I only did a top 50 last year but I listened to a lot more music this year in quarantine so I expanded it to top 100. I gave the new year a week to sink in and allow me to properly form a list and now I'm ready to go!
#100 - Naked - Ava Max
This is Ava Max's first entry on my year-end rankings. Will she have more entries later? We'll see!
I honestly just really love the chorus! It's so beautiful and easy to get lost in and the production is so simple in it yet so effective! Also Ava looks STUNNING in the music video!
#99 - Ever Young - Marisa Maino
This is Marisa Maino's first entry on my year-end rankings. Will she have more entries later? We'll see!
Honestly, I was not that familiar with Marisa Maino coming into this year, but I got heavily involved with TSC until my laptop broke around August-ish this past year and that helped me get introduced to this song and I have enjoyed it from the first listen!
#98 - gold rush - Taylor Swift
This is Taylor Swift's fifth entry on my year-end rankings. Her highest placement was last year with Cruel Summer at #3. Will she be able to beat it this year?
Honestly, Taylor Swift was very hit or miss for me this year with her sister albums. Some songs are really good, like gold rush, while some are just plain bad like closure oop. Honestly I wish the build up in this song led to a huge explosion of production chaos at the end, but even without that, it's still a beautiful song that has been growing on me.
#97 - Easy - Troye Sivan
This is Troye Sivan's first entry on my year-end rankings. Will he have more entries later? We'll see!
No this is not the updated version with Kacey Musgraves and Mark Ronson. It's still not bad with them, but I've just fallen in love with the original. Troye is someone who has always made consistently good or okay music, but he rarely ever jumped into greatness for me, but he did here. I just think Troye's emotion behind the vocals sell the song for me.
