This is Dua Lipa's fourth entry on my year-end rankings. Her highest placement was last year with Don't Start Now at #20. Will she be able to beat it this year?
Dua snappedt with this song holy shit! It's such a fun, infectious vibe of a song! I appreciate the little things and I'm obsessed that whenever Dua sings "put my mind at ease" in the pre-chorus, the whole production actually slows down to go hand-in-hand with the lyric and actually makes the production ease with her mind. Even outside that, the rest of the song is amazing. It's just such a vibe and the flow of the song is so good! The way they add a little bit more to each chorus to make it interesting throughout is genius and I'm obsessed with the use of cowbell(???) throughout the song! It's addicting!
#59 - Experience - Victoria Monet ft. Khalid & SG Lewis
This is Victoria Monet's third entry on my year-end rankings. This is her highest placing song so far! Will she be able to beat it later on this year? Meanwhile, this is Khalid's third entry on my year-end rankings. His highest placement was last year with Intro at #32. Will he be able to beat it this year? Lastly, this is SG Lewis's first entry on my year-end rankings. Will he have more entries later? We'll see!
Oh I love the disco-esque bop. It's just such a fun vibe to head bop to! Victoria's sound really fits this song beautifully and the flow is beautiful! Khalid's part isn't out of this world or anything I care about, but he keeps the flow of the song and when Victoria joins him, they actually sound really good together and their voices coming together actually elevates the song! Shocked this didn't blow up and become huge cause it is a grade-A bop ladies!
#58 - Belladonna - Ava Max
This is Ava Max's second entry on my year-end rankings. This is her highest placing song so far! Will she be able to beat it later on this year?
This is 100% the sound that Ava needs to continue with going onward with her career! Her voice is so good at sounding haunted and the vocals here show this! She really sells this song and the outcome is me loving it! The extended "belladonna" notes are so stunning and I love them being followed up by She Wolf-esque breathing! Also we get to hear some of Ava's killer vocals! I honestly really appreciate getting to hear a darker Ava song cause it usually brings out the best moments! The closing bridge is so beautiful!
#57 - Boyfriend - Selena Gomez
This is Selena Gomez's third entry on my year-end rankings. Her highest placement was last year with Lose You To Love Me at #35. Will she be able to beat it this year?
This song is a certified bop! When Selena added more tracks to Rare, I was skeptical and I actually have yet to hear some of them, but with this becoming a single, I definitely heard it and I became obsessed! I mean, the lyrics are the biggest mood on the planet, like "I wanna boyfriend, tell me are there any good ones left?" MOOOOOD!!! The production on this song just make it a chill vibe and I love the consistency within the beat. It's not something to belt out, it's not something to get deep in the feels, it's just something to bop to and it's done perfectly!
