24. gugudan - Not That Type // Sent by Insanity
TSC 362 - 6th place, 89 points (8 points given)
In a year where Kpop songs dominated the contest, gugudan delivered one of the strongest. Not That Type contains every element it takes for me to rate a Kpop song highly - it has sass, attitude, a modern production, and a killer drop.

TSC 353 - 5th place, 88 points (10 points given)
CXLOE appeared on my list last year, and she's ranked again this year. This is probably a pretty random entry for most of you, but Low Blow just does it right for me. It's chill, yet punchy. It encapsulates 2019 pop at its best.
22. Caroline Polachek - So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings // Sent by Darbe

Another random song choice for many I suppose, but it's MY LIST, NOT YOURS. I saw someone compare this song to Kate Bush, and I totally see it. It's extremely chill and laid back, and I love the transition from verses to chorus. The chorus also contains a fun little boost of energy. I just like every element of this. I also didn't realize Caroline Polachek was revered by Gay Twitter™, too. I guess my affection toward it is in my DNA.
My thoughts about the music video are also summed up by this YouTube comment:

21. Kat DeLuna - Last Night in Miami // Sent by CharlieBibi

If anything this update could be described as RANDOM. This song would be blasting in at least one store any time I went to the mall over the summer. It's just THAT summer banger. A great return to form by Kat, as well.

Caroline's song is so weird to me cause in theory it shouldn't really stand out - yet I know so many people that think it's a bop (myself included)
