01) Mimoza - Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.
02) Ava Max - Took a while for it to grow on me, but it did. Probably would have ended up on my year end list if I started compiling it a few weeks later.
03) Demi Lovato - Like the message, not too keen on the delivery.
04) Jenifer - Not available in the US. Thanks, Obama. k, found it. k, not a fan.
05) The Faim - Was hoping for half-alive from bibbs, but this is another pretty solid one. Really dig the chorus.
06) K/DA - Ranked. Might have slipped a little bit from me since my end of the season list, but still goes off.
07) Sultan + Shepard - Ranked. I'll readily admit that the vocal, both in terms of quality and style, is easily the best part of it. The production falls a little short, but definitely solid enough to bring this all together.
08) CupcakKe - Ranked. I can make your placement shoot up, like old.faith.ful.when.we.f-
09) Emeli Sande - She sounds gorgeous as usual. Like I said the first time, it's not her best, but it's Emeli fuckin' Sande.
10) Within Temptation - *aggressive whiteness intensifies*
11) VIOLINA - Ranked. Hot mess express, all aboard.
12) R3HAB x THRDL!FE - Ranked. One of my basic white girl dance song obsessions.
13) Frenship - I was hoping I'd come away with it thinking it was more than just pleasant to me this time, but alas, it's just pleasant to me.
14) Grace Carter - Ranked.

15) Gabrielle - Ranked. I love how this sounds like it could be anything from like a subtle ballad to a dark pop song, and then OTT morphs into a Norwegian rave.
16) Delia - Chorus is a yes. The rest feels a little style over substance.
17) Dua Lipa - Ranked. So purrrrrtttttttyyyyyyyy.
18) Sara Jo - Ranked. Very aggressive delivery, but I'm into it.
19) Black Honey - I was like "ooooh yas, Patrick going outside of the box with Midnight" and then remembered The Driver Era is here and Midnight flopped pretty hardcore. Cool vibe, but not really enough for me to sink my teeth into it.
20) Lauren Aquilina - Well, that took quite a while to build to something underwhelming.
21) Che'Nelle - Ranked. Sing it, baby.
22) The Driver Era - Ranked. Whoa, Felix gets to enter both Preacher Man and Me Gusta?
23) Panic! At The Disco - I feel like I can't get away from this song at this point. Regular TSC. Beta. Best of. Radio.
24) JoJo - Still not sold on the chorus, but it's fine otherwise.
25) Faouzia - Ranked. Short, sweet, gets to the point and doesn't overstay its welcome.
26) Carpark North - One of those songs that really isn't for me, but I can appreciate that it's well done for what it is.
27) Ida Maria - Never change, TGM.
28) Mikolas Josef - Ranked. I love it... me gusta?
