01) Chloe x Halle - let me just not acnowledge the fact chloe x halle and bree runway were robbed of winning that week by an overrated TSC artist for now... let's instead talk about how godly (hehe) is. the song just exudes luxury, such a moodsetter. ungodly hour was definetly top 3 albums of 2020 and this is one of my favorite songs from it. the harmonies yes GOD.
02) push baby - yeaaaaah i still don't like this. how did this get top 10 lmao
03) Victoria Justice - we deserved a victoria justice win we really did. colton haynes is the devil but victoria justice is the progenitor of pop music and this is just an iconic song. legendary even. killed ariana.
04) Manal - yeah i think i like sl*y better. it's a cool song but i'm left wondering why didn't will just send lapsley again so i could 0 it undeservedly again [EDIT: just realised 2nd chance entries were forbidden so thats why chappell roan isnt here gotcha gotcha]
05) Olivia Dean - the definition of pure, raw, unfiltered talent. i don't even know what is it about this song in particular that makes it so lovely but ahhh this just makes me happy
06) ORI - i must've been so busy posting gifs at the live show that this getting 2nd place didn't even cross my mind... don't remember how i felt about it then, don't really feel anything about this now.
07) DOLLA - saw them getting really overrated in other song competitions but idk, they're kind of queens! the song itself is fine, maybe i'm just too used to high quality kpop that efforts like these don't really hit me the same but it's a very fine song and i appreciate the effort. definetly entered in the wrong week tho
08) Jumpa, VVAVES - 5 of your exes kinda outsold but i still have time for this wasabi ripoff. i love the production!
09) Bree Runway, Yung Baby Tate - everything about this is incredible yet it's like the 4th best song on 2000AND4EVA. bree runway supremacy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 also yung baby tate kills on this stream her ep pls!
10) Karmen x BRUJA - i'm still pretty meh about this. wish alewya or belaro were here instead but WHATEVER. it's a FINE song for what it is. better romanian bops were made and sent this year so!
11) Why Don't We - still don't really care for this song nor them really but i appreciate the sentiment.
12) Aly & AJ - my MOMS. i feel inclined to say "attack of panic" is better since i sent it so... "attack of panic" is better since i sent it. STILL i really really love this song. they haven't missed i believe! sunmi kinda deserved to win this week but both songs are stellar anyways SO yes i'm happy for them and i'm happy this won yes god the house.
13) Aluna - did a full 360... crazy... yeah i just hear a lesser version of "don't start now". i wish r.o.e. was sent even tho she would flop now THAT'S my mom.
14) Mondo Grosso - might boycott bc alexeh did not in fact send teamarrr for this but WHATEVER this is still a really great song and i'm pleasantly surprised it's here!!!
15) Victoria Monet, Khalid, SG Lewis - i really regret not sending this the week it was sent (even tho i still outplaced it) because this... this is just a fabulous song. not even a mumbling, energy killing khalid can kill this song. victoria monet's power! one for the history books yes god!
16) beabadoobee - i love this queen. i hate that her biggest song is that soundcloud rap SHIT but what can i say i really liked her album and even if "worth it" and "tonight" kind of outsold this, it still brings me back to that early 00s michelle branch fodder i live for. so good, i hope this does well.
17) The Chainsmokers - i get that this is an actually tolerable and decently produced song but that doesn't mean it's automatically good :D chainsmokers deserve to have their limbs torn off for crimes against music and i will preach that until they get their comeuppance!
18) Millie B - DO YOU WANT ME TO LEND YOU A BLENDER? like with cookiee kawaii don't know if this will get points but it honestly deserves to we'll see we'll see. halsey's cover at the tiahra nelson insta live outsold but it's FINEEEE we still LOVE her
19) Tayla Parx - yeeeeah i really robbed this the first time around, gave it like 6 pts i believe? either way pretty solid r&b! so poppy and cute. love love love.
20) LÉON - OVERRATED. never got the hype for this and it sure as hell shouldn't have beaten chloe x halle nor bree runway! like... i guess it's PRETTY but i don't know? what am i missing? it's a FINE song but léon should've sat there and ate her food. dan sent better this half anyways but i'll let the léon stans have their peace. it's... not for me i guess.
21) KAYTRANADA -
the winner that never was </3 having to block tinashe out of the win while being a tinashe stan definetly weighed on my conscience and i apologise for my actions. god this song still GOES. honestly a masterpiece. i've raved about this song so many times i don't even know what to say anymore. so sleek and good, the fact it didn't win still keeps me up at night.
22) Unsecret x Neoni - tailormade for an edgy YA movie adaptation trailer now streaming on netflix. can't say i really liked it unfortunately, it's very "wh#te people fuck to believer by imagine dragons".
23) CupcakKe - it's a decent song for her. she's a pretty decent rapper once the novelty factor wears off but she kinda peaked circa "ephorize" era didn't she.
24) Thelma Plum - like with izzy bizu i really didn't think much of this until it grew on me a LOT in the course of the week it was sent. a really beautiful song AND hands down one of the best winners of the year. lowkey wish tinashe was here tho so i could finally have both tinashe songs outplace me and i could finally live in peace but it is what it is. as for thelma.... stellar song.
25) Evangelia - in contrast, this song kinda soured on me! "páme páme" might be 2 minutes of bed creaking and LALALALALALAALAs but i still prefer it to "fotia" that's funny! it's still a competent song but seeing it be so overused everywhere and the song itself aging like milk didn't do this any favors.
26) Vanessa Quai - where is the album we need the damn album
27) Rina Sawayama - easily song of the year. i remember being gobsmacked when i first heard this. rina's had a couple of AMAZING songs that made me stan (notably "alterlife" and "cherry") before dropping her album but this??? this??? THIS!!! a future classic and i'm happy for the slight viral success it brought her.
28) Dagny - should've been sunmi but i'm FINE with this. i mean i can't lie i really like this song still. yes it's very basic and yes it definetly SHOULDN'T have beaten rina but it's a very well produced scandibanger. what can i say? dagny's got the basic bops!
29) HUGEL - LMAOOOO this song has always been a scream. it's more funny than anything but it also kinda pops off? never been big on it or anything but it's a funny bop.
30) Alanis Morissette - has kind of grown on me but idk if this is my thing. her vocal kinda takes me out a little, sorry alanis.
31) Red Hearse - has grown on me substantially but oh my god men and their high falsettos need to chill. otherwise it's a pretty solid song and i can see why it won, albeit izah was ROBBED.
32) BANKS - another song on my tsc list ok fine i'll update it soon. still haven't gotten around to diving deep into banks' discography but this is just... so good. i really hope this qualifies i am rooting for it yes god.
33) Chesca, Jon Z - COME ON PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS. a p#ssy slapper if there ever was one and definetly alvaro's best song this year i mean come on now. so trashy but so fun, great way to end the semi.
