Patrick's TSC 2021 Ranking

Greetings, Earth queens!

It's time for my annual TSC ranking. I use the word 'annual' loosely because I never actually posted my ranking for 2020 BUT I managed to dig it up from the depths of my Google Sheets archives. I will post the full ranking before I start highlighting songs from this year.

There's a chance I don't finish posting the entire ranking but we can hope for the best, can't we? I have yet to decide whether I'm going to highlight my entire top 100 or just a select few songs (ie. top 50). Chances are if I decide to highlight my full list I won't finish posting it so for that reason you might just get a top 50! Either way, I plan to post my entire ranking by the time I finish the process of highlighting individual songs and questioning why I only gave them five points.

Like always, songs entered to themed weeks that wouldn't otherwise fit eligibility criteria (ie. Eurovision songs, songs from past decades, songs by Joy Crookes, etc.) were not considered for my ranking. Neither are songs I entered which means no Yung Bae or Channel Tres.

TSC 2020 RANKING

Before we start the new ranking, let me debut my ranking from last year. Of course there are things I would change about it in retrospect but I don't have the time or energy to focus on the past. The ranking is valid AS OF January 2021. 'So & So' by HANA would currently be a top five entry but that's neither here or there.

I present to you my top 100 songs entered to TSC in the year 2020:

"Bad Bitch" by Archie (ft. DoNormaal)
• Entered by turkeylover to TSC 460
• 18th place - 36 points (8 points given)



Starting my ranking off with the baddest bitch of TSC 460. I don't understand why everyone and their mother acted like this song murdered their entire family. It's really not THAT bad. In fact I think it's excellent. It's not a song I would normally gravitate toward but there was something about this that hooked me from about the second time I heard it. The instrumental is banging throughout the entire song, and the lyrics are easy to remember and ultimately get hooked on. The chorus also does a good job of keeping my interest engaged. DoNormaal's verse toward the end is a nice touch to an already well executed alternative R&B song. I'm just a big fan of this and I find its replay value to be quite high for me personally.

"Do It Again" by Sofia Karlberg
• Entered by ianfitz0012 to TSC 461
• 4th place - 88 points (4 points given)



FOUR POINTS!? What was I smoking that week? I must have been too blinded by M*neskin and Azealia Banks to reward this an amount of points that it actually deserved. The leap of quality from 23rd place finisher 'When The Storm Is Over' to THIS is outstanding. Sofia decided to serve one of the best pop songs of the month, delivering on every avenue: visually, vocally and musically. It's such a smooth listen, and feels familiar while still sounding fresh. I love myself a good quality haunting pop song, and this definitely fits the bill. I think it was slightly overshadowed by Lennon Stella's 'Fancy' that week but both songs aged like absolute wine (spoiler alert).

"Kitican" by PIERI
• Entered by ganghandedcat to TSC 457
• 4th place - 88 points (12 points given)



I realize this and Sofia both placed 4th with the same number of points. Twins. This songs production reminds me so much of a song that was posted months ago by Alvaro or Gang at the end of a listening party whose name is completely blanking me right now. All I remember about that song is that it was by a white guy who was wearing an orange(?) bandana and was swinging a golf club around in the music video. But that song was a bop and this reminds me of that! There have been few good reggaeton-inspired songs by underground artists entered to TSC that don't make me want to bash my head in but this is definitely one of them. This was a standout in that weeks contest, and it resulted in me rewarding it 12 points over Latto's Big Energy who I had initially intended on submitting that week. All-around a great, energetic song that is a lot of fun to listen to and that I rarely get bored of.

"Distorted Light Beam" by Bastille
• Entered by dragotistic to TSC 445
• 4th place - 105 points (6 points given)



TSC 445 was a great contest. If you know me you know that this song is completely up my alley yet it was only my fifth favourite song that week (hint hint). But yeah, I've always enjoyed Bastille's music even if I seldom listen to them. I wouldn't even say this song reignited my interest in them as a band as I still don't listen to them regularly with this song being the exception. It has a great build and it's unsurprisingly excellently produced. This was definitely one of my most played songs from this summer so for that reason alone its nostalgia is already pretty high to begin with, but it's the type of song I'd enjoy at any time in any event.

"Lonely Girl" by REYNA
• Entered by turkeylover to TSC 446
• 10th place - 62 points (10 points given)



Y'all are going to hate me for this but I LOOOOOOOOVE this basic bop. Only three songs aged well from that weeks contest and this is one of them. This is like the definition of basic white girl pop but it's so good. If I recall correctly even Darbe gave this 12 points so that's how you know it's bad I mean good. Its replay value is through the ROOF, and the chorus often lives rent free in my head. I can't help but feel like a lonely girl at times.

"Shiny" by Lil Mariko
• Entered by hellocat to TSC 435
• 3rd place - 101 points (10 points given)



Another song you wouldn't expect me to be into but that I totally am. This song is the definition of chaotic good. I love a good screamo moment in any genre of music. The chorus actually adds a lot of character to this and keeps me wanting to come back for more. Pair that with a legitimately good melody and a solid production and you have a super infectious, catchy song. I'm not always in the mood to listen to this but when I am I want to put it on repeat a bunch of times.

PS. jacksonjoseph99 also has an entry in my top 50.

Clearly my list of players with an entry was not exhaustive. So if one of y'all that was named actually DOESN'T have a song... I'm sorry.

"Irrational" by Shay Lia
• Entered by Lemjam6 to 447
• 7th place - 73 points (10 points given)



Considering I sent Shay Lia to TSC in 2020 I couldn't not include her in this list. She IS the moment. I feel like this song is so underrated. I'm willing to bet that if it had a music video it would not have been looked past the way that I think it was. The summer vibes to this song are unreal. Perhaps that's the nostalgia kicking in because this WAS one of my most played songs throughout July and August, but I couldn't help myself. Whenever I listen to this I picture myself laying on the beach sipping a margarita. While I love the beach vibes to this, it's a song I would listen to at any time because of how relaxing it is. It puts me at ease, and that's what I love most about it.

"Headspace" by Riley Clemmons
• Entered by Darbe to TSC 455
• 8th place - 66 points (10 points given)



BASIC WHITE BITCH ALERT. Darbe's first entry in my top 50 is quite possibly his worst submission objectively speaking. There is NOTHING special about this, but it's probably one of my most played songs LOL. This really caught me off guard in that weeks contest because objectively speaking it was a very strong contest with a lot of high-quality songs, but I was failing to connect with most of them until this came on. Clearly that was not a blip because my affection for this has remained somewhat consistent. It's just such a bop to me. Its structure actually reminds me a lot of Set Me Free by Eden Alene. The progression feels quite similar to SMF, with the final chorus being the most climactic. In fact I could see this song being performed on the Eurovision stage. I couldn't justifiably put this any higher, but it's a song I very much enjoy every time it comes on.

"what if i took it off for you?" by Nemahsis
• Entered by Talian to TSC 447
• 9th place - 61 points (3 points given)



Talk about a grower. This is probably one of my biggest growers of the year. On the surface it's a very pretty ballad and I recognized that almost immediately, but it blossomed into something REALLY special and beautiful. The song is incredibly short but it definitely packs a punch despite the simple melody. This sounds like it could be a prelude to something a lot grander, but I didn't need this to deliver anything bigger. I love the simplicity, and I find the whole package to be charming and especially touching. One of my favourite pure ballads of the year by far.
