01. miley cyrus - she is the propheteer. and this was her prophecy. i reiterate everything that i’ve said about this song like 3 months ago it is still such a model beta entry where it’s both campy enough for me to teehee at but also boppy enough that i could stan and give it points. those blaring electronic 2009 synths in the chorus… whew. u know miley isn’t always that talented but she had her finger PRESSED on making real music back then.
02. the magician - this is like … very vaguely familiar. i forgot about that era where u could actually hear years & years on the radio my my how much time has passed… u know ‘king’ was that song i never playd it myself bc i read on the internet he was gay but when it came on the radio….. truly a collapse. this is solid too actually i like this song it takes me BACK!! YARR.
03. kelly rowland - i was gonna say something among the lines of “work” and “motivation” were better but like… they all sit at the same table. beautiful beautiful songs. this is such an encapsulation of the very early 2010s david guetta sound and prob the best song to come out of that wave of edm? such a smash. the bridge OMFGGGGGG. we focken love u kelendria
04) anastacia - maybe it’s the little sl*yyter autotune stan in me talking but i never understood why people would listen to vocalists with like… annoying tones. this is a good song though if u can get past anastacia wailing like a gunned down baby goat but then again i prefer ‘i’m outta love’ hmm… it’s good though.
05. blu cantrell -
06. junior senior - this was in my 150+ song beta playlist and my my is it a smash. such a fun instrumental and a legitimately great song. just makes u wanna get up and bust a move!!
07. fleur east - i fear age has not been kind to her. she was a smash in 2015 u know… all over the back to school commercials. but that was a different period of time. sometimes i do get down to the sweetune beats but i do think this has aged poorly i do… it’s a nice song though. fleur deserved better. i guess
08. gwen stefani - usually if it’s not ‘love angel music baby’ era gwenneth i am not taking it but i mean u can’t really deny this song now can u. a very cute throwback song for her. i know nowadays she’s wearing those box braids and coming for sheensea’s island gyal burger king crown but it’s kind of wild to look back at an era where gwen stefani was still a wasian woman. ‘what you waiting for?’ was avails though and that’s like one of the best songs of all time so u know. but potato pothhatoe this is iconic too. akon kind of pop prince too. maybe not that far. he’s definitely a DUKE. court jester? who’s to say. he’s no sean kingston tbf @Darbe
09. nelly furtado - my edgy hot take growing up is that this song was never in a million years seeing ‘maneater’ and ‘say it right’ in the quality charts. i still kinda do prefer those songs to this one but i mean what is the point in pitting excellence against each other. one of timbaland’s better productions and while i love my good portuguese sister nelly furtado como uma forçaaaaaaa como uma forçaaaaa como uma força que ninguém pode parar arriba!!! i do fear aaliyah would have outslayed her if timbaland had made her that beat!
10. destiny’s child - i was gobsmacked when i first saw the music video for this bc the only lineup i knew was the one with kelendria and michelle… so when i saw four of destiny’s children i was like whaaat?? but anyways. we been knew darkchild is father and has saved music for years to come and we always thank him for his contributions. a great song purr!!
11. aya nakamura - i mean yes this song is good and the production does go but ‘copines’ will always be better and i don’t CARE what u all have to say. she fell off after this iirc? mommmmm
12. corinne bailey rae - remember when those little tiktok boys covered this song two yrs ago? embarrassing for the music community. but this has always been a fab very very pretty very very gorgalini song just a little willowy tune for the girls to do some willowing and stuff… just very summery and adorable and beautiful.
13. zedd, kesha - i’ve never heard this in my life. what the f*ck is this?? hunger games trailer ass sounding song… don’t play with me. let’s wait for the drop. WHERE’S THE DROP????? no drop in a zedd song….. literally what am i listening to… florence + the machine sounding ass song oh nooo get me out of here. begone.
14. kate bush - overexposure rly does kill a song bc this is the last thing i’d want to be listening to right now oh my god. like yes it’s good but i can’t unsee the little pissy boys and girls on twitter with sadie sink pfps ranting about the boy with the bob or whatever idk i don’t watch stranger things i have better things to do like not watch stranger things. i feel for what the people have done to kate bush’s iconography but i mean yes it’s a very good song and always has been!!
15. ailee - it’s so sad that this is coming off the heels of that undeserved GMC win… but i said it there and i said it now this, like miley, is such a model beta entry where it’s campy and boppy at the same time. just a rly fun song but we must let ailee rest. i know this is the only time she ever made good music in her life but she needs to lay down. work on getting a life mayhaps. but it's a vry drama bop
16. rihanna - this is still rihanna’s most motr song but who gives a fawk we lov u james yesss !!!!!! u already know im gna be rooting for this HARD in the result show baby lets go socal gals!!!!!!!
17. sugababes - to send this and not ‘about you now’... the sender is big brained for sure. sugababes (and girls aloud too i guess but this is not about THEM) rly were at their best when they were making unconventional pop music that u know could stand the test of time…
