![]() Even though the year involved more headphones than concerts, I could still find true north on my favorite albums and songs for 2020, because the way I engage with Gorillaz or Yves Tumor didn’t fundamentally change. For the record, that’s 40 places above *checks notes* Mariah Carey’s 1994 hit “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” and infinitely above anything Taylor Swift released, or any singles from an Ariana Grande album cycle.īut the reason I dragged my feet on this list specifically is that I…had trouble getting my bearings on this one. For instance, this song by the young man with the D-1 point guard haircut is called “Blueberry Faygo.” It and a slew of songs like it–chirpy numbers that are more rap than not, but get most of their sauce from a melodic hook and dreamy instrumental flourishes–blew up because of kinda flailing if memorable enough dances on the video app, with “Blueberry Faygo” getting big enough to place at #27 on the year-ender. Against those two extremes, 2020 was the year we dove into what TikTok could mean for pop. joint “Franchise” that only exists for the next 30 seconds because I just reminded you it ever existed at all. ![]() We had a mix of songs that refused to ever go away (see: “Blinding Lights,” “Don’t Start Now”), and a bunch of number ones that disappeared on impact there’s a one hit wonder, and then there’s a song like the Travis Scott featuring Young Thug and M.I.A. That’s the kind of heat 2020 had.Īnother thing, too, is that pop music never really figured itself out last year. Not that you’d know anything was up by listening to “Say So” or “Savage”, but in hindsight, the race between the two last spring was a competition between one song with an emerging problematic artist and her post-cancellation producer, and another song whose lead artist was later shot by another artis t in the same year. Amidst everything else going on–pandemic updates, racial justice upheaval, CNN alerts when a tenth of a percentage point in an Iowan county might shift, and any personal crises that came along or were exacerbated by all of the above–nothing felt goofier than going, “Huh, I wonder if this is the week ‘Levitating’ cracks the top ten.” And even when you did manage to tear yourself away to the charts, there were times where eyeing the Hot 100 felt emphatically not goofy. For one, keeping up with the Billboard horserace last year felt sillier than ever. It’s because I’ve dragged my feet for two three months getting to this one. wrong but I really feel like there's a song with that part, I remember it vividly.Full disclosure: the late start on Listmas and then the long gap between this year’s deep diving posts wasn’t because of last time’s piece. I'm still not sure if I might just be remembering A.M. also comes after this chorus, or at least a similar one. Vocalization that comes after the chorus in A.M. This is a chorus type section I'm pretty sure ( another line or maybe two, I'm pretty sure at least one rhymes with soul) I can't remember the lyrics very well but something like I'm not sure if it's the Mandela affect or something but I feel like the lyrics are from a real song that I'm just mixing up with A.M. for a while and I've had it stuck in my head for the last couple of days but when I actually went to go listen to it I realized the lyrics were mainly in Spanish, and definitely didn't have the part that I've had repeating in my head. ![]() So basically what happened is I've known the song A.M. I'm trying to find this idie rock song, probably a smaller band so I'd be lucky if anyone knows it.
