how is butter higher than the feels......

i don't know most of these songs; idk if that makes me old, out of touch, or both lmao.

the ones i did recognize are ones i actually like:
mitski – the only heartbreaker
willow — transparent soul
kacey musgraves — breadwinner
snail mail — ben franklin (valentine is superior tho)
japanese breakfast — be sweet
muna/phoebe bridgers — silk chiffon
silk sonic — leave the door open (i really like the whole album, don't @ me)
lil nas x — montero (call me by your name)

(also, driver's license instead of good 4 u or literally any other song from olivia's album?? really??)

I don‘t know the majority of the songs and I don‘t feel bad about it.
Lol, they wrote Billie‘s second name as Ellish.

lol

i'd make a joke about how they don't deserve to be there but driver's license is 3rd so this list is worthless anyway

i did enjoy montero! it was fun. i even enjoyed butter after they added megan, i just don't think it's a top 50 material.

I’m happy for Twice getting a spot on the list, as it’s one of the few kpop songs that brought what I look for in kpop this year with addicting chorus and upbeat tempo.

Even though there are some picks I don’t care for, I’m not going to be completely cynical and there are some recs here that I haven’t checked out so I’ll give them a listen!

I’m glad Magdalena Bag got a spot, I love their music. Mercurial World is a fantastic album. I’ve grown to like Mitski quite a bit, and Wet Leg & Pom Pom Squad have a sound I don’t go for frequently but it has a vibe I find intriguing. Wet Leg’s Chaise Lounge and Too Late Now are interesting, I’m saving those.
