Notoriously :kink: never one to shy away from a battle, this led to 13 diss tracks being released between the pair that reignited the grime scene, put Chip right back on the map and made Bugzy a star. As far as beef's go in the UK scene, this was the most famous. Then in January 2021, Bugzy released the 3rd single from his upcoming album featuring none-other than Mr 'Munk himself. This was just a huge moment and the song didn't disappoint. The video cleverly recreates some iconic Tupac and Biggie shots and the line that I've quoted earlier from Chip is euphoric.

This nabbed the top spot on 'Flu Game' release week but always felt like a bit of a fluke-y #1 and fell away quickly. The flows are all solid here and the chorus is catchy but there isn't enough happening lyrically to put it near his very best. After 6 entries to my top 100 in 2019 and 7 last year, AJ has had a slightly underwhelming year with only one more song left to come. But that song may or may not be bringing him back :kink: a new highest EOY position.

This completely blows away anything I've heard from her previously. The synths on here are so infectious, the little bits of French thrown just add an extra little spice to the song and Kim REALLy sings the chorus. Unfortunately, the video does the anything thing of cutting out half the song, it doesn't hit the same without the long outro that builds and builds to a perfect crescendo and a signature 'woo-ah'. Let's just ignore how naff the follow-up single is.

It was such a deserving winner in the last contest I entered so congrats to Addy and thanks for introducing me to it :D This samples Blondie's 'Rapture' which is known as being one of the first hits to include a rapped verse and the rap on this is one of my favourite moments of the year musically. There hasn't been much 'dance' music to make my chart for quite a few years now but this is well deserving of bucking that trend.

I particularly like the wordplay in the chorus, I've heard pop songs that relate make-up to relationships before (hello Ari) but I'd never heard the metaphor in this song before and think it works brilliantly in the song being accentuated by the harsh, heavy synths that appear in time with her repeating 'run'. This feels quite Lana Del Rey in tone and is just a really interesting moment on an album that moves in lots of different directions.

This one even managed to become Bas's first entry to the UK charts, sneaking one week at #100 due to the J. Cole co-lead. And this feels like a Cole record really with him providing the final verse and the hook to the song. 'The Jackie' is basically the fun, summery version of a J. Cole track with traditional production from T-Minus but with some extra little fun additions to make it lighter and to suit Tjay's signature melodic flows. The Jackie in question actually refers to Jackie Robinson Parkway motorway in New York.

SBS was great and I was glad to see it have large success but in general I've always found her singles to be just too generic and anonymous. So the prospect of a new single that relies heavily on a sample of an old 'classic' Eurodance hit didn't sound the like the step away from the generic that I was hoping for. I've also never really been a fan of the ATC song so there was definitely still room for improvement on it for Ava and improve on it she did. This isn't particularly innovative but I feel like she was able to let her personality shine through on the track and I don't know why but it just works. It's fun and it's catchy!

This one was released with YSUFT as double-promotional singles just before the album was released and was (just about) my favourite of the two. The song is an ode to her twin sister and a trip to America they had when they were 19 and the nostalgic video features plenty of home-video of the pair growing up as children. This is just a really sweet song without any hint of irony or pretention.

'NiNE8' is a collection of artists that sometimes work with each other to release music under the collective name (like OFB). Another member of NiNE8 is Lava La who I previously entered to BJSC. The chorus on here is absolutely fire from Nayana IZ and was a real earworm for me. This is just a great slice of wavy, alternative rap and deserves much attention. The guy on this (Bone Slim) looks ridiculous in the video with that mask he wears but he has a distinctive voice and some really lovely flows that suggests he's a lot better than his style makes him look.

The title of this one comes from a quote from early in the original 'Matrix' film and Madison claims that and 'Alice In Wonderland' are influences for this but it's the brash, grung-y production that really stands out in this track. The bassline in the chorus hits hard and drops out at the perfect time to make this song feel like a slight attack on the ears at times. This feels like a perfect compliment to the rockier songs that Olivia Rodrigo has produced this year, like a dirtier cousin.

With nostalgic lyrics and a steady, elegant vibe and slow pace this song just transfers you to another headspace where you just get lost in the music. Kacey's vocals are so soothing and stunning without having to be over-exerting. What a squad she assembles for the album's accompanying film of which part of it serves as this song's official video with Victoria Pedretti, Symone and Princess Nokia joining her to enact a heist where they rob (and destroy) a wedding dress shop.
January 9, 20223 yr Author simple times was my favourite from Kacey's album, what a gorgeous track! :wub: It is such a standout moment but there's one track I prefer more. Certainly agree with the gorgeous comment :heart: Thanks Joseph :D

Fredo opens up strong with a great verse from him but the highlight of the song is Ghetts. He shows why he is a legend by completely out-rapping everyone else put together. The Dirty Dancing scheme is something else. It's made all the more epic with the sample of the choir in the background. The only let-down on this track is Giggs. His music is about vibes and not lyricism and he stick out like a sore thumb, especially coming straight after the epicness of Ghetts. They way the beat drops out while he raps his weak 'bunion' line just makes it's corniness stand out more.

The song is about her bipolar diagnosis and while the lyrics here aren't particularly specific, I think it's a good thing for pop songs to discuses mental health and try to normalise having conversations about it. It also just bops along really well some subtle added drums from Travis Barker.
January 9, 20223 yr Author 50. Olivia Rodrigo - Brutal 5th Single from 'Sour' Release Date: 7th May 2021 Chart Run: 5-6-7-10-13-13-18-(x6)-16 (8 weeks) Official Peak: n/a End-Of Year Points Chart Finish: 48 (47/100) Last.fm Chart Finish: =44 (=40/100) 'Cause who am I if not exploited?

This is such a bold way to open the album with the heavy drums and a guitar riff that is sure to grab your attention from the very first second. The song can perfectly be summed up by the words 'teen angst' where Olivia attempts to quell the rumour that your teenage years are the best of your life and highlight the anxieties and grievances of youth.
January 9, 20223 yr Brutal is an absolute Moment™ of an album opener, what a song! My other favourite here is simple times, a lot calmer by comparison but a highlight of Kacey's album for sure :wub:
January 10, 20223 yr Author Brutal is an absolute Moment™ of an album opener, what a song! My other favourite here is simple times, a lot calmer by comparison but a highlight of Kacey's album for sure :wub: They are both two very contrasting but brilliant tracks! Thanks Ansel :D
January 10, 20223 yr Author 49. Griff - Black Hole 1st Single from 'One Foot In Front Of The Other' Release Date: 18th January 2021 Chart Run: 15-2-5-10-10-15-13-19 (8 weeks) Official Peak: #18 End-Of Year Points Chart Finish: =49 (=48/100) Last.fm Chart Finish: =74 (=62/100) You disappeared and took some of me with you, babe B2SK_jb68dk Griff's Chart History: 2021 02 Black Hole 2021 17 One Night Griff's EOY History: 2021 49 Black Hole Black Hole is simply a great pure pop song with a majestic catchy chorus and some suitably melodramatic and absorbing lyrics. I think she has all the potential to become a massive star. She has a great ear for a melody and has really strong stage presence. Her performance of this at the BRITs was spectacular and she's going to be brilliant to watch live supporting Dua Lipa in April if that's anything to go by.
