g'won Dua Lipa! Levitating has held up very well.

Be interesting see how many you got right when official one come out

It's not an estimate, it's the actual YTD chart just without the most recent week, the top end in particular will be almost identical and the rest will only shuffle a bit

Dua at #6 two years in a row. Still loving Levitating and can't see how she's gonna top this era.

Levitating the highest non-#1 on the list??? Peaked at #5 but one of the biggest hits of the year!

Biography

 

The way Lil Nas X tells it, it sounds simple, almost mystical. “I was just kinda bored,” he told Apple Music. “I wanted to put something up. So that’s what I did.” Not only did the “it” in question—“Old Town Road”—become a global phenomenon (and 2019 Apple Music Award winner for Song of the Year), it prompted surprisingly pertinent conversations about how we define and classify music. Was it country? Was it rap? Cowboy anthem or LGBTQ camp? TikTok novelty or legitimate pop song?

 

It was, of course, all those things, and pity those who couldn’t live with the contradictions. Born Montero Lamar Hill in 1999, Nas grew up outside Atlanta but came of age on the internet, turning to social media and meme-making out of boredom and teenage loneliness—feelings compounded by his struggle to resolve his sexuality. (He later became the first artist to come out while his record was at No. 1, though he’d figured that between the rhinestones and rainbows and the general vibe, it would’ve been obvious.) “I didn’t know it was gonna do what it did,” he said of “Old Town Road” and its companion EP, 7. “But it did what it did.” - Apple Music

My hit of the year!

Manifesting the same success for The Motto this year as The Business received at the start of 2021.

It's sung by a female. Tiesto has never had a big hit with female singers (the Rita Ora single went top 15 so there's that)

Biography

 

Nobody makes feeling bad sound as good as The Weeknd. Even the singer’s sunniest tracks (“Can’t Feel My Face,” “Starboy”) feel anchored by darkness—the sense that pleasure is pain and beauty decays and you can’t have the night without the morning after. The brainchild of Toronto singer Abel Tesfaye, the project took off in 2011 with a string of mixtapes (later collected as 2012’s Trilogy) that forged cavernous, falsetto-driven R&B with narratives drenched in drugs, sex, and other regrettable decisions—a sound both sensuous and detached, featherlight and dead heavy. One of the earliest musicians to find his footing on the internet, Tesfaye originally offered his music through YouTube and free downloads, a move that felt radical then but is common now. Ethiopian by heritage (his parents immigrated to Canada in the late ’80s, just before he was born), Tesfaye—out from behind the mask of making art online—has since come to represent the changing face of Toronto, rooting himself not just in an international musical community but in a specific diasporic experience. Like the work of collaborator Lana Del Rey or early booster (and fellow Toronto native) Drake, Tesfaye’s music has become a symbol of hedonism pushed to bleak excess, with a series of albums—including 2015’s Grammy-winning Beauty Behind the Madness, 2016’s multiplatinum Starboy, and 2020’s dense and atmospheric After Hours—whose narrators can’t seem to say no even if they hate themselves for it later. And though his music has gotten a little brighter over time, the prevailing mood remains heavy, even unsettling—the ride you want more of even when you’ve had too much. Speaking to Apple Music about the persona behind his songs, Tesfaye said, “I’m a chill person. That guy is who I am, but it is who I am to myself and in my writing. Sometimes you take him and then you create more, and then it becomes this beast. You add more to him, and then it’s uncontrollable—its own character. It’s like Scarface, the villain: It’s horrible, but you can’t stop looking at it.” - Apple Music

Adele been top 10

'Levitating' isn't my favourite of Dua's but it is still a fun song like all her songs from this era have been. Been interesting to see how she follows up next era!

 

'Stay' is okay enough a song for Laroi but don't get the massive fuss over him personally.

Edited January 2, 20224 yr by ~Roba~

Can't believe The Weeknd is in the top 10 twice.

This... doesn't really go anywhere IMO but it's a nice song. Didn't expect it to be so big!

The Mabel one went to #15, Ritual with Rita got to #24

Oh yes, remembered them the wrong way. Still, his style is very "masculine" and the vocals on The Business were even "uber male" so we'll see how it goes.

The Top 10 won’t change at all. Easy On Me and Shivers etc will move up a bit.

 

Levitating is fab and what incredible sleeper success it had.

 

Montero is great - really pleased that Lil Nas did well with his comeback.

 

Save Your Tears is one of my songs of the year (I realise it’s really a 2020 song) - just glorious.

Edited January 2, 20224 yr by Jule Log

Can't believe The Weeknd is in the top 10 twice.

 

I believe we have someone else who is also in the top 10 twice.

It's sung by a female. Tiesto has never had a big hit with female singers (the Rita Ora single went top 15 so there's that)

 

Even if it could Top 20 that would be a great result! Hoping for more though obviously...

Save You Tears is nice enough, but I was surprised it managed to be quite so huge.

I believe we have someone else who is also in the top 10 twice.

Oh yeah, I forgot.

Biography

 

hi there! my name is olivia! I’m 18 years old and writing songs is my favorite thing to do in the world. I’ve been doing it for as long as I can remember and I fall more in love with it every day. The first song I ever got published was called “All I Want.” I wrote it for a show I act in and it was a super cool experience that opened up a lot of doors for me. On the last day before Covid lockdown, I met the team at Interscope/Geffen records and a producer named Dan Nigro for the first time. It turned out to be a very momentous day for so many reasons. I spent most of quarantine writing songs in my living room and producing them in a garage, including ‘drivers license’. It was always a really special song to me but I never expected the response it got. It absolutely blew my mind and I still to this day refuse to believe it all actually happened. The day I am writing this is actually the day that I turn in my debut album! I’m sooo excited for you to hear it and I feel so grateful that I get to make music for my job. - Spotify
