Three stunning album tracks from three of of my top 5 albums of the year just miss out on the top 10. Hoping to get this done in the next few days! <3

Giving Taylor a listen now, sounding quite cosy and wintery (even if the song was released in May!) I've always thought her voice sounds quite nice.

 

Nice to see Burning Bridges here as well, as with Mirror they're some of Sigrid's best and manage to grab me even if it's not the genre of music I'd always listen to.

Hope you enjoyed 'Taylor', it's very cute! I've also loved Sigrid's latest releases, very excited for her collab with Griff next week.

 

Thanks Pete! :cheer:

"Better Not Together", my favourite from Anne-Marie's 2021 album "Therapy", kicks off the top 10 followed by the storming opener to "SOUR" that is Olivia Rodrigo's "brutal" *.*. Ashe & FINNEAS's collab "Til Forever Falls Apart", which is accompanied by a beautiful music video is at #8 and perfect pop song "Black Hole", which was the song that got me into Griff's music, is at #7.

Loving Brutal & Black Heart in your top 10.

 

Black Heart is such a great song from Griff. Her performance at the BRITs was excellent.

Better Not Together in the top 10, amazing :wub: Black Hole was such a grower for me too, though I think One Foot in Front of the Other is my favourite Griff track!

Black Hole and Brutal :wub: I'm so glad Black Hole turned into a big hit, it's a shame Griff's follow-ups (except One Night) weren't quite as big!

6: Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever

 

Single from "Happier Than Ever"

Lyric: ”you made me hate this city”

 

 

5: Demi Lovato feat. Noah Cyrus - Easy

 

Album track from “Dancing With The Devil...The Art Of Starting Over”

Lyric:”i'll leave through the gift shop, I'm keeping all my souvenirs"

 

 

4: Olivia Rodrigo - traitor

 

Single from “SOUR”

Lyric:”god I wish that you had thought this through, before I went and fell in love with you”

 

 

The title track from Billie Eilish's sophomore album, and my favourite track from Billie ever is my sixth favourite song of the year. #5 was a huge surprise from an album that also really surprised me, I loved this track from the very first listen and that hasn't changed! Demi and Noah's voices blend so well together and it's just a stunning song. And 'traitor' from my favourite album of the year SOUR just misses the Top 3 at #4.

 

Top 3 coming tomorrow :cheer:

 

 

Loving Brutal & Black Heart in your top 10.

 

Black Heart is such a great song from Griff. Her performance at the BRITs was excellent.

Thank you! I loved her BRITs performance as well, Black Hole is so great :heart:

 

Better Not Together in the top 10, amazing :wub: Black Hole was such a grower for me too, though I think One Foot in Front of the Other is my favourite Griff track!

:wub: my favourite from ‘Therapy’ by far! ‘One Foot In Front Of The Other’ is a great song too, the whole EP is so solid!

 

Black Hole and Brutal :wub: I'm so glad Black Hole turned into a big hit, it's a shame Griff's follow-ups (except One Night) weren't quite as big!

 

More ‘Black Hole’ love! Totally agreed, I have high hopes for the Sigrid collab! <3

 

3: Taylor Swift - right where you left me

 

deluxe album track from “evermore”

Lyric:”you left me no choice but to stay here forever”

 

 

Digitally released in January last year, the CRIMINALLY underrated 'right where you left me' is Top 3 and has since firmly established itself as one of my favourite Taylor songs ever! :wub:

 

2: Taylor Swift - All Too Well (10 Minute Version)

 

Single from “Red (Taylor’s Version)”

Lyric:”your apathy’s like a wound in salt”

 

Everything about this song is perfection :wub: the lyrics, *that* bridge and a whole short film to go with it!! When this was first announced I was so excited and it was everything I could've wanted from an extended version of another of my favourite Taylor songs :heart:

 

 

1: Olivia Rodrigo - good 4 u

 

Single from “SOUR”

Lyric:”your apathy’s like a wound in salt”

 

From the day this song came out, I've been absolutely obsessed :cheeseblock: It racked up 50+ plays on my last.fm in its first week and over 200 in total in 2021 and I'm still not tired of it! The lyrics, the vocals, the iconic video. good 4 u just had to be #1 on this chart <3

And that's it! Thank you so much to everyone who has commented throughout :heart:

Quite liked Black Hole, it was really good to see Griff get her first UK Top 40 single this year! All Too Well is a pretty nice songs as well, I was drawn to it a lot more than I thought I would be.

 

Thanks for this countdown Lunar, I've enjoyed following along!

Can't deny good 4 u at #1, one of the year's defining songs undoubtedly! I tend to opt for the 5 minute version of All Too Well myself but the 10 minute one is a masterpiece as well, glad to see that so high up :wub:
