100: This peaked in the top 3 around the tail end of last year so by the time the new chart year began it was already making it's quick descent down. This has been a randomly good year for Ellie with this and another dance collab doing well + her finally releasing an album even though barely anyone knew about it. But hey... at least the music was quality? This heavily samples Depeche Mode which was both a red and green flag - I wasn't expecting the sample jumpscare but I wasn't completely mad at it either. This brought out a spurt of new Alok singles that I've really been digging and honestly there's no better way to get big than to make bops.

 

99: Oh this song. This was really supposed to be the big comeback. But the memoir was too good.

 

Normally the most random children's movie soundtrack songs don't grab me that much. I only got obsessed with "We Don't Talk About Bruno" because of work and I started spamming it daily. Plus it's Disney. However, there is something very 2014 Pharrell Williams about this, which can be taken as a positive or negative depending on how y'all feel about "Happy". But it's a more upbeat song and something that fits both the movie and the current boy band style. The only thing that bothers me about this is that Big Time Rush or the JoBros could have put this in their latest albums and no one would have batted an eye. It's no wonder this sunk like a stone after that first hit - the memoir dropped, which destroyed both of JT's big musical returns (and destroyed Nelly Furtado's return in the crossfire - Timberlake not beating the incel allegations I see), and Trolls World Tour got barely any promotion because of the strike. In a world where everyone was decent, this would have fared better.

 

98: This year was the best that Eurovision songs had done in the history of my chart, and Käärijä was the big success story. I was....... unsure about how to feel about it when I first listened to it. It only kept growing from there. I was somehow not turned off by the metal influences, and that's mainly because the verses kept a more inhibited approach to introducing the big drop. They were one build up, and then it explodes into a frenzy. No wonder it got so popular off the backs of TikTok and the like. This type of madness is what they aim for. Finland ended up getting 2nd that year but I gelled with this song more than I ever did with "Tattoo".

 

97: The Machine Gun Kelly/blackbear copycats really need to be studied at some point. First Trevor Daniel, then The Kid LAROI and now this. Maybe Knox will end up in the same boat in the future. Yeah the Laroi comparisons were what attracted me to the song in the first place. US radio seems to like this stuff a lot. It's equal parts trap and emo sad boi hours core. It's a combination that I feel like should annoy people a lot but most seem to tolerate it.

 

96: Every year there seems to be that one song by these guys that they release and I think is one of the catchiest things in the world. I guess this was their one for 2023. My first impression of the song was that it sounded like something and I couldn't put my finger to it. That ended up being "Tattoo", and to be honest that was probably me being delusional. This was another song that was a nice rush of adrenaline and never overstayed its welcome because it was so short. I like this droplets era that they're in right now.
