Great to see 'yes, and?' #1, a striking comeback and my favourite of your top 5. My other favourites in the top 40:

 

Madison Beer - Make You Mine ('15 Minutes' was a good follow-up too, but this is absolutely her best song for me)

ROSÉ & Bruno Mars - APT. (rooting for it to finally get #1 later, too close to call as I write!)

Olivia Rodrigo - obsessed (more rock songs from her are always welcome)

Dua Lipa - Training Season

JADE - Angel Of My Dreams (I think the break after Little Mix would have done her more harm if she hadn't come back with something as strong as this, hope there's more like it and 'IT girl' to come!)

yes, and? is a fantastic #1! :wub: A stellar comeback track and an inspired direction for Ari to go in!

An fantastic End of Year #1 there, Lewis. 'yes, and?' this just missed out on an Top 40 place in my End of Year, 'I Can Do It With A Broken Heart' has yet to make an appearance yet.

Everyone seems to be happy with my #1 pick :cheer:

 

It was definitely disappointing that 'APT.' missed #1 yesterday. I think that was likely it's last chance :(

 

Thanks all :D

Hi Lewis, my favourites to appear in your top 40 are:

 

37. Taylor Swift feat. Florence + The Machine - Florida!!!

35. Addison Rae - Diet Pepsi

33. Taylor Swift feat. Post Malone - Fortnight

32. Kendrick Lamar - wacced out murals

30. JADE - Angel Of My Dreams

26. Charli xcx - Von dutch

24. Dua Lipa - Training Season

19. Charli xcx - Guess

13. Ariana Grande - the boy is mine

8. Ariana Grande - we can't be friends (wait for your love)

5. LISA feat. ROSALÍA - New Woman

4. Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso

1. Ariana Grande - yes, and?

 

So quite a lot of crossover although it was a very strong year for the pop girls :wub: (and good stuff from Kendrick too as ever! :lol:)

 

I totally agree that absence made the heart grow fonder with Ari and I was so ready for that new album after over three years of waiting! 'yes, and?' was an exciting way to kick off the era with the house pivot. I'm happy that the beautiful 'we can't be friends (wait for your love)' made your top 10 too... almost a snap position with me :o

 

Congrats on completing this :cheer: enjoyed following and reading your commentaries ^_^

Here are my favourites from your top 10:

 

01. Ariana Grande - yes, and?

02. Taylor Swift - I Can Do It With a Broken Heart

04. Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso

06. Madison Beer - Make You Mine

08. Ariana Grande - we can't be friends (wait for your love)

10. Sabrina Carpenter - Taste

 

Still need to finish my Year-End list at some point.

Nice top 10! Four of my major faves there in 'I Can Do It With A Broken Heart', 'Espresso', 'Make You Mine' and 'we can't be friends'. I'm still in awe at Madison Beer's song, a masterpiece! Also loved Ariana's pivot to dancier music for this album, it worked so well for her!
