#80 - "Enter Entirely" by Cloud Nothings
Please don't ask me to go back to the start of 2017 and explain why this made an impression on me because *a lot* has happened since then and upon re-listening to it, it sounds perfectly nice.
For fans of: pretending the Smashing Pumpkins are still culturally relevant (sorry LemonJam)
#79 - "Scared to be Lonely" by Martin Garrix & Dua Lipa
I have had just about enough of Spotify-dominating wibbly-wobbly synths this year (well, the past three years, really) so I'll just tuck this under the doormat and hope it'll appease the Dua stans. But in all fairness this is a lovely little song.
For fans of: being in the position to actually "have someone to hold" and still question it, ungrateful little bitch
#78 - "Madiba Riddim" by Drake
I don't really need to sell Drake to anyone do I? 'More Life' was ok! Not his best but ok! This was my 2nd favourite of the lot!
For fans of: Drake, I guess
#77 - "1 Night" by Mura Masa & Charli XCX
Look, I don't really know what Charli XCX is doing any more either. One minute she's an indie darling, next she's BREAKING THE RULES and BEING A REBEL for American schoolkids, now this year she's working with gender-queer PC music god SOPHIE and experimenting with all sorts of dance music. She is an untameable object and I guess that can be fun when the music is good. At least this one was! Also credit to Mura Masa for releasing one of the year's better debuts
For fans of: not-quite-A List popstars collaborating with not-quite-A List electronic acts
#76 - "Take Me Inside" by Sampha
I'm not at all enjoying the frequency with which I'm failing to find studio recordings on YouTube, because Sampha is the sort of musician best enjoyed alone and in quiet. His voice on this track has a certain Nina Simone quality that is just gorgeous.
For fans of: being an adult and looking past the song title
#75 - "True Love and a Free Life of Free Will" by Japandroids
The lyrics are pretty lovely and cute, and it all just feels very feelgood.
For fans of: Springsteen
#74 - "Get Lost" by Washed Out
The music video comprises a bunch of newspaper clippings cut out and transformed into a joy ride through paradise and the song itself is not unlike paradise either.
For fans of: Italian house
#73 - "Lost in Your Light" by Dua Lipa & Miguel
The most beautiful man and woman in music teaming together to slay our p/bussies!
For fans of: popstars who still fly in their music videos in 2017
#72 - "Heatstroke" by Calvin Harris, Young Thug, Ariana Grande & Pharrell
This 100% should've been the #1 smash that 'Feels' would later turn out to be, because this is a hell of a lot funkier.
For fans of: incredibly straightforward summer anthems.
#71 - "Distraction" by Kehlani
This song had me at 'DOYADOYAWANNABE?'
For fans of: not-terribly-subtle "come **** me" jams.
