Usually a favourite of mine, I'm finding the bottom 50 weak And even some odd choices in the top 20.
Some good tracks this year though. Would love to hear what BEA thought were some of the best. Despite being the era of 'the single' I can't help but feel the past 3-4 years have been far better years for albums than singles, 2019 no exception.
Being said, not sure if my top 2 would be any different, so can't complain. _________________ Submit Your List for BEA's 2023 Film Poll!

I think the top 10 is pretty good, I'm glad "Not" sneaked in there. I honestly heaven't heard a lot of the rest of it, but there are some weird choices among the songs I do know. Even I would admit The 1975's "People" shouldn't be on this list, and the one Purple Mountains song they picked is, IMO, the worst song on that album. _________________ And it's hard to be a human being.

Top 10's definitely decent. Didn't think Bags would land so high, and I don't care for that Bad Bunny track at all, but I'm cool with the rest. Little stupid they don't have any MadGibbs, Nick Cave, Tyler, or Carly Rae Jepsen anywhere on the board though... Surely Flat Tummy Tea, Crime Pays, Too Much, Earfquake and Julien could've made the cut. And yeah, All My Happiness Is Gone would've been my pick for Purple Mountains.
I still can't really get into 90% of the cloudrap/trap scene Nearly every hip-hop track off the list isn't my thing (Danny Brown, Rico Nasty, and Maxo Kream as exceptions). The only 'cloud' one I can seem to enjoy is Lil Uzi. Like I said, would've loved to see some MadGibbs... maybe Little Simz, Billy Woods, Earl, Mavi, Quelle Chris, Slowthai... Pissy Pamper's getting praise everywhere, but I'm finding it just a bore.
Giving what I haven't heard a spin right now. Digging this Four Tet track.
Sidenote, surely I'm not the only person who thinks All Mirrors is better than Lark? _________________ Submit Your List for BEA's 2023 Film Poll!

Snow Is Falling In Manhattan is the worst song on the album?? Well I'll be damned, it would maybe be my pick for the best song there. It has excellent lyrics at the very least. But yeah, the list was decent. _________________ Finally updated the overall chart

I think it's just too monotonous musically for me to really get into. All of the songs on that album are great lyrically, so I wouldn't say there are any bad songs on it. But All My Happiness is Gone, Margaritas At the Mall, and Nights That Won't Happen are all among my favorite songs of the year and I'm pretty surprised they didn't pick one of those for the list. Of course when I read these lists I assume whoever is making them has the same taste as I do, which is a bad assumption _________________ And it's hard to be a human being.

Shawn Mendes, LOLOLOL they really have gone all in on t he "HELLO, FELLOW KIDS!" appeal. At least Rolling Stone's choices don't even hide their out-of-sync dadrock joy. On the actual songs, they could be worse, but still... (and even though I don't really like it that much I can now say I've heard "Bad Guy" in twelve different translations, three-to-four of which I actually have some familiarity with the language, so ironically it's probably going to end up as my most listened-to song of the year. You win, instagram.)
