I'm amazed "Positions" by Ariana Grande was number 1 for six weeks and didn't even make the Top 100

Just a thought. I wonder how today’s music would have faired in the 80s?

100. kings & queens - ava max

and no, i didn’t get blinding lights’ position mixed up, i genuinely hate that song with a passion 😂
some songs will have either had to have their scores knocked down because those songs either didn’t age well, or were on last years list, or both! i counted remixes for certain songs too, particularly roses because occ don’t credit imanbek.
overall, a decent year for music, but nowhere near as good as 2015 or 2018.

if you’re curious as to why i gave a song a certain score, let me know and i’ll tell you why. thanks for reading! :)))

DISCLAIMER: To clarify, I had to rate the original version of 'Roses', since OCC unfortunately didn't credit the Imanbek remix (which is actually a banger!). :P

Blinding Lights definitely well deserved at top :)
I still do not understand why Dance Monkey got so popular? I've never liked and I can't see why people seem to like it a lot?

More like the best sellers from 2019 really. Just 2 of the Top 10 were actually released in 2020.
Ridiculous how much weighting is given to passive streaming and streams of whole albums, and how little to active streaming and purchasing.

TOTAL SCORE: 7,427/10,000 (74.27%)

While I highly doubt that anything will be able to match the absolute incredibleness of 2019 in music for me, 2020 still actually turned out pretty good for music, especially with amazing albums such as 'After Hours' releasing! In terms of this chart, the average actually turned out to be 0.43% higher than 2019's re-ordering, even though I much prefer 2019 for music overall. There's 3 reasons for this really: first, The Greatest Showman tracks are no longer in the Top 100 & pulling down the average, second, there's still plenty of 2019 tracks in this chart which get high ratings for me (including my entire Top 3 and 8 of my 11 10/10s), and third, 2019 just had more music that I loved that didn't make the Top 100 and therefore didn't affect the average.

This year a very high 80 tracks managed to score a 7/10 or higher, up from 76 last year, and only 8 tracks fell below half score, which is actually the same amount that fell under last year! So yeah, 2020 was another good year for hit music, in my opinion!

Thanks for reading everyone! :D

Own it number 1 yessss

Yeah haha, I love it! It's my favourite song of 2019, but since it released so late into the year it only debuted on this year's Top 100. 'Location' drops 1 from last year's chart, but if Own It had been on that chart then the Top 2 would've been exactly the same, with Burna Boy featured on both haha.

Agree with most of this. No Time To Die would be 100/100 for me, and Circles 98/100. Yummy would be 12/100, and Looking For Me would be much higher up my chart. However, really can't fault this at all 😀 You spent so much time in doing this, I can tell. I hardly have any time to do a full reordering, so respect to you for doing this!

Thanks haha, yeah 'No Time To Die' and 'Circles' are both incredible songs so I'm not surprised at all to see then even higher up for you, even though they were both already very high for me! And it's definitely an unpopular opinion, but I actually don't mind 'Yummy'; it's nothing special and the lyrics are cringey, but I think the delivery and beat are both fine so it ends up with a decent score. My dislike for 'Looking For Me' is definitely another unpopular opinion so I can't at all fault it being much further up for you, the vocals on it just get on my nerves haha!

I swear No Time To Die is the song that has been served the biggest injustice. Only one week at number 1, kept falling after that week, only 63 in the EOY chart! For the best song of the year (imo), that is criminal

I saw that list! I agree with a lot of your choices & I was very pleased to see 'No Time To Die' as your absolute favourite, followed by 'Head & Heart' in second! :D

I honestly think Mariah might be in the Top 40 of next year's chart at this rate, haha. :)

Probably, maybe top 10 this decade :)

Crazy to see both 'Dance Monkey' & 'Someone You Loved' in the Top 10 for two years in a row! :O

The crazier thing is seeing Shotgun at 52! Three consecutive years in the top 60, that is something

The biggest shock for me was seeing 'Mr Brightside' higher in this year's list than last year's! :O

So many crossovers from 2019. Nevertheless, It's lovely. In the midst of all the turbulence 2020 had, there was still a lot good music to groove too.

I think everyone knew Blinding Lights would be #1 of the year even months before the year finished

Ikr?? Though I'm surprised Dance monkey is number 2

Yeah I expected it to be top 10 but not #2

Just shows how much sticking around in the top region of the chart matters in deciding this sort of stuff. Dance Monkey was nowhere near number 1 but was around in the top 40 for an absolute age, and that is why it is number 2

It's about the total numbers not position

Yeah, but position factors the numbers...

Finally, they are up! I guess it’s time for some awards then…

Song of the year - This was hard! I ended up shortlisting it to 5 songs, which were No Time to Die, Blinding Lights, Roses, Head & Heart and Lonely. I went with No Time to Die because Billie is just so good throughout the song! I honestly was lost when I had to decide this, so the fact that I came up with a winner is something in itself! Say So, Levitating, Mood, Break My Heart and Breaking Me were so close to the top 5 as well, so shoutout to those songs too.

Album of the year - Future Nostalgia. All day long. Too good an album for me not to put it number 1.

Artist of the year - Dua Lipa. A world-class album, compiled with great single choices, gave the award to Dua. The Weeknd was close, but Dua topped him because of album quality.

Best new artist of the year: Joel Corry. Three brilliant singles, including a fully-deserved number 1, are what made this year such a great one for Joel.

Disappointment of the year - Jason Derulo. Two songs summarise this: Savage Love and Take You Dancing. If he released more, better music then he would have redeemed himself but such a poor year from him.

Overachiever of the year - Lewis Capaldi. I’m sorry but two songs in the top 10 of the year, without releasing a single, notable single in 2020, is too much. I like Capaldi, but come on.

Underachiever of the year - Couldn’t think of one! Let me know if you have one that I have terribly forgotten.

OVERALL RATING OF 2020 (in terms of music that is): 9.5/10. Brilliant year, coming from an EDM fan. The quality of music that has come from the likes of The Weeknd, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish and many artists on the rise or not spoken about a lot (such as Tate McRae and Saint JHN) prove my rating. Not quite a 10/10 purely because of the fact that 2018 was a better year than this one in my opinion, but 2020 would easily be number 1 if 2018 didn’t exist.
