Surprised by how many of these I’ve heard tbh. Must be due to lurking on the pop bangers thread.

Heard about half of them. The ones I’ve heard range from good to excellent. So I am happy to endorse this list

Good list!

Lot of overlap with my own list there, which is enough to make me want to listen to the ones I haven’t heard before

Alright list

Feel like a lot of the tracks on there are quite retro / backwards looking e.g. the silk sonic one but maybe that’s just where popular music is right now

I haven’t heard any of them.

I forgot weather station was out this year. Great choice

Would have had Drivers License and the 10 minute All Too Well in there somewhere but not a bad list.

To be fair it’s not my thing but there’s no denying it’s a catchy, well written, well produced song.

It certainly is a Guardian list.

better list than i was expecting, that being said there’s about 8 tracks there that i’ve never heard. :slight_smile:

Think it gets harder and harder every year to make a list of pop songs that capture a year, and they do pretty well there.

Number one was obvious, wasn’t it. :smiley:

Chose the best Wolf Alice track which is good

Also obviously i love I Do This All The Time, but tbh Introvert feels like more of a song of the year contender to me

Glad to see Cassandra Jenkins there, Hard Drive is an incredible song.

I’ve played Silk Chiffon on LOT too
