I agree with React, Malibu, Take Yourself Home, All of the Feelings, Spotlight and XS - they deserved so much better, especially React

I pass the rest 

[Dirkje PronounsShe/her/hers]

I agree with 2, 4, 5 and 10

These tbh. They’re really good songs!  I need Victoria Monet to blow up in 2021.

Same, it's truly THE diamond of 2020, so polished and flawless 

[Battle For Your Life Pronounshe/him]

Spotlight and XS deserved better.

[Lorde Von Kok PronounsHe/Him]

 Smile  All of the Feelings  Spotlight  XS 

SZA and Timberlake collabed ?

[WildAmerican]

ugh Rina needs to have a Lizzo moment next year, her music is way too good for her to still be underground

[admin Pronounshe/him]

I only heard Spotlight the other day and was pretty shook by it.

[blue Pronounsshe/her]

First of all, it's not 2010. It's really disingenuous to call some of these songs flops.
