Top 20 Ranked: November 12, 2016

Spark_Of_Life Eh, I haven't tried a thing like this yet. Let's see how it goes.

AWFUL

20: Juju on Dat Beat
Another song(?) only popular from it's use in stupid dance videos. It's made by the usual no talent jerk who'll never be heard from again. Wait, didn't we have this last year with Nasty Freestyle?

19: Black Beatles
Nice Job, Rae Sremmurd. You made a song even more egotistical than No Type. At least Look Alive had good Instrumentals. This? KILL IT. KILL IT WITH FIRE. The only thing keeping this from dead last is that some actual work went into it, unlike Juju.

18: Gold
No talent. No good lyrics. No catchiness. It's just one big, clunking mess that barley manages to stagger through three minutes of torture before collapsing underneath it's own laziness.

BAD

17: I hate u I love u
Yawn. Whiny, whiny, whiny. Gnash sounds like he's crying and he curses for absolutely no reason. If it wasn't for the amazing Olivia O' Brian, this would be a hot mess with no redeemable qualities.

16: Treat You Better
No, Shawn. You can't make a song about "treating you better" when it's clear that she doesn't want to leave him. Gross.

MEH

15: Let Me Love You
Boring.

14: Cold Water
While this has gotten better since I first heard it two months ago, this is still very underwhelming. Justin sounds nasal, the drop sucks, and MØ is not in this as long as she should be.

13: Closer
MASSIVE overplay and blocking Starboy from the top spot has mad me kinda hate this song.

12: Don't Wanna Know
It's way better than most of the hot messes on "V", but it by NO means matches the quality of the songs in "Songs About Jane" or "Hands All Over".

Also, why is Kendrick even on this?

GOOD

11: The Greatest
It's not as good as Cheap Thrills, but it's a better follow up than I expected.

10: This is What You Came For
It's still repetitive, it's still semi boring, and it's still a guilty pleasure.

9: Broccoli
Honestly, this would be on the top five if it wasn't for Lil Yachty, whose out of place verse and completely unnecessary Columbine reference brings it crashing down to #9.

8: 24K Magic
It's grown on me, but it by no means matches up to "Locked Out of Heaven" or "When I Was Your Man".

7: Side to Side
I like this waaaay more than i should.

6: Cheap Thrills
Overplay has caused a slight downturn, but it still beats most stuff on the radio by a mile.

5: Starving
I also like this waaaay more than I should. It would probably go even higher if not for the garbage lyrics.

GREAT

4: Heathens
Dark, moody, and thematic. What a song.

3: Ride
I've already praised this to death. Just go listen to it. NOW.

2: Don't Let Me Down
This just gets better and better with every listen. In my humble opinion, this is one of the best songs of all time.

1: Starboy
If Closer clogs the top spot any longer, this won't be a #1 hit, which is a crime against humanity. Best song of 2016, and #1 song on this list.

Eh. Let's go back to 4X4.
