Billboard Top 20 Ranking (April 1st, 2017)

You broke my heart 2017. You fucking broke it.

I was very positive towards this year. I wanted to love it after the mediocrity and blandness of 2016. I'm still hopeful, since it's only been 4 months, but the current state of the charts right now is NOT good. The good stuff recently fell off, the bad stuff is somehow lingering, and future hits are NOT looking promising (as opposed to Future hits, which aren't looking too bad actually). I'm not looking forward to this ranking, but fuck it let's do it anyways.

So Good - Zara Larrson (ALBUM REVIEW)

Now here's an artist I've been looking forward to. Zara Larsson is a UK sweetheart that has had pretty large success worldwide (minus the US because lol of course) and has managed to make some solid music throughout. After massive success with tracks like Lush Life, her feature on Girls Like, both tracks I loved, she decided to finally throw together a debut album. The promotional tracks for this album I loved. The poppy and solid I Would Like, the even greater So Good featuring my boy Ty Dolla, and the horrific train wreck that was Aint My Fault, which may have sucked sure, but it showed me that this album had potential. She wasn't going to be one of those MANY female pop stars who have 1 interesting single pop off, then create 9 other tracks of straight filler. Aint My Fault was a trainwreck, which showed that not only was it possible, but that she was WILLING to make a trainwreck, try new ideas and sounds, which I fucking love. The features seemed pretty self explanatory for what most pop stars do: 1 rapper who you otherwise wouldn't expect (Ty Dolla $ign), the 1 feature that everyone expected from miles away (Clean Bandit), and the 1 oddball pick (Wizkid, like seriously what the fuck). Nonetheless, I was fucking hyped for this album, the debut of a great pop starlet with a promising career. So, how'd this come out?

If you pay attention to my Twitter at all (which I presume most of you do), you would know I am fucking starved for songs to review. Most of the songs worth a damn are already in the top 20 as we speak, so I might as well save them for my Billboard Top 20 review in a couple of weeks. But I've been even more starved for a GOOD song review, because yes, I do in fact like music sometimes. I wanted something that I like, but people didn't *know* I particularly liked. Anytime I've said "I have no idea what the fuck to review", someone always replies with Location by Khalid. But you all know I fucking love that song, so why the fuck would I review it?

So, I caved in. I chose the Ariana single, off an album I really enjoyed. I remember loving this song months ago when I heard the album, so how is it now?

Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2014

I liked 2014 music more than most people seemed to, but I get why it's a generally disliked year for the most part. Pop music seemed so much...slower than usual. The charts were stagnant as fuck, causing songs you'd NEVER think had a shot of hitting the YE somehow getting onto it (Did anyone even know Studio by Schoolboy Q existed before the 2014 YE?). And that reflected the actual music as well. All the songs seemed pretty lifeless. Each No. 1 we got was boring nonsense, and the fun songs were few and far between. So, it's time for the worst of them. And unlike most years, the Canadian YE was actually a LOT different from the US one, so expect to see quite a few songs from the frigid North show up here. Speaking of shitty Canadian hits, lets start this shit already. The Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2014!
