I haven't made use of this blog in a while. Not since May when I posted my end of decade music lists. I abandoned my weekly posts about the Billboard charts. If some people miss that, I apologize. It just came to a point where I wasn't enjoying it. But I've still followed the charts. I've just kept my thoughts to my personal social media pages when I had thoughts to give. And in weeks where there weren't any good songs or I didn't feel like giving thoughts, it was nice to simply do other things. But when it came to this particular year-end list of favorite songs, I had to bring back this blog and post it here because this is my favorite list to put together every year. Whereas I also posted my list of most popular song of 2020 and my list of favorite hit songs on my social media, I felt this list deserved better. The parameters here are that it had to debut on the Hot 100 in 2020. And it had to be a new song. So no "Blinding Lights." And no Christmas classics. Now given that I haven't expressed my thoughts as much this year, my choices for this list should come at more of a surprise, which makes this exciting. I'm giving my top 10, then I'll have honorable mentions below.
10- "No Time to Die" - Billie Eilish
9- "seven" - Taylor Swift
8- "Sofia" - Clairo
7- "Sour Candy" - Lady Gaga & BLACKPINK
6- "champagne problems" - Taylor Swift
5- "Fallin' (Adrenaline)" - Why Don't We
4- "Anyone" - Demi Lovato
3- "exile" - Taylor Swift featuring Bon Iver
2- "Kings & Queens" - Ava Max

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

12- "coney island" - Taylor Swift featuring The National
