The Shortlist: Best Songs Of 2020

Wow, we somehow survived 2020. Let's all pat ourselves on the back for that. Reflecting on this year, I'd say it was so-so for music. Although there were certainly several artists who released some smashing successes, I can't say I was overwhelmed by many of the new releases in 2020. Everything was pretty average, nothing too terrible but not a ton rising to the top either. Therefore, I found it pretty easy to wrap up my year-end song list in a concise top ten (instead of my top fifteen like last year). I hope you enjoy my picks, and as always do let me know in the comments what your favorite songs of 2020 were. I look forward to next year and all of the great music that awaits us!

>Also, funny side note... I just realized my top two songs are off of albums with eerily similar album covers. Just the singer's face all beaten up. I guess that sums up this year pretty fittingly.


BEST SONGS OF 2020:




Habibi
Sevdaliza









After Hours
The Weeknd









the world is flat and this is the edge//
KennyHoopla









Breathe Deeper
Tame Impala









Modus
Joji









Physical
Dua Lipa









Genesis
Deftones
