It's actually not about what you think it is - a little sadly - and man, I wish I liked that album more. But this was legit great, I'll take it. From Frank Turner, 'Ceasefire'! 🎧 www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRIh... - ThreadSky

It's actually not about what you think it is - a little sadly - and man, I wish I liked that album more. But this was legit great, I'll take it.

From Frank Turner, 'Ceasefire'! 🎧 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRIhhQ9rfQ4&pp=ygUWZnJhbmsgdHVybmVyIGNlYXNlZmlyZQ%3D%3D

There is so much subtle, lived-in texture to what is painted here, from the Springsteen reference to a specific clatter of pool balls at precisely the right time.

From Zach Bryan, the title track of 'The Great American Bar Scene'! 🎧 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDsK6q10Y1k&pp=ygUcdGhlIGdyZWF0IGFtZXJpY2FuIGJhciBzY2VuZQ%3D%3D

Utterly devastating country folk song, and one that can hit close to home if you know anyone in that space.

From Willi Carlisle, 'When The Pills Wear Off' 🎧 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__qqQuiG1zI&pp=ygUmd2hlbiB0aGUgcGlsbHMgd2VhciBvZmYgd2lsbGkgY2FybGlzbGU%3D

They keep finding ways to surprise me, and this was some truly beautiful pop trap and a cool collab as well.

From @2icofficial.bsky.social, featuring DBLE_T and @fullyinvolvedmark.bsky.social, 'TO THE SKIES'! 🎧 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCrWx-omYG0&pp=ygUQMmljIHRvIHRoZSBza2llcw%3D%3D

One of the most understated and deeply funny rap songs of this year - found him on Bandcamp, definitely deserves more attention.

With production from The Expert, from @nahreally.bsky.social , 'Smarter Than I Am'! 🎧 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-iGxxPKseQ&pp=ygURc21hcnRlciB0aGFuIGkgYW0%3D

...sometimes you need to acknowledge the event that kicked off the violence this year, that also happens to kick so much ass!

From Megan Thee Stallion, 'HISS'! 🎧 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVgCLQ_JQfU&pp=ygUEaGlzcw%3D%3D

Alright, resuming the list here... and you know, sometimes a great ballad sticks the landing (Brandi Carlisle tends to help with that).

So yeah, from Jacob Collier featuring Brandi Carlisle, 'Little Blue'! 🎧 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2zLSkhANSY&pp=ygUZbGl0dGxlIGJsdWUgamFjb2IgY29sbGllcg%3D%3D

LETS GOOOOOOO!!!! One of her best ever songs, and continuing the now 5 year streak of having a #1 hit on the Top 100 list :)

Are these in any particular order? I feel like usually you number them and it’s easier to keep track of how many there are

ayy thank you, Mark!!

YOOOOOOOOOOOO

i straight up forgot to finish this album, but this was definitely a stand out of the two thirds that i did hear :D

:( I was hoping this would make the list proper, one of my favorite songs of the year
