07.16.19 | will expand to top 50 later (* for new additions)

robertsona
07.16.19 | a fire list. funny that "realiti" and "everything is embarrassing" are both way better in their video renditions. I mean at least "realiti" is like different and not so bad on the album, they just made "everything is embarrassing" shitty on Ghost though |
Sinternet
07.16.19 | all of these are top notch |
Relinquished
07.16.19 | some good picks that'd be on mine |
NorthernSkylark
07.16.19 | I'm not in love!
God I love that chorus. |
mynameischan
07.16.19 | good list and especially like that #16 is here |
luci
07.16.19 | i've only ever jammed the video for "everything is embarrassing"... checking the ghost version rn and the background vocals suck |
robertsona
07.16.19 | they made it so that the higher harmony dominates in the chorus which makes it less melancholic and introspective and more SHITTY!!! |
luci
07.16.19 | "we can't stop" is so thematically aligned with after laughter. love a partying while depressed vibe |
mynameischan
07.16.19 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mjvfnUAfyo
my favorite version of "we can't stop" |
DoofDoof
07.16.19 | This really tempts me to do a top 40 in pop of the decade list - watch this space
Latch would make my selection too |
luci
07.16.19 | I saw your 4/5 rating for my #1... atleast there's something in my top ten you don't loathe! |
DoofDoof
07.16.19 | I wouldn’t say I loathe Kelela, Lorde or Sophie ;) |
Uzumaki
07.16.19 | Very refreshing list. |
luci
07.16.19 | "gee" might be the most furiously catchy song of all time. every single line is a hook |
Uzumaki
07.16.19 | I remember when that song hit the Oricon. It. Was. EVERYWHERE. |
Conmaniac
07.17.19 | luci vying for sowing's attention seems off tho |
Gyromania
07.17.19 | bump |
Gyromania
07.17.19 | interesting picks. we'll feature many of the same artists but i'll have different song choices for most of them... maybe not sophie. idk, "is it cold" is pretty untouchable imo but it isn't upbeat pop like immaterial, which is undoubtedly a 5/5 track. definitely agreed that realiti demo was better than the studio version. kind of a disappointment for me upon reflection. also i forgot how fucking good climax is |
Gyromania
07.17.19 | also cold war is the right choice from janelle. song is untouchable. overall a pretty great list |
luci
07.17.19 | these aren't my favs on the respective records (many songs I favor over "high horse" obv) |
luci
07.17.19 | carly has a bunch of 5/5 songs, might give the edge to "first time" as my overall fav. had to go with "run away with me" here though, that chorus is world-conquering |
Gyromania
07.17.19 | yeah i know, you were going for the poppier stuff (worth mentioning though that climax is more a depressive song than an upbeat one, albeit still catchy as hell) |
Sowing
07.17.19 | great list but where's hatchie |
Gyromania
07.17.19 | sowing blind =/ |
luci
07.17.19 | in the 5th spot ("stay with me" would be top 15) |
Sowing
07.17.19 | OK SO I DIDN'T KNOW SHE HAD AN EP
oops |
Archelirion
07.17.19 | Cold War, Run Away With Me, Leave a Trace and Rose Colored Boy [heart emoji] are all killer picks for sure
Haven't heard Dancing On My Own for yeeeeears now but I was kinda amazed that her Honey was as good as it was, something like 8 years on from her last stuff. Fuckin outstanding pop.
Also cheers for putting 40 as it reminded me of M.I.A. - Bad Girls and I've just spent the last four minutes grooving in my kitchen to that

Sowing
07.17.19 | accept this feature as an apology |
Gyromania
07.17.19 | gift from the gods! |
luci
07.17.19 | thx for the feature < 3
@Arch: Honey is one of my fav albums of the decade (love the title track even more than "Dancing On My Own"). It's not quite a pop record as she forgoes rise and fall and huge choruses in favor of atmospheres of feeling. She channels the appeal of ambient house and other minimal dance genres so well on that one, masterpiece. |
Slex
07.17.19 | Some damn great picks, really happy to see 4 so high |
luci
07.17.19 | gotta say grimes' "flesh without blood" would also make the top 10 ("genesis", "california," "butterfly" also top-tier pop) |
DamnVanne
07.17.19 | Pretty damn good list. If it was mine I would strike Miley and Icona Pop (cuz gross) and add JT’s Mirrors and Bruno’s Treasure. Then you got yourself a perfect list |
alamo
07.17.19 | your pop lists are always on point |
neekafat
07.17.19 | Some awesome picks, esp 35 |
Chambered79
07.18.19 | 11 is gr8 |
luci
07.18.19 | please check 28 chambered/everyone. an effortless j-pop beauty

Trundle
07.18.19 | 21 is my jam |
virpi
07.18.19 | "bad girls" is such a banger. |
Wildhoney
07.18.19 | No Charli or Marina makes me sad but awesome list anyway |
luci
07.18.19 | charli's "track 10" will make my song of the decade list but it's too art pop for this one
marina's hollywood is a banger, that's the only song i'd consider by her. dislike her vocals |
alamo
07.18.19 | didnt think it was humanly possible to dislike marina's vocals |
Yotimi
07.20.19 | 1 is prob my 1 too. |
Pangea
07.20.19 | Great picks |
Valzentia
07.20.19 | "didnt think it was humanly possible to dislike marina's vocals"
well here we are |
BlushfulHippocrene
07.21.19 | Was expecting 212 because I'm basic, but Anna Wintour is just as good and I should really check more Azealia. |
luci
07.21.19 | azealia put out three classic singles so far: 212, 1991 and anna wintour. chose the last cause it's the poppiest |
rellik009
12.08.19 | Ouch some of the picks on here are horrible, but most of them are excellent.
Can't wait to see your more underground pop list. Will it include genres like hypnagogic pop(so guys like t e l e pa t h)? |
Ryus
12.08.19 | i really, really despise 33 honestly |
rellik009
12.08.19 | Holy shit just remembered they had Rihanna in this "What is a good model?", and it was horribly grating. |
theBoneyKing
12.08.19 | Glad you chose the right Chvrches song
4 is probably pop SOTD for me |
luci
12.08.19 | expanded to 50 now that the decade is over, added an asterisk for the ten new additions |
Ryus
12.08.19 | i love 38 so much |
Tyler.
12.08.19 | 21 tbh |
luci
12.08.19 | fav pop song of the 00s: kylie minogue - love at first sight
fav pop song of the 90s: bjork - hyper-ballad
fav pop song of the 80s: madonna - into the groove
maybe i'll do lists for those decades sometime! |
Ryus
12.08.19 | into the groove is 80s big man but thats an amazing song agreed
prob my second fav madonna after borderline |
luci
12.08.19 | oops. guess i'll go with hyper-ballad for 90s
my second fave madonna is ray of light |
rabidfish
12.08.19 | ah man, i love that mondo grosso song. |
RolyPoly
12.08.19 | Die young is a 6/5 song |
