100. "t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l (feat. Travis Barker" - WILLOW
Travis Barker has been slowly rebuilding Pop-punk — a storyline to watch this decade — and his newest partner is none other than Willow Smith. WILLOW traverses genres effortlessly and gives us a simple yet powerful track strong enough to make the list.
99. "2 You" - Mariah the Scientist
Atlanta's up-and-coming R&B singer was poised to have a monstrous 2020 before the global pandemic. Instead, she returned to work, releasing RY RY WORLD in July. What separates Mariah from other R&B singers is her vision, combining future noises with modern feels.
98. "Show U Off" - Brent Faiyaz
The Maryland swooner continued an impressive 2020 with a collection of loose singles and remarkable features. The singer whose music often displays Future-like toxicity shifted gears with "Show U Off," and went towards apologetic appraisal.
97. "MMMOOOAAAAYAYA" - illuminati hotties
"I'm so sad I can't do laundry." Sarah Tudzin's illuminati hotties find joy in the weirdness. Each jab of the guitar and off-the-wall lyric throws listeners on a chaotic journey; one worth revisiting.
