SPIN: The 101 Best Songs of 2018 

82. LADY GAGA, "HAIR BODY FACE"

Forget “Why Did You Do That?” For all the chin-scratching that song provoked over whether it was supposed to be bad or was just… bad, the real center of Lady Gaga’s A Star is Born-inspired career-within-a-career is “Hair Body Face.” It’s basically Spotifycore, complete with a crisp, trap-lite rhythm and a brassy synth that Bebe Rexha would kill for, but that doesn’t mean it’s not indelible, too. “Wasn’t the it girl at school / No, I wasn’t queen at the prom / But don’t take me for a fool / Now I know I got my own charm” is the key couplet here, delivered in a bracing, character-driven whisper that shows Gaga’s acting chops are seeping back into her songwriting. The chorus is host to a classic slight subversion, the type that pop is built off of: “I’ve got the hair, body, face,” she sings. “For you.” By focusing on the anxiety of one’s confidence when it’s derived from the validation of others, “Hair Body Face” ends up smuggling the mission statement of A Star Is Born itself into its wig-flipping  trop-pop. — AUSTIN BROWN

Now enjoy your baptism.

Bonus: A certain US radio fad also made it to the list. 

61. LADY GAGA & BRADLEY COOPER, "SHALLOW"

Here’s a story: At my screening for A Star Is Born, a woman seated in front of me remarked to her friend, “I can’t wait for the haaAaaaAaaaaa part.” She was referring to “Shallow” and the scene in the film (and, importantly, the film’s trailer) in which Lady Gaga jumps on stage alongside Bradley Cooper’s unkempt cowboy country singer and belts the sound that helped launch a thousand memes. It’s a hilarious moment that’s easy to mock. However, in that darkened theater, what should be an embarrassing moment in a bad vanity project instead becomes an incredibly emotional payoff during one of best films of the year. Also, it is a good ****ing song, Cooper’s grizzled twang and Lady Gaga’s grandiose majesty making for a deeply engrossing ballad. It might not really work without knowing the movie, but it is a deeply rewarding listen for those who do. Just as long as you’re ready to dive off the deep end. — ISRAEL DARAMOLA

And people here still hate the pop bops with a passion

They wanted pop, got it, and then don't want it all of the sudden

Excuse you but the chorus is the best part and what makes the song. A full on POP CHORUS that goes all out and makes it an outright bop. Without that killer chorus the song wouldn't be as great as it is.
