List your best and worst music of 2019

[StrawberryBlond 14,916]

I'm doing this list very late this year, but various stuff just kept holding me back. As usual, I'll list the top 40 best and worst singles, plus the top 20 best and worst albums. Also, this year, I'm going to be adding it best and worst music videos and album covers. I'm pleased to say that this year is marginally better than mess of 2018 where I barely had any music that was above average. This was a much better year to chronicle and was a lot easier to compile the longer lists too. I actually had to make an honorable mentions list under best singles because there were so many painful cuts I had to make this time. All this is personal opinion and I encourage you all to do your own lists too.

So, without further ado, here's my best and worst music of 2019, in reverse order, ending with the best/worst (spoilered for length):

I can't post this because it's NSFW. Look it up if you dare. Beware, it might make you feel sick.

 

 

Thank you for reading all of this. I hope this informed you of some music that you didn't know existed. Do you agree or disagree? Make your own list!

 

[FfFfFfFF 56,282]

I agree on some things, on others not so much (for instance, Thank u next being a good album or Iggy's songs being good )

But it's obviously your opinion and you are completely entitled to share it.

I might revisit this later and compile lists using your format but so far I only have the top 30 I did last year.

The video was actually sick 

[huttont 5,379]

Putting Wasteland Baby! as one of the worst albums of the year is a crime!

[Ladle Ghoulash 26,706]

Omg Igor was so fckn good tho

[Guest]

Best Albums : 1. NFR by Lana, thank u, next by Ariana, Lover by Taylor Swift

[Jose P 23,341]

Only 2019 album I heard:

amo by Bring Me The Horizon

10/10 amazing album. Experimental and weird in an incredible way and blending genres seamlessly: electropop, electronic rock, pop rock, pop punk, alternative metal, trance, etc.

Highly recommended.

Only album of this year I heard lmao. But I’ll listen to NFR, Billie’s album, and Rammstein’s Untitled as well.

Unfortunately I don't know enough of the music scene and only listened to a couple albums, I think the Chris Brown - Indigo cover is really good though despite it being him

[Chic 20,830]

NFR was absolutely the best album of the year, periodT. I love this thread every year and look forward to it!

[Guillaume Hamon 6,536]

Worst song is Bieber's yummy imo.

For the best... I'll never love again by gaga!

[Oriane 21,145]

Same as Defmix100, I didn't listen to a lot of new music from 2019 !

The only albums from 2019 I listened to are :

- NFR : I liked it, I only listened to it once but there were some beautiful songs.
- Social Cues (Cage the Elephant) : It was okay, I prefered their other albums, this one sounded a bit different and probably not in a good way.
- WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? : I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either, I'm not a fan but it's fine.
