I may not have posted in a while, but I wouldn’t miss out on my Top Songs of 2018! This year was pretty decent for music, not as good as 2017, but anything is better than 2016!
In the past it has been Top 10, and last year it expanded to Top 20!
The list rules are simple enough: It must come out in 2018, and it’s usually limited to one song per artist, so I gotta break it down sometimes and pick favorites!
And as always, these are entirely my choices, and no other logic is brought into it.
19. Love Lies by Khalid and Normani
I’ve been so into your mystery
Is it because of our history?
Are you into me?
When it feels so good, but it’s bad for you
Can’t say I don’t want it ’cause I know I do
Come on over, I need your company
Cravin’ that synergy
18. Say Something by Justin Timberlake feat. Chris Stapleton
Everybody says, “say something that says something”
I don’t wanna get caught, up in the rhythm of it
But I can’t help myself, no, I can’t help myself, no, no
Caught up in the middle of it
Caught up in the rhythm of it
17. Close To Me by Ellie Goulding and Diplo feat. Swae Lee
And I don’t wanna be somebody without your body
Close to me
And if it wasn’t you, I wouldn’t want anybody
Close to me
16. High Horse by Kacey Musgrave
‘Cause everyone knows someone who kills the buzz
Every time they open up their mouth
Yeah, everyone knows someone who knows someone
Who thinks they’re cooler than everybody else
15. Don’t Leave Me Alone by David Guetta feat. Anne-Marie
I don’t wanna call and you not answer
Never see your face light up my phone
Never see you singing “Tiny Dancer”
Everytime my head hurts, everytime I’m low
‘Cause I don’t know if I would be alive today
With or without you like night and day
Everything about you uncomplicated
Here with you, everyday is a Saturday
14. Blow That Smoke by Major Lazer feat. Tove Lo
I got the keys to Heaven now
Baes all around and they got my mind spinning
Suddenly doors just open wide
Doors open wide
Blow that smoke and let me love that fire
I don’t need no memories
13. This Is America by Childish Gambino
The most powerful music video of the year propelled this song onto the list.
This is America
Don’t catch you slippin’ now
Look what I’m whippin’ now
12. Babe by Sugarland feat. Taylor Swift
You really blew this,
We ain’t gettin’ through this one,
How could you do this,
This is the last time, I’ll ever call you babe
11. High Hopes by Panic! at the Disco
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn’t make a killing
Didn’t have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn’t know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
10. Solo by Clean Bandit feat. Demi Lovato
I wanna f-woop, woop woop, but I’m broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry, but I like to party
T-t-touch, but I got nobody
Here on my own
I wanna f-woop, woop woop, but I’m broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry since the day we parted
T-t-touch, but I got nobody
So I do it solo
9. The Champion by Carrie Underwood feat. Ludacris
I am invincible, unbreakable
Unstoppable, unshakeable
They knock me down, I get up again
I am the champion, you’re gon’ know my name
You can’t hurt me now, I can’t feel the pain
I was made for this, yeah, I was born to win
I am the champion
8. Back To You by Selena Gomez
I wanna hold you when I’m not supposed to
When I’m lyin’ close to someone else
You’re stuck in my head and I can’t get you out of it
If I could do it all again, I know I’d go back to you
7. This Feeling by The Chainsmokers feat. Kelsea Ballerini
They tell me think with my head, not that thing in my chest
They got their hands at my neck this time
But you’re the one that I want, and if that’s really so wrong
Then they don’t know what this feeling is like
6. I’m A Mess by Bebe Rexha
I’m a mess, I’m a loser
I’m a hater, I’m a user
I’m a mess for your love, it ain’t new
I’m obsessed, I’m embarrassed
I don’t trust no one around us
I’m a mess for your love, it ain’t new
5. Hunger by Florence + The Machine
And it’s Friday night and it’s kicking in
In that pink dress, they’re gonna crucify me
Oh and you in all your vibrant youth
How could anything bad ever happen to you?
You make a fool of death with your beauty
And for a moment
4. The Middle by Zedd feat. Maren Morris
Happy Now came in a close second for Zedd
Oh baby, why don’t you just meet me in the middle?
I’m losing my mind just a little
So why don’t you just meet me in the middle?
In the middle
3. Without Me by Halsey
I said I’d catch you if you fall
And if they laugh, then f**k ’em all
And then I got you off your knees
Put you right back on your feet
Just so you could take advantage of me
2. Body Talks by The Struts feat. Kesha
You can be cool, you can be shy
Say what you want, say what you like
‘Cause ooh, your body talks, your body talks
Ooh-ooh, your body talks
You can pretend you don’t wanna know
But I read the signs from your head to your toes
Yeah, you don’t need to say a word ’cause
Ooh, ooh your body talks
1. No Tears Left To Cry by Ariana Grande
Right now, I’m in a state of mind
I wanna be in like all the time
Ain’t got no tears left to cry
So I’m pickin’ it up,
I’m lovin’, I’m livin’, I’m pickin’ it up
Oh, I just want you to come with me
We’re on another mentality
Ain’t got no tears left to cry
So I’m pickin’ it up
Aviously
