Billboard Radio Songs top ten hits of 2020

i think a good number of stations barely played anything this year that *wasn't* on this list. judging by how long things stuck around on the airplay charts, if your city's top 40 wasn't terrified of dropping "blinding lights," "don't stop now," "adore you," and post malone's "circles" from power rotation for months on end, it was one of the outliers. pretty sad, really

i don't understand how an "alternative pop" format with broader playlists haven't emerged yet.

This is a really good idea.

levitating #1. box #2

Want to vote “Intentions” because “Get the ring just like Toronto” is such a hilariously bad lyric. But the best song here is “Don’t Start Now” pretty easily.

I’ve only heard two of these songs (Megan and DaBaby)

there's also this UK charts-based poll (courtesy of Camaraderie at Arms Length) for your consideration:

Top Five Hits in the UK 2020

(it's on ILE, so many of you might have missed it. your chance to vote for your favourite AJ Tracey track!)

Went with Don't Start Now over Blinding Lights. The Dua Lipa, Weeknd, and Doja Cat songs were the only things I had heard before on this list. I haven't been much of a radio listener this year and just know those because they got a lot of rotation at the skating rink.

Giving a second listen-through now to see if anything else sticks. Hot Girl Bummer is pretty fucking funny.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

i was going to feel embarrassed for calling it "don't stop now" upthread but now that it's won the poll i won't

ironically i corrected someone making the same mistake earlier this year (irl not here)

which of y’all jokesters voted for blackbear?

lol "hot girl bummer" and "dynamite" getting as many votes as "blinding lights" and "blueberry faygo" ;_;

Follow-up to a post of mine from just above, where I was trying to identify a few 2020 hits I hated. Identified another one that I've been hearing for months--it's Canadian, though, it didn't chart in the States (some previous singles of his did): Felix Cartal's "Mine."
