The instrumentation (produced by her brother Finneas ) sets a dreamy, bittersweet atmosphere effortlessly, Billie delivers possibly her best performance behind the mic to date (with the possible exception of When The Party’s Over) and the lyrics about her relationship with her brother and the world at large are exceptionally well-written. The final cut from the list proper, Everything I Wanted is a song I’ve talked about a few times in past Top 20 Rankings, so I’ll keep it short. Honorable Mention: Everything I Wanted by Billie Eilish (Peak: #8, Year-End: #18) The reason it isn’t on the list proper is because I’m a bit sick of it (it only left the charts this week, and will likely re-enter at some point, at the very least because The Weeknd is doing the Super Bowl halftime show this year), but boy is this song deserving of its success. An obvious 80s throwback (particularly to Maniac by Michael Sembello and Take On Me by A-ha ), Blinding Lights has already secured its spot as a pop classic that will be remembered for decades to come. While Heartless (which was right on the line of being an Honorable Mention itself) may have been the lead single, this quickly overshadowed it, shattering the record for most weeks in the Top 10 (which has been set by Circles just a few months prior), and dominated to the extent that The Weeknd’s other singles (like In Your Eyes) were killed in the crib. Honorable Mention: Blinding Lights by The Weeknd (Peak: #1, Year-End: #1)īoy, isn’t this a predictable pick? Not only was it the biggest hit of the year, but it’s appeared on pretty much everyone’s Best of 2020 lists, and mine is no exception. We’ll see where his career goes, and if he’ll be able to follow it up, but this is a good start. The beat is both low-key and gets the point across, and Rod’s mix of singing and rapping is one of the better performances in that lane that I’ve heard in a good while. A Trap-R&B song, Rod Wave reflects upon his troubled past and tries to figure out whether to keep it on the low or be open about it (whether to keep his heart on ice or wear it on his sleeve).

This was a song that crept up on me while listening to the Year-End list, and ended up all the way up here as an Honorable Mention. Honorable Mention: Heart On Ice by Rod Wave (Peak: #25, Year-End: #51) The song is capped off with a quintessentially 80s saxophone solo, turning this into a song that I came back to quite a few times throughout the year. Sharing its title with a 1986 Peter Gabriel song, The Weeknd’s In Your Eyes is a throwback to that era of music, with a strong synth-driven groove and Abel’s crooning about his unwillingness to let his current relationship die (or at least that’s what I got out of it). I allow myself to include songs that peaked in the Top 40 but didn’t make the Year-End list as Honorable Mentions, and this year’s non-YE Honorable Mention is In Your Eyes by The Weeknd, which could’ve been a legit hit had it not been cannibalized by a song I will be talking about shortly. Honorable Mention: In Your Eyes by The Weeknd (Peak: #16, Year-End: N/A) So, with that said, how about we kiss this miserable year goodbye and count down the Top 10 Best Hit Songs of 2020, starting with the Honorable Mentions! There was a fair deal of variety on the charts, and some of the biggest hits of the year were also among the best of the year. Alright, for the last list of Season One of Gabingston’s Pop Reviews, it’s time to go over the Best Hit Songs of 2020! When it comes to the music that got big this year, 2020 was decent enough, although there have been better years for music within the past decade (2012 for example).
