What were the best singles of the past year?
 
 
 
I've created a list that takes into account both streaming numbers from Spotify and user ratings from albumoftheyear.org (the number of ratings also played a role). I tried to include as much of the best rated singles (with a rating of 80 or higher) as possible, also from the year end lists and the most streamed songs. Again I was very strict and excluded all songs marked as 'explicit' (A&W unfortunately too) and certain genres (such as hip-hop, rap and metal), also songs that I generally did't like (there were only a few).
Here are the first 30 single songs of my list:
 

A&W and My Love Mine All Mine are definitely the top spots for me! 

Strange Overtones by David Byrne

- No. 1 in 10 countries including the UK, being Lana's best first-week sales in the country and also the fastest-selling album of the year
- Her best first-week streaming numbers ever
- Her third longest-charting album in the US, also extending her record as the artist with the most No. 1 Alternative albums
- 10th most streamed artist in the world
- 5 Grammy nominations
- 1 VMA win
- 3rd most acclaimed album of the year
- Most acclaimed song of the year
- Viral hit
 
Thank you Ocean Blvd for giving us one of Lana's best years ever

Chickens running barefeet 

When Lana sings 'palm trees in black and white' and 'cadillac convertible' her voice always reminded me of Dolores O'Riordan from The Cranberries

Bare Feet On Linoleum: Would the magnitude of the scale of the sculptures take the place of the warm embrace I've never got
 
Fingertips: Exotic places and people don't take the place of being your child 
 

You roll like thunder, you're tryna catch that wind
That lightning in the bottle, that moonbeam in your hand
And you try to see the bright side when each new day begins
But you're not satisfied at the rainbows end

I was absolutely obsessed with this back in 2017 

"The rumbling from distant shores sends me to sleep, but the facts of life, can sometimes make it hard to dream"
 
vs.
 
"Not to turn into a wildfire to light up your night, with only my smile and nothing that burns"

I am the economy 

i definitely feel like this year's grammy's is gonna be way more exciting than past years. so many amazing albums came out, tons of new artists, and possible lana cameo? uhg i can't wait 
not to mention the curveballs that got thrown last year with some of the categories. gives me hope 

imagine a surprise release of night time, my time: b-sides part 2 with pretty dull, one man show, swamp girl and wild at heart  a twink can dream

I just love her and miss her

Masochism is actually here, in concept. It's been delivered to us. We all practice it, daily, by coming into this thread, by entertaining the idea that the universe, and the atoms within, would even possibly vibrate into a position that could TANGENTIALLY spur this woman, and the people around her, to finish and publish any coherent and cohesive body of work.
 
She's delivered Masochism to us, just not in the way we wanted.
 
Now let us pray (for rain).

Ugh the harmonies during the last chorus of AMLD. It’s giving
 

not to sound ungrateful or anything but I already want new stuff like come onnnnn where's pretty dulllll
