these top 10's from Billboard are always so absurd in retrospect. "Closer" always felt more prevalent than "Don't Let Me Down," even at the time. one thing I like about Adele is that her music always feels like it's existed far longer than it actually has. "Hello" does not feel like it came out between 6 and 7 years ago, but it's also implacable. could've dropped yesterday, could've dropped in 2012; and it would've felt right regardless (without necessarily feeling of these times, of course).

The fact that he came out and said these comments weren't funny makes them that much funnier when the fans just do it anyway out of spite

Yet 2016 gave us some of the best albums BlackStar R.I.P Bowie! A Moon Shaped Pool Radiohead Dangerous Woman Ariana

I was actually hype for this bc 2016 was probably my fav year of music releases ever. Idk how I expected that to be reflected in the top 10 now tho. Was expecting "Into You" to be up there for some reason and it blew my mind to look it up and see it was only 51st

[@zaiah9252]

Can’t stop the feeling, Hello and Love yourself are the only songs I would probably consider above C tier. Everything else is C tier or below

[@adimatondo284]

Can’t stop the feeling? Really

[@zaiah9252]

@@adimatondo284 yes. It’s probably the last great song I’ve heard form Justin Timberlake. Even Say something which is well made dosent have as much of an impact on me

[@f4gsforpele]

Love Yourself??? 💀 you can’t be serious

[@zaiah9252]

@@f4gsforpele I think loving yourself is a well-made love song guitar ballot that is easily Justin Bieber’s greatest achievement. It's a B-tier for me.

The piano riff from Closer is literally just the piano riff from “Over My Head (Cable Car)” by The Fray

[@aquestforthetruth1653]

It would be nice if you would include a snippet of each song because a lot of these I have a hard time remembering

[@kusogakirenfir]

I don't why or how, but I just never got tired of Closer. Something about it just seems so nostalgic to me, and always screams summer anthem. I could never bring myself to dislike it back then or to this day.

Got to raise an eyebrow at One Dance making it to D when Anthony put it on his top 15 worst songs of 2016 list

[@spongy2733]

I was surprised too. Looking back he probably thinks it’s not as bad as he thought it was.
