Notes:
- All songs sent in between TSC 226 to 264 are eligible
- This is based on my personal opinion - I mean there's a reason it's MY LIST. Please do not take any offense from what I think of. Strictly my own thoughts
- Contrary to some weird belief, I don't believe that my music taste is better than anyone else's, although I have no idea if it's useful to post that because every year there are some idiots crying about their songs not being appreciated enough. This list is for you all to have some fun and laugh at possible comments I make.
- I also include some of my own entries, but don't worry, I'm not that arrogant to have more than 10 entries about myself
Karmin has done something unbelievable in 2016 - they became the first act to go from being #1 in the previous year to appearing on the worst of list in the following year thanks to the horrid turd called "Acapella." It's okay, though, they had a great song in TSC as well. Sugar suffers from a rather passive chorus, but verses here really steal the show for me. The production is pretty subtle, although not as presented distinctly as in their 2015 #1 "Didn't Know You," which is probably another reason why there are 39 other songs ahead of this tune.
This song almost didn't appear in TSC, mainly because Alexito was an hour late sending this entry in. I was feeling very nice during that contest - it was the last week before I went to travel to East Asia. I honestly would have been gutted not to discover this great upbeat tune - you can just listen to it yourself and you will understand why this brilliant energetic tune won a contest.
Everyone in TSC has been masturbating to the incredibly overrated "Carry The Throne" while the general public has been brainwashed to enjoy a rather basic "All Time Low." "Guillotine" shits all over the former 2 singles mainly due to the complex structure of the verses and the chorus. This song is more unique than the other two combined, and I'm glad that this quirkiness got a positive reception in the TSC community.
37. Birdy - Keeping Your Head Up - #ricktworick1, TSC228, 1st, 179 pts
Except for "Wings," her solo material has been full of shitty slow-paced pop songs that would never stand a chance of appearing on my playlist. However, what I noticed about this single is the fact that it's ACTUALLY UPBEAT, some sort of an unknown territory for Birdy and maybe she should stay in that - it's her best solo song by a substantial margin. It's a pity that just a few months later she'd go back to another zzzzzzzzzzzzz that "Wild Horses" undoubtedly was.
Pleasantly surprised that Guillotine made it this high on your list. I massively overplayed it for a while, so it lost some traction for me, but listening to it now for the first time in a while made me remember how good it is.
