Top Songs of 2019: 81-100



100. "Woman Oh Woman"
Harry Nilsson 
Losst and Founnd

In what has become the nostalgia/reissue spot, Nilsson's estate caps a renaissance year (thanks to several hundred plays of "Gotta Get Up" in Russian Doll) with an album of lost tracks.  
99. “Best for You” 
Blood Cultures
Oh Uncertainty! A Universe Despairs


98. “Might be Right” 
White Reaper
You Deserve Love 


97. “MONOPOLY (single)” 
Ariana Grande  & Victoria Monet

It may be the residual goodwill from all those "Santa Tell Me" plays over the holidays but this is Ms. Grande's first appearance on the list.   

96. “All My Friends Are Pretty” 
Sarah Jaffe 
SMUT 

We were introduced to Sarah Jaffe via the extremely offbeat (in a good way) 2018 movie Never Goin' Back
95. “Verona” 
Kligande
The Album

Yes, it is super derivative of "Jubel", but that may have been a top 30 song of the decade for us (underappreciated in its time at #9 in 2014). 

94. “Diane Mozart” 
Saint Motel
The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Vol. 1
93. “Telepathy” 
Jai Wolf
The Cure to Loneliness


92. “Bullet From a Gun” 
Skepta
Ignorance Is Bliss



91. “Betty Who”
Betty Who
Betty

The 80's start to kick in at the 1:06 mark and fully arrive at 1:26.  
 
 
90. “Apologize (single)” 
Grandson  

"I lose a bit of myself with every selfie / lose sleep over wealth, it's not healthy / finding a new religion on Yelp to come help me / praying to the label itself, 'Do not shelf me' "


89. “Rocket” 
Steve Mason
About the Light


88. “Burned By The Love (single)” 
Juke Ross

"Still the choir plays on / they ain't playing our song"




87. “Waterphone (single)” 
Seabear


The outfit behind on our top albums of the last decade (The Ghost That Carried us Away was #42 of the 2000s) returns after a 9-year absence with a new single. 


86. “Slip (single)” 
AMA 



85. “1972” 
Broken Social Scene
Let's Try the After (Vol. 1) - EP

 

84. “You'll Need a New Backseat Driver” 
The New Pornographers
In the Morse Code of the Brake Lights


Overall, ItMCotBL was a disappointing album from one of our favorites, but the album title (and song lyric here) is one of the best on 2019. 


83. “Down” 
Hemlock Ernst & Kenny Segal
Back at the House



82. “Thunderclouds” 
LSD
LABRINTH, SIA & DIPLO PRESENT... LSD



81. “Meet Me at the End of the World Again” 
Jesse Malin
Sunset Kids
