80. “Déjà Vu” 

SOAK
Grim Town

79. “Higher Love (single)” 

Kygo & Whitney Houston

We generally know the music world pretty well but Steve Winwood and Jackson Browne are two names we've always heard without being able to name a single song. This year covers of each singer appear on the list.  

78. “You” 

MARINA 

LOVE + FEAR

77. “Good Side (single)” 

Liz Phair

...

76. “Limitless” 

Sudan Archives

Athena

75. “Hand Mouth Dancer” 

Pond
Tasmania

Weird video of the year nominee number 1. 

74. “Mess” 

Noah Kahan

Busyhead

Technically, 89 will only get you as far as Concord, which would also work syllabically.

73. “Juice” 

Lizzo
Cuz I Love You

72. “Black Cadillac (single)” 

Mondo Cozmo

Very Velvets

71. “The Elephant” 

B.O.B.
Southmatic

Misogynistic as fuck, but that "Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob" is a heck of an earworm.  

70. “Life Must Go On (single)” 

Quinn XCII

We non-ironically like the guys music, but everything about Quin XCII seems a bit on-the-nose. Listen to his music and it is no surprise that sharing your student ID gets you a merch discount on his website. 

69. “True Blue (feat. Angel Olsen)” 

Mark Ronson
Late Night Feelings 

68. “My Way” 

Alana D.
Isn't It Romantic (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 

67. “Wisconsin Wedding” 

Bombadil
Beautiful Country

66. “Western Stars” 

Bruce Springsteen
Western Stars 

65. “Destiny” 

Burna Boy

African Giant 

Though Damini Ogulu falls lower on the song list this year than 2018, African Giant (one of two LPs he released this year) would be a top 20 album for the year.  

64. “To Noise Making (Sing)” 

Hozier
Wasteland, Baby! 

It is unclear if Hozier still gives student ID discounts. 

63. “Riding Solo (single)” 

Hinds

Hinds has been singing in English for several years now but their pronunciation is still endearingly (intentionally?) weird.

62. “Can I Go On” 

Sleater-Kinney

The Center Won't Hold

61. “Started Out (single)” 

Georgia

Official album release on Jan 10 may offer the first additions to the 2020 list.
