Throwback Billboards Top 100 2021

  50 Ways to Celebrate New Year Traditions Around the World

Top songs are all pop and it seemed like a very pop year coming out of the shut down and all. Kinda very TikTok, simple cute catchy songs. wasn't attached to the music as much,

The Weeknd was cool because it felt different, olvias sorta too but maybe just cuz she felt like an avril cover artists with this song, even though her other stuff is just teen girl angst or sad girl music. 

a lot of these artists this year never blew up, christ brown already was established, same with Luke combs, ed Sheeran as well, Ariana as well, bieber too, 

Maybe only Olivia Rodrigo and Doja Cat are the only artists? glass animals, kid laroi, 24goldn, masked wolf not really.

these have to be my favorite of the year, not enough for top 10 but it was a million percent The Weeknd's year....post Malone feels like the next weeknd. 

and makes a million sense he has headlined every major festival, toured all the way up to stadiums and has done the Super Bowl halftime show. truly kinda wonder what his ceiling is. like producer or other artistic ventures like his acting stuff?

Billie I could see doing stadiums some day and MGK too sadly I think. He still feels like a young artists but has a lot of young die hard fans. 

don't love that he beefed with the OG guys in his genre seemingly purposefully and not like in an alternative fuck the system way but felt calculated for the bad boy press for the kids. 

feel like I am waiting for him to grown up as an artists cuz it feels like he is an older person singing about younger problems but also that's probably his fan base so who knowsssss. 

Ariana could for sure, not sure about halftime show, she might suffer from the Tylor swift of it all with being a pop girl in that fanbase. weirdly Olivia I could see becoming Taylor swift big and kinda do the halftime show as like a dua lipa persona. 

she also doesn't seem as passionate about singing as she used to which is okay since she is killing it with wicked and other acting stuff!
