- ABBA, "Don't Shut Me Down" One of the year’s most gratifying LP releases was ABBA’s Voyage comeback set, a delightfully low-stakes set of shimmering pop confections with precious little imprint from the 40 years that had passed since the pop legends’ previous album.
- Lana Del Rey, 'White Dress' The opener for the first of her two 2021 albums, Chemtrails Over the Country Club, “White Dress” sets a vivid, dynamic first scene for the otherwise lukewarm LP, with all the drama fans have come to expect from Lana Del Rey.
- Pronoun, "I Wanna Die But I Can't ('Coz I Gotta Keep Living)" “I Wanna Die But I Can’t” functions as both a scream-along anthem about stunted emotional growth, and proof as to why Pronoun leader Alyse Vellturo needs to be playing bigger stages — who wouldn’t want to lose their mind to this chorus in an arena?

- The Weeknd & Ariana Grande, “Save Your Tears” (Remix) When The Weeknd turned to the sounds and vibes of the ’80s for his After Hours set, it’s almost like he knew he’d be promoting this album’s undying radio smashes for damn near as long as superstars used to work hit material back in the day.
- Dua Lipa feat. DaBaby, “Levitating” “Levitating” is the gift that just keeps on giving. Five months after the original version first hand-clapped its way into our hearts on Future Nostalgia in late March 2020, Dua Lipa revitalized the disco-fueled dance track with a new verse from DaBaby.
