- Machine Gun Kelly, “Bloody Valentine” Nope, it’s not the simulation going bad — Machine Gun Kelly did indeed release the best rock single of 2020. “Bloody Valentine” hushed any remaining doubts about MGK’s career pivot and eventually brought him to pop’s biggest stages, both figuratively (topping the Billboard 200 with his Tickets to My Downfall album) and literally (playing both the VMAs pre-show and the AMAs main show).
- beabadoobee, “Care” Carefully constructed but delivered with joyful relish, Beabadoobee’s “Care” is a piquant blast of ’90s alt-rock, finding the 20-year-old singer-songwriter brushing off someone’s performative sympathy and opting to find solace in a swirl of jangly guitars and Paisley tones.
- 24kGoldn feat. iann dior, “Mood” Call it rock, call it rap, call it pop — all true, and all insufficient at capturing the energy and jubilation that the opening guitar scrapes of “Mood” produced across seemingly every radio format in 2020.
- Phoebe Bridgers, “Kyoto” In a press statement upon the release of “Kyoto,” Phoebe Bridgers explained that the song is about “impostor syndrome” — about being in Japan, playing her music half a world from where it was conceived, and dissociating with that positive experience.

- 0171, “Follow” We might be living in 2020, but London duo 0171 is living in 3020; futuristic doesn’t begin to cover the sort of concoctions that Joe Bedell-Brill and Georgie Hoare have cooked up recently.
- Aly & AJ, “Attack of Panic” History will look kindly upon Aly & AJ’s impressive post-Disney output, which continued in 2020 with “Attack of Panic.” The slithering slice of electronica answered the question, “What would it sound like if Aly & AJ sounded like a cross between Nine Inch Nails and Grimes?”
- Ariana Grande, “Positions” In less than a decade, Ariana Grande has gone from hopeful hitmaker to unassailable purveyor of pop prowess, nailing the sound of the moment while pointing to the industry’s next step.
- Ava Max, “Kings & Queens” There is nothing subtle about this over-the-top power-pop dynamo, from chess metaphors to pounding electric guitars, and that’s just how Ava Max likes it.
- Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande, “Rain on Me” It’s common practice for music fans to dub different songs “the anthem” of a specific year. But in 2020 — a year defined (and constantly redefined) by how preternaturally awful things can actually get — one song in particular served as its saving grace.
- The Weeknd, “Blinding Lights” The numbers speak for themselves, don’t they? In addition to “Blinding Lights” ending up the No. 1 Hot 100 song of the year, the longstanding megahit has enjoyed record-setting stays in the chart’s top 5 and top 10 regions, as well as atop Billboard’s all-format Radio Songs airplay chart and Hot R&B Songs.
- Megan Thee Stallion feat. Beyoncé, “Savage” (Remix) “Savage” was a smash even before Megan Thee Stallion recruited hip-hop royalty for a remix. The song, which became a national obsession thanks to a raunchy dance challenge on TikTok, featured Meg at her most confident, clever and magnetic, layering sharp rhymes about her body, finances and game over a club-ready hook.
- Harry Styles, “Adore You” Harry Styles’ “Adore You” is one of those perfect pop gems that only arrives so often, and has to be played on repeat until someone in the household complains.
