[QUALITY POST] The Top 100 Tracks of 2019, according to r/popheads
I'm now counting down the Top 100 Tracks of 2019, according to r/popheads. The reveal will be starting in exactly an hour from this post at 5PM EST! The full 100 songs will be playing on plug.dj non-stop, so join us there! It's gonna be a long night (about six hours or so), so pop in and out at any time you want, but make sure you're here for the big reveal of the Top 10.
After every 25 songs get played on the plug, I'll be posting the writeups for that quarter of the list (and lots of amazing people have helped with the writing, so please give them a read). You can read the list from the top here. It will be continually updating, and I will post links to each individual segment too.
Intro & Honorable Mentions | 100-76 | 75-51 | 50-26 | 25-1 | Full List | [Stats & Numbers (Coming Soon!)]
Thanks for coming, everyone!
Post-Rate Mortem
Thanks to everyone for sending their votes in, offering to write and coming along to the reveal and generally helping out! I hope you've enjoyed yet another year of our list extravaganza. Please, please take the time to read the writeups that people have done, they're all great! For those still doing writeups, I'll carry on updating the list with them whenever they come in, so don't worry! Once again, thanks all!

I hate to be that bitch but the “How Do You Sleep” write up misgenders Sam a lot and it’d probably be a good idea to fix the pronouns used

Ah sorry! This was pointed out to me during the reveal and I changed the Reddit comment but forgot to change it in the Medium list, thanks for the reminder! My editing wasn't too rigorous so a couple things slipped through.

many of Charli’s most effective moments, of which there are many, have come from her ability to match her robotic pop stylings to more vulnerable and human sentiments — and therefore take her place amongst the league of pop divas who have also channeled the power of dance music to invoke catharsis
I literally could not sum up charli's contribution to pop music better than this.

In My Head got 12 votes, but was one of several Ariana songs cut by the 3 per artist rule! I'll have full stats out along with a raw list without the 3 per artist rule in place at some point!

I'm fascinated to see the full list, I'm curious which of my votes that didn't make the list had other ppl supporting them & which ones I'm on my own with

*squeals* I was literally coming to the sub to get new music recommendations.
I've only recently been introduced to BTS (and now am quite enamoured) but aside from Taylor Swift, a bit of Halsey, a bit of Selena; I'm... a bit bored.
Thank you for this and always introducing me to GOOD music, or guilty pleasures. :D

Following up on my predictions, here's the top half and bottom half with my predictions in italics. Pretty happy overall, getting most of the top 10 within 5 places and an exact guess in Bad Guy. I got 66 out of the 100 which was just shy of my goal of 70.

Literally seeing Charli tomorrow, and I missed seeing Lizzo when she was in my area, so maybe that's a sign or something idk
