[REVEAL] The Top 100 Tracks of 2020, according to r/popheads
A quick UPDATE to the original timing! Day 2 of the Contemporary R&B Rate overlaps with the originally planned reveal time of 5PM EST—the reveal will now be happening immediately after the rate!
Please support u/brenda_official by joining the plug.dj in advance and following the R&B rate too! Our estimated new start time for the Top 100 is 5:45PM EST (1 hr 45 mins from this thread being posted).
The full 100 songs will be playing on plug.dj non-stop here! 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!

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!

Very unpopular opinion apparently, buy I don't like XS. I find that song so annoying, I don't see what everyone else loves about it. But I do like many songs from SAWAYAMA, so I'm happy that a Rina song made it to the top!
And overall the list is pretty solid, I remain impressed with popheads taste. Great job everyone!

Rain On Me is pretty overrated, Gaga's older songs are much much better honestly

I don't care that it's a 100 gecs remix it's still fucking weird as hell to me to see Craig Owens popping up on popheads and in a positive way.

>25. Christine and the Queens — People, I’ve been sad
>26. Halsey — You Should Be Sad
This made me laugh to be honest.
I'm pretty surprised that Hayley William's highest song was Dead Horse. It was one of my least favourites from the album. Maybe the drama associated with it boosted it?

Adore You is too low on the list, and Physical doesn't even deserve to be in top 100 at all let alone #2 lol I think it so boring. I liked Comme Des Garcon more than XS so I'm surprised XS is #1 but is understandable. I'm surprised at WAP and Midnight Sky being in top 5 (rightfully deserved).
Nice to see pov by Ari so high. I forgot Halsey Manic happened and I should definitely check it out.
