50. "Disease" Lady Gaga - the song came out on October 25th and Spotify cuts off its metrics a week or two into November, so that gives some indication of how much I've had this track on repeat
49. "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" - R.E.M.
48. "'90s Baby" JT
47. "You're So Impatient" Pixies
46. "The Simpsons Theme" Green Day
45. "Father Figure" George Michael - Destiel playlist
44. "All Star Kansayasai" Onnen, Juicy JJ
42. "American Idiot" Green Day. You know why.
41. "Love Buzz" Nirvana
40. "Loverboy" Billy Ocean - I heard this song randomly in a CVS drug store and I thought, yes, that was a pretty good song from my childhood. So I listened to it some more.
Written by Billy Ocean, Keith Diamond, and Robert "Mutt" Lange, this song masterfully combines '80s synthpop with soul. It's really well-crafted, from the back-up singers' "oooh-waahs" to the galloping bassline.
Also the video is giving Lando Calrissian and I love that for it.
Mutt Lange is Shania Twain's ex-husband. This recent podcast episode dives deep into the careers of two Canadian pop stars, Twain and Celine Dion.
39. "Till the World Ends" Britney Spears
38. "Batman, Wolfman, Frankenstein or Dracula" The Diamonds - Halloween playlist. Note that there was also a LVCRFT cover that came out this year.
37. "Heart Shaped Box" Nirvana
36. "Wish I Knew You" The Revivalists
35. "Celebrity Skin" Hole - yeah, the original is lots better than the Doja Cat version. I'm a walking study in demonology; don't change the lyrics on me
34. "Ava Gardner" Superknova
33. "I'm On Fire" Bruce Springsteen
32. "Baby One More Time (from Kung Fu Panda 4)" Tenacious D
31. "Ava Adore (Remix)" The Smashing Pumpkins
