Top 15 Songs of 2020

To be honest, 2020 was an exhausting year for everyone. However, one way to cope with stress and how I personally and a lot of others coped with the crushing doomsday that was 2020, was music.

Music is such a versatile thing. No matter how commonplace or snooty your taste in music may be, there will always be something for you out there. There are so many genres and styles and techniques that all people can have exactly the music they need to relax. For some, that may be energetic musicals like Hamilton, Heathers, or Beetlejuice. For others, it may be something like instrumental lofi.

Personally, a couple of my favorite songs of 2020 are “F2020” by Avenue Beat, “Twister” from the concept album for Willow, a musical made by Averno, and “Minefields” by Faouzia featuring John Legend.

If the year-end 2020 Billboard charts show anything, it’s that music was such a simple and easy thing that people could latch onto in the chaos of 2020.

Here’s the list of the top 15 songs of 2020 at the year’s end according to Billboard.

1.) “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd

2.) “Circles” by Post Malone

3.) “The Box” by Roddy Ricch

4.) “Don’t Start Now” by Dua Lipa

5.) “Rockstar” by DaBaby featuring Roddy Ricch

6.) “Adore You” by Harry Styles

7.) “Life Is Good” by Future featuring Drake

Some songs on this list may be very recognizable. Songs like Blinding Lights, Don’t Start Now, Adore You, Say So, Dance Monkey, and Circles are all on that list and all very recognizable. Overall, music was an amazing part of 2020, and I believe we got arguably legendary songs that people will be listening to for years to come.
