Move all night with the personal top picks of the year 2020, a year of the health crisis, short-form video-sharing social media dance challenges, and work-from-home playlists. #move2020 #songsoftheyear #twentytwenty
9. WAP – Cardi B ft. Megan Thee Stallion (September & December 2020 Top Pick) A rap bop with a popular TikTok dance. The more I read the polarizing critical reviews, the more I appreciate the song.
8. Savage Remix – Megan Thee Stallion ft. Beyoncé Don’t be confused when you also see the original “Savage” version at number 26. I first heard the solo release through TikTok videos before this equally good remix.
7. Sunday Best – Surfaces Its first line perfectly describes the song: “Feeling good, like I should”.
6. Imahe – Magnus Haven (Top Philippine Song) The alternative rock band’s song released in 2018 is the most-streamed song based on Spotify Philippines’ Wrapped 2020.
5. ROXANNE – Arizona Zervas The pop-rap track became the first unsigned and fully independent artist to top the Spotify chart since the beginning of 2017.
4. Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat) – Jawsh 685 x Jason Derulo (June 2020 Top Pick) The track entirely built off a sample of New Zealand music producer Jawsh 685‘s viral success “Laxed (Siren Beat)“.
2. Say So – Doja Cat (April 2020 Top Pick) It’s the funk and disco element that makes this one of the best songs that became viral in TikTok.
1. Dance Monkey – Tones and I (January 2020 Top Pick) This was already the biggest song in Tones and I (born Toni Watson)’s hometown Australia in 2019. Then it became a commercial success outside the country the year after.
