Top 20 songs of 2024 reviewed by yours truly

As a yearly tradition I review my most liked songs when Spotify Wrapped comes out. Since this year was full of bangers, I extend the list to 20 instead of 10. Rules:

One song per artist

Can only include song when the song itself came out this year (album doesn't count)

Enjoy and thanks if you read it through.

20. Windwaker - Tabula Rasa

This song took me by surprise and I have not nearly listened to this band enough. This song basically was unskippable for me the later half of the year with the rapping, the electro beats, the super catchy chorus or the high variety of screams. Also the song's title is an item name in my favorite game of all time helped a lot to keep this one in memory. Start this list with a clean slate.

19. Bad Omens X Poppy - V. A. N.

Violence Against Nature is a really unique song in a sense that even though the Bad Omens are playing the super industrial metalcore instrumentals, the vocals are provided none other than Poppy herself only. Some people would find the monotonous vocals really unsettling and boring, I think they are very charming in a weird way. The machine gun-like drums are just the cherry on top.

18. Nothing More - House on Sand (feat. Eric V of I Prevail)

This was also a song that I got addicted to in the latter half of the year. The guitars are very modern sounding and the verses kinda remind me of a Beastie Boys/RHCP kinda groove, I don't know why. It's a strange mixture that somehow works.

17. Green Day - Suzie Chapstick

Probably my favorite love song from this year that gives me strange warmth, especially 'cause I remember it coming out during wintertime and I always listened to it on the warm bus on the way to work. Very comforting song with a nostalgic hook, I would honestly even call it Whatsername 2.

16. Alpha Wolf - Sucks 2 Suck (feat. Ice-T)

This might be way lower than it should be but hear me out. The song is great, the Ice-T feature is a little questionable but the whole vibe of this "standing up against bullies" type of hardcore song is really speaking to me. I often caught myself listening to it in home office when someone pissed me off.

15. LANDMVRKS - Creature

What's a song that begins with french rapping then turns into a metalcore anthem with a really melodic chorus and great breakdowns? This song. I really can't say anything else about this other than it's a banger.

14. Sum 41 - Waiting On A Twist of Fate

I could have picked any single from Sum 41's last album and it would have fit. I chose this one because of the punk-ish nature, fast drums, screamy vocals just in good Sum 41 fashion. I'm sad that I won't be able to hear this band live again but I'm glad they went out on their own terms (also I kinda relate to that).

13. Boi What - Funeral of an Antihero

If there was a genre called I'm not okay-core, this song would be there along with Lost by BMTH. The similarities are crazy between these songs and the pacing, the melodies and even the vocal style is very similar (though this song has the Plankton AI filter over it). I got called out by my ex-girlfriend for liking literal Spongebobcore but hey, a good song is a good song.

12. Nightwish - The Day Of...

Apparently it's an unpopular take but I loooove this song. The key change in the last chorus with the choir singing and Floor's amazing vocals had me shook since I first heard it. Though I think Yesterwynde was a little underwhelming (the later half, the first half is pretty decent in my opinion), this song is well deservingly here on this list.

11. Billie Eilish - Birds of A Feather

A really chill pop song from a really chill pop album and a really chill pop artist. It's also adorable and dreamy and to be fair just a cute lovesong that gets stuck in your head. I only put this love song ahead of the Green Day one, because even though both singers are called Billie, this one made a more unique sounding song.

10. Bilmuri - TALKIN' 2 YOUR GHOST

I know, unexpectedly low for American Motor Sports being my AOTY, but I got into the Bilmuri hype really late this year. Johnny Frank's metalcore-country hybrid band did a great job with this song despite it being less than 3 minutes long. I can also relate to the meaning behind the lyrics, I just love the whole thing to be honest.

09. Sleep Theory - Stuck In My Head

Sleep Theory is a band that I rarely listen to but when I do, I binge a lot of their songs. They're very nu-metal adjacent modern metal/metalcore band that have a very good artistic direction and good sense of melody. Also in my opinion very underrated, I love their older EP Paper Hearts, as well as this song. And of course this one got stuck in my head all year, pun intended.

08. Spiritbox - Soft Spine

YOU ALL DESERVE EACH OTHER. This callout is probably the hardest of the year for me, the song is pure breakdowns and screams, being very faithful to Spiritbox' sound. I'm really looking forward to their new album. Similar to their song Cellar Door from last year, this one doesn't need any huge melodies or choruses either as long as the heaviness is there.

07. Ice Nine Kills - A Work of Art (feat. SHAVO)

Despite hating horror and gore, INK is one of my favorite bands right now. The melodic sensibilities of Spencer Charnas. musical genius of of the whole band, and the corny horror vibe that does not take itself very seriously always brings me to a good mood. For some reason the band got a lot of hate online for being "boring and cheesy" by most metalcore listeners and reviewers but I honestly cannot give less fucks about it. The breakdown with the clown noise just always makes me smile. A Work of Art is a banger (and the key change at the end is just perfect).

06. Knocked Loose - Suffocate (feat. Poppy)

I kind of lied at the beginning. Poppy is featured in multiple instances on this list, bringing her to my favorite artist for this year. Knocked Loose knocked it out of the park this year with their album, You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To, and even though I wasn't very keen on Bryan's vocals first, the pissed of vibe of the whole band got me through my worst days of this year. Her PR team must do a great job because wherever I looked this year I saw this girl who started out as a creepy internet sensation, making it to Jimmy Kimmel by screaming her lungs out and then releasing one of the biggest albums of 2024. Also the reggaeton breakdown got me jamming even though I absolutely despite the original genre. Great job, KL.

05. Poppy - they're all around us

Yeah... I know. I'm a liar. So the album of this unexpected banger came out on the same day as another anticipated album of mine, yet this song was still on repeat more times than that record as a whole. 2024 was undoubtedly Poppy's year for sure. Oh and about the song, well it's very angry, brutal at times, but still has a Britney chorus, do you want any more information?

04. twenty one pilots - Routines In The Night

A bit of a mood change as we get to my favorite pop song of the year, which is unexpected a little because all the singles from Clancy, the 2024 album of the band were very competitive. Routines In The Night got stuck in my head for days, and while I was trying to figure out why, I noticed that the melodies just like in the Billie Eilish song, were very comforting, but in a different way. It was more like meeting an old friend late at night because neither of you can sleep. Brought me back to the good old days.

03. Electric Callboy X BABYMETAL - RATATATA

Some unhinged commenters said that this collab is similar to WWII, since the germans and the japanese have united and dropped a bomb. While this might be a very dark joke, I think it's absolutely correct. Two of the most fun modern metal bands unite in this beautifully chaotic mess of a metalcore mixed with J-metal, I love this song so much and it always brings me to good mood.

02. Linkin Park - Two Faced

Welp. Linkin Park are back alright. Two Faced brought me back to the first time I listened to Hybrid Theory and Meteora in full. The breakdown, the rap parts, the screams, everything is perfect and I can honestly say I'm always fully immersed in nostalgia when playing this song. Sidenote: this was the only song this year that I always had to listen to twice because one time was never enough.

01. Bring Me The Horizon - n/A

Might be an unlikely pick but n/A was my most relatable song this year. Oli dealing with substance abuse and telling the story of his relapse, how he feels guilt over relapsing made me think of how much I fucked up this year. I could write a bunch of personal stuff here why I chose this as my song of the year but let me just say that the subject matter always hit very close to home, especially describing the intrusiveness of Oli's thoughts. I literally never skipped it, ever.

So these are all my favorite songs this year but of course the list could be even longer than this by at least 10-15 songs.
