In the upper reaches of this list we may hit larger strings of songs that've already been played once (or twice), like Mitski's "Your Best American Girl", Car Seat Headrest's "Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales" and Grizzly Bear's "Yet Again"

Sharon Van Etten – Seventeen
In all seriousness when it comes to songs of 2019 for me this has to be up there
Angélique Kidjo – Afirika
Angélique Kidjo‘s Celia, a contemplation of Celia Cruz’s African roots, might be my favorite album of the year. Maybe I should’ve chosen a video of her singing “La Vida es un Carnaval” or “Bemba Colorá” or “Sahara” for this, but I wanted to showcase Kidjo’s interaction with her audience at her BBC Proms debut this year. I can’t help but smile every time I watch it. This music, this kind of performance draws hearts together. In the weeks to come, I think we could all use a good reason to smile together.
Charli XCX feat. Christine and the Queens – Gone
Everybody still likes Charli, right?
Haim – Summer Girl
I (seriously) hope I didn't miss anyone else dying in the last two days. Anyway, everybody still likes HAIM, right?
Clairo – Bags
Tame Impala – Borderline
Meghan Trainor – No Excuses
Jade Bird – Lottery
"Jade Wolf?" - nibbish
Carly Rae Jepsen – Now That I Found You
Everybody still likes CRJ, right?
