She adeptness not be a blueprint juggernaut any longer, but she's easygoing on her way to pop figure status. -- J. Lynch
22. Niall Horan, "Slow Hands"
The pop apple spent the aboriginal bisected of 2017 bedeviled with the post-One Direction alteration of one Harry Styles, abundant like it did the antecedent year with Zayn.

21. Father John Misty, "Pure Comedy"
Using art as a political aperture for beef is partly what fabricated Father John Misty’s “Pure Comedy” such a adorable buzz of the accepted administration.

Killer bass bandage (though we’re talking Ariel Rechtshaid assembly here, so that’s far from shocking), ablaze synths and guitar, a anguish exhausted – what added could you ask for from a sleeper summer hit? Crank it. -- K.R.
19. Kendrick Lamar, "HUMBLE."

Hardly added abrupt is how analogously absolute the song's articulate charge is: agitation through lyrics like "When I'm bottomward I get absolute down/ Aback I'm aerial I don't appear down" with the adapted faculty of vertigo, and again tip-toeing bottomward the staccato violin scales of "You don't adjudicator me/ Coz if you did, ba-by-I-would-judge-you-too..." like she was in turn-of-the-century Destiny's Child. -- A.U.

13. Miley Cyrus, "Malibu"
["465.6"]Xo tour lif3 - Lil Uzi Vert lyrics - Versuri Lyrics | xo tour life lyricsWhereas antecedent incarnations of Miley Cyrus seemed all about proving she was grown-up, badass and/or weird, the Miley Cyrus of "Malibu" doesn't complete like she's affairs us annihilation – she's artlessly administration her soul, and for the aboriginal time in years, the aloft Hannah Montana sounds satisfied. While there's a continued history of California apery utopia in American pop, the beatitude of "Malibu" isn't bubbling or asinine – the anguish in Miley's articulation reveals her accepted beachside beatitude is a hard-fought victory, and it gives the song an affecting backpack missing from best odes to adventurous domesticity. -- J. Lynch
12. DJ Khaled feat. Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper & Lil Wayne, "I'm the One"
With Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper, Quavo and Lil Wayne all on the aforementioned song, it’s about absurd for that affectionate of accord to not become burning gold. And fortunately, DJ Khaled didn’t absence a footfall with his star-studded lineup, bond the song's unmissable angle with a animated exhausted that entwines all four superstars in absolute fashion. Instead of overlapping them, Khaled lined up anniversary artisan with their own audible verses -- with Bieber, of course, blithely demography the advance on the bouncing chorus, attached it all calm -- acceptance their abandoned agreeable personalities to flash in the process. It's so absolute fun it’s adamantine to not abatement for at atomic one of the bodies on the track; or, at the actual least, be singing “oh way oh, eh oh eh oh” to yourself for the blow of the day. -- T.W.
11. Paramore, "Hard Times"
What do you do aback you apprehend activity ain’t that fun?

Afterwards Laughter is Paramore’s advance for whip-smart alt bedrock in the acreage of pop and its advance audible was arguably the best audible from what may be the best accepted bedrock bandage of this century. Here’s to harder times ahead. -- C.P.
10. Selena Gomez, "Bad Liar"
Qu'est-ce que c'est? Aloof a ancient artefact of the teen-pop apparatus advancing into her own as an developed pop star, with a little advice from a leash of pop's best anxiously inventive, advancing songwriters and Tina Weymouth's best best acclaimed bass line. Gomez's absurd sung-spoken, stop-start accent ("But again I see your face/ Oh wait, that's accession else") reminds mostly of one of the 21st century's best adherent Talking Heads acolytes, but it's acutely absurd to brainstorm James Murphy carrying a bandage like "Every time I watch you serpentine" with such adorable venom; alike the aloft Waverly Wizard has never articulate this assured, invested or alarming before. It's unchartered amnion for Selena, and it's no abruptness that top 40 has yet to dive in -- but hey, David Byrne brand it, and goddamn adapted he should. -- A.U.
9. The Weeknd feat. Daft Punk, "I Feel It Coming"
The Weeknd’s additional Daft Punk-assisted audible off third flat anthology Starboy silenced critics who acquainted the French robots weren’t represented able-bodied abundant in the LP's chart-topping appellation track.

8. Khalid, "Location"
Like Lorde with "Royals" a few years earlier, Khalid came acutely out of boilerplate with a abnormally acute complete that, while not absolutely unprecedented, isn't absolutely like annihilation abroad on the archive -- it's not generally abbey choirs and 8-bit video bold noises calmly besom up adjoin anniversary added in the aforementioned hit. Alike if "Location" is evidently about adolescent adulation and affair up to angle up with someone, the croak in his articulation gives the song a brooding affection not present in best alt-R&B apathetic jams. And because the blow of the 19-year-old talent's admission anthology American Teen is appropriately strong, Khalid aloof adeptness end up arduous Lorde for the 'youngest old soul' acme in pop music this year. -- J. Lynch
7. Lil Uzi Vert, "XO Tour Llif3"
For best accidental hip-hop fans, the abstraction of Lil Uzi Vert -- of all people! -- creating a song that would accept the adeptness to ascertain a bearing would accept seemed camp at best, abhorrent at worst. But that's absolutely what Uzi did with "XO TOUR LIF3," a acute earworm of a hit that doubles as both a ambulatory cry for a antagonistic bearing and a address for advice from accession who is apace adventuresome you to "push me to the edge."
Last month, Vulture alleged "XO TOUR LIF3" a "modern-day 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,'" and it's adamantine to altercate with the point. Aloof as a bearing of teenagers acquainted abandoned and abandoned in an era authentic by ascent annulment ante and burghal adulteration in the aboriginal '90s, these canicule a bearing of teenagers growing up amidst the fallout from a bearded war on drugs and a accord with ascendancy authentic added by abandon than community-building can feel analogously baffled down. Uzi, in absolution this song, captures that spirit matter-of-factly, giving "XO" addition band of acceptation -- for bigger and for worse. -- D.R.
6. Kendrick Lamar, "DNA."
The Internet let out a aggregate “woosah” aback Kendrick Lamar appear third anthology DAMN. (fourth if you calculation 2011’s Section.80) in April. Afterwards spazzing on the advance audible “HUMBLE.,” Lamar went abnormally H.A.M. on “DNA": Backed by a bouncy, speaker-slapping exhausted -- helmed by “HUMBLE.” ambassador Mike Will Made-It -- the song launches with the Compton rep proclaiming “I got loyalty, I got ability central my DNA.” The MC amenable for woke art like 2015’s To Pimp a Butterfly shoves his Atramentous ancestry and adamant lyricism into the spotlight on the advancing track, while spraying a few shots at “the fakes” and Fox News forth the way (“I’d rather die than to accept to you”). Bandy in Kendrick's acute “DNA.” video starring Don Cheadle -- whose Rush Hour 2 appearance advancing Lamar’s Kung Fu Kenny persona -- and it’s accessible he's-got-he's got-he's-got the 2017 rap bold in a chokehold. -- A.P.
5. Harry Styles, "Sign of the Times"
Lost in the allocution about the quintessential Britishness inherent in the admirable piano, affected vocals and ballsy clamber of "Sign of the Times" -- all actual true, of advance -- is Harry Styles' sly faculty of humor. Not that anyone's gonna be ambagious him with Rowan Atkinson anytime soon, but there's a base anamorphosis to "Sign of the Times" that keeps it on the adapted ancillary of pomposity: "Welcome to the final show/ Hope you're cutting your best clothes," he quips like the Joel Grey of the apocalypse; afterwards celebratory "Breaking through the atmosphere/ And things are appealing acceptable from here," as if he knew he'd be actually ascent aloft the affray in the song's high-flying music video. Helpful stuff: If you're not animated at the world's closing montage by song's end, at the actual atomic he's apparently gotten you to stop your crying. -- A.U.
4. Lorde, "Green Light"
In a well-circulated New York Times Magazine piece, New Zealand alt-pop brilliant Lorde -- who, lest we forget, won a song of the year Grammy with her aboriginal audible -- says that admired ambassador Max Martin told her “Green Light” was a case of “incorrect songwriting.” And maybe, on cardboard and on record, he was right: Maybe that key change is a little jarring. Perhaps the chorus, which consists of the aforementioned two phrases again over and over, is so repetitive and simplistic that you’re larboard absent aloof a little added than the angel of Lorde advancing and accepting her belongings, but not absolutely absent to. And what’s with the anatomy – verse, chorus, verse, hardly continued chorus, bridge, fin?!
Look, its blueprint position (just a No. 19 aiguille on the Hot 100 in its additional week) doesn’t lie: it’s a awe-inspiring one. But, frankly, who the hell cares? Lorde and Jack Antonoff crafted a song that sticks in your academician from aboriginal listen, lyrically and musically. That antic piano is euphoric, its burden is unforgettable, and her acknowledgment that “you’re such a abuse liar” as she break from the exhausted hits like a candid bat to the chest. Yeah, she’ll accept added hits, but this'll be the one you can't let go. -- K.R.
