I got so hyped when I saw Pulp's name on that list 🤩! Their return after 21 years was already a big deal, but "Spike Island" is giving me LIFE 💃! I mean, who wouldn't want to dance the night away to a disco-infused anthem? And can we talk about Jade's "Plastic Box"? That synth-heavy pop song is giving me all the feels 🤗. I love how it nods to classic Celtic music too - it just shows how talented Jade is at blending different styles. Addison Rae's "Headphones On" is another fave of mine 😊, and I'm so glad she gets some love for her catchy, upbeat track. And Lady Gaga's "Abracadabra"? Two Gagas in one song? Yes, please! 💖
 
omg these songs are everything!! i'm so stoked that Pulp is back with Spike Island - their disco vibes are giving me life 💃🏽! and I love how Jade's Plastic Box blends synth-pop with Celtic influences, it's like nothing i've ever heard before 🤯. Addison Rae's Headphones On is such a banger too, who wouldn't want to dance away their pain with that catchy beat? 😂 Lady Gaga killing the game as usual with Abracadabra - two Gagas is always a win in my book! 💖 Chappell Roan's The Subway is so cool, it's like she's having a party on your ears 🎉. and have you heard PinkPantheress's Illegal yet? that track is HYPED 🔥. these songs represent the diversity and creativity of music at its finest, can't wait to see what 2025 brings 🎶💫
 
😊 I think what's so cool about this list is how it highlights these incredibly talented artists who are pushing the boundaries of music. Like, Pulp's return after 21 years is already a major achievement, but adding that disco-infused anthem to the mix just shows they're not holding back and are still all about creating something special.

And I love how Jade's song incorporates Celtic music elements - it's like she's taking this classic sound and updating it in such a fresh way. And Addison Rae's 'Headphones On' is just so catchy! It's amazing how a simple concept like music being the solution to pain can be turned into something so upbeat and infectious.

I also have to give some props to Lady Gaga for her versatility - two Gagas, two house beats? That's just genius. And Chappell Roan's 'The Subway' is just masterful - it's like she's redefining genres left and right and still managing to make them sound cohesive.

But what really stands out to me is Rosalía's 'Berghain'. Like, this song is epic. The classical elements, the opera vocals... it's just so ambitious and well-executed. It shows that even when you're trying something entirely new, you can still create something truly special.
 
omg 21 years later and pulp is back like no one asked for it lol just kidding kinda i'm actually hyped they're doing disco though who else is gonna get a song on this list? also jade's music sounds so underrated i need to check out that celtic vibe ASAP
 
I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THESE SONGS!!! 🤩 THEY'RE ALL SO UNIQUE AND SPECIAL IN THEIR OWN WAYS! I MEAN, WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO HEAR A DISCO-INFUSED ANTHEM FROM PULP AFTER 21 YEARS?! AND LADY GAGA'S ABRACADABRA IS SUCH A GAME-CHANGER - TWO Gagas, TWO BEATS, IT'S LIKE MUSIC TO MY EARS!!! 🎶 BUT WHAT I LOVE MOST IS HOW THESE SONGS SHOWCASE THEIR CREATORS' TALENT FOR REINVENTING GENRES AND PUSHING BOUNDARIES. CHAPPELL ROAN'S THE SUBWAY IS LIKE A TIME-TRAVELING PARTY IN YOUR EAR! 🕺 AND ROSALÍA'S BERGHAIN IS THIS ELEGANT, CLASSICAL MEETS-EDGY-BASED MASTERPIECE... IT'S TRULY BREATH-TAKING!!! 🤯
 
I'm so hyped for these 13 tracks! 👏 They're all so fire! I mean, Pulp's comeback song is giving me LIFE 🎉, Jade's synth-heavy pop is everything 💔, and Lady Gaga's Abracadabra is just pure magic ✨. Addison Rae's Headphones On is literally the anthem of my generation 🤩. And have you heard PinkPantheress's Illegal? 😲 It's like a wild ride through sound! I love how these songs showcase so much diversity in style, but they're all still conveying such powerful emotions and messages ❤️. What do you think of Rosalía's Berghain? Is it your jam or what? 🎵 Can't wait to see more from these talented artists in the new year 🤞
 
Man, 13 songs that made it to the list? That's like finding 13 nuggets of gold in a bucket 🤣! Pulp making a comeback after 21 years? That's like me finally figuring out how to use my old laptop after all these years 😂. Jade's synth-heavy track got some Celtic vibes going on? I'm pretty sure that means they're secretly Irish now 👍.

And Lady Gaga being versatile? Girl, you've been doing that for years 🙌! Addison Rae's song about music being a cure-all? Sounds like my mom when she puts on her favorite album and starts dancing in the kitchen 🎶. PinkPantheress' weed dealer jam is just wild, man... I'm not sure if it's illegal or just really, really good 😜.

All jokes aside though, these songs really do showcase some amazing diversity in style and technique. And Rosalía's epic song? That girl's got skills for days 💪!
 
I gotta say, I'm not exactly thrilled about all this fuss over music being more "diverse" and whatnot 🤔. Don't get me wrong, there's definitely some solid tracks here - Pulp's comeback single is fire 🔥! But 13 songs, really? And they're all about how diverse and experimental the music scene is now... isn't that just a fancy way of saying "we've lost our way"? 🎵 I mean, what happened to good ol' fashioned songwriting skills? Don't get me wrong, some of these artists are talented, but can't we just appreciate their craft without all the extra baggage? 🙄
 
🙄 I'm so sick of these playlists that just make me feel like I've already heard everything before 😒. Like, "oh look, another disco anthem" 🎉. Can't we get some more experimental stuff? I mean, Pulp's comeback song is cool and all, but it's still just a 90s throwback. And don't even get me started on the fact that they're calling Jade's song about insecurity in relationships "Celtic music" 🤣 like that's even relevant to the track itself.

And what's with the whole "versatility" vibe from Lady Gaga? Like, I know she can do dance-pop and all, but this just feels like a PR stunt 📸. And have you noticed how every playlist is trying to make it sound like they're showcasing some kind of diversity in style and technique? Newsflash: if the first 5 songs on your list are all from different genres, maybe that's not so diverse after all 😒.
 
Ugh, this list is so predictable 🙄. I mean, sure, it's great that Pulp made a comeback and all, but 'Spike Island' being one of the top songs? It's just another nostalgic throwback for oldies like me 😒. And what's with all these disco-infused tracks? Can't they mix it up a bit? 🎶

And don't even get me started on the placement of Addison Rae's song 🤯, 'Headphones On' is literally just a viral TikTok video in music form... like, how did that even make the top 13? 💔 And Lady Gaga's 'Abracadabra' being two Gagas at once? Come on, it's just gimmicky marketing 📺.

I guess what I'm saying is, there are way better songs out this year than this list would suggest 😒.
 
Ugh, can't believe they left out Billie Eilish 🤯, her song "Ocean Eyes 2" was EVERYTHING last year and it's still so underrated! But I guess some of these songs are kinda cool... like Pulp's comeback single is fire 🔥, loved the disco vibes! And Rosalía's Berghain thingy is so innovative, that classical part though 💫. But Addison Rae's song sounds super basic, like something a 14-year-old would make on SoundCloud 📚. And what's with all these random historical references? Some songs are great and all, but can we just focus on the music for once?! The diversity in style is cool I guess, but some of it feels like they're trying way too hard to be trendy 🤪. Overall, decent list I suppose...
