- Harry Styles, “Watermelon Sugar” (dir. Bradley & Pablo) “This video is dedicated to touching: May 18, 2020.” Given the circumstances, the message that precedes the video for Harry Styles’ “Watermelon Sugar” could be seen as downright taunting: Styles no doubt already engages in physical contact beyond the average person’s wildest dreams in a normal year, but to release a video of him doing so on a beautiful beach somewhere at a time when most of us had to wear gloves just to accept a UPS package… “Sugar” could’ve easily struck a sour note.
- Future feat. Drake, “Life Is Good” (dir. Director X) Future and Drake, two of the biggest rappers in the world, opening the music video for a collaboration titled “Life Is Good” as… two garbagemen, grinning from ear to ear while loading bags of trash into the back of a truck?
- Cardi B feat. Megan Thee Stallion, “WAP” (dir. Colin Tilley) Welcome to WAP Manor! You’re a guest of The Lady B, I trust, or perhaps her co-host for this soiree, Madame Thee Stallion?
- Lady Gaga, “911” (dir. Tarsem Singh) The most conceptual video of the Chromatica era so far is a feat of COVID-era filmmaking — nothing about Gaga’s or director Tarsem Singh’s vision feels compromised by the realities of the pandemic.

- 0171, “Follow” We might be living in 2020, but London duo 0171 is living in 3020; futuristic doesn’t begin to cover the sort of concoctions that Joe Bedell-Brill and Georgie Hoare have cooked up recently.
- Aly & AJ, “Attack of Panic” History will look kindly upon Aly & AJ’s impressive post-Disney output, which continued in 2020 with “Attack of Panic.” The slithering slice of electronica answered the question, “What would it sound like if Aly & AJ sounded like a cross between Nine Inch Nails and Grimes?”
- Ariana Grande, “Positions” In less than a decade, Ariana Grande has gone from hopeful hitmaker to unassailable purveyor of pop prowess, nailing the sound of the moment while pointing to the industry’s next step.
- Ava Max, “Kings & Queens” There is nothing subtle about this over-the-top power-pop dynamo, from chess metaphors to pounding electric guitars, and that’s just how Ava Max likes it.

- Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande, “Rain on Me” It’s common practice for music fans to dub different songs “the anthem” of a specific year. But in 2020 — a year defined (and constantly redefined) by how preternaturally awful things can actually get — one song in particular served as its saving grace.
- The Weeknd, “Blinding Lights” The numbers speak for themselves, don’t they? In addition to “Blinding Lights” ending up the No. 1 Hot 100 song of the year, the longstanding megahit has enjoyed record-setting stays in the chart’s top 5 and top 10 regions, as well as atop Billboard’s all-format Radio Songs airplay chart and Hot R&B Songs.
- Megan Thee Stallion feat. Beyoncé, “Savage” (Remix) “Savage” was a smash even before Megan Thee Stallion recruited hip-hop royalty for a remix. The song, which became a national obsession thanks to a raunchy dance challenge on TikTok, featured Meg at her most confident, clever and magnetic, layering sharp rhymes about her body, finances and game over a club-ready hook.
- Harry Styles, “Adore You” Harry Styles’ “Adore You” is one of those perfect pop gems that only arrives so often, and has to be played on repeat until someone in the household complains.
