The Top One Percenters Playlist Volume 29

The 29th iteration of the greatest playlist on earth

Every time I try to make one of these playlists, life gets in the way and then BOOM!, 3 months between playlists. Smh. I promise to be better and do these bi-monthly, if not more frequently. 

Volume 29 has 28 tracks. Some highlights:

-- Camila Cabello + DaBaby // My Oh My // This feels like the next single and you're probably going to hear it everywhere for the first 6 months of 2020

-- Harry Styles // Adore You // This record is so amazing. Could be record of the year

-- Tyga //Ayy Macarena // Tyga does nothing but drop hits ever since he split with Kylie

-- Miley Cyrus + Wuki // Mother's Daughter Remix // Been a staple of my workout playlists for months

-- TNGHT // Dollaz // This record gets me lit like "Sicko Mode" did

-- Burna Boy // My Money, My Baby // 2020 is the year Burna Boy blows up in America

-- Doja Cat // Bottom Bitch // This track samples Blink 182's "What's My Age Again" and I fucking love it. Her debut album, Hot Pink, is amazing. Highly recommend it

-- Tove Lo // Mateo // A stand out track from an incredible album. Check out Sunshine Kitty

-- Ariana Grande // Breathin' (live) // My favorite track of 2018 gets the live treatment

As always, volume 29 are the top 28 tracks. Previous entries are included further down in the playlist. Check out Vol 28 here.

The Top One Percenters Playlist Volume 28

This edition is a little supersized because it's been so long since I've made a playlist. Lot of artists that are new to me/I haven't posted about before (e.g. Megan Thee Stallion, Kim Petras, Lolo Zouaï), regular hitmakers (e.g. Ariana Grande, Sam Smith) artists who are back on the scene after a hiatus and/or music that didn't bop (e.g. Big Sean, French Montana, Iggy Azalea) and artists that are just making great, feel good music (e.g. Burna Boy, Spencer Ludwig, Sofi Tukker). 

As a reminder, the top 29 songs are new, the rest are from previous editions of the playlist. You can find the older playlists here. Take a listen and lmk your thoughts.

The Top One Percenters Mixtape Vol 23

It always takes me a bit of time to put these together, mostly because I'm super selective about the music I listen to and decide to share with other people. I generally got to fall in love with a track in order to share it because I feel like I'm putting my name on the line, even for something as simple as a song recommendation. Check out volume 23 (and every playlist before it). Some of the cuts (and reasoning) include:

• Ariana Grande (pronounced Grand-ee) - Breathin': In her come back from a terrorist attack at one of her concerts, she puts everything into her upcoming 3rd single. It's one of the most powerful, optimistic and incredible tracks I've heard in a long time
• Calvin Harris - Promises: This dude does nothing but make hit
• RL Grime - OMG ft. Chief Keef: Chief Keef has a second career making electronic dance music. He's got similar tracks with Alison Wonderland and NERVO
• Alison Wonderland - No: Singer, producer, DJ, writer - she just makes hits
• Jungle - Busy Earnin': Just makes you wanna dance
• 5 Seconds of Summer - Talk Fast: I wish I was 10 years younger when 1D was big. Boy bands are back in style
• Diane Birch - All The Love You Got: I get a little sad everytime I hear this track, but in a good way. The writing on this track is fucking incredible

Song of the Day: Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman

Ariana Grande is back with the super official first single from her upcoming 3rd album, Dangerous Woman. The track, a sultry throwback to your favorite 90s R&B, sees Grande stepping out from using JUST her powerful voice to build the song, something that's new for her. The slow building, guitar heavy track feels like a mature evolution for the 22-year-old, and the vibe, arrangement and instrumentation feels like of those Rihanna tracks everyone tries to emulate, except Grande sidesteps the emulation and creates her own thing.

I can only hope the Dangerous Woman album follows in the vibe of it's title track when it drops May 20th. Max Martin co-wrote and co-produced this, because obviously. See below for Larry David fucking up the intro to her SNL performance of the track.

The Top One Percenters Mixtape: Volume 19

Originally compiled December 2014. Hit the jump to hear the goods. I'll try to add Spotify/YouTube/Soundcloud playlists of all the songs moving forward

Song of the Day: Major Lazer ft. Ariana Grande - All My Love

So Lorde curated the new Hunger Games: Mockingjay soundtrack, and first of all, it's fucking fire. Secondly, one of the standout tracks is Major Lazer's "All My Love" featuring Ariana Grande. It's Major Lazer's trademark culturally-infused style with Ariana's falsetto overtop. Straight crack. 

The best track off Nicki Minaj's The Pinkprint album is "Truffle Butter" ft. Drake + Lil' Wanye

I'm not a fan of this album but I do fuck with "Truffle Butter" because it's what "Only" should have been — a posse cut without everyone trying to fuck Nicki ("Truffle Butter" samples "What They Say" by Maya Jane Coles.) I also fuck with "Get On Your Knees" with Ariana Grande which was, weirdly enough, co-written by Katy Perry. I'm guessing it's origin started as a track for Perry's Prism album.
