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.

Volume 24.

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

Jaira Burns - Ugly [Music Video]

I bought this single. I paid money specifically for this track. I'm old school, I like to own the music I listen to. It doesn't happen often but I like to support up and coming artists. "Ugly" is about what happens when the attraction fades and the arguments begin. Some cool indie-pop with shades of reggae.
