New Entry Reviews 

12. Airplanes - B.o. B., Hayley Williams 

One of the absolute biggest hits of 2010 and one that has recently become a meme. But anyway, I think this song really holds up. Sure I get why some people would dislike some of B.o.B.'s bars but I honestly don't care. His actual flow is great and Hayley's hook is incredible. The beat is also very good. I gave this an Honorable Mention on my best list and I stand by it. Great stuff!


23. Not Myself Tonight - Christina Augilera

I have conflicting thoughts on what I've heard from Christina Augilera. Anyway, how is this? Well it's definitely on the bad side. The beat sounds like a low rent 2000's Timbaland beat but far worse than most of those. The Way I Are this is not. Christina sounds decent during the verses but the chorus isn't good. Overall I just think this is kinda bad. 

90. Crazy Town - Jason Aldean

I really hate Jason Aldean. He has made some songs I despise such as You Make It Easy and Got What I Got and at his best his songs are just forgettable. And this song is pretty bad. Sounds like a combination of Big Green Tractor and Dirt Road Anthem, two songs I hate, and it doesn't work. Jason Aldean's voice is as annoying as ever, the lyrics are country cliches, and the production sucks. Bad stuff.


100. Water - Brad Paisley

This is a pretty decent country song with a good guitar line but nothing special. It's fine but I wouldn't ever seek it out. 


So yeah that was this week. Skipping Dishonorable and Honorable Mentions because there's only 4 debuts. Worst Of The Week goes to Crazy Town by Jason Aldean and Best Of The Week goes to Airplanes by B.o.B and Hayley Williams. 

Urtar Reviews signing out! I'll see you next time!

My Top 20 Favorite Hit Songs of 2023 Part 2 (10-1)

  10. Snooze - SZA I think recently SZA finally clicked for me. I haven't tested that yet by going back to her Ctrl era hits since my 2017 best list. Maybe it's just that I like her hits this year more than them, or maybe lately I've been busier and tired more often and more in the mood for downbeat R&B like this, but Kill Bill was one of the last cuts from the list, and Low would have been even higher if it was eligible. This song just did a good job calming me down through this stressful year. SZA's voice just sounds so comforting and smooth, the pitch shifting is fantastic and the beat is just upbeat enough to be catchy and for the song to have rhythm while also laid back enough to be calming. Before I listened to Low as a recommendation from my friends I considered this my favorite SZA song I'd heard, and between the songs I've heard it I actually want to listen to SOS at some point which I never thought I'd say. 9. Cruel Summer - Taylor Swift  Some

My Top 10 Least Favorite Hit Songs of 2020

  Hey everyone, it's Drake, known online as Urtar Reviews and today we are going over my least favorite hits of 2020. 2020 was obviously a horrible year for most of us in real life with the COVID-19 pandemic, the George Floyd incident and more, but how was it for music. Well, while I enjoyed the pop music scene of this year back when it was going on, for the most part, going back to this year in 2023, while it is certainly a more interesting year than 2022 or 2023 so far, there is a lot of stuff I hated from this year and while the good stuff does make up for it and still leave it a decent year overall, man do I hate the worst songs from this year. Everything happening in 2020 carried over to the pop music scene, leaving the year with a lot of downbeat depressing music, and while some of that is good, a lot of it was not if you ask me. Now starting with this list, I am going to be changing my eligibility rules for these lists. I have been working the last few years on posting hot 1
