1. Cornelia Street-Taylor Swift: This song is the story of a relationship and how Taylor is terrified of the relationship possibly ending because the heartbreak that would come from the end of this relationship is one she fears she would never get over if it happened. This songs music and sing sounds great as well.
2. Death By A Thousand Cuts-Taylor Swift: This song is about how hard walking a relationship can be when one becomes so entangled with their partner and how the ending of the relationship feels like a death by a thousand cuts. This song of course sounds great like almost every other song on the album.
3. Paper Rings-Taylor Swift: This is a very happy love song about loving someone so much that you wouldn't mind marrying them with paper rings because what's important is that your together not how fancy the things around you are. This song is one of the happiest sounding ones I've ever heard and that shows in the production and the singing.
4. Afterglow-Taylor Swift: This song is about Taylor apologizing for blaming her lover for all the problems in their relationship and admitting that she let her insecurities get to her and she blamed her lover for things he never even did. This song is one that has a soft and dreamy feel to it that I really love.
5. Boyfriend-Ariana Grande Feat. Social House: This song is about an unhealthy non-relationship where neither party wants to be in a relationship with each other but will be furious if they hook up with anyone else. This song also sounds really good even though Ariana is clearly a much better singer than the Social House guys.
6. Slide Away-Miley Cyrus: This song is about mourning an end of a relationship even though it's clear to her that the relationship is one that hasn't been working for awhile and that it's time to move on. This song has somber dreamy tone that just makes this song one that I want to listen to over and over again.
7. I Think He Knows-Taylor Swift: This song is about how at a beginning of a relationship where Taylor sings about how she doesn't have to tell the guy how much she likes him because she's pretty sure that he can tell by the way she acts around him. This song as a really fun and playful sound to it that makes it a delight to listen.
8. Small Talk-Katy Perry: This is a song about running into an ex long enough after a break up that it isn't painful experience but it still awkward because they are now stuck making small talk with each other like they're strangers even though used to know everything about each other. The song as an interesting premise and it sounds really good as well.
9. Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince-Taylor Swift: This song is one that I used like a lot more when I first heard it than I do now but it's still a good job. I think this song works fairly well as dramatic love story set in high school but I think it doesn't work that all that well as a political allergy if I think about the song's story in that constant it feels confused and this is big reason why I don't like this song as much as I once did. The song still sounds really nice and I really like the title for the song.
10. Right Back-Khalid: This song seems to be about being okay with a relationship developing slowly and I also just really like the way in which the song sounds.

Top Songs that Hit the Billboard Hot 100 in July of 2019
1. Blow-Ed Sheeran Feat. Chris Stapleton and Bruno Mars: This song is a rock style one about sex that just sounds really great and different from most everything else that charts. All three singers sound great on this song despite rock not being their primary genre that they preform in.
2. The Archer-Taylor Swift: This song is about Taylor allowing herself to be vulnerable with her partner even though the thought of doing so terrifies because of the way all of her other relationships have ended. I really love the lyrics for this song which really allows you to feel where Taylor's coming from and shows how much opening up to someone and having them see her true self scares her, I also like the hunter and prey metaphors she uses in the song as well. This song is a bit slower moving but it also sounds really beautiful and dreamlike because of this.
3. Antisocial-Ed Sheeran Feat. Travis Scott: This song is about being anti social while out and about with not wanting to really talk to anyone and wanting everyone to keep their distance from you. This song is one that also has pretty interesting production that I think fits the song really well with how it kind of puts everything at a distance.
4.Higher Love-Kygo and Whitney Houston: This song is basically just a Whitney Houston cover of Higher Love with a dance remix production provide by Kygo but since Whitney Houston was a fantastic singer this song really works and the production does a good job complimenting her vocals.
5. South of the Border-Ed Sheeran Feat. Camila Cabello and Cardi B: This song is a Latin style one about seeing someone that you are instantly attracted to and wanting to hook up with him. This song is one that I think just sounds really good which makes it a good listen despite a few awkward lyrics.
6. Girl-Maren Morris: This song seems to be about girl dealing with insecurities and being told that everything will be alright in the end. This song is a country when which I think suits Maren Morris' voice really well and I like the strings in the song as well.
7. Southbound-Carrie Underwood: This song seems to mostly be about southern stereotypes but I Still really like it because Carrie Underwood as a fantastic voice and the production is fun.
8. Talk-Khalid: This song is about the singer just wanting to talk to his partner about where their relationship is heading because he's more in love than he's ever been before. I like the production of this song and I like that Khalid spends the song in his higher voice which I personally like more than his lower voice.
9. Press-Cardi B: This is a song that deals with Cardi B's relationship with the press and I found it be interesting although I like it less and less as time goes on which is why it's so low on the list.
10. Cool-The Jonas Brothers: This song is one that I like just because I like the way that it sounds even though I'm not quite sure what it's about.

Top 10 Songs that Hit the Billboard Hot 100 in June 2019
1. Summer Days-Martin Garrix Feat. Macklemore and Patrick Stump: This song seems to be about a hook up that happened during the summer and the lyrics somehow manage not sound demeaning which seems pretty rare in a song about this subject. I think that Patrick Stump's singing sounds excellent and I enjoyed Macklemore's rapping as well and I think that production that Martin Garrix made was a great fit for this song which is a fun summer song.
2. Mother's Daughter-Miley Cyrus: This song seems to be about Miley proclaiming herself to be the villain and her saying that is due to her mother's influence that she is the way that she is the way she is. I really like how this song's lyrics have a lot about freedom and power sung about in it's lyrics, I especially like how she calls herself a witch at one point. This song's production is one that has a dark edge to it and I think Miley sells that in the rest of the song as well.
3. Senorita-Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes: This song seems to be about a pair of almost lovers who seem to be in a friends with benefits relationship in this Latin flavor song. Both the singers sound great on this song and the two of them have a good amount of chemistry on this song which is something that greatly benefits this song.
4. Never Really Over-Katy Perry: This song seems to be about an on again off again relationship that never really ends up ending. This song is one that just sounds really good Katy Perry sounds fantastic on this song and I think the production on this song sounds pretty fun as well.
5. Trampoline-SHAED: This song is one I'm a bit unclear what it's about other then the singers been having dreams and her singing about how they make her feel. This song is one that has this sleepy dream like feel to it that really makes it an experience to listen to and I especially like the way whistles are added into the song towards the end of the song it just adds something extra to an already good song.
6. You Need to Calm Down-Taylor Swift: This song feels like it's two different songs that were put together with one half the song being about people spreading hate on social media and the second half is about supporting gay rights neither of this topics are bad things to write songs about it doesn't feel like the two ideas belong in the same song together. Despite this songs flaws I still enjoy because it's so catchy and it gets stuck in my head all the time, the song has fun production and Taylor sounds great on it.
7. Truth Hurts-Lizzo: This song is about Lizzo telling a guy that she's doing so much better now that she's no longer in a relationship with him and has moved on to better things. I think that Lizzo attitude really sells this song with her confidence shining through the whole song. Lizzo and her production sounds great on this song which is something that really makes this song so fun to listen to.
8. Only Human-The Jonas Brothers: This song is about going out for a night on the town and going home with someone. This song is mostly just a fun song that one can dance to which is something that works well enough for me.
9. Easier-5 Seconds of Summer: This song seems to be about contemplating whether it would be easier to stay in this relationship or stay in the relationship when it's clear that neither side is willing to change. I think that song sounds pretty good even though it's nowhere near as good as Youngblood by the same band.
10. Call You Mine-The Chainsmokers Feat. Bebe Rexha: This song is about some kind of romantic relationship that develops in this song. This song is one that I don't think has particularly interesting production but since I really like Bebe Rexha's voice I still ended up putting it on my list despite nothing else about the song really standing out.
2. Mother's Daughter-Miley Cyrus: This song seems to be about Miley proclaiming herself to be the villain and her saying that is due to her mother's influence that she is the way that she is the way she is. I really like how this song's lyrics have a lot about freedom and power sung about in it's lyrics, I especially like how she calls herself a witch at one point.

Top 10 Songs that hit the Billboard Hot 100 in April 2019
1. Me!-Taylor Swift feat. Brendon Urie: This song is a bubblegum pop song by two of my favorite artists that I just love to listen to because it's just really fun to listen to. This song is a love song that is more about self love than any romantic relationship. This song is one that I find cheesy in a fun way rather than an embarrassing way even though it comes close couple of times with lyrics like Spelling is fun or You can't spell awesome without me but I feel like Taylor and Brendon deliver them with just the right attitude that is comes off kind of charming and silly rather than embarrassing.
2. Bad Guy- Billie Eilish: This song in which declares herself to be the bad guy is quite fun and different than most pop songs. This song is more playful with just a little edge of darkness unlike some of Billie's other songs such as Bury a Friend. The song takes a darker turn towards the end of the song which I think just adds a little more to the song.
3. You Should See Me in a Crown- Billie Eilish: This song has a very dark forbidding mood to it and I feel like the production for this song works really well with what sounds like a blade being scrapped against stone on the verses and the drop that happens during the chorus which makes Billie sound like someone who is powerful and dangerous. The whole song being about Billie telling us how we should see her in a crown works really well with her sounding like a threat during the verses and downright dangerous during the chorus all without really raising her voice is something I found really impressive and enjoyable.
4. Kill This Love- BLACKPINK: This song is about ending love once it because unhealthy and makes you miserable. This song unsurprisingly has amazing production which is something that is to be expected for K-pop songs, the production is one that goes through both anger and soft phases but it always full of life and is great to dance to. The girls do an excellent job singing and rapping on this song as well.
5. Ocean Eyes-Billie Eilish: This song is a really pretty song that sounds a lot lighter and sweeter than most of Billie's newer songs but she sounds just as good in this style as in her darker songs. This song is a love song about her falling for a guy because his ocean eyes that she can't get out of her head although there is a bitter edge to the song with how she sings about how the guy really knows how to make her cry.
6. Hey Look Ma, I Made It-Panic! at the Disco: This song is basically the cynical, sarcastic and lyrically interesting version of High Hopes and it also has better production in my opinion. The production in this song goes to the background during the verses allowing Brendon's voice to shine and during the chorus when the horns come in it sounds like a sarcastic celebration which works perfectly with what the song is about. Lyrics like Cause I'm a hooker selling songs/and my pimp's a record label and Friends are happy for me/Or they're honey-suckle phonies/Then they celebrate my medals/Or they wanna take my trophies are ones that stick in your head and make the song more interesting to listen to.
7. All Good Girls Go to Hell-Billie Eilish: I'm not entirely sure what this song is about but I find it to be really interesting lyrically with how she sings about how all good girls go to Hell because everyone has enemies, I also feel like there is something there about embracing your dark side because of this but I'm not entirely sure if that was intended or just the vibe that I was getting from the song personally. I also really like the production on the song and the way that Billie was singing it gave off a dark cynical side which really suited the song.
8. My Strange Addiction-Billie Eilish: I feel like this song works much better than it has any right to, it has audio clips from The Office that somehow end up fitting in with the song. The song is about how Billie finds her art(her music) to be her strange addiction that she is unsure of if anyone else will understand. The production that feels like it's always building to something works really well on this song as well.
9. Boy With Luv- BTS feat. Halsey: This song is just really nice sounding pop song about love that is done really well. The production is great as it always is for K-pop songs and the boys sound great singing on the song and Halsey sounds good on the song as well even though it's clear that she's only on this song so that it does better international it still works for the song itself.
10. Xanny-Billie Eilish: This song is a sad one that is about how the people around Billie are intoxicated on either drugs or alcohol which keeps them from caring about things or do things but none of them seem to care while Billie is refusing to take a xanny to feel better. This song is one that feels personal and what is really sad about this song is that Billie herself seems to feel sad and distant from the people around her because she can't understand why they're doing what they're doing while the people around her all numb from the drugs and never seem to learn from their mistakes, in this situation it feels like no one is better off in the end. This song's production reflects the song really well with being sad and haunting through out.
2. Bad Guy- Billie Eilish: This song in which declares herself to be the bad guy is quite fun and different than most pop songs. This song is more playful with just a little edge of darkness unlike some of Billie's other songs such as Bury a Friend. The song takes a darker turn towards the end of the song which I think just adds a little more to the song.
