🎵 Music findings #17

Hello everyone, and welcome to issue #17 of Music findings. Seven off the playlist this week, plus three videos where other people rank their all-time favourites.

🎵 Songs

• Dominic Fike — Babydoll — a 98-second demo from the EP he made under house arrest in 2018. TikTok picked it up this year:

• Nickelback — How You Remind Me — the original of the #12 hypertechno flip, and the most-played song on US radio in the 2000s, with more than 1.2 million spins:

• John Newman — Love Me Again — a Northern soul stomp and a voice that won’t take no for an answer. It went to UK number one in 2013:

• Linkin Park — BURN IT DOWN — synths up front and Rick Rubin co-producing. It led off Living Things and became their eighth million-seller.

• Artemas — if u think i’m pretty — dark and catchy, written and co-produced by Artemas himself, released independently, and carried into the UK chart by TikTok.

• Central Cee — One Up — two minutes forty of drill over a Lekaa Beats production, and the lead single from No More Leaks.

• Emma — L’Amore Non Mi Basta — a big Italian pop ballad from Schiena, and the title says it all: love isn’t enough.

📺 Videos

• illybwoy — MY TOP 100 SONGS OF ALL TIME — five years of listening that started with Radiohead and Daft Punk, now ranked with a comment on every song. It’s their first video and first edit.

• jun — my top 100 songs of all time — another hundred, in a quicker 23 minutes, with a Spotify playlist in the description if you want to keep one running.

• Colin Willette — Top 30 Favorite Songs of All Time — the tidiest rule of the three: only one song per album allowed, and it’s done in seven and a half minutes.
