KISS Breakfast's Harriet Rose has chosen her favourite 20 songs of the last 12 months, featuring some HUGE artists such as Billie Eilish, Justin Bieber, Cardi B and Anne Marie!
Check out Harriet's Top 20 songs of 2020 below:
20. Me & U - Majestic ft. Kelsey
Kicking things off at number 20 it's our very own Majestic with Me & U Ft Kelsey, revisiting the undisputed banger by Cassie. This had me READY FOR THE DANCE FLOOR...all I had was the kitchen floor but it certainly made that a bit spicier…
Catch Majestic (Friday & Saturday nights 19:00-21:00) on KISS Nights with his own brand of House, Garage, bangers and PURE positivity TWICE a week! See the full line up here
19. Therefore I Am - Billie Eilish
We couldn’t have a list without this icon on it, Billie Eilish joins us at number 19 with her philosophical banger Therefore I Am. This is a powerful anthem, and the video makes me wanna run around a shopping centre eating all the free samples of food. I MISS PRETZELS.
Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely caught up with Billie and her love for JB - Watch it here
18. More Life - Torren Foot ft Tinie Tempah & L Devine
More life gave me ABSOLUTE LIFE, so I had to add this to my top twenty. A huge tune that got an even bigger glow up with this remix featuring Tinie Tempah and talented up and comer L Devine. The very definition of a banger…
17. BRB - Mahalia
Mahalia dropped the isolation tapes during lockdown - a very needed piece of escapism. BRB simultaneously managed to break my heart and put it all the way back together in three minutes thirty seconds. ❤️
16. HOLIDAY - Lil Nas X
It is not easy to secure a Christmas banger, but Lil Nas X absolutely delivered with Holiday. The dance routines, the looks, the energy were all NEXT LEVEL, plus he managed to make Christmas SEXY. What more could you want? 🎄
15. Holy - Justin Bieber ft Chance The Rapper
Justin Bieber has had a big year musically with so many huge tunes and Holy really hit different with such a special feature from Chance The Rapper. KISS’s biggest Belieber Perri Kiely is STILL singing this non stop
14. Daisy - Ashnikko
One of the biggest hits of the year and the song I most love to scream sing in the shower 🚿- Daisy by Ashnikko. We were so lucky to have her perform at The KISS Haunted House Party and I cannot wait to hear more from her in 2021...
Watch Ashnikko get CREATIVE in quarantine! 🍆🎩here
13. BIRTHDAY - Anne-Marie
The hugely talented Anne Marie dropped the massive ‘Birthday’ early in 2020 and it was the perfect antidote for a lockdown birthday - who would have thought we needed a new take on a birthday song so badly? Absolutely can’t get enough of it.
Watch Anne-Marie surprise superfans at KISS here
12. Body - Megan Thee Stallion
As you might know I am OBSESSED with Megan Thee Stallion and this tune is an absolute tonic and reminds us to love our BODY-ODY-ODY-ODY-ODIES!! The choreo, the beat, the lyrics are FIRE, and plus it’s really easy to remember the chorus, it’s got a real ring to it.
11. i miss u - Jax Jones & Au/Ra
Words that sadly have come all too familiar in 2020, i miss u, from Jax Jones & Au/Ra - it reminds me of 2000’s dance music with that ultimate 2020 energy. As soon as I heard it I was addicted and with over 4 million views on YouTube it looks like I'm not the only one.
10. 34 + 35 - Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande comes in at number 10 with a very, very cheeky Maths lesson with 34+35 from her sixth studio album Positions. I never knew that 2020 would give Ariana a new album AND new profession. We love to see it.
9. Midnight Sky - Miley Cyrus
What a gift we have at number 9, I MEAN, what can I even say? Midnight Sky is absolutely outstanding, the song of the summer. Taken from Miley’s seventh studio album, Plastic Hearts - the gift that keeps on giving.
Watch Miley Cyrus "I've basically become a stripper!" 🤷♀️**here**
8. Diamonds - Sam Smith
At number 8 from their 3rd studio album Love Goes, we have Diamonds. This is a powerful heartbreak banger, Sam’s voice is stunning and this album really helped me get through the dark moments of lockdown.
7. Sweet Melody - Little Mix
I STAN Little Mix so hard and Sweet Melody is without a doubt one of my favourite songs of the year, from their huge album Confetti. A massive year for the girls, I want to take a moment to send huge amounts of love and support to Jesy after the recent news.
Putting our mental health first is so important and she is a great role model for their fans. These four women have done so much in their career and have inspired so many with such talent.
Watch Little Mix do KISSTORY Karaoke - Behind The Scenes 😅🎤**here**
6. Don't Need Love - 220 Kid ft Gracey
220 Kid absolutely OWNED 2020, ‘Don’t Need Love’ ft Gracey has over 7.9 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube, I have listened to this tune so many times I should be absolutely sick of it but I am NOWHERE NEAR. Couldn’t have happened to a lovelier chap too...
5. Rain On Me - Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande
An absolutely euphoric joy Rain On Me at number 5 - Lady Gaga ft Ariana Grande. This house/pop/disco banger was absolutely what we needed in 2020, Gaga describes it as a celebration of tears and I couldn’t put it better myself. A message to try to persevere despite the hardships... Just what the doctor ordered. 👨⚕️
4. Break My Heart - Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa first laid out the rules for dating with New Rules then she laid out the rules for 2020 with Break My Heart. She has overcome 2020 in the most inspirational way possible, having released a humongous second album, Future Nostalgia, getting nominated for SIX GRAMMYS and literally bringing the CLUB to our living rooms with Studio 2054. I never thought I could have that fun on my sofa.
Watch Dua Lipa reenacts the DISGUSTANG' MEME here**! 💩**
3. Ain't It Different - Headie One ft AJ Tracey & Stormzy
We have hit the top three and this one from Headie One - Ain't It Different ft AJ Tracey & Stormzy, an absolutely fire tune which was the lead single from Headie One’s debut album EDNA. His highest charting single and for good reason!!
2. Head And Heart - Joel Corry & MNEK
Number 2 is a family affair - our very own Joel Corry and incredibly talented MNEK with Head & Heart, the song of the summer that I still can't get enough of in December.
I feel like everything about this song is a feel good bop that put a smile on so many people’s faces this year.
1. 🥇🏆 WAP - Cardi B ft Megan Thee Stallion 🏆 🥇
The song of the year, my coveted 😉 number 1 spot of TOP 20 OF 2020, goes to Cardi B and Megan the Stallion with WAP! You don’t even need a bucket and a mop because these girls absolutely CLEANED UP this year. 💦
