Top 10 Singles for the Week of August 9, 2019:
1. “Looking For America” – Lana Del Rey
Lana Del Rey drops a surprise track that all the proceeds made from it will benefit mass shooting victims. It’s features a wispy vocal and a story of how things used to be.
2. “No Way!” – Bazzi
The latest installment of Soul Searching has the infectious beat you’d expect with all the anthemic vibes.
3. “Hot Girl Summer (feat. Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign)” – Megan Thee Stallion
A phrase that has been everywhere, “hot girl summer” this track encompasses all that energy and adds three great rap artists to make one of the catchiest tracks of the summer.
4. “Rooting For You” – Alessia Cara
This track has a smooth vibe and talks of someone letting you down and no longer meeting your good expectations, in the summer.
5. “Let Bygones Be Bygones” – Snoop Dogg
Snoop returns with a soulful track that takes you through his life and it’s ups and downs over the years.
6. “Coffee” – Tori Kelly
A beautiful singer-songwriter track that is watching the one you love go through life and how you become envious of their coffee cup, because it gets to kiss their lips every morning.
7. “Small Talk” – Katy Perry
This track perfectly encompasses the awkward ex encounter — someone you went from being strangers, to lovers and back with and now all that’s left between you two, is small talk.
8. “Naeem” – Bon Iver
Bon Iver surprised fans and dropped his new album, i,i weeks early and this track is definitely one of the highlights. It has that indie/alternative sound that draws you in and this song is a perfect blend for the album flow.
9. “Know” – Mary J. Blige
An empowering track for women and leaders around the world. The soulful singer oozes passion all over this track and marks it as one to remember.
10. “Slow Dance (feat. Ava Max) – AJ Mitchell
