New/Returning Entries Ranking

1. Hallelujah
This song sounds outright gorgeous on violin. Yeah it's mostly instrumental, but I love it. She did a better job than Jordan Smith I think.

2. Ginza by J Balvin
Either leave or stay please. Preferably stay, because I like this one. Again maybe it's horrible if you actually speak Spanish but I don't care.

3. Let It Go
Oh it's the Hold Back The River guy. I'm not as big on that song as some others are. As for this, it's good. Lots of presence and beautiful instrumentation.

4. The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You)
Though it's been said many times many ways...then it got covered infinity times. Oooooooooooold. But it holds up surprisingly well.

5. RGF Island
Kinda surprised to see this back. It's alright. But general public, you know Fetty's on a track with Sia and it's pretty good? Can we get that on the charts please?

6. Little More (Royalty)
Okay I'll give credit where credit is due, it's sweet that Chris Brown wrote a song for his daughter. And it's not bad. Some of the production underwhelms me though.

7. Get Ugly
Parts of the song's production work alright, but why would you write a song like this? With a few changes I could definitely get behind this.

8. Stick Talk
Oh hey I can actually understand Future. Aaaaaand he's not saying anything notable. Oddly enough I can groove to this though. Overall don't really mind.

9. Jingle Bell Rock
Nope, not doing this one. Heard it enough this year. This might've sounded like "rock" back in the 50s but time has not been kind to it at all.

10. Zero
Oh c'mon why is this actually decent instrumentation wasted on this over-production and awful lyrics? This had potential but so much of it was squandered because of who's performing it.

11. Really Really
This guy feels like a wannabe of someone but I can't think of who. Decent flow but that's about all the positive I can say about this.

12. Liquor
Yeah I knew this falling off was too good to be true. Royalty just released after all. Appropriately, I can't stand this song while sober, though I'm not sure being drunk would help.
