When we last checked in with the best songs of 2020 in December, the world was a drastically different place.

With her third album, ‘Planet Her,’ prepped for blast off on June 25, rapper-singer Doja Cat is looking to give music lovers yet another reason to add the LP to their collections.

First thrilling audiences with the project’s kick off single, the Hot 100 top 5 hit ‘Kiss Me More’ (featuring SZA), now Doja’s following with the new tune ‘Need to Know.’

“I do what I can to get you off (Yeah) / Might just f*ck him with my makeup on (Yeah) / Eat it like I need an apron on (You okay?) / Eat it ’til I need to change my thong (You okay?) / We could do it to your favorite song (You okay?) / Take a ride into the danger zone,” Cat commands on the sexually supercharged song.

Ahead of the Friday morning premiere of its official music video (June 11), hear ‘Need’ in full inside:

Thanks to a well-received remix featuring Miley Cyrus, relative newcomer The Kid Laroi has been bumped to his highest Hot 100 position yet.

As the refreshed tally revealed Monday (May 10), the Aussie singer-rapper-producer saw his hit ‘Without You’ – which previously peaked at #30 on the hit list – hop to #8 after an assist from Cyrus.

While Kid has much to celebrate as it’s his second career visit to the chart region, Miley may have even more as the move moves her into Billboard history books.

Just a week after planting her latest single, ‘Willow,’ atop the Hot 100 (click here to read more), the Taylor Swift tune was whisked away from the position thanks to a gust of holiday tunes.

And, while the #1 premiere of the ‘Evermore’ cut entered her in history books for a number of reasons including being the third female artist (fifth overall) to nab three career debuts atop the Hot 100, it’s now seeing her penciled in records for opposite movement.

Well, it certainly has been an interesting year – both in terms of music and life.

Many of the songs that soundtracked 2020 provided an escape, a refuse among the daily happenings. They provided a shoulder to cry on, a friend to laugh with, and endlessly quotable lines.

So, until the day that we can once again gather with those around us, we will be tuning up these tracks.

With the GRAMMY nominations being announced on Tuesday (November 24), The Weeknd, Harry Styles, and Post Malone are poised to be among this year’s most nominated artists. Each of them could score a nomination in Album, Record and Song of the Year.

However, the likes of Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion, and Taylor Swift may well be hot on their tails in a number of key categories.

With each of these categories including eight nominees, join us below as we reveal our predictions…

Just last week (as we reported here), Travis Scott sent BTS fans into a frenzy when his new song – ‘Franchise’ (featuring Young Thug and M.I.A.) – debuted at #1 on the Hot 100 and blocked what many thought would be the 4th week reign of the boy band’s explosive hit, ‘Dynamite.’

Making history for accumulating three #1 debuts in less than a year, Scott saw ‘Franchise’ powered to the top on the wings of a number of single combo deals including cassette, CD, and digital versions (some of which were priced at $.69).

The strategic marketing method – employed by a number of artists that premiered atop the Hot 100 this year – is often only applied to their respective tunes’ inaugural week figures, thereby being the reason many of those out-of-the-box hits plummet down the tally in their second frame of sales reporting.

Landing at #25 on this week chart proves Scott’s latest smash is no exception.
