It's December, which means it's time for Best of 2020 lists. With so many lists out there, who has time to read all of them?

It turns out that we do. But, since you probably don't, we gathered all of the Top 10 list, we could find, mashed them all together in a giant spreadsheet, and spit out overall Top 10 rankings for the best albums, songs, books, TV shows, movies, and video games of the year. Thank you very much.

The Best Songs of 2020

10. 'Physical' - Dua Lipa

The music, which is dripping with midnight energy, reaches a feverish fever pitch at the bridge, when Lipa implore listeners to "hang on!"

9. Safaera - Bad Bunny featuring Jowell & Randy and Ñengo Flow

The song instantly transports you back to your "pari de marquesina" days, when you were perreando to a megamix of the newest reggaetón singles in your friends' backyard parties.

8. Rain on Me - Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga

The sensation is similar to being teeth in a mouthwash commercial, a baby in a baptismal font, or Hugh and Andie at the end of Four Weddings: your mind and spirit are left quenched.

7. Dynamite - BTS

"Dynamite" combines high-octane snaps, synths, bass, and horns with a dash of 2020 disco overload ("with a little funk and soul") and a slew of cultural references ranging from The Rolling Stones to LeBron James.

6. I Want You To Love Me - Fiona Apple

"I Want You to Love Me" is a fantastically strange and passionate tune that gets Fetch the Bolt Cutters off to a great start.

5. I Know The End - Phoebe Bridgers

With respect to several other excellent musical endeavors this year, I'm still holding to Bridgers' alluringly pulverising "I Know the End," which is the only 2020 song that counts to me, that has continuously calmed me, that genuinely exists for me .

4. Blinding Lights - The Weeknd

It's a jolt of '80s nostalgia that's punchy and never pandering, with crooning vocals and a shimmering synth hook that get lodged in your brain.

3. People I've been sad - Christine and the Queens

Christine and the Queens' Hélose Letissier articulated the many broken hearts of a world in anguish via a term so universal you can't help but chuckle in the overwhelming chaos of 2020, and coincidentally from the land that brought us "ennui": "People , I've been unhappy. "

2. Savage (Remix) - Megan Thee Stallion featuring Beyoncé

It's a profound celebration of Black femininity to see two Black female singers from the same hometown (one an established star, the other a budding one) collaborate on a self-loving song about being "that bitch," and then watch it top the Hot 100.

1. WAP - Cardi B featuring Megan Thee Stallion

The sound of two of the most powerful women in music brazenly placing the pleasure principle front and center in an era when fun and joy appeared dead, "WAP" was just the escapist raunch America needed in 2020. Because most people weren't at work (or at least weren't in a traditional, buttoned-up office environment), the NSFW video was amazing, and Cardi's Bronx fire mingled with Megan's bodacious flow to create one of rap's finest mic-passing buddy comedies of all time.
