#Top100of2021

I didn't know if I was going to do this this year, but I ended up getting it done with enough time to publish. So here we go, CU:BS's seventh countdown of the year's biggest hits!

With two number ones and four songs in this list's top 40, Olivia Rodrigo was not only this year's Best New Artist; she also edges out The Weeknd, Doja Cat, and Drake as CU:BS 2021 Artist of the Year. (Hanina Pinnick // New Musical Express)
