Top 10: The Musical Hype by Stats, 2020

After a highly successful 2020 on The Musical Hype, we crunch the numbers, highlighting the most successful playlists, track & album reviews.

Singer/songwriter Regina Spektor delivers the third-straight exceptional single from her forthcoming album, ‘Remember Us to Life.’

After singing about her “Bleeding Heart,” singer/songwriter Regina Spektor returns with an electrifying second single, “Small Bill$.”

Not every album is beloved by critics. In the case of the nine albums that grace this list, overall, critics were mixed or totally disliked them.

In no ways does Usher “crash and burn” on new single “Crash,” but neither does he make us yearn for his return to the music world.

After reviewing ‘Blackstar’, the final studio album by icon David Bowie, we ranked the seven songs from the album in order of best to worst.

Regardless whether Michigan-bred, Cali-based BØRNS breaks through or doesn’t, his major label debut, ‘Dopamine’, is worth checking out.

Youthful British standout James Bay arrives with a polished debut, Chaos And The Calm.

All in all, ‘Songs of Innocence’ is a good U2 album, but not a truly, great U2 album. It has its worthwhile moments nonetheless.

Versatile singer José James follows up critically-acclaimed LP ‘No Beginning, No End’ with the eclectic ‘While You Were Sleeping.’

Singer/songwriter Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent) delivers big-time on her fifth studio album (fourth solo), self-titled LP ‘St. Vincent’.

Ultimately, ‘Feel,’ the fourth studio album from Sleeping With Sirens, does ‘feel’ good, if not ‘exceptionally’ great.
