Unlike other years, 2020 was not so good or we can consider it an accidental year. From the Australian fire to the coronavirus outbreak, it was all about grief and sorrow. The world was locked inside homes and lives were losing in millions. But, there are a few things that controlled positive vibes and smiles.
Reports suggest that the average time American spent around 44.5 hours listening to music during the covid-19 pandemic. While there was nothing to please the mind, people connected themselves to the music because it could cure anything, even sorrow has a sound.
Music is undoubtedly the finest invention of all time and we must thank the man who invested in music. In fact, there is nothing as flexible as music. There are around 27 known distinct emotions and you can find a tune for nearly each of them. We have music for happiness, sadness, love, anger, inspiration, peacefulness, horror, amusement, entrancement, and just name a few.
However, the definition of music may vary from one person to another, but the way it hit the soul remains the same. Simply put, music is divided by languages but united by emotions. Be it hip-hop English, classic Hindi or blastic Punjabi, every song narrates a story that goes to the heart. Interestingly, language barriers don’t work in this game of emotions.
While there are thousands of million songs, we’ve picked the top 10 best songs of 2020 that made this year a bit better. So, let’s start this amazing listing of the best songs of the year!

- “August” — sipped away like a bottle of wine
There are thousands of musical talents in the world but Taylor Swift has two strengths that set her apart. Her lyrics feel like sharp knives and the bridges she made through mid-high give her songs a life.
In “August” you will feel both – the sharpness and the calmness. In fact, it has a perfect combination of Swift’s iconic verse-chorus/verse-chorus/bridge-chorus and the song will be etched to your mind forever.
You will be driven to Swift’s imaginary world with this poetic genius. “August” delivers pure joy, warmth, and a wimp that hits hard. The reason why it tops the list of the best songs of 2020 is – the drumbeat that drops in the middle with the nostalgic waves.

- Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage Remix” Was Really Savage
People often hate remixes, but Stallion’s “Savage” remixed by Beyonce was literally a pure example of chemistry and star power. Though Megan’s musical talent was enough to make it popular, Beyonce’s remix was actually an improved version.
Unlike most remixes that appear and vanish over the past decade, Beyonce goes beyond her series to make it one of the best songs of 2020. Released on April 29, 2020, this remix doesn’t lose a single spark of Megan’s madness and you will feel it in every chorus that makes it a real-savage.
Kudos to Beyonce with Megan Thee Stallion to rank it on #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
- The Weekend “Blinding Lights”
Sometimes the best song comes with a nostalgia that feels like you’ve heard it before. “Blinding Lights” do the same. The madness comes with the opening drumbeat that continues through the song.
Combining Michael Jackson’s iconic “Beat It”, this song from “The Weekend” will drive you back to the era when Russian-villans were so cruel. Copying Post Malone’s Rockstar, ‘Blinding Lights’ features an immersive video as well. The drumbeats with hip-hop jazz have been around us in the N-95 mask at home.
- “Adore You” Fueled by Harry Styles
Released in December 2019, it is an addiction in the voice of Harry Styles. With its roots going down in 2020, this catchy single narrates more than what it binds in the lyrics and you’ll perhaps be able to connect with every single chorus.
Besides, gorgeously crafted vocals, you will feel connected when it says – “I’d walk through fire for you, Just let me adore you.” It has been one of the best songs of 2020 with 19,346,882 views on YouTube.
- “Say So” by Doja Cat
There was a time when the Billboard top 50 were dominated by the Disco retros, but with Doja Cat’s “Say So” it has become a throwback element, making it feel least off-floor. The singer was so much in mood that you can feel the erotic waves with every guitar string.
The sexual assault and other abuses, depicted through the song are the reasons why it won’t be ignored. With the disco retro and scrutiny in the beats, “Say So” comes 5th among the best songs of 2020.
- “The Box” by Roddy Ricch
Roddy got early access to the list of the best songs of 2020 with “The Box ” ran 3rd on Billboard’s top 100. It separated the Track’s hypnotized beat and energetic sound drops, “I would never sell my soul”, Ricch’s vocals started a new trend on TikTok and have been a part of countless memes.
Making it one of the best songs of 2020 on YouTube, The Box was Calig Rapper’s mainstream as the 808s hit so hard.
- “Stupid Love” by Lady Gaga
The name itself is enough to make it one of the best songs of 2020, but we ranked “Stupid Love” with no stupidity on its sides. Gaga is well known for her spellbinding performance on the dance floor and she knows to leave the audience speechless with limited stuff.
With 129 million views in 10 months, it has been a good pandemic partner, putting happy faces around the covid-masks.
- “People, I’ve Been Sad” by Christine & The Queens
Since Despacito became the most-viewed video on YouTube, French musical talents have made their way to be the master of depressionbanger – bringing pop anthems to feel muscles good. With simple chorus and the solitary feeling of witched days, the Queens scattered smiles around the line.
What made it one of the best songs of 2020 is the reflection of being quarantined as the song was written and recorded during the pandemic with the feel dissolved into it.
- “Physical” by Dua Lips
Another single from the nostalgic album ‘Future’ with a 13-second immersive opening, “Physical” comprises intimate fantasy that the singer feels. It is energetic enough to summon everyone to hit the dance floor. The only thing you would be etched to is the beat of the drops in the second chorus, hitting hard!
With the 80s influenced tunes, Dua paid homage to the Olivia Newton-John that became the inspiration. Simply put, Physical is nothing but energetic adrenaline-pumped jazz that will add spark to your party. With 241,211,465 views on YouTube, it ranked one of the best songs of 2020.

Original is rare, says Gomez, with the title track, pinched like RedBull in the veins – Salena Gomez’s most popular album – the failing-relationship lament “Rare” is all about production and lyrical details that sets the track apart from hip-hop!
Gomez marked a significant place in the pandemic with the reliever named “Rare”. With 861 million views on YouTube, it ranked among the best songs of 2020.
