2020 has been an unprecedented year, but musical artists have released some of their best work yet. At least there were a few good things to come out of this year; here are 10 examples!

Gaslighter - The Chicks

Back after a 14-year hiatus, The Chicks released one of my all-time favorite breakup albums.

Favorite songs: "Gaslighter", "Young Man", "Everybody Loves You"

Kid Krow - Conan Gray

amazon.com

Favorites: "Heather", "Wish You Were Sober", "Checkmate"

Plastic Hearts - Miley Cyrus

We have been begging Miley to release a rock album and I'm convinced this one saved 2020.

Favorites: "Prisoner" (featuring Dua Lipa), "Golden G String", "Plastic Hearts"

Punisher - Phoebe Bridgers

pitchfork.com

I discovered Phoebe Bridgers this year, and she quickly became a new favorite of mine. The lyricism is one-of-a-kind on this album.

Favorites: "Moon Song", "Kyoto", "I Know The End"

mama's boy - LANY

amazon.com

Another band I really got into this year was LANY. To me, this album is their most relatable one yet.

Favorites: "heart won't let me", "good guys", "I still talk to jesus"

folklore - Taylor Swift

wikipedia.com

The first of Taylor's surprise albums she released this year. So so so so good!

Favorites: "cardigan", 'illicit affairs", "betty"

evermore - Taylor Swift

I couldn't possibly forget to include folklore's sister album and the second surprise album of the year! I still cannot decide which one of the two I prefer because they are both so good.

Favorites: "tolerate it", "champagne problems", "no body, no crime"

Manic - Halsey

pitchfork.com

Favorites: "You should be sad", "Graveyard", "Still Learning"

CALM - 5 Seconds of Summer

I enjoyed this more mature record from this modern boy band.

Favorites: "Teeth", "Wildflower", "Lover of Mine"

These Two Windows - Alec Benjamin

His debut album was definitely worth the wait!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
