#9 of 2024

Dear Poptastic Readers,

If you are just joining us, we have been counting down our Top 141 Songs of 2024 with a new song every day. See the past entries below. Tomorrow, we feature the next song in the countdown.

#9 in Poptastic Confessions Top 141 Songs of 2024 is: "Kiss Me Better" by Julie Bergan. Click on the name of the song to see what we said about it earlier this year.

Written and produced by: Julie Bergan, Jesper Borgen, and Albin Clern

Why: "Kiss Me Better" gave us the Y2K hi-nrg vibes that we didn't know we were missing in our lives. This song reminded us of glorious the Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone." Julie really got our attention with this song, and we were dancing all year long. LOVE it!

Watch: The music video shows Julie with a portable CD player, and the CD she is listening to is one that would have had music burned on to it at home as she writes on the CD with a marker. Classic. Also, headphones at the disco! We've added it to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on YouTube.

Chart history: This is the first year Julie was featured in Poptastic Confessions. She did have several other tracks on our countdown ...

"Get It Together" was #80

"Dive" was #89

"Eternity Tonight" was #124

"Iconic" with Raaban was #132

Buy: "Kiss Me Better" is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today!

#10 of 2024

Dear Poptastic Readers,

If you are just joining us, we have been counting down our Top 141 Songs of 2024 with a new song every day. See the past entries below. Tomorrow, we feature the next song in the countdown.

#10 in Poptastic Confessions Top 141 Songs of 2024 is: “Saw It All Coming” by Infernal. Click on the name of the song to see what we said about it earlier this year.

Written and produced by: Paw Lagermann and Lina Rafn (Infernal)

Why: According to Spotify, this was one of our most played songs of the year. We understand why as there is something so captivating about the trip-hop beats over the sweet vocal melody. The lyrics are self-reflective and relatable. We just love it! Funnily enough, they released a new album yesterday called INF: ALBUM. We will check it out after the holidays.

Watch: Sadly, there is no music video, lyric video, or visualizer, so we have added the official audio to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on YouTube.

Chart history: Infernal has been on our year-end countdowns before, and this is their second time in our Top 10.

"Love Is All ..." was #16 in 2012

"Weightless" was #6 in 2017

"Holding On" was #25 of 2017

And this year ...

"Touch Heaven" was #44

"Bending The Rules" was #67

Buy: "Saw It All Coming" is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today!

Dear Poptastic Readers,

If you are just joining us, we have been counting down our Top 141 Songs of 2024 with a new song every day. See the past entries below. Tomorrow, we feature the next song in the countdown.

#12 in Poptastic Confessions Top 141 Songs of 2024 is: “Everlasting” by Jody Watley. Click on the name of the song to see what we said about it earlier this year.

Written by: Jody Watley and Rodney Lee

Produced by: Jody Watley and Rodney Lee with additional production and mix by Alex Di Ciò

Why: "Everlasting" is one of the songs that just made us feel happy all year long. The second verse contains one of our favorite lyrics of the year: "Don't let the worst of life get the best of you." What a mantra. We absolutely love it! "Everlasting" was remixed quite a bit. We featured the Everlasting Remixes and The DäM Funk Remix.

Watch: Sadly, there was no music video, lyric video, or visualizer. We have added the official audio to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on YouTube.

Live performance: Jody gave a fantastic performance "Everlasting" on The Tamron Hall Show back in March. We love how the audience sings along with her. Have a look ...
