Re: EOY 2021 - Uncut (UK)
I don't get this tendency for publications to release EOY lists before the year is over. While EOY lists typically seem to favor entries from the first half of the year anyways, it's always odd seeing albums/songs from late fall/early winter appear in next calendar year's best-of lists (e.g. Blindin...

I hate to be a bit cynical here, but I suspect that if Toxic were sung by any other artist, it would be easily in the top 50. I might actually think the opposite - a few inclusions here make it clear they are appealing to recent news events, so all the focus on Britney Spears recently probably help...

Re: 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (Rolling Stone Magazine version 2021)
I think the song I'm happiest seeing is "Running Up That Hill" at #60. It's by far my favorite song of the 1980s, and top 5 all-time for me. It's also way better than Wuthering Heights (which still good, though a tad overrated in my opinion).
