The moment fans have been waiting for since Timberlake and Stapleton collaborated at the 2015 CMA Awards finally came in 2018, and it's as special as that instant-classic performance. "Say Something" is the perfect combination of Timberlake's pop mastery and Stapleton's old-world country, and it allows both of their voices to shine while still also complementing each other. Not only did the song take JT and Chris' bromance to the next level, it made it very clear that their CMA team-up was no fluke. -- TAYLOR WEATHERBY
49. Jade Bird, "Lottery"
Singer-songwriter Jade Bird's brilliance lies in her ability to mesh her British roots with Americana style to create a unique genre (Britana?) that we can't get enough of. On her breakthrough acoustic track, Bird relays a conversation about love gone wrong and includes all the nitty-gritty details, from the address she lived at to actual dialogue from her and her ex's conversation. Culminating with an electric chorus, it's a delightful tune that leaves us hungry for her eventual debut LP. -- XANDER ZELLNER
