00:23if you haven't listened to the rising country music star yet, this is the place to start.

00:30Number 9 is Fortnite by Taylor Swift, featuring Post Malone.

00:36Fikadu says Fortnite is mellow and down-tempo, but also bold and direct,

00:40putting Swift's skilled songwriting in the driver's seat with a shining assist from Malone.

00:50Eighth on the list is Heart of a Woman by Summer Walker,

00:53who our critic says continues to lead R&B's contemporary class.

01:00This list wouldn't be complete without what many called the song of the summer,

01:05Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.

01:07According to Fikadu, like the drink it's named after, the song is tasty and addictive.

01:11It's what you know about me, B-G-L-O-N-A-G-L-E.

01:15Number 6 is What You Know About Me by Glorilla, featuring Sexy Red.

02:16They not like us, they not like us, they not like us.

02:21And finally, number 1 is Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar.
