Honorable Mentions
When I Wasn't Watching - Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore hasn't released an album in a decade choosing to focus on acting over music. Hard to blame here there since she is killing it in there by being a part of a hit TV show among other things. But she is back with a new album coming out in 2020 and this single being out now. It's a lot different of a song then her traditional pop songs that she released in her younger years. She will be performing a concert in my area next year so I think I might go to that and see what she is like now a days. Anyways I liked this song and it was originally on my list but then other songs that I liked more just came out so it got bumped to an honorable mention.

I Don't Love You - Lindsay Ell
Lindsay is a country singer from Canada so that should make the Canadians on IDF to see some Canadian representation. I saw Lindsay in concert in June as she performed along with Cassadee Pope, Maren Morris, Miranda Lambert, Lauren Alaina and a bunch of other people. Lindsay was great and I like a lot of her songs. I believe this is the only song that Lindsay has released this year. And while I do like her and a lot of her songs this one isn't quite as good as some of her other ones. It still is good and I do like it so that's why I included it.

Ride - Chloe MK
Chloe won The Voice a few seasons ago. After winning The Voice she changed her stage name to Chloe MK and changed her music drastically. I saw her in concert in the summer and it was fun. She just released her first EP over the summer and this was one of the songs on the EP. It wasn't my favorite song on the EP the couple I liked more made the top 50 but I think Ride is a very solid song still.

Hey 3 AM - Olivia Lane
Olivia is an artist I just heard of the for the first time like a day before I finalized this list. Apparently she was on the show Songland. I watched a couple episodes of that but it was kinda boring. How I heard of her was that she followed me on twitter out of the blue and I clicked on her account and saw that she was good friends with Kalie Shorr who is an artist I love so I followed her back and listened to a couple of her songs. They are pretty good songs but I didn't feel like including it into my top 50 since I had just heard it but I felt like it deserved an honorable mention at least.
Dancing With A Stranger - Sam Smith, Normani
This is not typically my type of music but I did enjoy this song. Sam Smith and Normani are both huge names in the music industry and they came together to create this enjoyable song. I didn't enjoy it enough to include it in my actual top 50 but I liked it well enough to include it in my honorable mention section.
