Some of the best songs I have heard this year are:

Burn The Witch- Radiohead
Drone Bomb Me - Anohni
Ivy - Frank Ocean
Óveður - Sigur Ros
Formation - Beyoncé
The Wheel - PJ Harvey
Subways - The Avalanches
Kiss it better - Rihanna
Identikit - Radiohead
Good To Love - FKA Twigs

If we talk about the best song in terms of mainstream catchy conventional pop "Into You" form Ariana Grande would be a much better pick than Rise even if I'm not a fan of the artist at all.

Neither Rise nor Perfect Delusion are mainstream though, looking at charts, both seem to be flopping hard. We aren't the unimpressed minortiy, very few find them enjoyable judging by the download and streaming numbers, I bet if the names Katy or Gaga weren't attached to them we wouldn't hear about them.

This year, I jammed to "Be the one - dua lipa", "this is what you came for" and side to side by Ariana.

Your list is great. Rihanna surprised me with Bitch Better Have & My Money and Kiss it Better. I never thought we'd get another album by the Avalanches.
