That's the best pop song of the year period..... Katy Perry is generic she only cares about #1 songs that make money and little teen girls could buy

That song is just as generic or worse.

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 - Beyonce
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.

The song of the year is either Space Oddity, Purple Rain, or When Doves Cry.

None of them are new, but they're definitely the ones that seem to have gotten the most play and most respect this year. Otherwise, nothing notable has come out that's new in 2016, so saying "X is the best song" is really empty in meaning. There's nothing that stands out new that can really be be objectively said to be a bigger song than the rest.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Song is pretty meh I'd say


But also lol at all the people here trashing the OP for his like of this generic song and then listing a bunch of other generic songs that are supposedly sooooooo much better

Everybody likes what they like ok....stop acting like you all have such sophisticated taste lol

If don't agree, better than anything Taylor Swift produced?

Any song that is as manufactured and contrived as "Rise" doesn't deserve to even be CALLED a song. It's nothing but product... no art to be found. Written by a professional song writter like Max Martin to make money. Totally void of meaning and soul... 

I was basically saying the same thing in the Britney Spears thread.

Though I believe Katy Perry to be a much better singer (vocals, technique ect) than britney spears is.

Spears new album lacks soul too, its just a product, and she cant sing anymore.

Katy Perry kinda has the same feel, of being over produced.

However dispite that I like alot of her songs, this one however isnt anything special.
