Met “this year should be remembered as a bridge between music’s past and future” geeft het Amerikaanse Vulture een mooie duiding aan 2019. Door een relatief gebrek aan releases van wereldsterren, kreeg jong talent podium. Billie Eilish, Lizzo en Rosalía vonden als kometen een groot publiek, terwijl middelgrote namen als Solange, Tyler en James Blake belangrijke stappen zetten in hun carrière. Deze honderd liedjes gaven het laatste jaar van dit decennium kleur.
