Rolling Stone magazine has finally revealed their list of the "50 Best Songs of 2021. This year, the music industry has been more open than ever. Rolling Stone's list includes a variety of indie-pop celebration of queer love, a reggaeton star crooning some pretty Eighties synths, a pop-rap hit that self-celebrates the scandalized American right, a song by Lorde that could fit into the clubs during the nineties, and of course, the memorable tracks that drove the limits of rock, country, and K-pop.
