At the end of each year, its assessment.
Genius, a site that lists song lyrics, has unveiled its own by publishing the twenty most sought after songs by Internet users in 2020. Because we don't always understand what they are singing or because their productions are real success, the artists thus distinguished are among the most popular of the year.

At the first place of this top 20, with nearly 15 million views, we find the sulphurous collaboration between Cardi B and Meghan Thee Stallion:
WAP
, acronym for
“Wet-ass pussy”
, which Google Translate will translate for you.
We must admit that the lyrics are worth the detour and that we must listen to understand these stories of
“bucket”
and
“mop”
that Cardi B advises us to
“bring back to wipe”
“wet”
stuff
.
On the second step of the podium, it's another featuring,
Godzilla
, between Eminem and the late Juice WRLD who stands out.
K-pop superstars BTS land on the third step of the podium with the box
Dynamite
, their first title in English, viewed 736 million times on YouTube.
Pennsylvanian singer Taylor Swift achieves the pass of three by placing
Cardigan
,
Exile
and
The 1
, as does Ariana Grande with
Positions
and
Stuck With U
, her track with Justin Bieber.
The ex teen-star is not left behind since his hit
Yummy
ranks ninth.
The former 6ix9ine inmate takes fifth place with
Gooba
, while
No Time To Die
, the soundtrack of the upcoming James Bond played by Billie Eilish comes 18th.
Jul and his friends at the top of French rap
In addition to its general ranking, Genius, through its “France” section, also established the top 10 rap songs whose lyrics were the most sought after.
Unsurprisingly, the summer hit
Bande
Organisé
, the first publication of the Marseille collective
13 Organisé,
came out on top.
An initiative of Jul, who wished to bring together fifty rappers from the Marseille city including SCH, Soso Maness, Kofs, Naps or even IAM to produce an album tinted with blue and white.
The song's page has been visited 704,000 times.
The second position, but also the third, seventh and ninth positions are occupied by the same artist: Freeze Corleone, with
Freeze Raël
,
Rap catechism
,
Offline
and
Desiigner
.
In September, the rapper from Les Lilas created a controversy with his anti-Semitic texts.
An investigation was opened by the Paris prosecutor's office for texts of a “racist nature” and the 28-year-old young man was then released by his Universal label.
The stainless Booba is placed fourth with
Jauné
in collaboration with Zed.
A new one appeared in May, that the "Duke of Boulogne" had also inserted in his playlist called
Validé
, in which also appeared the two rappers who follow in the ranking.
First Ninho and his
Letter to a Woman
, present on his
MILS 3
mixtape
, published in March.
Then Maes with the track
Blanche
on which Booba is present.
Finally, the Belgian Damso places two songs in this top, in 6th and 10th places with
Deux toiles de mer
and
Life life
, from his album
QALF
available since September 18.
