NPR Best Music Week Ending August 30 2019

Missy Elliott not only justified the VMAs' existence but also dropped the Iconology EP in August, reminding us just how vital and future-seeking she continues to be. "Throw It Back" appears on NPR Music's monthly best-of list along with Normani's irresistible "Motivation" and a blistering rock song by Big Thief.

Below you'll find an alphabetized list of NPR Music's top 16 songs of August 2019. Be sure to check out our top 12 albums from the month as well.
