The 15 Best Juice WRLD Songs, Ranked
The best Juice WRLD songs come from a recording career that lasted barely three years and a vault that has now outlived it by longer — from Goodbye & Good Riddance on May 23, 2018 to The Party Never Ends on November 29, 2024, all released through Grade A Productions and Interscope Records.

How these best Juice WRLD songs were ranked
Two catalogs exist here, and pretending otherwise makes for a dishonest list. The songs Juice finished and released himself are weighted above the posthumous material, which was assembled from unfinished vault recordings by producers and label staff. Where a posthumous track ranks high, it is because the vocal performance is complete enough to stand as his own work rather than a reconstruction.

| 2 | All Girls Are the Same | Goodbye & Good Riddance | 2018 |

Why “Lucid Dreams” still leads
“Lucid Dreams” peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, is certified 11× platinum by the RIAA, and did more than any single record to move emo rap from SoundCloud into the mainstream. Built on an interpolation of Sting’s “Shape of My Heart,” it is also the clearest demonstration of what made him unusual: the melody, the cadence and the writing all arrived at once, mostly improvised, in a form nobody had to fix afterward.
The 2018 run is the core of the catalog
Goodbye & Good Riddance, released May 23, 2018, peaked at No. 4 and contains five of the 15 songs here. “All Girls Are the Same” is the purest example of the freestyle method he was famous for, and “Legends” — written after the deaths of XXXTENTACION and Lil Peep — is the most unsettling thing in the catalog to hear now. That album, plus Death Race for Love on March 8, 2019, is what everything since has been measured against.
Which posthumous songs actually hold up?
“Righteous” is the best of them, and it ranks fourth here because the vocal is a finished performance rather than a stitched one. Legends Never Die, released July 10, 2020, debuted at No. 1 and produced three of the biggest chart entries of the posthumous era: “Come & Go” with Marshmello reached No. 2, “Wishing Well” No. 5 and “Conversations” No. 7. Fighting Demons (December 10, 2021, No. 2) and The Party Never Ends (November 29, 2024, No. 4) are more uneven, and the further the vault gets from finished material the more that shows.
What’s next for the vault?
Lil Bibby teased a deluxe edition of The Party Never Ends in December 2025, with fans voting on which songs make it. The frequently discussed The Outsiders — the album Juice had planned for December 2, 2019, his 21st birthday, six days before he died — has never been confirmed for release by Grade A, and producers close to the sessions have said much of it was never finished. Our breakdown of The Outsiders rumors separates what is confirmed from what is speculation. Certification data via the RIAA.
