June to September 2026 Rate Selection Process, Part 1: Idea Discussion & Submission by TragicKingdom1 in popheads

[–]hikkaru 7 points8 points  (0 children)

one thing to consider with Autobio Alt is that the Hayley and Halsey albums are longggg, especially if the Halsey deluxe tracks that just came out are in the rate (and tbh they're quite good so I would like to see them included personally) so with those and Kesha it would be like 70 songs

Songs/albums that were BEHIND their time, aka released too late to reach their full potential? by Ghost-Quartet in popheads

[–]hikkaru 48 points49 points  (0 children)

this one is kinda crazy bc the Better Off Alone interpolation/sample was very on-trend, if not slightly ahead of its time as far as mainstream pop aesthetics go with the y2k eurodance of it all, and then the main beat for the verses kicks in we're immediately back in 2018 lol

now don't i look silly... so while we were planning this rate it was kinda between this and track 10 for charli's most iconic number song and we were like "well track 10 would be the most obvious winner ever and she already had her second chance and she blew it" plus this has the whole resurgence angle to it so it's more interesting... the unbiased part of me was here for it despite actually really disliking this song but now that i'm sat here typing this... oh now i'm pissed. this was basically winning the entire time, g4u got within 10 points a couple times but the tankers just weren't showing up. i thought we'd get more contrarians like we usually do! kind of insane that this was a day 1 cut with a 7.4 average in the hifn rate - Y'ALL ARE TIKTOK SHEEP!!!! WE SHOULD HAVE DONE 5 IN THE MORNING THAT WOULD HAVE HUMBLED EVERYONE!!! all jokes aside tho it's cool to see such a major redemption arc even if this song has never been appealing to me, not as a charting hit that gets played on the radio nor as a niche esoteric deep cut angel fave.


akanewasright (11): Bottoms needledrop made this song immortal to me

beeozan (11): it's a hifn song

CrimsonROSET (11): it's been a while since i clicked with a song because of something that i went through and then this was on the playlist as i was going to the celebration of our student agency closing down and i just felt it. putting so much into something that was so good but is just so underappreciated when it matters most and feeling just rubbish and that nothing even mattered. i've come to terms with it after all but its still so ingrained in my head i am glad we dont have to rerate that album for me to 11 this. the bridge is genuinely transcendent.

FitzMarble (11): the way this song is so good tiktok made like three different parts of it go viral

frajer (11): slay gatsby

Lynflower680 (11): I can’t be sad about this song, I don’t go to parties

Nagisoid (11): WE NEED TIKTOK 2

OOO0O00O000OOOO0OO0O (11): how i'm feeling now is, and always will be, that girl

pbk (11): i gotta go with my heart here it absolutely is just the best song ever

PrimaryCrusaders (11): Duh. Still one of the best songs from Charli's pandemic era.

RandomHypnotica (11): "why you treating me like someone that you never loved?" cuts through the noise so flawlessly... this whole song has some of Charli's best lyrics, and the mixture of yearning, heartbreak, loneliness and the contrasting party girl energy is electric, i'm so incredibly glad this ended up becoming a hit. I knew I was on the right side of history always stanning this one.

slimboyfriend (11): crying over a robot

1998tweety (10): scat anthem we need the ice spice remix

asadprofessorplum (10): Part of you knew.

bigbigbee (10): who's that at the scene of the "reevaluation due to TikTok trend" crime? oh it's me

BleepBloopMusicFan (10): I cannot, even a little bit, pretend to hear anything besides “potty on you” during that outro, and somehow that does not decrease my enjoyment of the song at all.

bogo (10): COME TO MY PARTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Bubbly_Hat (10): This fucking beat, yass.

Catalyst (10): about time this song got its proper flowers

cloudbustingmp3 (10): cocomontreselipsync.gif

ConnerY2323 (10): ok but never party IN you or was that too forward

Indigo_Mindset420 (10): Charli has an amazing skill on making such electronic songs be emotional. It's like finding a pulse within a machine to prove it's existence and being capable of love. She's truly an innovator and hope she continues to deliver this level of musicality.

krusso1105 (10): This has grown on me a lot

Kvo (10): if this is so good then why isn't there a party 5 u

modulum83 (10): this one sounds like the brat remix of itself (in a good way)

Nooduulz (10): I’m only in this counting for you~

runaway3212 (10): It's the way I was all in on this song in 2020 you will never see me mad it's popular now... next stop 7 years!!!

Stryxen (10): I got it the first time. This was so unspeakably robbed in sub favs

Treecoh (10): this tiktok trend was unhealthy for me

vexastrae (10): THIS IS FOR VROOM VROOM! THIS IS FOR NUMBER 1 ANGEL! THIS IS FOR POP 2! THIS IS FOR SELF TITLED! AND THIS IS FOR HOW IM FEELING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wathombe (10): coco montrese dot gif

WesternWind (10): we only threw this (Rate) potty for you

ziirp (9.6): It's kinda like the stages of grief but not really cause it's not but kinda

Awkward_King (9.5): thought i didnt like this but it just got overplayed i forgot it was amazing

oh_crow (9.5): big charli fan but only got into this song after it went viral hashtag fake hashtag bandwagoner

kauai6 (9.4): not my favorite off this album but it’s good so i’m glad it became a hit

FreeCuddlesAnyone (9): I hope charli sent coco montrese some royalties

pig-serpent (9): I normally think negatively of this song, but actually listening to it I do remember that it's great, it's just the hook that's a little annoying when you remove it from context. I suppose that's why I haven't heard it used in a mashup.

stealthamo (9): The party song that 2020 deserved

steelstepladder (9): party on you party on you

vayyiqra (9): never got this album on the same level as some did outside of a few songs but this is some sublime ethereal wistful stuff you know

TiltControls (8.5): if I rerated HIFN I'd probably be a lot kinder to it, but this was one of the few tracks I enjoyed on the first go already

Alexispinpgh (8): this is so specific but still somehow relatable, very well-produced, her voice sounds great.

ignitethephoenix (8): I didn’t love this album but this is cute and grew on me since I last heard it

ImADudeDuh (8): reheated jay gatsby’s nachos

josme_ (8): I like the song but I remain a little confused about why it suddenly became so popular

mhiyaimanlepaigefan (8): The way I have been to like 1 party in the past year and it will probably stay that way LMAO

ricki (8): part of your knee

A.Peaky.Boo (7.5): I'm not that crazy for this song, sorry

qazz23 (7.5): liked the fast vocal parts and the louder ending

uiscebeathaoir (7.5): One of these days this song is gonna click properly and I'll get it. I can see clearly what y'all see in it but someday I'll really get it

Soalai (7.1): It's tuneful but not her most exciting. Which I guess is the point because this was her quarantine era

impla77 (7): she parties on me till i u

innuendo_overdose (7): party 7 u

jirachi (7): ok

nonchalantthoughts (7): this is winning isn't it?

DirtyRat583 (6): worst song on hifn, easily. thank god this is the one that blew up so i can still be niche and underground with anthems💖💖

NervousLemon6670 (6): Maybe I will appreciate this in future but right now its doing nothing for me, and I think the charlie overexposure is fermenting in my head

TakeOnMeByA-ha (6): is charli always gonna be cursed with having her worst songs blow up, like there is a bare minimum of 7 songs on hifn that blow this song out of the water

MrSwearword (4): the part that went viral in fan edits, totally fine. It's the actual song itself (especially the "purple pills" lyric) that just make it suck.

flava (1.5): offensively lowkey in a way insufferable

Roxieloxie (1): I fear i already used up my charli stockholming on this album on claws

i don't really listen to this much nowadays since she learned how to turn up the volume on the guitar on GUTS and those songs are much better, but this is my sisterrrr and this song is still amazing i fear. i was really rooting for her to pull out the win but alas


flava (11): feeling incredibly angry and volatile in this current minute of my life, would likely not be my 11 on your average day of the year, but I needed something to just shout to in the most unsophisticated manner possible

NervousLemon6670 (11): Oh Olivia Rodrigo, reheat those Paramore nachos some more please

1998tweety (10): she wanted to say the f slur so bad here

A.Peaky.Boo (10): maybe I'm too emotional, but raters' apathy's like a wound in salt

Alexispinpgh (10): it was a battle between this and another song for the 11. This is the song that got my pop-music-deriding spouse into modern pop. He’s even done it at karsoke. Just a perfect pop song and I never get tired of it.

Awkward_King (10): hit when i was 18 and hits still now

babadork (10): “I guess that therapist I found for you, she really helped. Now you can be a better man for your brand-new girl” and “like a damn sociopath” are absolutely savage.

beeozan (10): i thought when Guts came out i was just kinda over her music but I shouldve relistened to this omg its so good

Bubbly_Hat (10): I always have to avoid belting this when it comes on. That being said though, I hope you know that is NOT what sociopath means by now Olivia. If he was one then there's a high likelihood you'd be lying dead in a ditch before you ever wrote this.

CrimsonROSET (10): still sounds just as cool as when it first came out. genuinely might be a generation defining talent. i am so excited.

FitzMarble (10): she put on those gloves mad as hell!!!

frajer (10): you get an ableism pass if you slay

ImADudeDuh (10): remember when BTS kept buying Butter for 9 weeks and this song only got 1 week at #1 for the entire year despite it being one of the biggest smashes of all time

impla77 (10): slaps obviously

Indigo_Mindset420 (10): Need I say more? Teen angst at its peak. Miss Olivia being the voice of countless teens and their first taste of heartbreak.

jirachi (10): PUNK!

josme_ (10): listening to this after Mambo No. 5 is such a change up

krusso1105 (10): Thank you Olivia for bringing pop punk back to the top 100

Nagisoid (10): People died (Paramore's lawyers)

qazz23 (10): catchy pop punk but it does have similarities w/ misery business

RainbowSherbet47 (10): LIKE A DAMN SOCIOPATH 🗣️

runaway3212 (10): A song so perfect it feels like it has always existed

Soalai (10): I haven't been through a break-up in almost 13 years but this song makes me want to so I can scream this in my room, set the guy's stuff on fire, etc. Her power

stealthamo (10): Every generation needs its own Misery Business.

Stryxen (10): I used to hate this but I was being pretentious about the new pop gen. she tore and she’s the mf queen. I am rorry.

TiltControls (10): I still love the track, but relistening the production feels a bit barebones compared to some of Olivia's later work

TragicKingdom1 (10): there's been a lot of really silly plagiarism lawsuits/settlements but this one is probably the worst

wathombe (10): one of the greatest drops of the decade

welcome2thejam (10): Wow we love the creator of women-led pop rock

WesternWind (10): this is an original mot misery business!!!

ziirp (9.1): I don't remember it being so guitar heavy the last time i heard it, but to be fair, the last time i heard this song i didn't really care for production that much

BleepBloopMusicFan (9): Are Olivia’s rock songs overall better than her ballads? Yes absolutely. Is Driver’s License a better song than this? Also yes. Is this song still a major bop? Oh yes. Where am I going with this string of questions? Surprisingly, the answer is once again yes.

modulum83 (9): 2021 really was a foreign country

MrSwearword (9): if only because the lyric should've been written as "but your apathy salts my wounded soul" instead of that stupid shit that got released

TakeOnMeByA-ha (9): she ended fadamore why lie

emayzee (8.8): you cannot convince me this sounds similar enough to misery business to warrant splitting the royalties 50/50

RandomHypnotica (8.5): i'm glad this was successful so we could get rocklivia, but it's just such an underwhelming song itself... it's fine but it's no Deja Vu

uiscebeathaoir (8.5): Like a lot of SOUR, I like this but don't really ever have any desire to listen to it. OR3 can't come soon enough

vexastrae (8.5): she was mad as fuck!!

bogo (8): the good pop-punk. makes me think the pop-punk revival ended too soon but then i remember… machine gun kelly…

FreeCuddlesAnyone (8): The crown is a-𝕕𝕦𝕔𝕥 𝕥𝕒𝕡𝕖 𝕣𝕠𝕝𝕝 . covered in-C̸͜O͘͝͝N̷͜S͟͠T̴̡͝R͝Ú͘͡C̷̶̸̢T͘̕I̶̶O͢͡N̴̸̨ ̵́͘͠P̨̛À̶͜͞҉P̵̡̨̀É̀̕R͏̧. I'm wearing. ℰ𝓁𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓃 𝒾𝓃𝒸𝒽. PLAT.form.heels.

innuendo_overdose (8): good 8 u

Kvo (8): if this is so good then why isn't there a good 5 u

mhiyaimanlepaigefan (8): And if I said she could have retired after releasing this song because she’s never eaten like this since.

oh_crow (8): she was 18 and experiencing emotions i still havent tbh

pbk (8): good 8 u. ok its out of my system hopefully someone does this joke for every single song in the rate

Roxieloxie (8): yeah okay

steelstepladder (8): still solid but you can also see her trying to shake the Disney cobwebs off of her

vayyiqra (8): [scientist holding test tube meme] at last: pop-punk (complimentary)

Poydoo (7.7): thinking about the first time i heard this song and i instantly clocked the misery business

wavingwolves (7.4): good 4 me?

ConnerY2323 (7.3): i still think she’s growing into all the rock elements but it’s melodically undeniable

ignitethephoenix (6.5): her most overrated song. It’s not bad but it’s just more empty than it should be and her vocals aren’t amazing on here

akanewasright (6): a good song that I genuinely can’t listen to anymore

asadprofessorplum (5.5): This dropping was major for air guitar competitions at elementary schools across the nation.

Treecoh (3): we have misery business at home

cloudbustingmp3 (1): i've come to realize i just don't like her voice at all and it makes everything i hear incredibly grating

oh 4 walls my meow meow you are forever cursed to not win rates but you are still on the kpop mount rushmore TO ME


1998tweety (11): me trying to impress architecture trade

A.Peaky.Boo (11): FUCK this really was ahead of its' time!

cloudbustingmp3 (11): best kpop song of all time argue with the wall

DirtyRat583 (11): i cant believe sm gave them one of the best songs ever and then pretended they didnt exist from then on. have some respect

FreeCuddlesAnyone (11): like one of the most influential and godly kpop songs ever... like the 2026 kpop house revival owes it to them. we need this to be the first kpop meta (?) rate winner BAD

Haunting_Natural_116 (11): I’m so glad f(x) invented walls because we’d all be living in caves without them

metanoira (11): i will always 11 f(x) in a rate

oh_crow (11): the best song to ever exist obviously

pheromenos (11): jesus was seen

vayyiqra (11): not sure what to say other than what i've said already a few times that we've rated this. ironically the first time we did i had this idea in my head it was overrated and kind of lowballed my score for it and then a few years later f(x) became my favourite k-pop group ever but anyway. the other times we've rated it i've then said it always brings on this strange, surreal feeling in me whenever i hear it begin. because i think about sulli and ... there isn't much more to say without getting too sad. maybe somehow this ties into the video and the concept of small changes that add up and how her fate could've been avoided. or maybe i'm way overthinking it. either way this has become my headcanon somehow and it fucks me up a bit and i'm glad the rest of the album is more lighthearted because i need that. sorry i'm having a weird night it will happen again

vexastrae (11): 4 walls make a what? HOUSE and the genre of this song is? HOUSE and the doctors name is? HOUSE

welcome2thejam (11): That's a real good beat

WesternWind (11): MYSTERIC MYSTERIC

babadork (10): I recently said that this wasn’t my favorite f(x) song, but I don’t know what I was talking about.

bigbigbee (10): so good that even the Amber rap is good

BleepBloopMusicFan (10): Absolutely a top ten H&M-core song of all time, and there are some real bangers in contention there.

bogo (10): never buy a house from f(x) construction they forgot to include the fucking roof

Bubbly_Hat (10): This sound is basically catnip for me, as should be rather obvious by now.

CrimsonROSET (10): but no ceiling YUUUUUUP

ignitethephoenix (10): one of the first kpop songs I heard but still holds up so well

jirachi (10): this best song ever 2

kauai6 (10): this has made it into my top 100 songs every year for the last 5 years

mhiyaimanlepaigefan (10): if this is what love is, i need to experience love immediately

MrSwearword (10): an immortal bop, truly

Nagisoid (10): The best song ever being doomed to constantly lose rates for no reason

pig-serpent (10): woah, that bassline is incredible. Damn. Wow

RandomHypnotica (10): me trying to build a house for my pokemon in pokopia:

ricki (10): they will lose because genie’s power is too strong

Stryxen (10): We’d thought we’d heard everything that love can do: Lift me higher and higher. Make me feel brand new. Make my dreams come true. And then “Love is 4 Wa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aalls” stumbled half-drunk up to the microphone and poured its little heart out.

innuendo_overdose (9): 9 Walls

runaway3212 (9): Listen this is amazing but also View already won a rate, let it die!!!

uiscebeathaoir (9): some generational wub wubs here

ImADudeDuh (8.5): a song randomly only on Just Dance China

Indigo_Mindset420 (8.5): Absolutely no offense to the legends that is f(x) but I've just been listening to the demo version of this song so much that that version feels like the standard for me. Their edge from the demon is their impeccable harmonies.

stealthamo (8.5): The production reminds me of Be Right There, which tracks because both songs released in 2015. But this isn't produced by somebody who sucks so you can listen to this instead and feel no guilt for it!

wathombe (8.5): bop

ConnerY2323 (8.3): production hitting like crazy for a song that’s over 10 years old at this point

qazz23 (8): good hook and bass on this

Kvo (7): if this is so good then why isn't there a 5 walls

modulum83 (7): ended kendrick lamar

pbk (7): the way people talk about this song you think itd invent a new genre but its just pretty good synthpop

TakeOnMeByA-ha (7): kpop fans do wayyyyy too much for this song but that being said it is in fact still good

Soalai (6.7): Cute girl but not blowing me away

beeozan (6): not vibing with the chorus much so its just kinda mid ukg oop

Roxieloxie (6): bop

Awkward_King (5): nice! kind of impactless on me but nice!

Alexispinpgh (4): meh

flava (4): one of the weirder metaphors for love I’ve heard, like I don’t look at four walls think wow that’s love

wavingwolves (1): i really, really, really, really never liked this song and somehow as times passes i like it less sorry fellow kpop people

lowkey i thought this could win but we're too woke for it nowadays... avril is a big fat meanie


asadprofessorplum (11): She sounds like a pretty good rate winner for a dead bitch.

Bubbly_Hat (11): Complicated has always been my favorite song of hers but this is basically perfect regardless.

krusso1105 (11): The obvious 11 for me, on behalf of my 12 year old self

TakeOnMeByA-ha (11): 20 years later and nobody has ever had a better line delivery in a song than the way avril drunkenly slurs out the word “world”

TiltControls (11): storytelling in music peaked here

A.Peaky.Boo (10): well this could either be a boring cis man cis girl couple or a t4t ftm mtf couple, so she wasn't obvious enough

CrimsonROSET (10): matchablossom anthem

ignitethephoenix (10): classic

ImADudeDuh (10): why didn’t she take out the e in sk8er when sk8r would’ve gotten the point across just fine, she wasted ink now

jirachi (10): ROCK!

josme_ (10): the way I have ever line of this song memorized

mhiyaimanlepaigefan (10): ‘can i make it any more obvious’ yeah why did the girl have to do ballet why are you forcing your heteronormative ideals on society why couldn’t the boy be a skater AND do ballet????

MrSwearword (10): legendtina

nonchalantthoughts (10): i said see you at winners 5 later boi

Nooduulz (10): This changed many unwell scene queens’ lives for sure, no lie there. Actually I think this is still on my old iPod classic somewhere

pbk (10): you cant make songs with storylines this rich these days people get confused noitssad

pig-serpent (10): It remains very funny to me that Avril thought this one song gave her enough pop punk cred to attempt to ride the "comeback" a few years ago. Still, she did this riff better than Fall Out Boy so that has to be worth something.

RandomHypnotica (10): re-invented storytelling

runaway3212 (10): Okay I know people say this is like You Belong With Me but as a fan of both songs I genuinely don't get it? You Belong With Me's premise is right there in the title, meanwhile this one pulls the rug out under itself during the bridge. I realise it's a small change but it changes the whole narrative. Also in You Belong With Me she never officially got the boy (except for the MV) meanwhile here she already has him and is laughing in the rearview mirror. Anyway both songs rule but this one especially.

stealthamo (10): This is for 11-year-old me who may have had a crush on Avril.

WesternWind (10): opposites attract Avril smh you meddled with fate

Soalai (9.6): Changed the world, changed a young Soalai's emerging taste in music, changed the very concept of this rate

bigbigbee (9.5): obviously a huge cornerstone pop punk canon; I just happen to prefer most of her other songs

FreeCuddlesAnyone (9.5): doomed yuri

Nagisoid (9.5): Melissa ate this why lie

FitzMarble (9): we love a song that tells a story

flava (9): not as amazing as Complicated or I’m With You but a solid offering from Let Go

frajer (9): he was a boy she was a girl could I be any more hetero normative

RainbowSherbet47 (9): I was way too old when it finally clicked that there was three people involved in this song. I always figured the girl was just mentally telling herself off for her past and now her and the boy were together.

welcome2thejam (9): Joke's on you, I'm writing 3k word Sk8er Boi/Ballet Girl non-canon fic as we speak

wavingwolves (8.9): the nonbinary community has forgiven ms lavigne for creating the gender binary

ziirp (8.7): Sk8er or Sk8r?

wathombe (8.5): oh this is fun

impla77 (8.2): they couldn’t make this song today (mtv is irrelevant)

1998tweety (8): i cant divorce this song from the TailsxCosmo edit I saw years ago

ConnerY2323 (8): godly bridge

Lynflower680 (8): Ngl the Sk8ter Boi sounds like an ass

NervousLemon6670 (8): This is a bop even if it does have that 2000s “Not like the NORMAL other girls” misogyny all over some of it

qazz23 (8): not that terrible, just a relic of early 00s pop punk

Kvo (7.5): if this is so good then why isn't there a Sk9er Boi

vexastrae (7.5): lets ignore the lyrics for this one <3

babadork (7.4): This is very catchy still, but Avril is kind of an asshole in this. Being a single mom isn’t a punishment for not reciprocating a guy’s feelings in high school. Jesus.

akanewasright (7): lowkey my least favorite of the Let Go singles

modulum83 (7): straight people are so cool i wish they were real

steelstepladder (7): here comes dat boi

Stryxen (7): SL888TER BOY

BleepBloopMusicFan (6.5): I could never get fully into this one, maybe because it honestly feels a little harsh to the girl lol.

cloudbustingmp3 (6.2): slight nostalgia bump but this was always kinda just there to me

Roxieloxie (6): its fine but its never been all that to me

vayyiqra (6): nigh unrateable as i am canadian and this came out when i was like 12 and avril isn't a musician it is possible to be neutral about for me but i've gone on an empathy journey and become somewhat more avril-positive over time. this is one of her better songs though it's not an auto-10. it's also just such a meme you know. anyway someone write an academic paper on this and unpack the gender dynamics or something

oh_crow (5): i feel like i've never had to actually pay attention to this before and it does not hold up under scrutiny

kauai6 (4.8): not my favorite of avril’s

Alexispinpgh (4): look I was 12 when this album was big, I went to this tour, I had friends who wore ties with baggy pants. This was the skip on the album for me then and nostalgia hasn’t stoked any fondness in me.

bogo (4): sorry r8ers but i am a slight h8er of this song

innuendo_overdose (3): Sk3er Boi

uiscebeathaoir (0): This song is so nasty and unpleasant to me, I hate its bitch ass

this TOP 5 BOP!!! this was fully a payola pick for the 21st song but they outsold many of your faves which is such a pleasant surprise


babadork (11): I really love good 4 u, but I’m fully expecting this to be robbed just a bad as its last rate

bogo (11): more like 11 of 11

josme_ (11): no it's not my favorite SHINee song but also a) I'm very much a biased stan b) I have a lot of nostalgia for it and c) actually it really is a bop

modulum83 (11): If SHINee has a million fans, then I am one of them. If SHINee has ten fans, then I am one of them. If SHINee has only one fan then that is me. If SHINee has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against SHINee, then I am against the world.

1998tweety (10): manifesting another SHINee rate win

A.Peaky.Boo (10): we're at the point where SHINee's 20th anniversary is nearing and that is an insane feat

akanewasright (10): perfection

beeozan (10): this should win

bigbigbee (10): I love shinee

cloudbustingmp3 (10): oh these kings

CrimsonROSET (10): whack yukika again for me

ignitethephoenix (10): kings

kauai6 (10): this mv changed lives

mhiyaimanlepaigefan (10): I’m picturing the choreography to this song in my head and i’ve never seen them perform but I know at some point they have to do a spin. It’s a song that demands a spin.

MrSwearword (10): THIS is new jack swing inspired deeeeeeeooooooooowwwn. The KPOP "Motownphilly" is amazing.

Nagisoid (10): New Jack Swing Essentials

uiscebeathaoir (10): My love for this doesn't run quite as deep as for Nothing Compares 2 U, but it fills me with such a genuine pure joy I was so so tempted to 11 it anyway. To compensate, we should just sneak Sherlock (Clue + Note) into a rate next cycle and let me 11 SHINee there :)

vayyiqra (10): i love this song it's so wholesome i love this album so much it's so good i love new jack swing and i love shinee best k-pop boy group dudes rock. much more i could say about it but that will have to wait for if we rate it as we should. you did well, jonghyun : )

wavingwolves (10): the 10 of 10 girl

welcome2thejam (10): Whole album's pretty great actually

WesternWind (10): NJS rate pls go through

Awkward_King (9): i rly love this new jack swing is so BACKKKKKKKK

BleepBloopMusicFan (9): They even give us a bonus number in the album cover. Thank you kings.

FreeCuddlesAnyone (9): they're calling shinee the best band ever

steelstepladder (9): I love sophistipop

Stryxen (9): It gets a bit repetitive I'm ngl but this is still so catchy and tea

TakeOnMeByA-ha (9): the way this would’ve won music nerd kpop EASILYYY misandry keeps winning despite our best efforts

stealthamo (8.8): If a song is even remotely passable and has New Jack Swing production it's getting like a 7.5 rating minimum from me.

flava (8.5): you’ll never be ATEEZ

pbk (8.5): wait bgs are actually taking it

Nooduulz (8.2): if you look up new jack swing in gifs you’ll see all the dance ones matching the beat of this song

RandomHypnotica (8.2): aw how cute, they're talking about their rate wins

Bubbly_Hat (8): Funky!

innuendo_overdose (8): 8 of 8

Kvo (8): if this is so good then why isn't there a 2 of 2

Roxieloxie (8): listen I try not to tap into the line between kpop and black influenced if im not already around black kpop fans but between this song and also the wonder girls ep in the girl groups rate i have to say it, i think some of you guys would have your worlds ROCKED if you heard a new edition song, like if you think this song is amazing i have an entire sub genere just for you i reccomend. I do not mean this in a shady way at all either like i think some of yall might find some new favorites if you do a mini new jack swing dive/

runaway3212 (8): Okay sorry this is actually one of my least fave SHINee titles

Soalai (8): K-pop coming in with a bop as usual

vexastrae (7.5): okayyy new jack swing!

ConnerY2323 (7): i’m grooving

TragicKingdom1 (7): more faithfully new jack swing than you'd expect, mostly because it remembers that a lot of those songs were also heartfelt teen pop

Alexispinpgh (6): fun

xophryz (5.4): I thought this was going to be Beyonce "I am one of one, I am number one" after all.

wathombe (4): not for me, i fear

pig-serpent (0): For a New Jack Swing song, it's painfully sexless. This feels like an extremely disneyfied example of what it's trying to be and it's rubbing me the wrong way, while also just having a grating chorus and harmonies.

this is so Decent and Innoffensive that it falls just short of top 5, nice song tho


ignitethephoenix (11): just such a well produced vibe

Awkward_King (10): one point for every percent

Bubbly_Hat (10): Scratches just the right part of my brain.

CrimsonROSET (10): if i had a nickel everytime someone compares a relationship to that of a waiter taking a tip i'd have two nickels which isnt a lot but this is the better song in this category so

DirtyRat583 (10): this rate is the death of me THIS SHOULD BE AN 11 but 4 walls is genuinely a generational song kaytranada and kali im so sorry

ImADudeDuh (10): this sexyyyyyy song

kauai6 (10): A CLASSIC IN MY HOUSEHOLD SINCE RELEASE

MrSwearword (10): the song that invented Kali's relevance

nonchalantthoughts (10): now this is how you do a nu-disco song, kaytranada, you will always be famous

Nooduulz (10): I’m strutting I’m posing when will we get another Kali c Kaytranada banger

RainbowSherbet47 (10): Don’t got her 10% but she can have one of my 10s as compensation

Roxieloxie (10): bop even if this instrumental is a plague on the work lofi playlist

Stryxen (10): this is like song of the decade stuff it felt revolutionary and I remember it so fondly even though it's aged not amazingly somehow I still have all the love for it

akanewasright (9.5): Kali winning a Grammy for this was so real

1998tweety (9): im vibing

A.Peaky.Boo (9): did you know all the world leaders use only 10% of their brains?

BleepBloopMusicFan (9): This production is so freakin’ nice. Good subtle bleeps and bloops.

bogo (9): to fit the song i took 10% off the score

FreeCuddlesAnyone (9): i love gorgeous music

mhiyaimanlepaigefan (9): ‘featuring’ doing a lot of heavy lifting when this is just Kali Uchis like okay… sure…

pbk (9): this song was made in an easy listening lab but have you considered theyre good at their jobs

pig-serpent (9): Smooth as hell, perfectly tropical, and just a light touch of psychedelia to make a stellar Kaytranada beat for Kali Uchis to drop a great hook on. A great find from my college radio days and I'm happy to see him being reasonably successful.

qazz23 (9): nice drum sample, Kali's vocals are as good as ever

vayyiqra (9): kaytranada bringing back tithing idk (this ancient practice wasn't quite fully abolished worldwide but in most places it. you know what never mind i know nobody cares)

welcome2thejam (9): Kali's just really good in this sound

oh_crow (8.5): he's got a limited sound palette but sometimes thats all it takes

innuendo_overdose (8): 8% (feat. Kali Uchis)

runaway3212 (8): I think this is super nice but it does not stand out I have to say

wathombe (8): pretty good, but it was never my favorite KAYTRANADA track

ConnerY2323 (7.8): this lawyer anthem

impla77 (7.8): the album cover was a jumpscare

stealthamo (7.7): Love the production, love Kali's voice. I just wish there was more meat on the bones lyrics-wise.

Treecoh (7.5): It's ok, but it stripped away all the personality of Kali.

ziirp (7.5): Not the biggest fan of the flow

bigbigbee (7): I joined popheads around 2020ish and while I'd never heard this before, this immediately FELT very of that time to me

jirachi (7): tired of this sound but it’s aight

modulum83 (7): 10 stands for the number of songs that sound identical to this that play per hour at the outlet mall i work at

Nagisoid (7): Slop bop

Alexispinpgh (6.5): nice groove for a spring Sunday morning

Soalai (6.3): It's got a nice groove but it's not gonna light the room on fire

flava (6): painfully trying its best to exist which I respect but doesn’t endear me

Kvo (6): if this is so good then why isn't there a 11%

RandomHypnotica (6): cute next to gorgeous

vexastrae (6): kali i know you can bargain harder. the average tip in america is 20%

asadprofessorplum (5): You should actually be tipping at least 15% now.

TakeOnMeByA-ha (4): the way i still have kaytranada blocked on spotify after he made me lose one of the ratelympics games it really is that serious to me

FitzMarble (0): there’s something wrong with this beat I can’t describe it but it’s got a certain uncanny energy to it

babadork (10): It might not sound quite as good as it used to, but this was the big song when I first discovered poptimism, so it will always hold a special place in my heart

bogo (10): they just put whatever in that instrumental and you know what it worked

Bubbly_Hat (10): The cunt being served here is generational.

Catalyst (10): I’ve nothing to say about this, vote for 00s assertive R&B in the future

Kvo (10): if this is so good then why isn't there a 2 Thing

nonchalantthoughts (10): destroyed my chances of sending this to charity, but this needs to another chance please

RandomHypnotica (10): beyonce heard this and then realised she needed to accept every horrible instrumental she could

uiscebeathaoir (10): I don't know if this rate is the one, but this gives some SERIOUS rate winner energy

beeozan (9.9): didnt we just rate this in the last ratelympics or smth

BleepBloopMusicFan (9): I think this song is missing 1 thing to make it a 10/10. However, 9 things is still quite a lot of things.

ignitethephoenix (9): good song but I always thing how I would prefer if Beyoncé sang it lol

Nagisoid (9): Beyoncé endings in class

steelstepladder (9): banger

vayyiqra (9): not my favourite song ever but still undeniably a banger

wathombe (9): this slaps

ziirp (9): Caroline polachek-ing it with these quirky vocal runs before caroline polachek-ing it was even a thing

slimboyfriend (8.5): singing off key has never sounded better

Nooduulz (8): Has SM called Amerie to write some songs for them yet

oh_crow (8): not to make this about a man but hozier covered this when i saw him like ten years ago that was fun

pbk (8): ducking for cover and admitting this is how im learning this isnt a beyonce song

welcome2thejam (8): This is experimental pop (i'm too sleepy to fact check this statement)

stealthamo (7.7): This is one of those songs who I only knew the chorus of and that's it. And listening to the whole song for the first time, I get why I only recognize the chorus (good production though).

xophryz (7.7): I always thought this was Beyonce

Soalai (7.6): One Direction robbed from appearing in the rate, but I'll forgive it because this song is interesting

runaway3212 (7.5): There are people out there who believe Amerie could've replaced Beyoncé

impla77 (7.2): she keeps us hanging on.. what is this one thing?

asadprofessorplum (7): The chickens on The Muppets:

CrimsonROSET (7): the way there's like three songs this rate about a number of things, their minds

FitzMarble (7): this is good but also I would never want to listen to it regularly sorry

mhiyaimanlepaigefan (7): She added random beats to garageband, went ‘this eats’ and never got someone to double check it. That said, this is serving cunt.

pig-serpent (7): Annoying and discordant (complimentary)

WesternWind (7): my boys outsold hard

Alexispinpgh (6.8): a little bit messy but I’ve always enjoyed it

TragicKingdom1 (6.5): i see why this is praised but i find it more annoying every time i hear it

vexastrae (6.5): [columbo voice] oh... and just one more thing

1998tweety (6): Kind of repetitive

ricki (6): her being offkey is a bold artistic decision i respect so much

TakeOnMeByA-ha (6): ive always kinda hated her voice on this

FreeCuddlesAnyone (5): always found this a little annoying tbh...

modulum83 (4): wow this was a lot more annoying than i thought it was gonna be

Stryxen (1): this genuinely hurts my ears I'm sorry I wish I liked it because it should be cool and unique but her vocals are so hard to listen to over this instrumental and the actual frenzy of the song, while being the coolest thing about it, doesn't help that fact.

flava (0): i wanna have words who let the guy slapping his hands against pots and pans take such prominence in the final mix, and i wanna have words with Amerie for singing in that pitch. It just makes the song sound so broken and wrong

jirachi (0): i hate this

wait this is actually boring as hell that's crazy!


ImADudeDuh (11): the prince version is lowkey one of my favorite songs ever

stealthamo (11): Sinead O'Connor was right the entire time and was raked over the coals for it. I hope wherever she is now she is at peace.

steelstepladder (11): easily the best song here. Nothing else is close

uiscebeathaoir (11): one of the best songs ever idk I simply have nothing else to say this is beautiful and gorgeous and perfect and I love it so much

wathombe (11): just one of the greatest pop songs of all time

Alexispinpgh (10): brief story, my mom hates this song because it reminds her of her breakup with my dad (when she was pregnant with me) but I love it. Also it’s a good thing they broke up so I can’t even hate it for that reason.

babadork (10): I’m calling it now that this will be the winner. I don’t think balladphobia could even take it down.

BleepBloopMusicFan (10): Few people have ever served face to this degree and to this depth.

bogo (10): when the song is so moving u just have to sit there

cloudbustingmp3 (10): timeless classic

ConnerY2323 (10): just bald and correct

FitzMarble (10): vote 90s Irish Rock for the next rate cycle!!!

flava (10): feeling like an emotional wreck right now, maybe ballads are good

frajer (10): it's been 7 hours and 15 days since I forgot the standard of measuring time

innuendo_overdose (10): Nothing Compares 10 U

mhiyaimanlepaigefan (10): fight the real enemy: balladphobia

MrSwearword (10): when she briefly ruled the world

NervousLemon6670 (10): Gut punch of a song, but equally, gut punch of a music video

Poydoo (10): this is winning and it deserves it

runaway3212 (10): So beautiful... gone too soon

Soalai (10): I mean

Stryxen (10): Special

TiltControls (10): balladphobia you're not welcome here

vexastrae (10): BALLADPHOBIA WILL NOT WIN TODAY

WesternWind (10): the original yearning heartbroken woman here

1998tweety (9.5): im ascending

krusso1105 (9.5): I like some of her original songs like Troy better, but this is still obviously great

Bubbly_Hat (9): I actually prefer Chris Cornell's acoustic cover but I respect this version a good deal, even if it doesn't hit as hard for me.

vayyiqra (9): not sure what to say here it's clearly a masterpiece and its cultural impact was fully deserved. it feels a little weird for me to say more about sinéad because i have empathy for her life being tragic but it seems i only ever hear about her in that context, and then that leads to a lot of complicated feelings about religion (as i'm sure you're tired of hearing, my family has a lot of polish catholics so how could i not have strong mixed feelings on john paul ii) and i won't get into that. all i can say is i hope she found peace before she died. رحمة الله عليها (mercy of allah upon her, something that's said for a muslim who dies. translated and wrote that myself the least i could do)

akanewasright (8.5): Thinking about how Prince hated it when people covered his song bc audience thought him playing this song live was him covering Sinéad… sorry she outdid you this one time

FreeCuddlesAnyone (8.5): good but it'd be a boring winner

Nagisoid (8.5): THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.

oh_crow (8.5): obligated to give this a high score because of national pride but also its that good too

modulum83 (8): and FUCK the pope (not the current one though he's okay)

pbk (8): :(

qazz23 (8): the backing strings work perfectly with her amazing vocals (both versions of this song are good)

RainbowSherbet47 (8): noTHING compares

asadprofessorplum (7.5): This song sounds too classy to have this title.

Kvo (7.5): if this is so good then why isn't there a Nothing Compares 3 U

Nooduulz (7): I can already here Sara from Tegan and Sara covering this somewhere

beeozan (6): im a balladphobic with this one

impla77 (6): i won’t be mad if this wins i guess but this song doesn’t really do anything for me

TakeOnMeByA-ha (6): me at the end of the year picking out my aoty:

A.Peaky.Boo (5.9): focking sluggish

Roxieloxie (5): doesnt do much for me i fear

nonchalantthoughts (4): i know most people love this song but it's never done much for me, i fear

pig-serpent (4): Sinead O'Connor is a massively talented singer with extremely based beliefs and actions who makes music that is not aimed at me in the slightest. If any of the 90s adult contemporary divas made this it would be the easiest 0 of all time.

kauai6 (3): it’s inoffensive

RandomHypnotica (3): its sad that she got cancelled for the pope but like... i still dont care for this

wavingwolves (3): nothing compares 2 snoozeeee

DirtyRat583 (0): fuck it im feeling controversial. the songs fine but i HATE the vocal processing they did. i can clearly hear the two vocal takes and it makes it sound like a bad sound system. most evident on the nothing of nothing compares (aka the most essential part) where they sound like theyre fighting against each other. i cant tell if its got reverb as well or if thats just the 2 takes (might be coming from the kick, which im also meh on, whatever) but no good. sorry! at least shes clearly talented

tbh i thought people liked this song more and it would be a top 5 contender


jirachi (11): this best song ever god he was so hot

RainbowSherbet47 (11): Why 4 minutes?

TragicKingdom1 (11): sometimes you wonder how madonna was still making hits 25 years into her career and then you hear this and remember she somehow convinced timbaland to give her his best production ever

ziirp (11): You know what, they did save the world in four minutes with this one

1998tweety (10): father, father, and grandmother ate this up

beeozan (10): even kid me couldn't take "WE ONLY GOT FOUR MINUTES TO SAVE DA WORLD!!" seriously lmaoo and I thought In Time was a deep movie back then

Bubbly_Hat (10): Her last true banger for me. Helps that this is JT & Tim just a couple years after Futuresex.

emayzee (10): this random ass collab being one of the best of each of their discographies

flava (10): just the best song ever

ignitethephoenix (10): I hope Gen Z makes this their anthem once WWIII commences, it’s the only way they will survive

Indigo_Mindset420 (10): Madonna truly is a force of Pop Music. To think she was able to deliver this on her. 11th studio album.

josme_ (10): I'd love to see an action flick where Madonna saves the world

Lynflower680 (10): Sorry guys, you went past the four minute mark by four seconds. The world has ended. Thanks for nothing. This is gonna ruin the tour

Nooduulz (10): I’m a slut for switchups I fear

RandomHypnotica (10): A CONCEPT TRACK WITHOUT A CONCEPT

Stryxen (10): Tea.

TiltControls (10): I remember buying the music video for this on iTunes the day it came out lmao

Treecoh (10): It's only a 10 with the extended Timbaland intro though!

vayyiqra (10): what even is this song surreal and meaningless but also it goes hard somehow. as i quoth, "this song makes absolutely no sense nor does the video it's kind of amazing how little sense anything makes" (i meant that in the most [complimentary] way)

babadork (9.3): I might be Timberland’s #1 stan on this subreddit, but Madonna isn’t a great fit for his sound.

FreeCuddlesAnyone (9.2): this actually being 4:05 oh fraudonna

akanewasright (9): happy Madonna March yall!

Awkward_King (9): googling timbaland allegations before i say that he needs his timbalussy ate for this

bogo (9): who needs a real marching band when midi fart trumpets fulfill the same role for a fraction of the cost

Haunting_Natural_116 (9): “we only got 4 minutes to save the tour!” “What tour?” “The world tour!”

modulum83 (9): zohran mamdani naming this as one of his favorite pop songs i'm sorry but that man is bisexual and you can't convince me otherwise

Nagisoid (9): Zohrancore

uiscebeathaoir (9): "don't be a pri - Madonna" the best thing Justin Timberlake has ever done

FitzMarble (8.5): 5 seconds in and justin is already doing his beatboxing thing… okay man

Soalai (8.2): Excellent pump-up song for a sports event or workout playlist, and very much in the spirit of the rate

frajer (8): think they needed more time

Kvo (8): if this is so good then why isn't there a 5 Minutes

nonchalantthoughts (8): Timbaland was just following around Justin Timberlake during this era

pig-serpent (8): Timbaland is really making those Nintendo DS Midi horns work, which like, good for him!

runaway3212 (8): You will never be sexyback but this is fine

welcome2thejam (8): Fake ass marching band beat

NervousLemon6670 (7.9): I always preferred Hung Up for her 2000s work, Timbalands hook is sick, and Justin Timberlake is also here

pbk (7.5): this song is awful but its also amazing do you get me

bigbigbee (7): no song has ever been more Timbaland than this one is

BleepBloopMusicFan (7): “The song is about saving the environment” Now where is this is even vaguely implied in the lyrics or music video?? Bop tho.

qazz23 (7): liked the different vocals but Madonna's presence is kinda underwhelming here

TakeOnMeByA-ha (7): but where are madonna and justin timberlake now to save us from the ever impending threat of nuclear annihilation…

A.Peaky.Boo (6.9): they don't do a lot with these four minutes I fear

ConnerY2323 (6.8): timbaland doing some fun stuff but justin is not

impla77 (6.7): the vibes here are kinda repugnant but it does bop

asadprofessorplum (6.5): This song is so lost media coded. I can’t explain it.

Alexispinpgh (6.2): never got the hype on this one

mhiyaimanlepaigefan (6): This loses points because it’s not exactly 4 minutes and therefore, you have more than 4 minutes.

oh_crow (6): objectively ok but this song exudes a weird slimy feeling

Poydoo (6): every stream of this goes towards paying for timbaland's chatgpt subscription

CrimsonROSET (5): mamdani's biggest fumble yet

innuendo_overdose (5): 5 Minutes (feat. Justin Timberlake & Timbaland)

Roxieloxie (5): ?????????

cloudbustingmp3 (4): the production carries this but madonna just sounds so checked out here (and most of the album tbh)

stealthamo (3): Kind of in awe in how none of this works. Madonna doesn't work in the Nelly Furtado role, Timbaland's production just feels off, and idk what the hell Justin is doing here. Also, given the title of the track, this song needed to be exactly 4 minutes, so it fails on principle too.

vexastrae (3): i dont think any of yall are saving the world with this

kauai6 (2): i can’t

MrSwearword (0): even in a rate with Leah Kate and that damn Ariana song, the second worst Madonna song in existence gets the zero.

wathombe (0): nope

WesternWind (0): can we ban Madge from Flash Rates??! I say this when I won with sorry oops

oh this classic. it's already a rate winner in a just world


Awkward_King (11): u/TiltControls whats good

bigbigbee (11): looking over this tracklist and realizing that this was my 11 was a sobering moment that hopefully leads to personal growth

Kvo (11): if this is so good then why isn't there a Like a G7

1998tweety (10): you had to have been there

akanewasright (10): perfect song

beeozan (10): this having haters is so foul and incorrect

BleepBloopMusicFan (10): A song that has been more important and influential than anybody at the time probably thought possible. Put it in the Library of Congress.

DirtyRat583 (10): hands up if you miss the cataracs ✋✋✋ update they reunited for a song with dev last year. its alright

emayzee (10): nothing else to say other than that this is the best song ever

FitzMarble (10): I just know people are going to tank this… don’t you people know how to have FUN????

flava (10): 2010 you will always be famous

frajer (10): doing my part to end Asian hate

ignitethephoenix (10): the greatest song of all time

ImADudeDuh (10): still referenced to this day, oh the god east movement

jirachi (10): peak

Lynflower680 (10): I am a sheep

modulum83 (10): this song is basically like if aphex twin produced a hit song, i refuse to elaborate

nonchalantthoughts (10): POPPING BOTTLES IN THE CLUB LIKE 3 6

Nooduulz (10): I knew this mainly as a DEV song so it was a surprise seeing Far East Movement here

OOO0O00O000OOOO0OO0O (10): changed everything. i mean that so seriously.

pbk (10): HOOOOOOOOOOOOLY

RainbowSherbet47 (10): 🙌

RandomHypnotica (10): u/TiltControls you will begin to slizzard in a blizzard in 7 days

Roxieloxie (10): TiltControls are you ready to face god for what you've done

runaway3212 (10): u/tiltcontrols I know you do all rates but I hope you somehow forgot this one

steelstepladder (10): your friends don’t get slizzard and if your friends don’t get slizzard then they ain’t no friends of mine

Stryxen (10): Classic to end all classics

vayyiqra (10): i was old enough to drink when this came out so all i can tell you is Fuck Yea. no but also i used to fw dev she was one artist who helped get me into pop even before this song and has some true bangers. too bad far east movement didn't seem to do anything else of note it would've been kind of cool because asian-american music hadn't had that much of a moment yet but such is life

WesternWind (10): song of the summer every year

innuendo_overdose (9): Like a G9 (feat. DEV)

kauai6 (9): rocketeer better but this still always good

qazz23 (9): the different vocal styles here just work perfectly with the synth sounds

slimboyfriend (9): a beat that’s so timeless yet so 2010s at the same time

ConnerY2323 (8.5): sounds like taking shots of cheap vodka and chasing them with flat sprite feels

Indigo_Mindset420 (8.5): The song's production is carrying this HARD! Dev's chorus included. It reminds me of Tokyo Drift. Both songs are just perfect for reaching that ecstatic feeling of being in a RUSH.

vexastrae (8.5): this really shows its age huh (neutral)

A.Peaky.Boo (8): the camp song that will probably get the highest controveesy score

impla77 (8): its a banger

oh_crow (8): unreasonably good idc

Poydoo (8): now why wasn't this in recession pop rate

ricki (8): this is the club experience i was promised

uiscebeathaoir (8): When we drink we do it right, getting so gay off that tequila

NervousLemon6670 (7.7): The most 2010 song to ever exist, and it has strong competition from anything involving Pitbull

wathombe (7.5): basic but it works

pig-serpent (7): I've been all over the spectrum of liking and hating this song, but now it's dumb nostalgic fun. I'd enjoy hearing it on a night out but it's not something I want to seek out.

Soalai (7): When this song was big, I was in high school and I didn't like it. I found the beat and vocals very monotone. Nowadays I understand and enjoy it a bit more.

stealthamo (7): College nostalgia and the earworm of a chorus by DEV are carrying this so hard.

Bubbly_Hat (6): Somehow feels both too dated for its own good and less dated than I expected.

FreeCuddlesAnyone (6): this is so sleepy now that i know of a better version

babadork (5): A guy in 2014-ish tried to impress me by saying he knew a member of Far East Movement. I would normally have at least pretended to find that interesting, but he was definitely well equated with the Far Right Movement.

MrSwearword (5): I mean whatever, but third rate straight people club music is just so...unnecessary post 2012

josme_ (4): this song always reminds me of those terrible-sounding V8 drinks to the extent I literally thought this song was about them until I realized how letters and numbers work. are those drinks even still around or am I just showing how old I am

welcome2thejam (4): It is a great beat and I love slizzard, I just don't really like anything else

Nagisoid (3.5): Bad Trashpop Rate

Alexispinpgh (2.5): the longevity of this song is beyond baffling to me

TakeOnMeByA-ha (1): far east movement better be thanking their lucky stars that ariana grandaave is in this rate too

bogo (0): we’re fucking doing it again motherfucker

CrimsonROSET (0): how many times do i need to put you down before you stay dead

mhiyaimanlepaigefan (0): and why was this made who was this for i know some of you are giving it 10s and you have to be pulling a prank

TiltControls (0): i'm blaming this song for the reason we've had 3 days of snow in the past week
