suburbannature Posted March 2 Posted March 2 (edited) I don't want to do it, but someone should do an Aaliyah rate including her soundtracks/rare tracks @Melancholy do it edit: maybe @Saddy could do it since it has been a couple of years and the other one was limited in songs?

I remember asking about doing it again but with "all" of her songs, but someone told me I should wait a little longer (it was 2 or 3 years ago?) @Ace Reject what do you say? can we do it now?

Supa will be doing THIS WAS 2023 - I'll let him introduce the options. So, there are a few others up for play, and I'd love for you to host one: THIS WAS ALT-POP 2023 Sufjan Stevens Lana Del Rey Kelela Caroline Polachek Mitski THIS WAS POP 2023 (1) Miley Cyrus Jessie Ware Kylie Minogue Carly Rae Jepsen On 2/8/2024 at 12:19 AM, Ace Reject said: TWP 2023 (2) Troye Sivan Tate McRae PinkPantheress RAYE On 2/8/2024 at 12:19 AM, Ace Reject said: THIS WAS R&B 2023 On 2/8/2024 at 12:19 AM, Ace Reject said: Tinashe Chloe Kali Uchis Janelle Monae (Take careful look at who's not mentioned - and they'll be in supa's rate. ) Carly Rae Jepsen in for TWPOP 2023 - PinkPantheress in for the second edition! We have to get back to doing rates - there's only one at the moment! And rate on CURRENT music that bring us together! Do I have to get this party started? Or does @supaspaz with THIS WAS 2023?
Graves Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Hosting rates is hard! and the lower voter turnout compared to back in the day makes it hard to justify all that work sometimes, unless you're real passionate about it! I prefer discog rates myself, but I could maybe see hosting the Troye / Kylie / Jessie / Carly thing if I'm not too busy.
greento Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Yeh hosting Pop 2022 was a lot of effort but it was enjoyable. I happened to love all 4 albums before hosting it so i didn't mind putting in the effort, plus it got a pretty good turn out for today's standards from what i have seen. I definitely would like to host another rate at some point but it would have to include music i am passionate about and none of the 2023 options really interest me. I'd be more up for a specific artist's discog/singles rate.

Suilen Posted March 6 Posted March 6 I managed to finish my preparations for the Sheena rate earlier than expected, can I start it? I don't think that it will interfere with This Was 2023 much, and I'll try to participate in that one too.

I remember hosting a rate with 300+ songs in 2020 and it had like 60+ voters and that would never happen today lol 1
Graves Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Maybe, to revive a bit of interest and flair in rates, it's time to start the re-do of the classic rates that we were brainstorming about years ago. You know: 4 v Born This Way v Femme Fatale / '90s Rebellion Rate / In the Zone v Stripped v Dangerously In Love / other fun stuff. It's been over a decade since a lot of these rates! Could have one classic rate run concurrently with one or two new rates - like, I'd certainly take a crack at the TW Pop lineup I mentioned a few posts, but I also would looooove to do the Music/All For You/Fever rate again We could even throw ol' Celine's album from that time in for a punching bag if need be.

Yes, I love this idea! We could expand the '11 by adding 21 and Talk That Talk!

And make 97 and 98 editions of MAKES THE WOMAN! Yes! @Suilen go ahead and start!
Kool_Aid_King Posted March 15 Posted March 15 @Ace Reject My rate is completed! Spoiler Only Girl (in the World) won!
Suilen Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Could the Sheena rate get pinned, at least until the deadline, pretty please? I'm getting the ballots but would like to maximize the reach without having to tag every individual fan in the wild.

Achilles. Posted April 6 Posted April 6 I think Troye has enough of a catalog for a discography rate by now, doesn't he? Would also love to do something with Dolly Parton, but IDK how we'd do song selection for that one. She has 198 singles! Even limited to top 50 hits on the country charts, it'd be like 78 songs and still miss some essentials / late career work after she aged out of the charts (but not out of making quality material!).
Saddy Posted April 7 Posted April 7 @Ace Reject hey, honey! Question, can I do Aaliyah rate? The last one was 2 years ago (or maybe 3 idr) but it was limited, there were only songs from studio albums. Now I want to make an extended one with soundtrack, features and maybe even unreleased/rare songs.

I believe so, and... yes. How would we handle Dolly/
MP2K Posted May 1 Posted May 1 There's such a divide rn in Hip-Hop...There's enough for us to do an All-Female Rap Collaborations Rate, maybe two installments even don't you think? @Ace Reject The WAPs vs the princess dianas vs the ladies firsts of the world.

MP2K Posted May 2 Posted May 2 Just now, Ace Reject said: Oh, sure! I'm down to do it early July if not too far away.
