Understood! She's out; Sophie EB can take her place! (and If You Go can be top five, as it was meant.)

And ALSO throw in Jordin.

2007 MTW could be split similarly...

 

1) Blackout v. GGGB v. Dignity v. X v. not her

2) Crazy Ex-Girlfriend v. The Reminder v. Kala v. White Chalk v. Volta

3) My December v. The Best Damn Thing v. Growing Pains v. Just Like You v. Because I Love It

 

 

Happy to put myself down for any of these for some point in the future btw

That requires someone doing #1 AND #2 first. Would, though, obvs.

 

And WHERE are we putting Taking Chances?

Wait hold on now

 

Blackout

Dignity

Good Girl Gone Bad

Trip the Light Fantastic

X

 

What if I said we threw in Club Disco too? Let's have a Minogue-off @Ace Reject 

 

Alternatively, there's Brave but... Let's be serious

We'd also be missing a trick not capitalising off of recent events btw maybe she should be included in part 3 or something

Yep! That's part one of 2007 covered then. (Danielle Jane would get eaten alive!!!)

 

Tempted to make part 3 all Idol/X-Factor all the time, but that would included MAGAwood... someone would have to go home first! (That would be Leona, as Carnival Ride is Carrie's best.)

Reviving rate culture! To rate all the same albums over again.

Deserved! The Dutchess is a banger.

Tagging all our old besties with an equal chance of drawing them back or reaffirming why they stay gone

I can see a three-parter for 2006!

 

1) B'day v. I'm Not Dead v. Loose v. The Duchess v. The Sweet Escape

 

2) Alright Still v. Back to Black v. Corinne Bailey Rae v. Fox Confessor Brings The Flood versus either The Greatest or Ys

 

3) A Public Affair v. Back to Basics v. Oral Fixation Vol 2 v. Taylor Swift v. The Evolution

 

Yeah, that feels right and just!

Why happened in the past decade that made you swap the lineups?

Time. Also, started by people like @naval23, I've come to see that people (younger than us) really view Gwen/Nelly/Fergie as a trinity of their own - mid00s pop girls who were the bridge between generations. Feels right to pair them together now!

 

And, conversely, what's befallen Legend X...

Also, no pressure, but have you thought about what TW2025 will look like? (Assuming we're all alive in six months.) Like, what's critically acclaimed?

 

Or, will you do the pop girls and Sombr and call it a day?

I see sombr I floor it

 

TW2025 with Oklou, Erika, maybe Twigs?, Addison...

Oh because I'm sure you of all people are sooo mad at the prospect of rating Blackout again

I know that album is flawless. We all know that album is flawless. Pitting it against inferior works isn't going to change my mind at this point.

 

I'm more excited about the ideas for something entirely new that have been pitched so far! I'll learn so much when I finally get around to International Madonnas.

Might have to cancel the franchise because this year has given us nothing!

Let me bear this in mind because when it comes to niche and esoteric rate ideas, you know I have them in abundance

We don't even have to get that niche! Ladies of Jazz was such a fun exploration of a genre I had never dipped into in any depth. I'm down for highlighting more legendary artists and classic albums, instead of (or at least in addition to) revisiting stuff we're done before. We batted around a bunch of interesting ideas a couple of months ago.
