We're actually going to get the rate up and running exactly one day after the album drops, as is tradition now

Streaming the new album while the old projects get knocked out one by one... I see the vision

While we're here, I need to speak my truth: being allowed to give a 12 in a rate is so uncouth

Real Genders: 11, 1 - 10, 0

Mental Illness: 15, 14, 12, 10.5, -1

"10.25, 10.5, 10.75"

and he will press submit reply in 2-3 business days

@Florence Belch be like for this rate you can give your favorite song a score of 10,000 and you can have your least favorite song removed from every streaming platform.

nvm

And if I said I would take part in a Ms. Kelly vs. Unexpected vs. Lady Love rate

Someone suggested a 2008 Destiny's Chilren rate in the current 2006 rate thread. Sasha Fierce, Ms. Kelly Deluxe and Unexpected. Lady Love was 2009.

Ohhh gospel. The last time I listened to Gospel music was Lady Saw from the International Madonna rate who's a former full on sexualize rapper turned gospel singer so that's something...

Yeah, I guess a focus on her pop era would be better, I'm just curious if there are enough tracks to constitute a rate from that era. Hopefully there are enough.

Well her pop era was 2008-11 and there are some officially unreleased leaks. She also did features during that time which I'm including and I've included only some of those remixes too (the Ultra Nate collab has like 20 mixes in total ). So far over 40 songs.

There's also some fire unreleased mixes (some of which were due for a shelved remix album but they're LQ rips from her MySpace years ago) but I'd have to upload them to YouTube. Forgot how much rare and unreleased gems I have from that era

This is the list so far with playlists. The unreleased playlist is missing some songs that I'd have to upload:

Would love to do the Destiny's Child solo release rate and include Lady Love, we don't have to be so strict with the timeline.

Real Genders: 11, 1 - 10, 0

I've come around to the idea of a -1. There's a certain buzz to completely tanking a fan favourite

Ppl so starved for Madonna rates that they're discussing Who's That Girl @Ace Reject

I was legit thinking of introducing a new mechanic where you could post a BANNED! in the comments to effectively eliminate all 12/11s of that song sisjsjshsh

Btw, I have another rate idea that's gonna be hilarious asf if well executed

Posting the bottom 10 all in one post as just bullet points was kind of camp why lie

There are big things happening in the Dua Lipa discography rate too, after 2 reveals it was clear that entire scores were imagined (strong suspicion AI was involved but not admitted) and now it's on indefinite hiatus because the host can't be bothered/is on vacation

I've never hosted one before but these are a few ideas I have

• Star Spangled Banner rate - ranking the best to worst renditions

• Michelle Williams Unexpected album 18 year anniversary rate - ranking all the songs from the era, including remixes and shelved songs

• Western girl group rate - split into 2 seperate rates, one for ballads and one for up-tempo bops

I was thinking of starting the Unexpected one fairly soon as a number of rates are ending this week and the US-release anniversary is October 7, which would be the deadline. Also it will be a lot less songs to cover than doing a complete discography

18 year anniversary? What type of nonsense...

I mean... We still have Pop era Michelle but with her sisters this time. You can just include the other tracks as deluxe on her album, or maybe an optional side rate people can join in on.

18 year anniversary rate... that's not going to happen on the planet or the next!

Nonsense? It's math. It's approaching 18 years since one of the greatest dance-pop/R&B albums was released

Before The Fame, Sasha Fierce, Loud, Bionic, My Everything…

There was UNEXPECTED.

It's not my fault Xtina was 2 years late to the electro-pop/r&b party and got dragged for it - I personally enjoy Bionic.

Throw shade all you want but Michelle's pop era will get its due praise in the forthcoming Destiny's Children: Solo Divas Album Rate featuring all tracks (including special editons) of the following albums: Ms. Kelly, Unexpected, I Am…Sasha Fierce, Lady Love. Also including any features/collabs from those album eras and some unreleased songs

It's pending. The list is almost done. Just gathering some unreleased songs from these albums that I might wait to reveal in the rate thread when it's up…but for now
