Rotunda Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 UNLOCK IT - This is fine. The first half of Jay Park's verse is kinda tragic, but otherwise this is standard Charli XCX fare. KNOCK YOU DOWN - This isn't something that I'd actively seek out, but it's a nostalgia bop that holds up a lot better than you'd expect. WUSYANAME - This is enjoyable in an interlude kind of way, but the song becomes super cluttered after a while LADY MARMALADE - Honestly I never play this but it sounds so good whenever I hear it. JUST GOT PAID - I do love Ella Eyre's voice here and I think Meghan sounds good here, but this song sounds like it was made for an Old Navy blowout sale commercial. MEAN WHAT I MEAN - This has a nice Summer 2016 kinda vibe. Dreezy ate. CHECK ON IT - The best song here by far. THANK GOD I FOUND YOU - Kinda typical throwback R&B, but it's nice OUT OF MY HEAD - I think I prefer this to the other XCX song MONSTER - PULL UP IN THE MONSTA AUTOMOBILE GANGSTA I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT - A classic I don't really use, but it's cute PEACHES - It's cool. Giveon is kinda out of place here tbh. TILL THE WORLD ENDS - I prefer the original but this still goes off
Kelp Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 Charli XCX - Unlock It (feat. Kim Petras and Jay Park): not as good as I thought it was tbh Keri Hilsonft. Kanye West, Ne-Yo - Knock You Down: classic and cute Tyler The Creator - WUSYANAME (feat. Youngboy Never Broke Again & Ty Dollar $ign): I like this, nice to listen to Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mýa and Pink - Lady Marmalade: very expected but really fun and cute Sigala, Ella Eyre, Meghan Trainor, feat French Montana - Just Got Paid: uh actually this isn’t bad, just really generic Britney Spears - Till the World Ends (feat. Nicki Minaj & Kesha): oh actually I forgot how much I liked this AlunaGeorge, Dreezy, Leikeli47 - Mean What I Mean: I used to stan AlunaGeorge hard, but idk they became very basic, this is very H&M to me Beyoncé - Check On It ft. Bun B, Slim Thug: idk why but this has always been one of my faves from her Mariah Carey - Thank God I Found You (Make It Last Remix) feat. Joe & Nas: djdbdsksj I cannot stand this song, the melody is next level boring, the remix version helps though Charli XCX - Out Of My Head ft. Tove Lo and ALMA: actually I like this more than unlock it Kanye West - Monster ft. Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj & Bon Iver: a classic, the drums are so good, love this (even past nickis verse) Busta Rhymes, Mariah Carey - I Know What You Want (feat. Flipmode Squad): ahhhhh a classic, the chorus whew, love Justin Bieber - Peaches ft. Daniel Caesar, Giveon: not bad but a weird choice, honestly I enjoy it though
ATRL Moderator Element Posted September 6, 2021 ATRL Moderator Posted September 6, 2021 Calvin Harris - Heatstroke (feat. Young Thug, Pharrell Williams and Ariana Grande) a fun start to the round but this reminds me that i am not a pharrell fan whew 100 gecs - Ringtone (feat. Charli XCX, Rico Nasty, and Kero Kero Bonito) i actually liked this more than i thought i would x Missy Elliot - Lose Control (feat. Ciara & Fat Man Scoop) u really snatched a classic here Mariah Carey - Breakdown ft. Krayzie Bone, Wish Bone lovely track yup Lady Gaga, BLACKPINK - Sour Candy (Shygirl & Mura Masa Remix) Have you seen the film Halloweentown? This remix is basically the nefarious plot in that movie. It feels like all of the life and color was drained from the song. I wasn't crazy about the original version, so this is a compounded disappointment. Keala Settle, Kesha & Missy Elliott - This Is Me (The Reimagined Remix) Now what on earth were you thinking when you sent this? Charli XCX - Dreamer feat. Starrah and RAYE HOLD AWNNNN. I very rarely connect with Charli XCX songs but this is actually really hitting for me, esp that chorus. She did something whew Kali Uchis - After The Storm ft. Tyler, The Creator, Bootsy Collins another lovely song Christina Aguilera - Accelerate ft. Ty Dolla $ign, 2 Chainz (ngl this actually grew a bit since 2018 but still a mess) Pia Mia - Do It Again ft. Chris Brown, Tyga mmmm this is rather unremarkable as a pop song Latto - Bitch From da Souf (Remix) (feat. Saweetie & Trina) bopping! this is fire Snakehips, Tinashe, Chance The Rapper - All My Friends rly enjoyed the chorus and vibe of this Megan Thee Stallion - Hot Girl Summer ft. Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign it's fine... but tbh i feel like a collab of this magnitude should have hit harder
ATRL Moderator Element Posted September 6, 2021 ATRL Moderator Posted September 6, 2021 actually i listened to breakdown again and you can upgrade it to "i really liked this" congrats
Tom Vercetti Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 Calvin Harris - Heatstroke (feat. Young Thug, Pharrell Williams and Ariana Grande): The features here aren't doing much for me i'm afraid. 100 gecs - Ringtone (feat. Charli XCX, Rico Nasty, and Kero Kero Bonito): This grew off me over time and as far as features go Rico > xcx > kkb. Missy Elliot - Lose Control (feat. Ciara & Fat Man Scoop): Absolutely. The cybotron sample is really effective. I think I prefer listening to this song while watching the video though. Mariah Carey - Breakdown ft. Krayzie Bone, Wish Bone: This song is good. Coincidentally, the instrumental reminds me of Bone Thugs n Harmony's tha crossroads. Lady Gaga, BLACKPINK - Sour Candy (Shygirl & Mura Masa Remix): D. The original > Keala Settle, Kesha & Missy Elliott - This Is Me (The Reimagined Remix): Wtf is this musical? Probably the worst song i've heard this season so far. Charli XCX - Dreamer feat. Starrah and RAYE: Don't care for Starrah's contribution but solid song overall. Kali Uchis - After The Storm ft. Tyler, The Creator, Bootsy Collins: Hmm, sure. Christina Aguilera - Accelerate ft. Ty Dolla $ign, 2 Chainz: This had potential but Ty Dolla's dry vocals filtered me. Praise Kanye for the production tho. Pia Mia - Do It Again ft. Chris Brown, Tyga: I don't really have major issues with this song tbh. It's probably in the upper half of this round which I didn't expect upon listening. Latto - Bitch From da Souf (Remix) (feat. Saweetie & Trina): Sorry, not into this. Snakehips, Tinashe, Chance The Rapper - All My Friends: An adequate 2015 throwback. Megan Thee Stallion - Hot Girl Summer ft. Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign: This was a thing for one summer.
smholiv Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 GROUP A Spoiler Calvin Harris - Heatstroke Theoretically i’d like this because I like the artists featured but it's not working that well for me. 100 gecs - Ringtone Probably their best song. Too repetitive for me to love but Rico has a great moment. Laura’s Haunted > Missy Elliott - Lose Control Unique song, not a lot like this, it’s just unabashedly fun. It’s still a classic, will be pretty high for me. Mariah Carey - Breakdown Yupppp you happened to send my favourite Mariah song of all time. Huge classic~ Lady Gaga - Sour Pink (Remix) I actually really like the original song. The remix… well it’s one of the best from the album at least. Love Shygirl but yeah. Idk maybe this might be in the middle? Kind of wish they kept more of the BP girls’ parts though. Keala Settle - This Is Me Ummmm sorry I don’t like this at all Charli XCX - Dreamer She’s done so much better since (and before) so this is just kind of blah. The features aren’t that interesting either. Kali Uchis - After the Storm I wasn’t expecting to like this because idk why but Kali isn’t a fave of mine. However, this is actually really chill and cool. I like Tyler’s parts~ Christina Aguilera - Accelerate I had no idea what to expect from a collaboration like this It’s not bad though, kind of really only here for the production. Pia Mia - Do It Again Fun and breezy song tbh. I don’t like Tyga’s parts at all but w/e the chorus is pretty much what this song is meant for. Latto - Bitch From Da Souf Ehhh this is kind of generic and not as fun as I’d want it to be. Middle of the group I think. Snakehips - All My Friends It’s simple, a song I might’ve liked a few years ago, but idc for it now. I think it’ll be in the middle but let’s see. Megan Thee Stallion - Hot Girl Summer yeahhhhh that's a summer anthem GROUP B Spoiler Charli XCX - Unlock It My favourite song of hers, it’s literally pop perfection Keri Hilson - Knock You Down I used to really like this song, and still do~ It’s so nostalgic for me and I’m happy you sent it! (Even if I am a Neyo hater) Tyler, The Creator - WUSYANAME This is soooo good. My favourite from his album this year and one of my favourite songs of the year. Feel like this is him at his prime Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim, Mya, & P!nk - Lady Marmalade This was an incredibly obvious choice but I’m not mad at all. I see why this is typically the “standard” for female pop collabs, it’s got everything you’d want out of that yasss Sigala - Just Got Paid It’s pretty basic I don’t hate Old Navy commercial music but this isn’t working for me Britney Spears - Till The World Ends (Remix) This is just really messy as a remix flksljs like idek what to say about it. It’s not bad but there’s so much going on and barely any of it makes sense AlunaGeorge - Mean What I Mean Topshop or Zara music, fine to listen to once but I’d never return Beyonce - Check On It It’s sadly a no from me! Definitely one of her weakest singles, it’s just not that good. I liked that she brought it back for Coachella, but if the only context where I enjoy a song is a specific performance 15 years later, it’s not worth it to begin with. Mariah Carey - Thank God I Found You (Make It Last) Super basic song that offers absolutely nothing. Yeah the remix improves it, but I still don’t think it elevates it to anything that great. Charli XCX - Out of My Head Also a great song from her. Very addictive~ Kanye West - Monster I was disappointed to see only one Kanye song since he has tons of great options with various features. YOu sent a huge classic though. This is one of my favourite albums of all time and yeah this is a standout Busta Rhymes - I Know What You Want This is MASSIVE nostalgia for me. This idk.. It just reminds me of my older siblings/cousins’ playlists and mixed/burned CDs and I love that. Justin Bieber - Peaches Worst song of 2021, godawful @Kavish @Future Lover @touya kinomoto @Psycho @worldwide angel @Taylucifer @Valtersen @Alena @Dessy @Noah @Element @Auburn @ZORBIT @Jay-Zicario @Not Like The Movies @kipperskipper @Thanatos @Mr. Duff @Rotunda @K$Ellie @Guero @Tom Vercetti @Touch It @Drifloon @PinkBox @luckystrike
Guero Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 Group B Charli XCX - Unlock It (Lock It) [feat. Kim Petras & Jay Park] Not really feeling this... way too repetitive and just meh overall. Keri Hilson - Knock You Down (feat. Kanye West & Ne-Yo) I've never liked this song, and it looks like that hasn't changed. Tyler, The Creator - WUSYANAME (feat. Youngboy Never Broke Again & Ty Dollar $ign) This was more enjoyable than I thought it would be. My only problem is how short the song is. Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim, Mya, P!nk - Lady Marmalade A great entry. All four women really bring something to this collaboration. Sigala, Ella Eyre, Meghan Trainor, French Montana - Just Got Paid What a random assortment of artists. I actually enjoyed this more than most it seems. Britney Spears - Til The World Ends (feat. Nicki Minaj & Kesha) One of my least favorite Britney singles from this album era, and this unnecessary remix didn't help at all. AlunaGeorge, Dreezy, Leikeli47 - Mean What I Mean I typically like AlunaGeorge's output but this was just... there for me. Like I don't have much to say about it. Beyoncé - Check On It (feat. Bun B & Slim Thug) This mess of a song (as in the clear Destiny's Child shout out right in the beginning of the song). The features aren't really necessary, but this is still a real fun classic. Mariah Carey - Thank God I found You (feat. Joe & Nas) I really enjoyed this. I liked the vocals from both MC & Joe. Nas' verse was kind not needed and it would have helped with the length of the song if it wasn't a part of this. Charli XCX - Out Of My Head (feat. Tove Lo and ALMA) A lot better than the other Charli entry in this group. This was really good. Kanye West - Monster (feat. Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj & Bon Iver) A great and iconic hip hop record. Of course Nicki's verse is the best, but the verses from the men are also quite enjoyable as well. Busta Rhymes & Mariah Carey - I Know What You Want (feat. Flipmode Squad) Amazing song. I love Busta and Mariah's energy with each other on this. This song really takes me back. Justin Bieber - Peaches (feat. Daniel Caesar & Giveon)
touya kinomoto Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 coming for SAFE/LOW and even possibly BTTM also i feel like this might be the last round before we merge as one group and the comeback round is coming very soon.

Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign - serve
K$Ellie Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 Spoiler Unlock It: stunning song, perhaps her best! Knock You Down: a bit aged, doesn't hit as hard anymore but decent WUSYANAME: one of my faves from him I think Lady Marmalade: big bop and a classic! Just Got Paid: I mean no x Till the World Ends: in hindsight this is so bad, the remix and non-remix part are two separate songs but I love the original so I guess it's somewhere in between x Mean What I Mean: only really used I'm In Control from this album tbh x Check On It: gets a bit repetitive but it's a very cute song Thank God I Found You: lovely song, need to get into Moo fully x Out Of My Head: massive grower, even got used to Alma's parts so now I really like the song Monster: Nicki ruins it x I Know What You Want: another Moo bop Peaches: it's not the worst tbh, his other recent singles were a lot worse I'll give him that x

Young Thug, Pharrell Williams and Ariana Grande) this iwas a mid serve. it def sounds better now than at the time of the release 100 gecs - Ringtone (feat.

Future Lover Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 Calvin Harris - Heatstroke (feat. Young Thug, Pharrell Williams and Ariana Grande) Doesn't do anything for me 100 gecs - Ringtone (feat. Charli XCX, Rico Nasty, and Kero Kero Bonito) I absolutely detest 100 gecs but this is a cute hyperpop bop Missy Elliot - Lose Control (feat. Ciara & Fat Man Scoop) Avant-garde classic Mariah Carey - Breakdown ft. Krayzie Bone, Wish Bone One of my favorite Mariah songs. Such a nice jam Lady Gaga, BLACKPINK - Sour Candy (Shygirl & Mura Masa Remix) I like Shygirl but I'm gonna pass on this Keala Settle, Kesha & Missy Elliott - This Is Me (The Reimagined Remix) I'm screaming at the universal panning for this It really is diabolical Charli XCX - Dreamer feat. Starrah and RAYE Big bop as the kids say Kali Uchis - After The Storm ft. Tyler, The Creator, Bootsy Collins Cute sing Christina Aguilera - Accelerate ft. Ty Dolla $ign, 2 Chainz I live for this mess of a song Avant-garde masterpice Pia Mia - Do It Again ft. Chris Brown, Tyga Problematic bop Latto - Bitch From da Souf (Remix) (feat.

luckystrike Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 also to the big latto sender in group A just know I see your bravery and I would've given you my #1 if we were in the same group
ZORBIT Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 Speedy #MoreTheMerrier GROUP B Spoiler Charli XCX - Unlock It (feat. Kim Petras and Jay Park) You're so lucky you copped my first choice too, amazing to listen to blazed driving with the windows down Keri Hilsonft. Kanye West, Ne-Yo - Knock You Down I never remembered this being like 5 minutes but its a 2009 staple Tyler The Creator - WUSYANAME (feat. Youngboy Never Broke Again & Ty Dollar $ign) eh it's alright, I usually find male tones too monotone Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mýa and Pink - Lady Marmalade un clasico Sigala, Ella Eyre, Meghan Trainor, feat French Montana - Just Got Paid promixa cancion Britney Spears - Till the World Ends (feat. Nicki Minaj & Kesha) Nicki's Verse is camp excellence & the beat switch up is todo AlunaGeorge, Dreezy, Leikeli47 - Mean What I Mean Love Aluna & this is high in my ranking Beyoncé - Check On It ft. Bun B, Slim Thug un clasico again Mariah Carey - Thank God I Found You (Make It Last Remix) feat. Joe & Nas This was actually great, the instrumental is gorge Charli XCX - Out Of My Head ft. Tove Lo and ALMA The less superior XCX song & does come off annoying with the repetitive outta's Kanye West - Monster ft. Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj & Bon Iver Some of the punchlines throughout the song still slap despite the song feeling like an eternity to reach Nicki's verse Busta Rhymes, Mariah Carey - I Know What You Want (feat. Flipmode Squad) This felt a bit too dragged out and less superior to TGIFY Justin Bieber - Peaches ft. Daniel Caesar, Giveon its a no for me I guess everything else was taken & Ranks submitted
