Decent results so far, I knew ATRL wouldn’t appreciate Wonderful Life but whatever!

Glad to see the experimental genre bending Beat of My Drum is still in!

And where are my rate girls @KillingYourCareer and @prézli?

He invited me to this rate and I ended up letting down him by dragging his fave.

Not too much to be upset about so far (Nadia Oh leaving so early is a crime against pop humanity tho). Ofc I'm sure my faves will all be eviscerated before t10 or something though like ALWAYS.

You know why 2011 and 2012 didn't work? PJ/Peter was not clued into what was actually happening in British pop. Like, 2011 - how did Katy B not get listed ONCE? And you mean to tell me that anything from 2012 is better than a random single from Devotion? C'mon now...

Bigger blunder - Spice Girls never getting a Grammy nomination or these five never getting a Grammy nomination? Either way, NARAS fucked up!

WMYB is a very well-crafted pop song and absolutely deserving of Grammy nods, but the Spice Girls feel like the bigger blunder.  The only obstacle is the pop Grammy categories having the word "Vocal" in them and a certain Spice Girl always performing with her mic intentionally off... :coffee2:

I didn't come into this rate expecting to give What Makes You Beautiful a 10, but I just couldn't deny its power. It's a phenomenal pop song that managed to worm its way into my heart (and my head :eli:). First big loss for me :chick3:

"MMMBop" got the ROTY that should have gone to "Wannabe"

 

And the fact that it was left out of the pop category for some Rolling Stones song even Mick Jagger doesn't remember...

Eight 10+ scores and "What Makes You Beatiful" still barely scraped the top thirty? Was there some sabotage?

Sis, wrong thread :bibliahh:

How's it a wrong thread? I was gonna originally joined this rate but didn't have time to rate all the songs so I just watched the results play out, and I'm glad to see Taylor's trash songs getting kicked out! What does any of that have to do with wrong thread? :rip:

Taylor... is not in this rate. This is for the 'cream' of the British crop from 07 - 12. You're thinking of @naval23's rate.

I Am Not a Robot was bad and deserves the dragging, but Power & Control was actually nice. Should've been top 20 :chick1:
