One member has you beat. Gave everything a 10 except "Pure/Honey," which got a 9.5.

Ok but they are clearly crazy for not giving P/H a ten.

It’s not uncommon in rates for an artist to pull an upset like that, because many  will have a stronger consensus as to what the best song it and they don’t get a “this is overrated” sabotage.  I’m just remembering kelis stomping on Aaliyah and brandy.  

Fewest songs in the top ten of those three and then she pulled off the win with "Trick Me," not even "Milkshake." That was a shock.

maybe you guys deserve some rights!

BIZCOCHITO

 

Average score: 7.89

High score: 10 (@supaspaz, @CBC, @4Real, @Ewan Chaos, @State of Grace., @madonnas, @Norte, @V3$$3L.)

Low score: 1 (@creativity.)

 

 

The biggest hit of Rosalía’s career may not be any particular song, but rather a viral meme of her miming chewing gum each night on the Motomami World Tour, which briefly seemed to take over the internet last summer. It would not have been possible without “Bizcochito,” a hyperactive dismissal of her critics that provides the perfect soundtrack for a swaggering hip pop and exaggerated eye roll.

 

Best bit: “No basé mi carrera en tener hits/Tengo hits porque yo senté las bases”

 

ATRL says…: “I knew I loved this,” @Ewan Chaos shared, “but I didn't know how much I loved it until it went viral and people said it was like ‘music that plays when a cat is chasing a mouse’ and like...yaas.” @madonnas called it a “ringtone rap anthem.” But @cockatoo wanted to fight “this TikTok terrorism. I can't get that image of her pretending to chew gum out of my head.”

DESPECHÁ

Fans first heard this mambo taunt of a jealous ex when Rosalía performed it alongside several other then-unreleased tracks on the opening night of her tour last summer. The effusive response led her to service “Despechá” as the lead single for the Motomami + rerelease, with the audience at another concert a few weeks later choosing the title over “Lao a Lao,” a reference to one of the song’s biggest hooks. A buoyant bop with a Majorca beach day music video to match, it was a relative smash for Rosalía, reaching #63 on the Billboard Hot 100 and riding the chart for several months as it topped Latin radio and even cracked the top forty on the rhythmic format.

 

Best bit: “Lo muevo de la'o a la'o y a otro la'o”

 

ATRL says…: “I would give this a 20/10 if I could. She DID that,” @Katamari lauded. @cockatoo deemed it “excellence, no notes.” The melody reminded @Rev8 of another song but “I can’t put my finger on it,” he wrote. “Surprised it blew so much also.”

HENTAI

High score: 10 (@supaspaz, @305, @CBC, @MP2K, @State of Grace., @madonnas, @Norte, @Quicksand, @Taemira, @V3$$3L.)

Low score: 3 (@4Real)

 

 

Nakedly erotic – and just plain naked, as Rosalía at one point praises her lover’s dick piercing – this spare yet sweeping piano ballad about riding him like a bike becomes a grand romantic expression through the power of her acrobatic vocal performance, brimming with an almost spiritual desire. Though its explicit lyrics initially proved divisive when Rosalía previewed the song on social media, “Hentai,” co-written by Pharrell Williams and accompanied by pianist Jacob Sherman, became a fan favorite and earned Latin Grammy nominations for Song of the Year and Best Alternative Song. Rosalía has said the title refers to the sense of fantasy that she finds in the Japanese anime porn, which she considers more suggestive and beautiful than conventional porn because of the artistry inherent in the drawings. Serving as a promotional single for Motomami, the music video depicts Rosalía sensually mounting a mechanical bull in the Ukranian countryside and writhing around on a bed in the middle of a horse track.

 

Best bit: “Hazme un tape modo Spike”

 

ATRL says…: “I love this Disney song with a weird porn title,” @cockatoo said. “The machine guns at the end were a bit random, though.” @madonnas called it a “pierced cock anthem.”

Low score: 3 (@jacklovesyou1)

 

 

Bad Bunny has hoes in different area codes and no plans to settle down on this third single from Un Verano Sin Ti, a wild shapeshifting trip through clapping dembow, heavy trap beats, extraterrestrial synths and a sample of Antony Santos’ “No Te Puedo Olvidar.” Backed by a music video where a Spanish Harlem street party leads to a kidnapping and wedding with a supernatural bride, “Tití Me Preguntó” debuted at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and lingered around the top twenty for months, eventually topping the Latin chart and reaching #14 on rhythmic radio.

 

Best bit: “Vamo' a tirarno' un selfie, say "cheese", ey/Que sonrían las que ya les metí”

 

ATRL says…: “This guy's tone when he raps is…not enjoyable,” @cockatoo remarked. “Increased my mark for the second half of the song, the alien vibe was cute.”

With her homegirl Tokischa by her side – she previously collaborated with the Dominican rapper on 2021’s “Linda” – Rosalía sets out for a night on the town in a Versace minibus, dropping hundreds and feeling like Carla Bruni in designer duds, on this glitchy, downbeat flash of swag from Motomami.

CANDY

 

Average score: 8.24

High score: 10 (@CBC, @byzantium, @4Real, @MP2K, @Virgos Groove, @Subomie)

Low score: 5 (@Achilles.)

 

 

Rosalía puts an ex-lover out of her mind, forgetting his face and the shape of his body, on this somber reggaeton ballad from Motomami. The chorus interpolates Burial’s dance track “Archangel” – itself built on a sample of Ray J’s “One Wish” – while the first verse references dancing and falling in love to Plan B’s 2014 hit “Candy,” which provides the title. Serving as a promotional single, with a music video inspired by the karaoke sequence from Lost In Translation filmed in the Shibuya neighborhood of Tokyo, “Candy” made a brief run on the Latin chart, peaking at #17. It just missed the top tier of our countdown, finishing about five points behind tenth place.

 

Best bit: “Pero de olvidarte yo ya hice un arte”

Ya no me acuerdo de tu cara
La forma de tu cuerpo ni aunquе la pensara
Hay demasia'o que nos sеpara
La vida es bonita pero traicionera

RENAISSANCE stomping 

I don't wanna hear no AHAP slander. VIRGO'S GROOVE or AHAP ftw.

 

 

[madonnas]

My favorite is AHAP but if alien superstar won that would be very cool and interesting 

[Norte]

AHAP making the top 10 , it's so boring and apparently it's on the top 5. Hopefully it won't win.

 

Pure / Honey for the win

Me neither, because there were only a few official singles. But then like all of these songs went to #1 in Spain. 

[TRF.]

This really is BeyTRL wow...deserved although we could've used a couple more Rosalía songs to even things out  

 

I wonder how far Saoko and Good Days are going to make it

a universal acclaim tea

[Taemira]

“Heated”
“America Has a Problem”
“Pure/Honey”
