ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 30, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 30, 2023 BREAK MY SOUL Average score: 7.78 High score: 10 (@supaspaz, @Reverie, @MP2K, @State of Grace., @Norte, @Taemira, @Sanguine) Low score: 1.5 (@305) Maybe it was the heavy sampling of Robin S.’s iconic “Show Me Love” or perhaps the endlessly quotable lyrics (“The queens in the front and the doms in the back/Ain't takin' no flicks but the whole clique snapped”). But this lead single from Renaissance, a liberation cry of the diva house variety, felt like an instant classic when it dropped last summer – and it was treated thusly. After becoming Beyoncé’s first #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in five years, “Break My Soul” was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the Grammys and won the award for Best Dance/Electronic Recording. Its widespread critical acclaim included mentions from the Los Angeles Times, Slant and The Washington Post as the best song of the year, while Rolling Stone almost immediately added it to a list of the greatest dance tracks of all time. Best bit: “Release ya anger, release ya mind/Release ya job, release the time,” a chant sampled from Big Freedia’s “Explode” ATRL says…: “She tried to give us something like ‘Rhythm Is a Dancer’ but just could not fully pull it off,” @Katamari suggested. @Ewan Chaos had “fun watching this being a bona fide smash after Bey hadn't had a proper hit since like...IASF era.” @Ace Reject would have given a 10!!! (with three exclamation points) to the Queens Remix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State of Grace. Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) I knew yall would do this dirty All Up In Your Mind and America Has a Problem should have left before it. Still a great song and the perfect lead single for the album and no one is changing my mind. Edit: Also the Queens Remix is one of the gayest and best things I've heard in ages, so we're thankful for that. Edited June 30, 2023 by State of Grace.

Ewan Chaos Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 We're already in the top 25 so I'm cool with these placings! I do wish BMS outlasted AUIYM though, an obviously underrated track but I just like BMS more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 30, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 30, 2023 AS IT WAS Average score: 7.79 High score: 10 (@Rev8, @dooart, @Katamari, @MP2K, @jacklovesyou1, @Virgos Groove, @Achilles., @creativity., @Norte, @V3$$3L.) Low score: 1 (@a_d_22) It’s not exactly a shock that the highest-ranking track from Harry’s House is its lead single. It was, after all, a historic smash – including 15 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 through a record five separate runs – that arguably overtook the album itself. There were also those Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Song of the Year, while Entertainment Weekly and USA Today named it the best song of 2022. But what does seem notable is that the inevitable backlash for any pop star who gets so big they can no longer be contained within our own conceptions of them (see: the reception to Midnights in this rate), which hit Harry particularly hard after the Don’t Worry Darling debacle, did not stop “As It Was” from nearly cracking the top twenty. Is this swoony synthpop throwback about accepting change just that undeniable, that much better than everything else from the era? Best bit: those final 30 seconds, with tubular bells chiming and a madcap piano line, are pure push-through-the-melancholy uplift ATRL says…: “Yeah, it is a bit overplayed now, but it's truly one of the best recent songs in popular music,” @Rev8 argued. “I know the ATRL-Female Obsessed-Users will disagree tho ” @Katamari pointed out that “if this was done by some indie act, y’all would be stanning HARD! That being said,” he added, “‘Blinding Lights,’ sweetie...” @Ewan Chaos acknowledged it was the “best song on the album, but I'm intentionally giving it a lower score because it doesn't deserve to be like...even top 20.” (Mission accomplished!) He was annoyed that Harry “totally ripped off Dayglow.” @cockatoo “hated this when I first heard it but the relentless radio play and got me to gradually accept it.” @byzantium was in the minority of voters. “Surprisingly this might be my favorite Harry Styles album?” he admitted. “There are no 10’s here like on his last album, but it is surprisingly consistent.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 30, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 30, 2023 So that's it for poor Mr. Styles. Absolutely decimated at the beginning of the countdown, yet he managed to not be the first album out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
