greento Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 Will you remember us, or are the memories too stained with blood now? Just missing the top spot is Tove’s synthpop banger “No One Dies From Love”. Our favoruite Swede sure knows how to pick a good lead single and this track is definitely no exception. The song is gorgeously produced and sounds expensive. Tove has said the song is about how “When you’re with someone for a long time and it ends all of a sudden, it’s like a part of you has died. This person is now a stranger to you. All of the memories are tainted.” @Ewan Chaos says “God, most of her lead singles are sooooooo good. This is definitely a top-tier Tove song (even if my bf hates it LOL).” @pavi expresses their need for the extended version on streaming “Would get a higher score if she put the version with the bridge on streaming “ @supaspaz says “There’s simply nothing better than sad dance music.” Lovers (10s and 11s): 11 - @TRF. 11 - @ONOPKA 11 - @Temporal 11 - @kimberly 10 - BlackoutZone 10 - halcyonday 10 - Ewan Chaos 10 - MP2K 10 - GraceRandolph 10 - beomgyu 10 - creativity. 10 - kandicha 10 - supaspaz 10 - Miichael 10 - Born to Run 10 - Quicksand 10 - Love Again 10 - Crashed 10 - gatito Haters (0s and 1s): None so the winner is......... Are you thinking of me? Does it kill you that you're thinking of me? Carly is crowned the winner with her bombastic single “Talking to Yourself” taking the top spot. This song is a masterclass in pop song-writing; its easily one of the catchiest songs of Carly’s discography. Throughout all the ballots, “Talking to Yourself” remained unbeatable and rarely left the top spot, if ever. @Ewan Chaos admits “I know it's the most "by the books" Carly song on the record, but **** when it hits it HITS. The drop in production right before the first chorus and two SNAPS into "ARE YOU THINKING OF ME" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”. @beomgyu says “carly just knows how to make the best pop music”. @supaspaz appreciates all the little details in the track “That extra little pause between “to” and “yourself” in the refrain? That’s a slay.” @cockatoo simply says “Classic Carly doing what she does best”. Lovers (10s and 11s): 11 - @jacklovesyou1 11 - @Price of Fame 10 - Tedwards 10 - Sanguine 10 - Ewan Chaos 10 - TRF. 10 - Supervillain 10 - MP2K 10 - 4Real 10 - ONOPKA 10 - GraceRandolph 10 - Temporal 10 - beomgyu 10 - kimberly 10 - Born to Run 10 - Love Again 10 - Crashed 10 - cockatoo 10 - gatito Haters (0s and 1s): None Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peroxide Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Oh I would have loved to have submitted! Shame... I'll do the next rate. Happy to see Talking To Yourself claim the top spot, it's so much better than NODFL. However, I'm AMAZED at how badly Rina did... ya'll did This Hell, CMITA, Phantom, Holy etc DIRTY. Assuming that next year we'll have: Kim Petras Ava Max Ellie Goulding Carly Rae ... any other indie pop / flop girlies releasing this year?
