$20

 

Average: 7.34

High Score: 10 (@supaspaz, @a_d_22)

Low score: 4 (@glitch)

 

 

The Julien Baker-fronted offering among The Record's three joint lead singles – which spent a week at #44 on the rock and alternative chart – is a pure jolt of garage rock fuzz, a rebel yell about the mistakes we make when we're young and dumb, trying to escape our past and running into dead ends, scraping by when life feels stacked against us and, well, just needing "$20" sometimes.

 

Best bit: "It's a bad idea and I'm all about it"

 

ATRL says…: There was a mixed response to the climactic screams. "Seeing Phoebe Bridgers scream in this song gives me life," @a_d_22 wrote, whereas @glitch thought the song "was cute until they started screaming at the end."

skksksk I'm literally listening to this song. This rate made me blast GODgenius daily again

WASTED EYES

 

Average: 7.46

High Score: 10 (@MP2K, @Reverie)

Low score: 2 (@a_d_22)

 

 

Amaarae is constantly wary of her lovers’ intentions on Fountain Baby. This third single finds her rejecting another clout chaser who’s in it for the wrong reasons because Amaarae has “too many things to lose.” Playing on the shimmering Japanese koto riff that gives “Wasted Eyes” its exotic sound, the music video depicts Amaarae going Mortal Kombat in a sushi restaurant.

 

Best bit:  that punching beat that serves as a refrain throughout the song, including as a coda to the chorus, is its biggest hook

 

ATRL says…: @a_d_22, on his own Kombucha Girl journey, thought the “production was bad but it was a little different which was good but her voice is just so damn annoying.”

So, yes, after taking some early hits, Olivia is now leading the pack as we head into the top twenty. Amaarae has fallen behind Victoria, while Zach and Boygenius are just barely hanging on. What do you think will make the top ten?

 

Fountain Baby

“Angels In Tibet”

“Co-Star”

“Counterfeit”

“Sociopathic Dance Queen”

 

Guts

“All-American Bitch”

“Bad Idea Right?”

“Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl”

“Get Him Back!”

“Love Is Embarrassing”

“Pretty Isn’t Pretty”

“Obsessed”

 

Jaguar II

“Smoke” ft. Lucky Daye

“Alright”

“How Does It Make You Feel”

“On My Mama”

“Good Bye”

 

The Record

“True Blue”

“Not Strong Enough”

 

Zach Byran

“Overtime”

“I Remember Everything” ft. Kacey Musgraves

Posted

Think I'm OK with this update... I think I'm just so mad Princess Going Digital left so early that I don't even care anymore :rip:

 

My guess (not necessarily what I want) for top 10:

 

Fountain Baby

"Co-Star"

"Sociopathic Dance Queen"

 

Guts

"All-American *****"

"Bad Idea Right?"

"Get Him Back!"

"Obsessed"

 

Jaguar II

"Alright"

"On My Mama"

 

The Record

"Not Strong Enough" - I could see this being like #14 though too

 

Zach Byran

"I Remember Everything" ft. Kacey Musgraves

Oh that was maybe her best song... :toofunny2:

 

There's a little too much Olivia left for my liking. Also kinda shocked How Does It Make You Feel and Goodbye are still here.

 

Hoping and praying the lesbians are out before the top 10

Wasted Eyes is great. Too much Olivia left for my taste.

Love Lucy Godacus but how is "True Blue" still here

I did have a hint about this before the rate began…

Wasted Eyes is how I truly got into the Ghanian pop princess. :monkey: But she has greats left.

 

Do I need to say that any of Victoria's remains are all winner worthy? :michael:

Has the rate been cancelled following the Amaarae disrespect?

I have five more ready. But it might be more fun if I can get it all the way to the top ten tomorrow night.
