Graves Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 HIGH SCORE 10 x 9 (kimberly, Moonlight Nation, MusicLoverDude, Invisibility, BowWow, 305, Into The Void, wish, Julia Fox) 9.5 x 2 (greento, Graves) LOW SCORE 1 x 1 (Meloetta Carey) 0 x 3 (K$Ellie, GraceRandolph, Ken Lee) 😭 All the 10's and 0's, I- Pink Pony Club is one of the oldest songs in this rate, but also one of the most current, ironically. Chappell's 2020 single, it got her dropped from her previous record label due to poor sales, but became an anthem that inspired her newfound confidence in her sexuality and identity and paved the way for the rest of Midwest Princess to follow. It began shooting up the charts following her rise to popularity last year and is now one of her most popular songs of all. I think this song is the closest I'll let myself get to being a theatre gay. I like the call and response of the chorus and pre-chorus. "Girl, what have you done?" and the preachiness of the mother character is the perfect foil for the awakening of Chappell Roan. And then the responding chant of the song's title is a wonderful moment of catharsis. Gay awakening bop. Ken Lee: "This should never have made the album. It simply doesn't fit and sounds like a true amateur made it." Invisibility: "The originator, and will always respect that. Sure, it got her fired from her label, but im the end that's what she needed to be where she is standing right now." Moonlight Nation: "Honorary 11. It paints such a compelling and vivid picture, not to mention those epic guitar solos. It's heartwarming to see its trajectory from the song that got her dropped from her label to the career-defining staple it's become." HIGH SCORE 10 x 1 (BowWow) 9 x 5 (Julia Fox, brokee, Ace Reject, MP2K, Rev8) LOW SCORE 4 x 3 (redsing707, Terylee, glitch) 0 x 1 (Meloetta Carey) Chappell's dainty dedication to the fun times that happen in the dead of night. High on life (and sometimes more), feelings get heightened, inhibitions fall and people just let go. She can dance in the moonlight, kiss on those curious straight girls and their boyfriends, just live in bliss for a few precious hours. A #relatable moment for sure, she took me back to college on this one. And it's a mild bop as well! Curaga: "jjghfjlfhg I forgot this was a Chappell song till she started talking because this sounds exactly like a Short n Sweet song." Moonlight Nation: "Among the uptempos, it's probably the safest track production-wise, but it has such a wonderful energy and premise than I still love it regardless. Feel-good pop bliss." 1
Ewan Chaos Posted January 5 Posted January 5 So I is too low, I agree. At least it's the highest "slow song" on Brat I guess 1
Ewan Chaos Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Damn PPC kinda getting sabotaged hiwehwiohiedwd lowkey deserved... I get why it's been a longstanding "kinda hit" for the past few months but I'm glad the true top tracks from that album (well HTG and "honorary Midwest song" GLB) were the actual hits. Feel like some other Chappell songs could have left before PPC though...
Graves Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 Within the first three PMs I received, PPC had already scored two of those zeroes She was doomed from the start. 1
Graves Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 & the last one for tonight... HIGH SCORE 10 x 3 (redsing707, Terylee, glitch) 9 x 1 (Rev8) LOW SCORE 2 x 1 (jacklovesyou1) 1 x 1 (Ewan Chaos) Tinashe gives a brief exercise in dirty talk on Thirsty, charming her way into our hearts (and into somebody's pants at the same time). She's able to spit her lines quickly and efficiently, managing to mix the outright filthy with the surprisingly deep. We bounce between flirting and warning: yeah, we can fool around but don't play with my heart or anything. Effortlessly cool, a given with Nashe, but always got a little bit of her heart on her sleeve. Curaga: "God, I love her head voice. She sounds so pretty." Ewan Chaos: "Cute song but I had to give a low score to at least one song!" Moonlight Nation: "The brilliant reversed sample only enhances the extremely sultry vibe. Sexy R&B at its finest, with Tinashe's delivery and lyrics effortlessly setting the mood."

glitch Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Kinda shocked at PPP going out already. I do remember everyone panning it on release day (and then switching when the first day streams came in nnnn) so maybe it makes sense. Only actually got around to listening to Busy Woman for this rate and I really liked it. I think it deserved to stay longer. Thirsty is the best song on Quantum Baby. The fact that No Broke Boys, Nasty and Getting No Streams are still in but that's out...
glitch Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I didn't realise Pink Pony Club was so divisive? It's one of the better songs on that album imo. After Midnight is kinda boring so not mad about that.
MusicLoverDude Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Pink Pony Club already out Certainly better than Apple, Nasty and 360
kimberly Posted January 5 Posted January 5 hearing pink pony club live was a heavenly experience, a highlight of my year. wow. can't believe some of y'all hate it that much.
K$Ellie Posted January 5 Posted January 5 PPC OUT wish I had given Espresso a 0 as well now but hopefully my 3 was enough to drag it down
Invisibility Posted January 6 Posted January 6 PPP and PPC out already Don't Shart with its Spotify fodder throwaway production and lack of any impression still in my 4 was too kind
brokee Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Even though After Midnight is one of my fav I get if someone didn't like that song it's a slow song but Busy Women by Sabrina got eliminated that early underrated song

The number of 5's that were handed in for both bonus tracks…

Graves Posted January 8 Author Posted January 8 If there's no server issues I'll do another ten tonight x
GreatestLoveofAll Posted January 9 Posted January 9 please please please out so early... im too lazy to go back in the thread but in assuming slim pickins was kicked too right?

Graves Posted January 11 Author Posted January 11 Girls, I dunno how to handle updates going forward. The server always seems to be acting up when I finish work and have the time to update. I guess we'll play it by ear for a bit and take chances when they appear.
Graves Posted January 11 Author Posted January 11 In the meantime, here's a scrap while the server is working. HIGH SCORE 10 x 5 (glitch, Frappucino, K$Ellie, BowWow, makeawish) 9.3 x 1 (Moonlight Nation) LOW SCORE 2 x 2 (redsing707, Dark Miracles) 1 x 2 (GraceRandolph, Ewan Chaos) Rev8: "I was surprised by the Britney interpolation she truly is such a stan." Curaga: "Now why can I accept this as obvious, tongue-in-cheek fun, but if a man put out this same song I would suddenly be afraid of him and think he's a homicidal psycho? Am I being a misandrist or..." Ewan Chaos: "Good song but to me the weakest song on the album (and the way people seemed to drop it after it officially came out would have been the same fate as Taxi so I need people to stop whining about unreleased songs)." Moonlight Nation: "I live for the unhinged nature of this song! It's so chaotic, and aged quite interestingly now that Charli got nominated for several Grammys." 2

Graves Posted January 14 Author Posted January 14 Server seems to be behaving tonight, dare I try to kick some more out?
