I can see School being included in many of these types of lists by the end of the year...

Looking at everyone's Top 5 tracks over the last couple of pages - I love how there are no wrong answers!

I'm still cackling at how Madonna didn't even bother to return at the end!

Madonna's entrance was visually exciting and Shakira's choreography was great. The rest was a big fat CHOP!

Yeah, the beefed up mix on the album is 🔥🔥

Hopefully CII will just snag a Top 10 placement, but if not it's still a fantastic (and better than anyone expected) result

So I guess Metacritic is never going to add that SPIN review?

I feel there are a number of people that had a certain prejudice against this song before they had even heard it and who now don't want to admit that it is actually excellent!

The Club Confessions appearances result in hundreds, if not thousands of clips circulating all over social media. This creates organic buzz. Let's not forget that her streaming numbers are the best they have ever been! This proves that the songs this time around have penetrated beyond her core fanbase. However, I do agree with you that more targeted playlisting wouldn't hurt!

As an 'album opener' IFSF does a better job at setting the scene...

I actually disagree. The guerilla marketing has worked wonders and I feel that a bunch of vapid TV appearances (such as Fallon) would break the spell somewhat...

Are there any more chart entries left to announce?

The best 1-2-3 punch for me is still Love Without Words ➡️ Bizarre ➡️ School

I've just realised that this is the fourth most popular thread in the entire sub-forum (after three Taylor Swift albums). It's been such a ride and I want it to keep going and going!
