Thinking Grapejuice or Cinema to be out first?
Rooting for Little Freak *.*
Posted by: JosephCarey 20th December 2022, 02:26 PM
13 6.77 Boyfriends
I dig your cinema: Maz (10)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: dannjohn (4)
The penultimate track on the album proved the least popular on streaming, remaining the least popular album track since its release. It seems Buzzjack agrees - though its average isn't poor by any means, it does just about slip into last place. The song is a commentary from Harry about how boyfriends often mistreat their partners, with inspiration coming from relationships Harry has seen his sister and friends in.

Correct start!

12 6.80 Grapejuice
I dig your cinema: WhoOdyssey (9)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: RyanFM (5)
Though Grapejuice's lowest score is higher than that of Boyfriends, it didn't get any 10s so is only barely ahead of it when averaged out. The third track on the album is the only one so far not to have featured on the Love on Tour setlist, though Harry has of course played it live at the One Night Only shows. The song is about getting over somebody with alcohol, the "grapejuice blues" likely referring to wine.

Great start to the results so far! I didn’t dislike either of these (I gave them 7s!) but they’re bottom 2 of the album for me.

11 7.10 Little Freak
I dig your cinema: Lunar (11)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: dannjohn (4)
Found in the centre of the tracklist, Little Freak is the first tender moment of the album. It's a song about nostalgia, specifically to do with one person, with feelings of regret. Harry wrote the song in a hotel room in Tokyo with two of his friends years before its release. Little Freak was one of the higher selling album tracks on release and has already been certified silver for 200k sales in the UK!

No real arguments over the first two out but I have MAJOR arguments here - Little Freak is one of the best songs on the album!!! Y'all

10 7.13 Cinema

Track 8 on Harry's House picks up the pace after a couple of ballads, featuring Harry singing about his infatuation with the subject of the song. The song's outro is slightly nonsensical and Harry's not commented publicly on the lyrics and meaning behind them, but he did point at a fan's sign regarding the lyric "you pop when we get intimate" being about poppers at a concert, giving it a thumbs up!

THIS
Not mad at the other 3 but y'all did little freak dirty

9 7.57 Keep Driving
I dig your cinema: WhoOdyssey (11)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: dannjohn (4)
One of the most uplifting songs on the album, Keep Driving is a song about pushing through and to "keep driving" when everything around you is going wrong. It focuses on the good stuff, which Harry lists in the song - from "maple syrup, coffee, pancakes for two" to "cocaine, side boob". It's been included on the Love on Tour setlist where the final verse in particular is a crowd-pleasing moment!
Posted by: CJK 21st December 2022, 09:33 PM
I forgot to vote for this.
But just for the record... Keep Driving is one of the best songs on the album (especially enjoyable to sing along to when I'm driving!! ��)

Little Freak has definitely been done dirty

8 7.63 Love of My Life
I dig your cinema: Maz, JosephStyles (9)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: dannjohn (4)
Closing the album, Love of My Life was the track used in the album's teaser trailer, albeit in reverse. The track, according to Harry, isn't about a person, but in fact England, which is of course his home country. Harry said "I’ve always wanted to write a song about, like, home and loving England and all that kind of stuff. And it’s always kinda hard to do without being like ‘went to the chippy and I did this thing.'" Anyone noticing a theme with the lowest scorer?

7 7.87 Daylight
I dig your cinema: dannjohn (10)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: …ready for it (6)
Though it hasn't been a single yet, Daylight actually received the music video treatment earlier in the year. It was filmed for The Late Late Show with James Corden and directed by its host, with a budget of $300. Whether the video was responsible for the song's success or not is debatable, but Daylight got to silver quicker than all of the non-singles on the album other than Matilda! The track was written about a lover who pushed Harry away despite all of the affection he gave to them.

Both are highlights! Daylight is a vibe

6 7.93 Music for a Sushi Restaurant
I dig your cinema: Ansel (9.5)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: RyanFM (3)
The first single drop is the latest one! Music for a Sushi Restaurant opens the album and was one of the biggest immediate hits from the album, peaking at #3 in the UK in album release week and continuing to hold as the third biggest track from the album, now certified gold. Its single push didn't amount to much, but by that point it hardly mattered. Harry said the inspiration for the song came when he heard a Fine Line track in a sushi restaurant: "I was in a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles with my producer and one of our songs came on from the last album, and I kind of said, like, “This is really strange music for a sushi restaurant.”" It got the lowest score given out in the entire rate, surprisingly not from dannjohn, but still manages to reach the top half of the results.

I really don't get the dislike for Sushi Restaurant.
It wasn't immediate for me but now I love the song.
(Hate the video though)

5 8.20 Satellite
I dig your cinema: RyanFM (11)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: dannjohn (4)
Jumping into averages above 8 now and we come to Satellite, RyanFM's favourite song on the album. Satellite is about wanting to be there for someone who keeps you at a distance, using the analogy of a satellite observing a planet. The track has featured on the Love on Tour setlist and is now certified silver in the UK!
Posted by: HausofTove 23rd December 2022, 07:11 PM
Catching up and can't argue with too many of the results. I'd have Sushi... in the top 5 though
Happy to see Matilda still in the running - shock top 3 place please (although it has tough competition with the big singles still to come).
Posted by: JosephCarey 23rd December 2022, 07:57 PM
4 8.43 Matilda
I dig your cinema: Maz, JosephStyles, HausofTove, Nina West, Lunar (10)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: dannjohn (4)
Things are heating up now as album track Matilda drops out in 4th place. Inspired by the Roald Dahl book of the same name, Matilda is a song about somebody whose family didn't treat them well, issuing a reminder that home is not necessarily a place but a state of mind. The track has been one of the most popular from the album, just missing out on Harry's top 3 songs in the UK but eventually peaking at #37.

3 9.13 Late Night Talking
I dig your cinema: Maz, Nina West (11)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: blacksquare, dannjohn, RyanFM (7)
Late Night Talking finishes third in the rate and is the first song with an average of above 9. The song, which was first premiered during Harry's Coachella set, is rumoured to be about Olivia Wilde, his now-ex girlfriend. The song quickly became the second most popular song on streaming services and was released as the second Harry's House single, having peaked at #2 in the UK. It's just been certified platinum too!

Late Night Talking deffo his best song after Watermelon Sugar

2 9.17 Daydreaming
I dig your cinema: Nick F1, ...ready for it, dannjohn (11)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: blacksquare (6)
Perhaps one of the biggest surprises of the rate for me is seeing how high this has managed to get! No complaints though, Daydreaming is one of the breeziest songs on the album. It samples “Ain’t We Funkin Now" by The Brothers Johnson and features John Mayer playing electric guitar! The track was (rudely) left off the Love on Tour setlist at first but was added to the recent US leg dates, so hopefully it's still on there next summer when I see him!

1 9.97 As It Was
I dig your cinema: JosephStyles, HausofTove, Ansel, pippa, Jay (11)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: RyanFM (7)
Of course, it wasn't going to be anything else! With only one score below 9, As It Was is clearly *the* defining song of 2022. Harry described the song as being about "metamorphosis, embracing change and former self, perspective shift and all that kind of stuff." The only song released in advance of the album, As It Was debuted at #1 in the UK and US with ease, holding the top spot for a total of 10 and 15 weeks there respectively.

Thank you for hosting this, Joseph!
No surprises about As It Was winning but it thoroughly deserves to. It was love at first listen for me & is my favourite song by Harry to date. 
Daydreaming in 2nd! I didn’t see that one coming but it’s certainly a highlight of the album for me, within my personal Top 5!
Posted by: Sour Candy 29th December 2022, 04:07 PM
As It Was truly is outstanding, but still that score is super high!
Posted by: Jessie Where 29th December 2022, 05:17 PM
'Love of My Life' and 'Daylight' are too low, but then I can't grumble as I didn't participate.
