Poor 'sweetener' tracks getting rekt here but in fairness I barely remember any of them oops (and the album tracks were mostly below the quality of the majority of 'thank u, next' so I can't say I don't agree with the results xx 'everytime' was a notable exception so glad that is the highest placed 'sweetener' album track). How did 'the light is coming' finish behind the 5 second intro track though?? x
'imagine' is way too low, that's a really lovely song. |

12. fake smile // 7.9 lovin' it: LMLou (11) / thank u, next: HarryEzra, Dexton (5) 11. everytime // 7.98 lovin' it: LewisGT, Jay (10) / thank u, next: Dexton (4.5) Just outside the top 10 now! A fifth thank u, next track drops out, leaving over half the album to occupy the top 10. fake smile was an instant highlight for me personally, and it peaked at #26 on the Hot 100, only the ninth highest track from the album behind the three singles, promo single imagine and five others, so Buzzjack like it more than the US did! Just missing the top 10 is the highest Sweetener album track. everytime misses out by 0.8 of a point. It peaked at #62 on the Hot 100 - the second highest new track to make the chart! Ariana has said it drifts in and out of being in her top 5 Sweetener songs, and it was co-written by Max Martin. We're now only left with the three Sweetener singles in the top 10! sweetener: 12/15 thank u next: 05/12 |

Everytime is by far my favourite album track from Sweetener, so I'm glad to see it's the highest in the results! It deserved Top 10 though x

^ I agree that 'Everytime' deserved top 10, it's a beaut! Admittedly it took me a while to connect the title and song however, because it isn't that prominent, I think 'Back To You' would've been a better title in terms of memorability
 Mollie King teas x 'fake smile' feels about right though, a lovely moment on 'thank u, next' but not one of my absolute favourites. Wow at that album representing 7/10 of the top 10  I'll be kicking it off tomorrow, here is the top 10 in alphabetical order: 7 rings bad idea bloodline break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored breathin ghostin God is a woman NASA no tears left to cry thank u, next Feel free to predict/post your order of preference! |

Even though a fair few results I'd have switched around... I think that's the top 10 I would have gone for / predicted!
No Tears... is coming for a gargantuan average and win though - and rightfully so.

QUOTE(Theonix @ Jun 18 2019, 11:04 PM)  I'd swap ghostin for everytime but otherwise that's a very solid top 10! Same, Everytime is definitely the strongest album track from sweetener, Ghostin is beautiful, but for me Everytime has the edge. Any how, BEAUTIFUL top 10. I wish 9 of them were singles. |

No spoilers of course, but my order of preference would be:
01. God is a woman 02. no tears left to cry 03. 7 rings 04. ghostin 05. break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored 06. breathin 07. NASA 08. bad idea 09. thank u, next 10. bloodline What a brilliant set of top 10 songs!! 'bad idea' only being my 8th favourite there feels so weird. A testament to the quality of what's left. |

As a wild guess:
1. NTLTC 2. TY,N 3. God is a woman 4. bad idea 5. BUWYGIB 6. Breathin 7. 7 Rings 8. NASA 9. Bloodline 10. ghostin But it’s gonna be so close between the Top 5/6 idek. No Tears will win by a landslide but I can kinda see thank u, next or god is a woman showing a bit of competition |

10. NASA // 8.06 lovin' it: digitalking, Jade (10) / thank u, next: LMLou (5), NickF1 (5.5) Kicking off the top 10 is 'NASA', track 3 from 'thank, u next'! This begins an entire upper echelon with 8+ averages. The song cleverly incorporates a double entendre, with themes of both space ("you know I'm a star...") and needing space from someone ("...imma need space"). Hence Ariana answering "sort of" when asked if this song was about space before we heard it for the first time. It's about being stable on your own, which feels very relevant after Ari settled on being single for a while, following a couple of high-profile relationships. The song opens with the empowering lines: "This is one small step for woman, one giant leap for woman-kind" and fun fact, it's actually drag-queen Shangela who says those words. The song then quickly becomes an addictively catchy and bouncy moment on the album. It really stands out to me as a lot of fun in amongst a lot of chill-out songs. Ariana actually said that she had the most fun making both 'NASA' and '7 rings' from the album, I can see why. This happens to be one of my absolute favourites from 'thank u, next', hence being one of the two posters to give it a 10, so I'm thrilled that it snuck into the top 10. I shall forever dream of this being released as a single with a space-themed video to accompany it. Alas, Ariana just had to break our hearts by calling it a day after 3. Ah well. sweetener: 12/15 thank u next: 06/12 |

I love that song, it's probably the one I catch myself randomly singing the most. If I talk about the album at work (for what ever reason I can find), I've had it a few times where people have said that they "Like the one about Space".

9. ghostin // 8.26 lovin' it: blacksquare (11) / thank u, next: LMLou (4) Fresh off the press of its Lounge inspired thread and at my personal favourite position in rates (  ) is 'ghostin'. This dreamy, slow and emotional track shows off the stunning vocals of Ariana to a repetitively haunting instrumental. Gaining an 11 from blacksquare and multiple 10's and 9's, this track proves popular with Buzzjack posters due to its evident uniqueness. sweetener: 12/15 thank u next: 07/12 |

I adore Ghostin - emotional/vulnerable/stunning is the perfect description for it.
  I'd love to see her sing this live, but I totally understand why she says she can't do it.

My favourite album track from 'thank, u next' - it's gorgeous, from the lyrics to her vocals
I remember hearing it for the first time while walking to work earlier in the year and being floored by how emotional it was. The revelation of it sampling a Mac song made it even moreso. So so heartfelt

8. bloodline // 8.5 lovin' it: Jonjo, jakewild, SamJudd, Doug, Liam, Calum, Juliano, Harry Ezra, Dexton, Theonix, Jordan Lee, JosephAvery, UltraME! Jay (10) / thank u, next: coi (4) Next up: SUMMER SMASH!! THE NEXT SINGLE FROM THA... oh wait... None for Gretchen Wieners, no 11s for 'bloodline' (but an impressive fourteen 10s) and more annoyingly, no music video. I was waiting for Scream Queens meets Baywatch realness. 'bloodline' is a real highlight from 'thank u, next' and screamed out to most of us as being a clear future single for the Summer months, giving us 'Side To Side 2019' vibes. Will definitely be interesting to see how this one fairs in my upcoming 'Shoulda been a single contest'. The track begins with a funny snippet of Ari's grandmother; "Nonna", complaining about her new hearing aid, but that's definitely what it sounds like. 'bloodline' entered the top 20 in eight countries and and top 100 in eleven others, however missed out in the UK due to chart rules and heavy streaming of 'needy'. sweetener: 12/15 thank u next: 08/12 |

If she had released Bloodline and NASA pre-album then they would have both been massive smashes. I can't believe they're sitting on them.
Ghostin' is just perfect and wonderful. |
