9th DON'T BLAME ME 8.13

Highest score: 11 (UltraReputation, CardiiB)
Lowest score: 4 (cqmerqn)

A BOP. 9th is definitely too low. This has the big production of I Did Something Bad and Nice Things, but less problematic lyrics. Despite giving basically everything 9 or 10, my comod Sam picked this as her absolute highlight so she won't be happy with this kink.gif

8th END GAME (FT. ED SHEERAN & FUTURE) 8.18

Highest score: 10 (Liam, Dexton, Andrew,UltraReputation, Josh, SamJudd, Cody, Joseph)
Lowest score: -1 (cqmerqn)

A slew of 10s couldn't stop this falling out in just 8th, and this is the only song other than This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things to receive a -1. On paper the names on this could be a mess but it works and feels so epic, surely a future single (I know it kind of is but I mean properly once all this mess settles).

Liam, I think you posted these particularly early! HOW ARE THEY NOT TOP 5? I thought they were shoe-in's! ohmy.gif I thought they were much more popular than that on here tbh. Kinda shocked.

TIWWCHNT and KOMH I adore both of them, but I kinda see why they're not liked on here.

Really shocked tbh.

If LWYMMD finishes top 3... I SWEAR! (& 'Gorgeous' tbh but less so)

'Delicate' pulling through though *.*

Wtaf at Don't Blame Me out.................. cry.gif cry.gif A modern masterpiece. <3

Not shocked that TIWWCHNT is last but I wish it was a few places higher sad.gif NYD is also gorgeous and deserved better. Most of the weaker songs going out early though *.* End Game also deserves to be higher!

7th I Did Something Bad 8.23

Highest score: 11 (Cody)
Lowest score: 0 (Davidson)

Next up is one of the hugest tracks on the album, which would have been my 11 if not for Ready For It! I LOVE the production on this, such a banger and the lyrics are so quotable - "if a man talks shit then I owe him nothing" *.*

6th Getaway Car 8.28

Highest score: 11 (Jonjo, SamJudd)
Lowest score: 0 (cqmerqn)

Just missing the top 5 is the 80s influenced track Getaway Car. This easily could have been on 1989 with its huge chorus and 80s pop sound, so is naturally quite a fan fave. I'm surprised it was this low!

5th Gorgeous 8.35

Highest score: 10 (Liam,Andrew, cqmerqn, Josh, SamJudd)
Lowest score: 5 (Joe)

Kicking off the top 5 is kind of single Gorgeous - that obv sounds odd but you all will be aware of the mess kink.gif It's been sent to radio here but End Game has just got on Ht Hits so they seem to be pushing with that, but this has peaked within the top 20 in the US and UK as a promo single already! I love this, it's definitely made for radio and has a really wide appealing sound but isn't too generic, it's got so much creativity to it melodically etc. As cheesy as there are I love the lyrics too, they nail the juvenile feelings of that first bit of infatuation where it feel like an all consuming teenage crush laugh.gif

4th Look What You Made Me Do 8.45

Highest score: 11 (cqmerqn, Harry, Josh)
Lowest score: 2.5 (Davidson)

In 4th place is the lead single for the album! I get the divisiveness, and expected this to be lower but for me this was a brilliant lead single. It got people talking, despite not being exactly the huge banger that a lead single culd have been and of course we're all aware of the genius of the best video of the year. This has a subtlety to the production and vocals, but scathing lyrics that hit you right in the face and it's a winning combo for me. The I'm Too Sexy sample is genius too tbh laugh.gif

I actually feel the opposite - “...Ready For It?” would have been my 11 had it not been for IDSB.

I think the fact that most of these songs are averaging an 8.1+ and almost nothing is separating them shows how mixed the reactions are to individual tracks even if the reaction to the album is holistically positive.

Oops sorry this is a bit late but here's your top 3 ohmy.gif


03 Call It What You Want 8.48

Highest score: 11 (Joe)
Lowest score: 3 (CardiiB)

Missing out on the all important top 2 is the album's final promo single, described as a "stark synth pop love song". This is probably one of the purest songs on the albm, it's just got such a lovely feel to it, with light and airy vocals and a vibe that just makes you want to listen to this under the stars with some you love.

So it's the hella overrated vs. the amazing second single, but which won out? ohmy.gif




































02 Delicate 8.83

Highest score: 11 (John James, DJHazey, Davidson, Haus, Cremey)
Lowest score: 5 (cqmerqn)

THANK GOD kink.gif I still am yet to really "get" Delicate, it's the weakest on the album for me :/ This got the most 11s, but Ready For It had more than triple its 10s which ofc gave it the edge. This is a fave of many of you though and accordingly does very well here. It's got an emotional and vulnerable vibe, with many people saying that this is the side Taylor should portray rather than a scathing catty side. I just find it a bit dull personally, not awful but like I said weakest on the album.


01 ...Ready For It? 9.18

Highest score: 11 (Liam, Dexton)
Lowest score: 4 (Davidson)

And there we have it, the winner is the second single released from Reputation! As the follow-up to Look What You Made Me Do, fans lauded this as being what she should have come back with as the lead. This is such an epic song, it builds to something ncredible and every time I listen to Reputation this feels like the opener to something incredible, which it is ofc. It's got that feeling of euphoria and sheer excitement about it, like you're about to face a huge final boss battle or do a skydive or something. Easily my 11 and i couldn't be happy that it has won <3

I didn't hear the album in time to rate, but lovely to see a huge amount of love for 'Delicate'... my instant favourite album track. wub.gif

'...Ready For It?' is a very worthy winner. <3

'Call It What You Want' is such a random top 3 finisher!? laugh.gif

Love the top 2, although there are one or two other tracks I prefer on the whole, I really can't moan at that top 2 wub.gif

Delicate and Call It What You Want top 3 heart.gif
For once I’m pretty pleased with how the results turned out haha. Would’ve been perfect if Getaway Car was top 3 in the place of ...Ready For It? but you can’t have everything 💁🏼‍♂️

I didn't vote in this as I hadn't heard the album prior to the closing date but I'm so pleased to see that '...Ready For It?' has won! wub.gif I think it could be my 3rd favourite Taylor song already behind 'I Knew You Were Trouble.' and 'Out Of The Woods', which is pretty impressive when I consider multiple songs on '1989' to be 10s.
