Average Change from last rate: +0.35
Chart-Run: 14-15


This low-key getting what it deserved. It's nice but a very 6/10 and the joint weakest on Rep for me. It's kinda the definition of a filler album track. After just escaping the wooden spoon last time by 0.05, this time it misses out on 14th by 0.04! Anyway it's average this time would've been good enough for 13th last time so y'all stanning this album more *.*
This was the only song from Rep that wasn't part of the official setlist and unfortunately she decided to debut this as the surprise song at my tour date ofc when I wanted the surprise song to be so many of her other classics

The closing track on Rep is next up as New Year's Day marginally escapes last place. This is a pretty lovely ballad, the next All Too Well that will make you cry forever it is not though (which is what the secret sessions people claimed). The lyrics are lovely and this is a NYD staple for me now <3 The stranger line is one of the best on the album. I can see why this isn't loved too much though and it doesn't increase much from the initial impressions rate. This was a MOMENT on tour though with the Long Live medley <3

It's quite interesting seeing Buzzjack's take on Reputation. I feel there's quite a few songs here that do incredibly different to how they are perceived basically everywhere else

Posted by: ...ready for it Apr 21 2019, 08:52 PM

So It Goes... is so underrated.

Posted by: JosephAvery Apr 21 2019, 09:37 PM

The right last placer, New Year's Day deserves better though!

Average Change from last rate: -1.23
Chart-Run: 5-13

That drop!! Ouch.

Gorgeous came top 5 last time around we did this but completely plummets this year to fall way short of the top 10. I love the song but idek how it did so well last time around, it's definitely not top 5 on the album & has never really been a fan fave. Gorgeous was kinda pushed as a single in that very messy unclear strategy, it got radio playlisting but nothing on spotify, was a single and wasn't and f*** knows what. a MESS. It's a cute pop song and I use it pretty often, not one of her standout tracks. Also ik a lot of people find the lyrics to be awful, they aren't her strongest haha. Anyway this suffers a major -1.23 average drop this time around oops

So It Goes deserves better, the other 2 are 2 of my least faves so won’t be missed

Posted by: Doug Apr 23 2019, 03:46 PM

Gorgeous actually getting placed where it deserves! No idea what you were all on last time when it was top 5, it’s alright but a little cringeworthy.

Both of the other two deserved better though. Hopefully Dress is out soon, the clear lowlight of the album for me.

Posted by: Jonjo Apr 23 2019, 03:48 PM

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS OUT PERFORMING GORGEOUS!!!! AND EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS BY NOT FINISHING BOTTOM 2!!!! OMFG YES

Posted by: Calum Apr 23 2019, 04:06 PM

Can't say I'm disappointed with any of those so far. Gorgeous is a great track when I actually go back and listen to it, but I rarely choose to.

Posted by: Cody... WOO! Apr 23 2019, 04:12 PM

lol @ Gorgeous. It's okay as an album track but it's basically Thunder by Imagine Dragons (which was EVERYWHERE in the US at the time) so I can see why the label switched gears from it

Posted by: JosephAvery Apr 23 2019, 07:00 PM

Gorgeous just doesn't quite hit the mark it wants to hit imo. No loss there.

Chart-Run: 12-12

Yeah no songs like this on TS7 please.

Dress is a good song but is legit the definition of album filler and doesn't hit the mark it wants to. It feels like a lot weaker version of IDWLF for me. Anyway it somehow avoids the bottom three for a 2nd time around, with a slight increase in average. Ik this has its stans but yeah unless I'm listening to Rep in full, I don't think I ever go back to this.

Has TIWWCHNT done the unthinkable and actually made the top 10 Despite coming dead last in every Rep/Taylor rate on pretty much every other forum to exist

Posted by: Jordan Lee May 1 2019, 10:21 PM

Whatever the results of this...

Don’t Blame Me and Delicate are by far the best on Reputation.

Gah I wish I voted. I completely forgot Taylor had a forum on this site!

Posted by: UltraME! May 11 2019, 02:16 PM

11th & 10th coming tonight, predict away!

Posted by: blacksquare May 11 2019, 02:40 PM

Dress is easily one of the best things she did on Reputation... A mature and more subtle approach to her lyrics and sound. If only the album was more like it and Delicate.

Posted by: UltraME! Jun 12 2019, 05:38 PM

more results coming later tonight, I decided to prioritise my A-Levels above these haha x

Posted by: UltraME! Jun 12 2019, 10:48 PM

Average Change from last rate: +0.03
Chart-Run: 10-11

Yep TIWWCHNT actually made a positive top 10 for the first time, basically anywhere That means we lose underrated pop-gem Dancing With Our Hands Tied as our final casualty before the top 10! DWOHT barely jumps in average from the last rate, therefore relinquishing it's top 10 placement from the first rate. It's a very good song, not one of the best on the album but I still stan. I prefer the studio version to the acoustic tour performance tbh.

Is this why you’re delaying the rest of the results Sam? Bc absolutely no one will be happy with the results except for Joseph?

Posted by: JosephAvery Jun 14 2019, 10:00 PM

TIWWCHNT deserves to win and I'm not exaggerating

Posted by: CSB 127 Jun 14 2019, 10:17 PM

...which is exactly the reason why we can’t have nice things

Average Change from last rate: +1.25
Chart-Run: 15-10

Lol.
:lol;
Don't get me wrong, I adore TIWWCHNT. Tho I think this is literally the first ever Rep rate ever that I have seen in which this hasn't been dead last! Let alone that, it actually made the top 10 here <3 Lyrically this rubs ppl up the wrong way + the song sounding childish but idk for me I bop to it <3 I adore the Gatsby lyric and the chorus is SO catchy. Also this was a fab tour closer. This sees a major increase in average from the last rate (probs the biggest but I can't say for certain) and received everything from 11's to 10's to -1's.

Posted by: UltraME! Jun 25 2019, 10:46 PM

Average Change from last rate: +0.72
Chart-Run: 11-9

A biggish jump in average as we reach 9th place! And we reach album track King Of My Heart which missed the top 10 last time round! I'm so glad this made the top 10 comfortably this time around, I think it's probs the most underrated track on the album. This is a bit like I Know Places for me in terms of my love, I liked when heard on the album but it grew on me the most within the year after release & now I fully stan both *.* (tho IKP to a higher extent x). KOMH is fab and I love the pre-chorus and the chorus is gorgeous. This was also an easy highlight on tour and yasss at it slaying <3

Posted by: UltraME! Jun 25 2019, 10:46 PM

any predictions for 8th?

Posted by: Stray Cody Jun 25 2019, 10:48 PM

Taylor: *makes something with actual class like Dancing With Our Hands Tied*
“fans”: meh
Taylor: *throws a strop in the recording studio*
“fans”: omg I love it

Posted by: Jonjo Jun 25 2019, 10:49 PM

TIWWCHNT managing top 10!! Yyyyaaaassss. Underrated, fun bop!

I really like 'Dress' too and 'Dancing...' is very good also.

Posted by: UltraME! Jun 25 2019, 10:50 PM

TIWWCHNT is a tiny bit better than DWOHT for me oops x
