Now that I've read all the threads, you're probably right Lucky for him to have one hit single without a video.

Please, choose 11 songs (including Calvin's) and post them in the comments of the thread. This round ends on May 15 at 5:59pm. BST and don't forget it's a double elimination.

This could also be an opportunity to snatch a big collab from another forum (Ellie, Rih, Dua) before they do it to Calvin To my understanding, lead artists get priority, so I don't think Ellie would be able to take 'I Need Your Love' or 'Outside' for example, and Calvin wouldn't be able to take 'We Found Love'. 'One Kiss' is probably up in the air, however, given the '&' credit (like how 5H/Camila were able to take 'Señorita' first). Edit: the Dua thread are considering 'One Kiss' too for the same reason so this could be tense This post has been edited by Rush: 15th May 2020, 07:24 PM

wayback machine gif rescuer Joined: 3 April 2013 Posts: 3,771 User: 18,564	So, since I'm the first one to post here, if anyone's reading this before any other threads, round 5 is: ROUND 5: Worst single > For artist forums that are dedicated to one artist: The single MUST have finished bottom 3 in the artists rate (if there's an ultimate rate - skip past the non-singles) and if you're lucky enough to have a bottom 3 over the average of 5, then kudos - that's fair play. I searched for a rate of his and found this (correct me if there's a more recent one that should be used): QUOTE(danG @ Mar 7 2018, 11:35 PM) 42 5.26 Open Wide (feat. Big Sean) 43 4.79 Off The Record (with Tinchy Stryder & Burns) 44 4.12 Hype (with Dizzee Rascal) Fun! I actually liked 'Open Wide', though from memory I feel like everyone disliked it in the chart show thread. I got nothing out of 'Hype' and don't remember a single thing about it, and I've never heard 'Off The Record' since it's not on Spotify here.

BuzzJack Legend Pronouns: he/him Joined: 25 July 2013 Posts: 26,030 User: 19,585	Lmao there's a lot of hatred towards some of Calvin's songs. We have an idea in mind but just need to come to a unanimous decision

you never forget your first time... Pronouns: he/him Joined: 19 April 2011 Posts: 121,692 User: 13,530	I don't think Open Wide was ever anything more than a promo single? That'd throw Nuh Ready Nuh Ready in instead, not much more helpful

Out of the four that have been mentioned so far Open Wide is probably the least worst for me just because it's a vocal version of C.U.B.A. which was pretty good without the lyrics!

is in hibernation Joined: 24 August 2014 Posts: 11,385 User: 21,161	But it was a single, just because it wasn't one here? There's nothing in the rules of the round that says that.
