Bloodline Track 4 on 'thank u, next' Not me preparing to write a tribute to Shangela then remembering it's NASA she features on 'Bloodline' is the 2nd song from thank u, next in the top 10. As much as I love the lyrics (lowkey her funniest ever) they're not what I come to this for, it's just pure pop perfection The reggae-trap-pop is almost a genre of it's own and it bops so hard. I love how anthemic the song is and the last chorus after the middle 8 slaps the absolute hardest. Sheesh This had to be in the top 5, it's too much of a tune not to be! Favourite Lyrics: Get it like you love me But you don't, boy, it's just for show And no need to apologize, no But you gon' have to let this shit go I know what you think, what you think you see I know what you looking for, but I'm complete

I think it could've been a 'Side To Side' type hit. This era had a lot more mileage in general really D: ah well, at least it means there's a lot of fan favourite album tracks to be found.

Aw I think I remember you saying that in the listenthrough the other day, I kinda get how it could burn out quickly as it's extremely instant. It was a top 5 hit in the making and they just ditched it QUOTE(Jordan Lee @ Jun 13 2020, 12:49 AM) bloodline really did deserve single treatment I think it could’ve been even bigger than break up with your gf I’m bored if it had gotten a single push. I adore it. It’s a sure fire banger what hasn’t aged at all for me! Ty Jordan! As much as I adore Break up, it wasn't an especially long running hit, bearing in mind it was a #1 single. I think Bloodline could've gotten more longevity for sure.

'Needy' is that bitch. Generic comment ik but I just vibe so hard with this song . The lyrics are my favourite by her of any song on this countdown, they click with the psychotic beat to produce a MOOD of a song. The beat is plodding but in a...great way? I didn't want to cram the favourite lyrics part but honourable mention goes to 'sorry if I say sorry way too much', hands up who relates It's this high (and even challenged for top three) because it's in that special category of songs I wanna lie down and just take in, feeling those lyrics. It's a glorious twisted anthem which deserves all your love! I would've had this as the opener actually, it sums up the album better than Imagine imo Favourite Lyrics: Passionate, but I don't give no f***s I admit that I'm a lil' messed up And I can be needy, way too damn needy I can be needy, tell me how good it feels to be needed You can go ahead and call me selfish But after all this damage, I can’t help it (Help it)

It's cliche af but the only term that comes to mind talking about this song is pop perfection, it's crammed to the BRIM with pop hooks, the moment that prolonged 'greedaaaaaay' strikes and the beat kicks in you realise you're in for a pop ride. What a bedroom 2am bop anthem though, 'I ain't talking money I'm just physically obsessed' is that singalong lyric . I love the sonic diversity as well, the dreamy instrumental in the pre-chorus (been in that state of mind x2 ) and of course the key change which unlocks the door to gay heaven. It's predictable to have this up here but everyone loves it for a reason. Favourite Lyrics: Been in this state of mind, been in this state of mind Baby, you got lucky, 'cause you're rocking with the best and I'm greedy I ain't talking money, I'm just physically obsessed You know that I'm coming tonight (ah)

I remain devastated and bitter at 'Everyday' to this day.

Thinking Bout You Final track on 'Dangerous Woman' Too many lyrics ik but I couldn't cut any of those Just missing out is the glorious, the MAJESTIC 'Thinking Bout You'. My 'journey' with this song so to speak was weird, I payed it little attention for 3 years then whoosh. In. love. She really did that. I've said before that Ariana is so good at embodying that feeling of being in love and infatuated and this song and my #1 are the most stunning examples of those. I'm terrible at long commentary so I'll keep my adoration short and sweet, I also feel like I could do a critical essay on this song praising it :') My English dissertation at uni, "A study of how Ariana Grande describes love in 'Thinking Bout You' and '[My #1]". Ariana's vocals go to exactly the right place, her delivery of 'where the hell are you' (snappy yet romantic queen ____) and in the middle 8 in general is <3 Yeah this is incredible and y'all better agree. Favourite Lyrics: Yeah, I been missing you Where the hell are you, oh, when I need you? Oh, I don't have you here with me But at least I have the memory I tried to make it through the night But I can't control my mind Had my eyes rolling back Had me arching my back

I agree that the middle 8 is a particular highlight I'm gutted that we weren't able to unleash it in AF Idol but hopefully next time!

First of all Ari, 'Touch It' is not boring and when I see you for the first time next era you will perform it k? And Track 13 on the deluxe, meaning most people who went into HMV or ASDA to purchase the album won't even have it? Ari please. But she made up for all that by producing this f*ing masterpiece. Not just her best album track, but her best song. Ever. I love her songs that build but this does it in the most incredible way possible, the relative minimality in Verse 1 progressing to that smooth, effortless chorus which then turns into a BREATHTAKING second chorus. Then you get a brief chance to come down from the high at the middle 8 before that last chorus goes and goes and goes, every second getting more pulsating. My use of words probably seems a bit much :') but it's honestly how I feel about 'Touch It'. As I said for #2, it just embodies love, whether that be in a relationship (lol) or even a crush. It's sensual but never unclassy or anything. Wow. Favourite Lyrics:** How do I make the phone ring? Why do I even care? How are you all around me when you're not really there? When you're not really there? How do I feel you on me when you're not on my skin? Why do you say you want me, then tell me "I'm not coming in"? Baby, just come on in 'Cause every time I'm with you, I go into a zone And I remember all the places you wanna go Take me all the way Ain't nobody gonna touch it, touch it, touch it 'Cause every time I see you, I don't wanna behave I'm tired of being patient, so let's pick up the pace Take me all the way Ain't nobody gonna touch it, touch it, touch it How do you know I'm breathing, when I'm holding my breath? Why don't we face the danger just for the night and forget? Baby, let's just forget Remind me why we're taking a break It's obviously insane 'Cause we both know what we want So why don't we fall in love? Baby, let's fall in love 'Cause every time I'm with you, I go into a zone And I remember all the places you wanna go Take me all the way Ain't nobody gonna touch it, touch it, touch it 'Cause every time I see you, I don't wanna behave I'm tired of being patient, so let's pick up the pace Take me all the way Ain't nobody gonna touch it, touch it, touch it Oh, ain't nobody gonna touch it, touch it, touch it Baby, ain't nobody gonna touch it, touch it, touch it Baby, ain't nobody gonna touch it, touch it, touch it Ain't nobody gonna touch it Remind me why we're taking a break It's obviously insane 'Cause we both know what we want So why don't we fall in love? Baby, let's be in love 'Cause every time I'm with you, I go into a zone And I remember all the places you wanna go Take me all the way Ain't nobody gonna touch it, touch it, touch it 'Cause every time I see you, I don't wanna behave I'm tired of being patient, so let's pick up the pace Take me all the way Ain't nobody gonna touch it, touch it, touch it Baby, ain't nobody gonna Baby, ain't nobody gonna Baby, ain't nobody gonna

I approve of an entirely 'Dangerous Woman' top 3 <3 I still can't believe Ariana thinks 'Touch It' is boring but at least BuzzJack knows where it's at - it seems to have a lot of stans on here and of course finished top 3 in the 'Dangerous Woman' survivor . another one that fell short of getting a chance to shine in AF Idol, some of these themed rounds suited Ariana so well - imagine your bonus tracks being this good!! Such a soaring chorus <3 Really enjoyed this countdown
