I'm in a 'can't listen due to overplaying' period with the top two but I've been obsessed with both at one point!! Surprised to see 'Bon Appetit' so high, I know it brought round a few people but I still thought it was generally disliked :o

 

'Tsunami' should've won </3

Chained please!!

 

Swish is my personal favourite though and it's a shame to see it lower than I expected (I thought it'd be 2nd behind Chained!).

I've had a massive U-turn for BA - so so good! Swish is my favourite though so gutted it hasn't come out nearer the top.

I've also U-turned on BA since its release. It's weird considering how fiercely I disliked it for so long. :lol:

02. Bon Appétit
(feat. Migos)

Average: 8.777

Lovers - 11 (Joe) // 10 (Josh, Jonjo, Liam, Sean, Andrew, Davidson, Michael, Jupiter, Rob, Bal)
Haters - 0 (Sam) // 4 (blacksquare)



01. Chained to the Rhythm
(feat. Skip Marley)

Average: 9.805

Lovers - 11 (Josh, Liam, Harry, all is vanity, Jupiter, Ultra) // 10 (Joe, Sean, Michael, Joseph)
Haters - 7.5 (Atonement) // 8 (Andrew)



In the end, Chained to the Rhythm proves to be pretty undeniable and destroys all competition beating its nearest competition by quite a lot. Bon Appétit seemed to win over a lot of its early detractors (including me) as the single release went on but ultimately, it's not enough to overcame Chained which seemed to have everyone chuffed with Katy's comeback when it first was released. Unfortunately, the era from then on only seemed to get worse reviews as it went on which was especially disappointing as we were all hoping for a proper #wokepop album from her </3

Thanks for doing this Josh :heart: 'Tsunami' (am I it's only fan here tbh, someone back me up ;o) Power and Pendulum should've been way higher but otherwise this seems pretty accurate ~

 

On the whole 'woke' thing imo if she'd done that throughout the whole era and not just 'Chained To The Rhythm' (obviously there are other theories but that's the only part of the era where it was prominent) it would've just alienated the GP even more :(

Awful album.

 

Lmao at me and Sam almosy havin the same opinions throughout!!!

 

It was the right top2, maybe with witness as 3 for the best top3.

06. Bigger Than Me

 

Average: 7.500

 

Lovers - 10 (Joe, Atonement, Regina)

Haters - 0 (Michael) / 3 (Blacksquare)

 

Iconic lyrics:

I'm really quite shocked at Bigger Than Me making it so high here as it still has never really stood out to me. It's nice enough but it sort of just plods along and definitely feels like album filler to me. It's probably one of the few tracks on the album where I could barely tell you how it goes and there are much stronger tracks on the album for me so 6th is pretty good to be honest, maybe this should be single #4 instead of Save As Draft ?!? :o

 

Quite shocked at this tbh. The hook is huge and it's one of the songs that immediately got my attention.

 

'Roulette' should be 4th and then this should be 5th unless 'Roulette' does horrible.

 

No, IF there is another single it has to be Witness.

No, IF there is another single it has to be Witness.

 

We should not have to witness another single.

 

Like, ok I'm obviously a hater (not until this album though and I still enjoy all her previous albums). But, you'd think it be clear to her and her team to move on. Re release it, do somethin'. Fix it Jesus.

Yeah I'm a bit worried if she decides to release a 4th single because there is a big chance it could underperform which could do her career/chances at radio support etc. a lot of damage. She's managed to bring it back slightly with Swish but I think the best thing would be to move on from the era quickly and release a pop banger soon and all will be forgotten :lol:

The best thing she could do after Swish Swish is something like The Cure which sets her up nicely for KP5 and move on from this mess tbh :')
