Swish was actually top THREE for most of the rate until Sam came and saved us all at the end with her -1 *.* I agree with Sean that it sound amazing at a party/club/when completely drunk but I'm not so keen on it when sober :heehee: It grew on me in the end but it's nowhere near to being her 8th best ever single for me :/

Swish Swish and seven other songs beating Anaconda?? Shameful :o

Tactical -1 because I knew it would do well here :kink: it’s like the Stupid Hoe that didn’t flop and it only did well because of the sample and the overly sexual video.

 

Swish Swish did amazing here on the flip side though, I thought it had a decent amount of haters on here :o as well as it only being a feature.

I feel it gets so much hate on here - I'm not even sure it's because of Taylor stand which was my bad joke in the commentary :kink: a fair bit of it actually comes from the KP forum!

07. Va Va Voom

Lovers and Haters: Average of 8.66 (11 Lee /// 10 Bal, Andrew, Jade, Sean, jack, George.keh, Davidson) // 5 (Burbe)

 

Sneaking in just ahead by 0.04 we have Va Va Voom, from Nicki's second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. Given the album is definitely my favourite of Nicki's, this song is fantastic for me and is distinctly Nicki. Va Va Voom comes in at 7, having one 11 that comes from Lee and several 10s including Bal, myself and Jade, the last of which I have seen raving about this track, particularly when the AF launched last month. It's a fantastic Nicki track with some more yet great lyrics and production - the "I-I-I" repetition before launching into the chorus particularly stands out and of course the reference to the Green Goblin :kink:

 

"Swish" is a tune - definitely deserving of a place in the top 10! "Va Va Voom"...not so much.

Swish Swish is an utter tune!

06. Turn Me On
Average - 8.78
Lovers - 11 (Josh, THEO & Harry)
Haters - 4 (Cremey) // 6 (Riser)



This has always been my favourite Nicki/Guetta collar of the many they have done and it seems you guys agree as it is the highest track between the two on the countdown. It mainly features Nicki singing but she does get a short verse to show off a little catchy rap too. The chorus is one of the catchiest in her discography in my opinion and one of my favourite tracks by anyone this decade to date.

I think I've probably said this for every single song but Nicki's rap on "Turn Me On" is one of my faves! The chiropractor line particularly *_* A little sad that it missed the top five but I have no idea what's still to come.

Oops at us dropping the 'countdown so far' part!!

 

In alphabetical order:

Moment 4 Life

Pound the Alarm

Side to Side

Starships

Super Bass

 

What a top five *.*

05. Side to Side
Average - 8.84
Lovers - 10 (Josh, Liam, Sean, THEO, Burbe, Cameron, all is vanity, Jonjo)
Haters - 5 (Jade) // 6 (DanG)



Missing out on the top four due to lack of 11s (despite getting plenty of 10s) is one of Nicki's biggest hits in the last couple of years. I'm surprised it wasn't a pre-album single for Ariana to be honest but fortunately, it was picked as the third single from Dangerous Woman and it ended up being a global smash. This is definitely my favourite of the two Nicki & Ariana collabs and I'm still so glad it was massive after such a fantastic video too :wub:

Turn Me On is decent, Side to Side excellent.

 

Of the four remaining I'd hope to see Pound the Alarm at #4 as it's to me by far the weakest in the top 5.

Oh shit! What a top five! *.* I'm glad that "Side to Side" is #5, as great as it is, the Nicki rate really should have songs with her as the lead right at the top. I would love for "Moment 4 Life" to make the top two/three but I feel like it's going to be #4 :(

BODY SMOKING SO THEY CALL ME YOUNG NICKI CHIMINEY

 

Side to side really was the track to make me love both artists. It will be a classic and the video is just :lol:

04. Moment 4 Life
Average - 8.84
Lovers - 11 (Jade, Jupiter, Haus)
Haters - 6 (Cameron, liamk97)



The second highest track from Pink Friday (of course, Super Bass is yet to come!!) lands in fourth place here. I'm chuffed this has come so high as I wouldn't have predicted it at the start of the rate but it has managed to beat out so many of her poppier/dancier big smash hits which is really rather impressive. It does seem like one of her most fondly remembered tracks by the general public too and has really stood the test of time. A future rap classic perhaps?!

POUND THE ALARM VS. STARSHIPS VS. SUPER BASS
Any predictions?

Turn Me On and Side To Side two of her best features :wub:

 

Yes at Moment 4 Life too :cheer:

03. Pound the Alarm
Average - 9.16
Lovers - 11 (Mack & Cameron)
Haters - 6 (Jade) // 7 (Andrew & Haus)



The first of three tracks to have an average of above 9 *.* It probably comes as no surprise that the big pop solo singles from Nicki have made up the top three and this was the smallest hit of the three so not a surprising bronze medal at all. It's a catchy track and I still have loads of fun listening to it but the drop does sound a little nowadays and I personally wouldn't have it this high.

Can't believe I didn't rate Pound the Alarm lower than 8! What was I thinking??

 

It's not bad but really not top 3 material for me :o

Yeah that seems really odd that "Pound the Alarm" is top three - it doesn't feel like one of her biggest hits nor is it really well-remembered outside of the hardcore fans of her pop music.

 

"Starships" has probably won even if I want "Super Bass" to win :lol:

Turn Me On/Side To Side *.* Ew at Swish coming top 10 (and its not even just the obvious Taylor connections why I hate it, if it wasn't about Taylor it'd still probs only be about 2 a for me :kink:).

 

Happy with either winner tbh <3
