7 hours ago7 hr Take Me Home Country Roads was played in a restaurant when I was in India and me and the Americans I was travelling had a bit of a fun moment with it, a timeless song xSwimming Pools (Drank) is one of my favourites from Kendrick, so that's a disappointing early exit. Love on the Brain is a recent discovery from listening to ANTI and I really love the 50s doo-wop sound, I'm pleased it made it this far. No complaints about Believer that low though, that being here is borderline insulting the classics that dropped out at the semis.
6 hours ago6 hr Author 45. Lily Allen- F**k You (657 points)Writers: Lily Allen, Greg KurstinProducer: Greg KurstinUK chart peak: did not chartAchieved platinum status on 02/06/2023Top scorers: detonate 49, AaronTM 47, Jason 47Lowest scorers: gasman449 1, jimwatts 1, Julian_ 1(you got your music video licence ready? 😆 Sorry couldn't find an official upload that isn't age-restricted)Originally titled "Guess Who Batman (F**k You Very Much)", "F**k You" is included on Allen's chart-topping 2009 album It's Not Me It's You. The expletive-laden song targets an antagonist who is racist, homophobic and pro-war: Allen later revealed that the song was written about former US president George W. Bush. Allen performed the song with Olivia Rodrigo during the latter's 2022 Glastonbury set, in protest of the overruling of Roe v. Wade in the US. Edited 5 hours ago5 hr by gasman449
5 hours ago5 hr Author I'm maintaining impartiality as host while announcing results but I'll drop my thoughts on each song separately after posting each day's results:Love On The Brain- much prefer some of Rihanna's other eligible tracks and would've had "Kiss It Better" in the final over this. Not a bad song at all but I definitely see it as the least essential song in the final if that makes sense. Not deserving of last place anyway!Believer- not a fan of the Dragons but not a big time hater either- they've released some genuinely good songs but I can't say this is one of them. Not upset with its second last place.Swimming Pools- love Kendrick and this song but wouldn't have chosen it as his best eligible song. Much prefer Money Trees, Alright, King Kunta and M.A.A.D City. Shame it's out so quickly but I saw a low position coming.Take Me Home, Country Roads- I like "Annie's Song" and "Leaving On A Jet Plane" from Denver but have never liked this, not a fan of most country music. I just think of cowboy memes when I hear this, can't take it seriously.Lost- Definitely my favourite of Frank's eligible songs so I'm glad it made the final. Thought it would've done a little better but I'm glad it got this far anyway.F**k You- cannot stand Lily Allen at all, hate her music. I appreciate the lyrics but her voice and the music are awful to me. Edited 5 hours ago5 hr by gasman449
5 hours ago5 hr “Lost” is beautiful: it would definitely have gone Top 40 but for them clinging to the no resets for a track more than 3 years old rule.
5 hours ago5 hr Poor Kendrick but not surprising, I'm glad it reached the final after 'Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe' didn't get much loveI really like 'Lost' as well but don't particularly care for anything else that has dropped out so far. Lana recently ended her concerts with a cover of 'Take Me Home, Country Roads', so maybe hearing that in a live setting could've helped it click, alas left just before it started to escape the mad dash of crowds at the end 'F**k You' was an early BuzzJack Song Contest winner under the aformentioned original title 'Guess Who Batman'!
