Omg yes the crash! :lol: 'Into You' underperforming on the charts... what was that about?! But it made up for it with sales. What an f'ing great song. Definitely deserved a place in the top 3. EDIT: Also, the Mac Miller remix is news to me too Lewis! :lol:

Very that! I have the same concern, I'm rooting for Camden hard at the moment but I have an awful image of her and Jorgeous in the bottom and I'm feeling like Camden might be the only person to slay Jorgeous, especially if they get a rockier lip sync song. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Oh wow I wasn't expecting that! And an Anitta cover... even more intriguing. :P

My top 2 are TIGHT and they could change at any moment tbh, but I always tend to stand by NMSS, especially because I was so thrilled it was a post-album single which I never thought would bless the ears of radio listeners. 1. No More Sad Songs 2. Sweet Melody 3. Salute 4. Secret Love Song 5. Change Your Life

I was thinking this straight away, so she's either going to tie was Kameron as the most successful lip sync assassin of all time, or they're going to do a slow old timey lip sync song that she doesn't vibe with to get her out.

4: kHLHSlExFis God is a woman (393 points) Just shy of 400 points is Grammy winning album sweetener's stunning second single 'God is a woman', which was released to critical acclaim a month before the album. Many of Ariana's family, most notably her Nonna and Mother stated that it was their favourite song from the record. I truly believed on hearing the (Ilya produced, Max Martin penned) track, that it would become an easy #1 single for her around the globe due to it's Hip Hop vibe, message, anticipation for the new album and fans drive after 'no tears' missed the top spot. Similarly to 'breathin' it did manage the feat in Iceland and Israel. However it peaked higher in most other regions, notably managing top 5 in the UK coming it at #4 and top 10 in the US, getting to #8 but I really REALLY thought it would go top 3 in the USA. It has collected a Platinum certification in the UK and a Double Plat in the US after shifting over 2 million units. Promotion for the track included my favourite ever TV performance from Ariana at the 2018 MTV VMAs, where Ariana was joined on stage by over 50 female dancers, reenacting the last supper. The music video was directed by Dave Meyers who also produced the 'no tears' music video. It proved highly controversial and imagery heavy. Some scenes of note include; biblical homage of the creation of Adam and Eve, as well as Roman and Greek mythology including Romulus and Remus, Ariana bathing in a pool of coloured paint in the shape of a vagina, a monologue from Madonna and a screaming beaver. This is of course major stan Jade's +40, but it did manage to score pretty massive points from nearly all voters. ready for it..., kath, Cremey and Brer all put in in their top 5. Myself, Nick, Lewis, Riser, Highausakite, Liam and London all gave it big points too. Lunar scored it a measly 2 points, however it does mean that every single voter gave it points.

Without a shadow of a doubt in my mind, it would have been another smash single if it was single 2, probably certified Gold and radios would have eaten it up.

I have no doubt they are running in the same circles with their dance collabs, plus they both came from reality TV shows, they probably have a lot in common.

7: kN0iD0pI3o0 breathin (334 points) The third and final single from 'sweetener' was 'breathin' is our next out, with a rather large jump in points from 8th. It proved to be a fan favourite straight out of the gate. The song charted at it's peak position in most territories post album release in August 2018, a month before it's official release as a single in September. This was also partly due to the fact it's music video was heavily delayed and end up being released AFTER the following single (suprise hit 'thank u, next') was released in November. For this reason it was very much overshadowed and didn't really get it's full time to shine. Despite this, it did manage to chart at #1 in Iceland and Israel, as well as top 10 in the UK, just missing out in the US peaking at #12. We were also treated to a promotional TV performance on 'Ellen', which became one of my favourite live Ariana TV performances of all time, simply down to the raw emotion she conveyed. Quite unusually 'breathin' was produced solely by Ariana's long-term collaborator ILYA with no credit being given to his usual partner in production Max Martin. In the beautiful music video Ariana looks gorgeous whisping her way through clouds on a swing and in a train station, where the departure signs tease song titles from the then soon to be released 'thank u, next' album including 'Needy', 'Imagine' and scrapped song 'Remember' (supposedly stylized as "reMeMber" in honor of Mac Miller). There was also a second video featuring Piggy Smallz. Now the facts are out of the way 'breathin' is within my top 5 most streamed songs by Ariana, it's message is so essential to life and it just keeps me going, so I find myself going back to it whenever I need, it's like musical diazepam for me and I hope for many others. The theme of the song clearly revolves around Ariana's experience with anxiety and mental health issues following the Manchester attack and although I hope a huge majority of you won't ever go through something anything near as traumatic, it's helped so many people just as much for all kinds of reasons. I'm struggling to explain myself, but you get the gist. LOVE seeing this strongly in our top 10. Fellow mod Lewis gave it his top marks. Nick, kath and Riser put it in their Top 5. It got a Top 10 ranking from myself (in fact bang on #7). Other good scores came from ...ready for it, Jade, Cremey, Highausakite, Lunar, Brer and Liam.

You make a good point. -_- Sometimes when I attempt to be an optimist, reality comes along. <_< One can dream! :P

No not at all! ^_^ I know right, it's the song I listen to theirs the most of late and it still holds it's place on many of my playlists including driving and nights in. :wub:

What an iconic duo :wub: Such career highlights, I lived for her live performance of 'Be Alright' as there was a part of me that wanted it to be released as a Charity Double A-Side (with One Last Time) after Manchester because of it's message. I too am baffled about her 'Touch It' shade, it just so exhilarating and gorgeous, I imagine she was singing it carelessly, belting in the eye of a tornado. There's some imagery for you.

I share this opinion.

I think you're right and I think Lee got the ticket, a new and final track would do it and It's not something totally unreasonable to think they could do. A TV performance of a medley, A couple of signings to say goodbye to fans and Bob's your Uncle.

My opinions constantly change... 1. Break Free 2. Into You 3. God is a Woman 4. 7 Rings 5. 34+35 6. Baby I

I think 'Sorry if I Hurt You' has taken it's place as my favourite track from the project.

Strange you mentioned that, I was telling someone about that earlier this week. Oh dear! :lol: I wouldn't have been mad if it had beat them. B-)

:o I'm not old you are!! -_-

These Deluxe tracks only make the album more sublime. 'Sorry If I Hurt You' is my favourite, you can really hear The 1975 in 'How Can I Not Know What I Need Right Now', I could clearly imagine Matt Healy on it.

11: tcYodQoapMg positions (248 points) Another of my top 5 misses the top 10 and only by a measly amount of votes. :( That said our Top 10 is as strong as ever. ^_^ The night that 'positions' and Little Mix's 'Sweet Melody' dropped was a bloody brilliant one and one I'll likely never forget, maybe I associate it with the song, that and the fact '7 Days' by Craig David is one of my favourite songs of all time and it's very much in the same lane except featuring my favourite female vocalist... puts it RIGHT up there for me, it's already become my 4th most streamed song by her. The R&B tinged, breezy lead single from her latest album of the same name was released on October 23rd 2020 having been announced mere days before it's release. It went on to become her 3rd #1 of the year in the US and 5th overall there, her other two being just the year before. In the UK it became her 7th #1 single, it remained in that position for 6 weeks, proving it was a smash with the GP. On Buzzjack however opinions were (and still are) rather mixed on the track, perhaps due to the fact we were being rather oversaturated with Ariana material at the time and many fans have become tired of her R&B/Trap releases. Brer and myself were it's biggest supporters ranking it in our top 5 (37 points each), other big voters included ...ready for it, Nick, Cremey, Lewis and Riser. Jade put it in the middle of the pack while Kath, Highausakite and Lunar put it lower down their lists.

:rofl:

Oh wow! I didn't catch her sharing this on her socials, it was for a political rally, what a moment for an iconic song! :wub: fSV1yHdDLVU?

It's going to be interesting to see how this does, she really needs to launch it off a bigger hit. Including 'I Wish' would probably do wonders for streaming sales.

I am SO happy that we get Coconut Mall, that was always my favourite on the Wii! :D

The only circumstance 'Everyday' should have ever been pushed as a single is a comfortable 8th single after Greedy, Thinking Bout You, Be Alright and Touch It. ;)
