I love that I didn't even remember making the original post. Well it's funny, my original ranking still holds true in how much I like each one (except 'The Way' & Problem have switched), but this time I was comparing them to how strong they are compared to other tracks on the album... for whatever reason. :lol: Well that and I'm slightly unstable. B-) :P

1. Move 2. Break Up Song 3. Shout Out to My Ex 4. Black Magic 5. Wings 6. Woman Like Me 7. Love (Sweet Love)

'no tears' is the clear fave, I'd put 'positions' in 2nd just going by personal taste, however worst I haven't gone for the song I dislike the most (which would be Problem) because at the time it made sense and there is no other song on 'My Everything' that could have taken the lead in my eyes. So I've gone with 'Dangerous Woman' for worst because I despite how luxuriously gorgeous it is, there are other songs on the album which could have been a stronger lead but then a slower jam was always going to be a risk. 1. no tears left to cry 2. positions 3. thank u, next 4. The Way 5. Problem 6. Dangerous Woman

14: LH4Y1ZUUx2g break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored (233 points) Probably Ariana at her "baddest", 'break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored' (often stylized as 'buwyg,ib' because that title is longer than this bracket.) was released as the third and unfortunately final single, alongside parent album 'thank u, next'. Another Max Martin, Ilya concoction, upon release it left fans divided, however it collected acclaim from music critics and went on to hit #1 in no less than 8 countries. It was blocked from the top spot in Ariana's home country by.... herself. B-) In the UK she managed to topple her own super-smash '7 rings', scoring her fifth #1 single in said region. She became the first female artist to replace herself at number one on the chart and only the second female artist to occupy the top two spots on the chart since Madonna in 1985. I really believe the album could have gone on to break many more records had she kept releasing singles from it. 'buwyg,ib' is one of those songs that has been very slow to gain my affection but it's certainly getting there, I didn't give it any points this time, however I can see it sneaking up there. Buzzjack loves it enough to provide it a comfortable top 15 position. Big points came from the likes of Nick (who rates it in his top 5), kath, Jade, Cremey, Lewis, Riser, Lunar and Brer.

I hated this at first but it's growing on me, I feel like this is going be unescapable this Summer.

Certainly sounds like an environment I'd like to be in. B-)

I really like it, It's gone quite high up on my new music playlist.

Listened to all of the new tracks, I enjoy the album... Highlights: 'Constant Repeat' is an early highlight, real single potential. The production reminds me of Sonique. Quite like 'Move Me', the Chorus is the best bit, I just think it's going to take a few more listens to really grab me. 'Lightning' is fantastic and could be my personal favourite song from the album (In contention with 'Good Ones'). That 80s synth, the vocal effects and glitching, with the unexpected instruments. It kind of gives me 'Gone Part 2'. 'Used To Know Me' is the 'OUT OUT Part 2', it's inclusion makes me confused that 'OUT OUT' hasn't been tacked onto the end of the record since they have a similar vibe. Personally I think the Robin S sample has been done to death, but the song is still a bop.

17: SXiSVQZLje8 Side to Side (feat. Nicki Minaj) (204 points) Surprised to see this one so high. :lol: Despite (usually) being one of Buzzjack's least liked singles, the summery reggae-fusion tune 'Side to Side' was chosen as Dangerous Woman's third single and went on to become the most successful, not just from the whole campaign but of all of the singles she had released at that stage of her career in 2016 (that's if we exclude Bang Bang). Although the song sold millions of copies worldwide, it only reached #1 in Venezuela and on Greece's digital chart. We are sure had it been released pre-album it would have been a different story. It did manage a top 5 peak in both the US and UK reaching #4 on both charts, a very impressive feat in the streaming-era for a post-album single release. It's success was aided by a truly ICONic music video, still Ariana's most viewed to date, with just on the verge of 2 billion views at the time of writing. It appears that the track has gained a little popularity of late as Buzzjack members have been rather generous. ....ready for it (+36), Nick (+35), Riser (+30), Liam (+28), I gave it (+26), Lewis (+16), Lunar (+14), kath (+12), Highausakite (+7)

Because they are keeping her record deal for her. So glad to see 'Space' on that list and I'm holding out for them to release 'Through The Night' after 'Run'.

Same, same, same. :lol: It sounds pretty dated now but I honestly think it's one of the catchiest songs ever and it never fails to lift my mood. I very much rate songs going by how much they effect my mood in a positive way, also I'm simply incapable of saying no to a big gay ol' bop. In all honesty there was probably a part of my subconscious that knew both 'Break Free' and 'Greedy' wouldn't have ranked as highly without my top votes, so I pushed (some obviously better overall quality songs) back a little to help my dearly beloved friends. :lol:

I don't believe One Shot was ever considered to be the lead however there were multiple remixes, one of which ended up on Headlines ofcourse, I think it was considered as a single after Ego in Spring 2010, the same time that JLS' was charting.

EDIT: Double post

I'm glad I'm not alone with 'In The Middle', but yeh you're more than welcome to ignore my feelings on 'Stronger', I keep trying and trying but for whatever frustrating reason, it just doesn't click with me and I'm so alone in that universe. :P Maybe I never unheard Heidi's bum note :lol: ...But I also love 'Wear My Kiss' so any opinion I have musically is broadly recognized as invalid. :lol:

The fact that 'Side to Side' was SO successful cursed 'Greedy', the label clearly had Urban airplay in mind after that. I stand by the fact that if it was released as a single, it would have been one of her most successful. I was envisioning a Candyman-esque video with some cute choreo OR something like a 007 movie bank heist vibe as Ari lip syncs in the passenger seat whilst her chauffer races away from the cops in a black Cadillac with dollar bills flying out of the window. The single handed biggest loss as a single of any song ever. Never fails to lift me up, that final chorus with key change is EVERYTHING. I'm surprised it didn't make more peoples list.

20: lf_wVfwpfp8 20. Focus (192 points) Welcome to Buzzjack's Top 20 most loved Ariana tracks. From here we will be revealing the results one by one. Starting off then, some of you expressed shock and disgust in the previous round that 'Dangerous Woman' was out before this one. Does the fact that it was by the skin of our teeth make it better or worse? Previously titled 'Focus On Me', the meant-to-be lead single from third album (then titled) "Moonlight" came in the form of 'Focus', which is essentially a result of the label saying "Hey Ari, Problem was huge! Let's remake it but give you a platinum wig in the music video.... let's hope they don't mishear the Jamie Foxx voiced hook as F**K A ZOMBIE!!". The similarities between the two tracks are undeniable with their brassy Max Martin productions and basic hooks featuring an uncredited male vocalist, the only thing missing is a female rapper for the bridge, where in this instance we got a fun dance break. 'Focus' was excluded from the retitled 'Dangerous Woman' album due to it's mediocre success, Label execs from Republic also put it down to the fact it was "Calculated to a fault, too polished for a time when pop's biggest stars, particularly its women, were letting their flaws bleed into the music.". It did however go on to feature on the 'Japanese Deluxe Edition'. Despite this, the track still managed top 10 in many territories and collected certications including an impressive Double-Platinum in the US. Points came from: Cremey, who isn't the only one that LOVES this with his +37 score as Riser raised that with +39. Lewis matched with another +37. Then we have; Liam (+30), kath (+20), ready for it... (+13), myself (+9) and Nick (+7).

Listening now... Emotions and What About Us could easily be hit singles. Love both!

26 + 25: Z1pmpDRrQhU 26. Santa Tell Me (164 points) 25. ghostin (165 points) The certified Christmas Classic 'Santa Tell Me' is yet to reach the top 10 in the UK charts, but we are confident it will do it at some point, it reached a new peak of #11 during Christmas 2020, falling just short a #13 Christmas just passed. A massive 9 of us gave it points. Riser was it's highest scorer awarding 32 points. ...ready for it, Lunar, Nick, Jade, Highausakite, Brer, Liam and myself all awarded it points. The gorgeous emotional ballad 'ghostin' is a real highlight from the 'thank u, next' album. Ariana is yet to perform the track live due to it's emotionally triggering and highly personal nature. She revealed in an interview that the process of recording the track "sucked" and that she really didn't want it to be on the album, but was encouraged by her manager Scooter Braun. We are thankful it was included as it made our top 25 favourite Ariana songs. Liam gave it top marks, awarding all 40 points, Jade put it in her top 5, scoring 36 points whilst ...ready for it, Cremey, Lewis, Lunar and myself gave it good scores, Brer kept it from drawing with 'Santa Tell Me' by awarding it a single point.

'Sometimes' would be a huge highlight on any of the other albums and I still love it where it is. I'm definately on team "Bloodline should have been a single". That album is so strong she really could have dropped any. But I'm also a 'Side to Side' lover so it's only natural that I love it's successor.

Today I've just randomly been bursting into Jade's operatic background vocal moment, when it mixes into the final chorus it is just such f'ing good ear candy.

32 + 31: leopt__ATR0 32. Moonlight (98 points) 31. Don't Call Me Angel (with Miley Cyrus & Lana Del Rey) (101 points) The song that was originally intended as the title track is the gorgeous romantic ballad 'Moonlight' which opens the 'Dangerous Woman' album and has wedding first dance song splashed all over it. It is our last track below 100 points, just shy of 2 points. Point's came from an impressive number of us: London (30), Cremey (22), myself (21), Lunar (11), Highausakite (8), Jade (6). Our first track to reach the 100 points mark is the Max Martin produced mega-collab 'Don't Call Me Angel'. The song was used as the lead single from the 'Charlie's Angels (2019)' soundtrack. Ariana performs alongside Miley Cyrus, whilst Lana Del Ray takes on the bridge. The track was released during Ariana's 'overexposure' stage of her career where she seemed to be dropping tracks left, right and center. The track came in a #13 on Billboard and only just missed #1 on the UK Charts, coming in at a (still impressive) #2, missing out to Ed Sheeran & Stormy's 'Take Me Back To London'. It didn't stick around for long though, only managing 9 weeks on the chart. It went on to achieve a 'Silver' cert with over 200,000 chart sales. It was also certified 'Gold' in Australia and Canada, though failed to make much of an impact anywhere else. Points came from a slightly smaller number of generous voters: Riser (29), Brer (29), kath (26), Nick F1 (10), Lewis (7).

'In The Middle' gets a lot of flack, but for me it's a classic. I don't care how much Mutya hated 'Red Dress', it gets my diva pulsing. The next 4 are all close in my rankings, 'Wear My Kiss' being the the boppiest so that's why I put it 3rd and although I've always felt 'Stronger' is their most overrated song, I still quite like it, just not one I go back to. I often forget that 'Angels With Dirty Faces' was even a single or how it goes quite frankly. 1. In The Middle 2. Red Dress 3. Wear My Kiss 4. Run For Cover 5. Denial 6. Stronger 7. Angels With Dirty Faces

All of these songs dropping out are absolute faves. I listen to 'everytime' just as much as the singles from 'sweetener', totally single-worthy. 'Break Your Heart Right Back' was my favourite album track from 'My Everything' after it's release and when I finally got around to listening to 'Yours Truly' in full for the first time, I was searching for that real upbeat pop moment to change the tone and it comes at the perfect moment.

Oh I see, sorry I missed that, just weird because on my Spotify it was still saying 99mil :P Look at her raking these up. 'get well soon' and 'Popular Song' look next to surpass it, both at 97mil currently.

That live performance is gorgeous, clearly touched up, but stunning nonetheless.
