Never understood the love for WIR. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, it's just kind of there. My least favorite of the originals on the album.

Okay, the two errors in the 'Don't Waste Your Time' rankings should be the only ones. I checked over everything and couldn't find any more. Please let me know if anything else slips past me. “In 2015, Kelly finally kicked off a new album era with the January release of ‘Heartbeat Song’. The song was decently-well received on radio, but stopped just short of the top 20 on the Hot 100. Its strongest market was the UK, where it became a top 10 hit – maintaining her record of charting at least one single from every main album in that region. In the US, this record was nearly broken until the 2016 release of title track ‘Piece By Piece’ kept it intact. In this rankdown, ‘Heartbeat Song’ goes into early cardiac arrest; again falling short of the top 20.”AVG RANKING: 21.47619 STANDARD DEVIATION: 6.822624bboat11 #7 austin #9 .indulgecountry #11 vann #13 Unhinged #14 Juanca #15 nick64 #15 Peterawr #16 rgreen0625 #16 toomuchboy #16 Choco #17 🅳🅸🆂🅲🅾 #17 Raccoon #17 Kanenrá:ke #18 musicfan134 #18 @mirza #19 maine #19 kmbgs #19 ampersand #20 franklin #20 Az Paynter #20 edph1 #21 awesomecharts #21 zaclord 🌈 #21 d3vin44 #22 trustypepper #23 Leo ✔ #24 someguy #24 Kurt #25 born #26 @antigonerising #26 karatekid #27 Sambalada #27 aerodynamite #28 castleoblivion26 #28 Au$tin #29 Daryl the Beryl #29 †ealsünset #30 when the pawn... #30 frenchfry #35 keeptheflowers #35 @crapkuki23 #35 {Remaining Songs}A Moment Like This Miss Independent Breakaway Since U Been Gone Behind These Hazel Eyes Because Of You Walk Away Never Again Sober My Life Would Suck Without You Already Gone Cry Don’t You Wanna Stay (with Jason Aldean) Mr. Know It All Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) Dark Side Catch My Breath People Like Us Underneath The Tree Piece By Piece It’s Quiet Uptown

Some questions before we resume for the top 20.
1) Is there anything you are surprised is out already, and if so - why?
2) Is there anything you are surprised is still there, and if so - why?
3) What do you expect is the most likely to reach the top 10?
4) What do you expect to be out within the next few reveals?

1. I Do Not Hook Up - Thought that it was liked. 2. Its Quiet Uptown - I thought people didnt enjoy it and since it flopped. 3. The Breakaway era singles. 4. Its Quiet Uptown, Underneath The Tree, and maybe Cry.

I just can't @ two amazing songs (All I Ever Wanted, I Do Not Hook Up) being out before my #35. But, y'know, of course that song is going to be high because it was a huge hit and those always do well in these games regardless of whether or not they're actually good.

IDNHU along with MLWSWY both seem so damn plastic to me (as does a good chunk of the AIEW wanted simply because, well, it is), so I'm personally glad to see IDNHU out already. PLU kind of falls into that same boat, but that one is mostly just because it didn't age well with me.
What am I surprised to see out already? Honestly, nothing. Maaaybe Invincible. I did expect that to at least reach the top 20, but everything else seem like less notable additions to her discography. Really, a lot of her best songs weren't singles.
What am I surprised to see in the top 20? Underneath the Tree. I really expected both Christmas songs to fall quickly because of what they are. It's Quiet Uptown as well.
What will fall out soon? My guess is those two plus Never Again and Cry.
Top ten? All Breakaway singles minus Walk Away, AG, Sober, MLWSWY, Dark Side, Stronger, and CMB.
P/ds
20-17: Underneath the Tree, It's Quiet Uptown, Never Again, Cry 16-11: A Moment Like This, Don't You Wanna Stay, Walk Away, Mr. Know It All, Miss Independent, Piece by Piece 10-8: Sober, My Life Would Suck Without You, Dark Side 7-4: Breakaway, Catch My Breath, Already Gone, What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger) 3-2: Because of You, Since U Been Gone 1: Behind These Hazel Eyes

I know what your 35 is and it would have been my 1 if I participated. It will prob have the highest SD in this game.

I think the top ten will probably consist of (not necessarily in this order) Breakaway, Since U Been Gone, Behind These Hazel Eyes, Because of You, Sober, MLWSWY, Already Gone, Piece by Piece, and Stronger. Not sure what the 10th song could be.

1) Is there anything you are surprised is out already, and if so - why? Heartbeat Song and People like Us because I thought they were both loved.
2) Is there anything you are surprised is still there, and if so - why? It's Quiet Uptown. Like what the hell???
3) What do you expect is the most likely to reach the top 10? All Breakaway songs, NA, AG, SWDKY, PBP
4) What do you expect to be out within the next few reveals? It's Quiet Uptown, Cry, A Moment like This

This rankdown was pretty hard to make but I thought "People like Us" or "Heartbeat" would make top20.

Underneath The Tree has probably become my 2nd favorite Christmas song of all time, just behind AIWFCIY by MC

4) What do you expect to be out within the next few reveals? It's Quiet Uptown, Walk Away, SoberSober is a hardcore fan favorite tho! Even among those who didn't like MD in general, Sober is damn near universal. I know there are more casual (for lack of a better word) fans participating in this, but I'd actually be really surprised if it did not make top 10. IQU was just a brief moment, but I recall all the fans loving her vocals on it; I myself hadn't forgotten it at all and ranked it really high. It isn't making the top 10 but I would be surprised if it did not make the top half. There are at least a few other songs that deserve to be (and probably/hopefully will be) gone before it. ----- 1) Is there anything you are surprised is out already, and if so - why? Eh, not really? I suppose I thought WIR might go further, but Christmas songs are hard to gauge. Nothing else is at all out of place in this bottom 15. 2) Is there anything you are surprised is still there, and if so - why? Well since I'm not too surprised at anything that's already left, there isn't much room to be surprised at what remains, is there But I am a smidge surprised that DYWS is still around. 3) What do you expect is the most likely to reach the top 10? - MI - all the Breakaway singles (except WA) - Sober - MLWSWY - Stronger - PBP - MKIA might surprise, it's actually pretty well-liked so I could see it squeezing out a more 'obvious' guess like AG or UTT Basically this top 10 is about to look like a mini-GH with that one fan favorite thrown in for fun 4) What do you expect to be out within the next few reveals? - WA - DYWS - NA, not because it's strongly disliked but because it's not strongly favored either. We're close to the middle now and that's exactly where I expect it to fall. - possibly Dark Side (I'm already prepared to be as salty as Az in a mafia game at how dirty DS is going to be done) or Cry (I think I was one of the few fans who was really enamored with this song; I remember during the era a lot of people did not like Howard Benson's 'these go to 11' production here) AMLT should go out soon, but I can see it making top 15 for sentimental reasons.

Wow thank you for this. I had no idea because it never came up on Pulse or anywhere and the only person I talk about Kelly's music (not just the huge hits) is my best friend who's also a Kelly stan. I didn't know anything about "Sober" being a fan favorite!

What's with all the hate for "It's Quiet Uptown" that was in my top 3. First SHH, now IQU?
Not particularly surprised to see anything go out at this point. Therefore not surprised to know what's still in.
Based off of peoples comments, I think IQU will be eliminated soonish, as well as Cry, UTT and I'm kinda thinking Catch My Breath might be out sooner rather than later.

Next to go: AMLT, NA, WA, Cry, DS (probably IQU going by all the other responses...) Top 10: I'm guessing it'll be Sober, the other four BA singles, MLWSWY, AG, Stronger, UTT, and PbP.

I think I ranked two songs backwards, but that is my bad lol.
1) Is there anything you are surprised is out already, and if so - why?
not really, I think that I'm sad that Low and People Like Us are out but not surprised by it at all. Always got the feeling those songs were not popular.
2) Is there anything you are surprised is still there, and if so - why?
Underneath the Tree, just surprised a christmas song is top 20. I enjoy christmas music but never got into hers so didn't think either song would last long. also Dark Side, because I've always had the impression that most people felt it was a bad single choice (which I agree, many great songs never became singles when this one did).
3) What do you expect is the most likely to reach the top 10?
Because of You, Behind These Hazel Eyes, Since U Been Gone, Already Gone and Stronger will all be top 10, I would be truly shocked if any of them miss top 10
4) What do you expect to be out within the next few reveals?
Don't You Wanna Stay, It's Quiet Uptown, Dark Side and Underneath the Tree are not lasting much longer I think

I didn't know anything about "Sober" being a fan favorite! Yeah, when she performed at the Troubadour at the beginning of the Stronger era, she had this thing where the attendees could pick one of her encore songs. She gave an option from all four of her then-released albums (Miss Independent, Beautiful Disaster, Sober, and If I Can't Have You) and the crowd picked Sober. It was the wrong single choice for when it was released (middle of summer) but that song is such a treasure Maybe is also really well-liked in my observation - both songs are Kelly's lyricism and melodic ear at their best IMO. Unfortunately the album as a whole gets very mixed opinions even now due to the production and the abrupt switch from slick-pop princess to middle fingers up to the system. Someone not named me should host an album-tracks rankdown for Kelly after this

I'm so in for an Album Tracks rankdown. I remember "My December" receiving mixed reviews etc and it is kinda messy indeed but I won't lie I love some of its songs.

Good, her best stuff really is her album tracks. I'm down for that rankdown. It would probably have to be fan favorites, though our it would be crazy long.

Good, her best stuff really is her album tracks. I'm down for that rankdown. It would probably have to be fan favorites, though our it would be crazy long. Maybe not that long? I just did a count and excluding the Xmas album and duplicate versions of songs, came out to ~63 songs. So not quite as long as the year-end 100 rankdowns...it's really only a beast to tackle for those who are unfamiliar with her deeper cuts and aren't in a mood to try to take in and rank so many 'new' songs at once. For comparison, I'm toying with making my eventual Mariah rankdown album tracks only, and if I exclude anything that was released in any country I'm left with 100 songs. I haven't decided how I want to whittle that down yet.

I'm okay with an album tracks rankdown being more 'niche' as a consequence of including everything. Given Kelly is pretty popular on Pulse you should be still be able to find a decent amount of posters who know her albums without having to look them up.
