Yasssssss! I predicted correctly. A good number 1 as well. Will you be posting closeness between members and closeness to results?

Meh. LOTB is in my top 10 songs of the decade. Kiss It Better is nice but I never understood why it got as much praise as it did. Won't complain much though as it was in my top 5

Someone explain right now what the hell is so good about LOTB. But I'm happy about the winner.

Wake up. Smoke a blunt - listen to this song. Then go back home. Take a shower. Listen to the song again. Take a course in dancing and request 'Love On The Brain'. After that, I hope your taste in music overall has gotten better and you will agee with all of us. :sip2: (No, keep your unpopular opinions, it would be boring if everybody had the same opinion )

I thought I'd be near the bottom because I basically just put the non singles (apart from Desperado) in a random order at the bottom.

This reps up Part I of the Rihanna albums rankdowns. It was a blast to host it and I want to thank y’all for participating.
See you in the next part! (Coming soon probably late-July)
{Hint for which album is coming next.} It's gonna be hard for some of you to rank this.

The three of you that put Needed Me at 15 are dead to me.
Was also really hoping for LOTB to be #1, but Kiss It Better is great too.

Yasssssss! I predicted correctly. A good number 1 as well. Will you be posting closeness between members and closeness to results? Just posted closeness to results But I don't know how to do member closeness :( I think the member closeness is similar to the closeness to results, but it's way more work. I would imagine it to be something like this (I've actually never done it for rankdowns because I haven't finished hosting one yet but based on how people do closeness between participants' rank and the actual results I'm thinking this is how you do it): So if I were to do one between you and me...
| Your rank | My rank | Difference in rank (absolute value) | Pose | 14 | 6 | 8 | Goodnight Gotham | 16 | 10 | 6 | James Joint | 12 | 11 | 1 | Woo | 15 | 13 | 2 | Higher | 9 | 16 | 7 | Yeah, I Said It | 13 | 12 | 1 | Close to You | 11 | 14 | 3 | Sex with Me | 8 | 9 | 1 | Never Ending | 10 | 15 | 5 | Same Ol' Mistakes | 7 | 7 | 0 | Work | 5 | 2 | 3 | Consideration | 4 | 8 | 4 | Needed Me | 2 | 3 | 1 | Desperado | 1 | 5 | 4 | Love on the Brain | 3 | 1 | 2 | Kiss It Better | 6 | 4 | 2 | Sum of differences |
|
| 50 |
Then you add all the differences and take the average (divide by the number of songs). So for this one it should be 50/16=3.125. Then you do that for all the combinations possible between participants [this is a lot of work]. Or at least that's how I understand it Leo ✔ you did member closeness in the Katy Perry rankdown right? Is this how you did it? This is how I'm planning to do it in my rankdowns so I don't want to be wrong... Predictable but great winner :) I'm also pleasantly surprised that "Love on the Brain" managed to beat out "Needed Me"! Thanks for hosting!

Rihanna’s vocal in Love on the Brain totally slays imo, like Grammy worthy :) But Kiss It Better isn’t bad. Makes me wonder what its chart peak will be if it were the lead single.

Yaaaas at her best song getting into the top 3. Desperado honestly deserved so much more.

Well, I didn't do as bad as I thought I could do LOTB was certainly robbed, as it's for sure one of her (if not HER) most dynamic, strong, believable vocal performances ever. Plus the song is the definition of classic, emotional, timeless ballad. Undoubtedly her best ballad. KIB is okaaaay. Not bad, but I never got the hype and wet panties over it here in Pulse. Anyway. Fun to participate in this RD and listen to these songs. This confirmed my desire to not buy the album though I don't think I'll ever have desire to listen to at least 70% of the songs in this RD :) Interested in doing other Rih albums that I like more than this, though! Good job with hosting this RD!!

I guess depending on how you organize your spreadsheet it might be easier but it is still a lot of work. I'm doing closeness rankings as I go on my Dierks Bentley rankdown so it doesn't seem like too much work but I can see how that would be a lot of work if you try to do it all at once. That definitely explains why not every host does this!
