Written by Whiskey Waters, Larzz Principato, Skyler Stonestreet, MNEK and Dua Lipa Produced by Stephen Kozmeniuk • Co-produced by Larzz Principato Mastered by John Davis Recorded at Sarm Music Village, London and Paramount Studios, Los Angeles Published by Whiskeynater (ASCAP), Whiskey Water (BMI), Stonestreet Works, Lawrence Principato Pub Desigee, Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp., WB Music Corp, OBO Warner, Warner/Chappell Music Publishing LTD.

Points: 176 Average: 13.62 Standard Deviation: 5.78 (Third highest)crazyb: #3 DistrictTwelve: #4 Glove Slap: #6 born: #7 Sambalada: #7 sergejdordij: #10 divasummer: #11 Leo ✔: #11 YotamTS: #12 @mirza: #13 Normi: #14 Kurt: #16 Leaf: #17 .indulgecountry: #18 Juan Carlos: #19 @antigonerising: #19 Billie: #19 Az Paynter: #19 Choco: #20 aerodynamite: #20 Ty: #21 Background:"IDGAF", which stands for "I Don't Give A F*ck", is the track #5 of Dua Lipa's self-titled album and it was one of the three tracks which she recorded after the album was pushed back from February to June. Also, it was performed for the first time live at Governors Ball this year. Personal opinion:This is good, but I was expecting it to be better? I'm not going to deny that it's catchy and it's an in-your-face song for me, but when I found out that MNEK was behind this, my expectations were higher and it didn't fulfill them when it came out. Favourite lyric: "You say you're sorry, but it's too late now / So save it, get gone, shut up."

For #16, anyone loses one of their Top 5 and either a #21, but four people lose one of their Top 10 and four their #20.

Background:"Dreams" is the track #13 of Dua Lipa's self-titled album and it's one of the five songs included in the deluxe version of it. Also, it's one of the first songs that she performed live. Personal opinion:This is good too, but there's something that seems unfinished? I really don't know the reason about this though. The song follows the tropical trend and the production is catchy too, but I think that the lyrics are too repetitive as well. Also, the post-chorus doesn't work for me. Favourite lyric: "Last night, my fantasies become oh-so true / You said you wanted me as much as I want you."

For #15, a person loses their #1 and another their #21. Also, it has two more points than #16 and #17.

I must have not been paying attention when I submitted this. Not that it makes much difference with them both being at the bottom of my list, but Dreams is actually my least favorite (the only Dua song that I flat out don't like, really), and No Goodbyes should have been my #20 (it's ok, but it's not particularly memoralbe to me).

Background:"New Love" is the track #15 of Dua Lipa's self-titled album and it's one of the five songs included in the deluxe version of it. Also, it's her debut release. The music video of the song, which was directed by Nicole Nodland and came out on August 21, 2015, was premiered by The FADER. There are two versions of the song: The WW release under exclusive license to Warner Music UK Limited, which length is 4:32 min. and the one release under exclusive license to Vertigo/Capitol, her German speaking countries label, which length is 3:59 min. and it's the same as the music video. The latter was included in the digital EP release of "Be the One" in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Personal opinion:I like this track and I was expecting that it was going to do better. Although I wasn't aware of Dua when "New Love" dropped two years ago (it doesn't feel too much time, right?), it makes me feel that her style wasn't too mainstream at that time and she was going with the Indie/Alternative-ish route. She was even compared with Lana Del Rey. Favourite lyric:"I don't wanna waste no time all alone / Want somewhere to go, something to call my own."

"IDGAF" is my second favorite song this week after "Look What You Made Me Do". It's awesome and it deserved better :(

That's all for tonight.
Tomorrow, we will see the next four songs, so we could begin with the Top 10. Another person loses their #1, plus some Top 5 and #21 will be revealed too.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ALL YOU HOES! *throws tomatoes at the crowd*
There is a cruel, cruel irony in losing my least favorite and most favorite Dua songs back to back.
NGL though, I ranked New Love #1 solely off the Paraone remix which is still my obsession. Pretty sure this isn't what it was going for but the production bears some surprising traces of mid-'80s r&b influence. Of course I'm like a moth to a flame for anything that has that throwback kind of vibe; she could easily have sent this version to UAC and become nu Teena Marie lol.

Well my top 9 is still intact so I can't be doing too badly for only just being introduced to Dua's material at large.

I do like New Love but can acknowledge it's kinda clunky.

I was quietly catching up with this thread and about to post a variation of "so far so good!!" but New Love at #15 is a tragedy. It's hardly her best but it's top 10 material.
Well, at least Last Dance still stands.

I like all 3 songs, but I'm shocked that IDGAF & New Love are ranked so low, was expecting them to rank high.

Yeah! Sorry about that guys! Life has got a little bit unexpected and complicated in the last few weeks, nearly a month actually, that I didn't have time to do this as I was initially planning. I know, it sucks, and I'm so disappointed with myself because I feel that I'm letting you down for this. I will try to resume it as soon as possible though.

Don't worry Juan Carlos ! I'll wait for it and don't be disappointed with yourself! Disappointments and Unexpectations happen almost all the time, let's hope for the best, but I know that you will be alright. I hope I cheered you up a bit, if not, I'm very sorry.

I always wanted to use the picture above, despite I am technically shading myself right now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Either way, if it's considered that my original rollout didn't work as I planned and you have been waiting for this for so long, I was thinking that it's better to unveil everything, so I expect to do this tomorrow and there will be a few surprises as well. Oh! As a side note, I mentioned that there were going to be more ties throughout the revealing, but looks like I messed up with the tally and there was only one, which was already mentioned. Oops! However, it didn't modify the placements of the songs, so it wouldn't have hurted anything if I have found out later.
