#6: "Clean"
Points: 613 (63 points behind #5, 2 points ahead of "All You Had To Do Was Stay") Average: 8.712 Standard Deviation: 4.516 (4th highest SD) Hidden Message: She lost him but she found herself and somehow that was everything
The last album track in this rankdown, "Clean" is eliminated here just before the top 5. It became the highest-ranked album track in this rankdown by a mere 2 points, as "All You Had To Do Was Stay" and "I Know Places" were only 2 points behind this song. I've seen a lot of people raving about this track as Taylor's best closer to an album (I think "Begin Again" is her best but "Clean" is up there imo) and deservingly so. I personally really like album closers that are more hopeful or have come to some sort of a resolution, so "Clean" is definitely among my favorites here (I only ranked it at #7 but I have like 10 favorites on this album). #6 through #9 was always pretty close ("Shake It Off" dropped off pretty late into the submission process), so this song also kept bouncing back and forth during the submission process.

I'm overjoyed at Clean being the highest non-single in the RD. Can we please continue the trend of letting non-singles win Taylor's album rankdowns?Also lol at me being the only #17 for IKP. It's decent I guess, but something about the melody in the chorus has always annoyed me, and it doesn't really do anything to stand out from the rest of the songs here. I love how my gimmick lately is basically the ruiner of games lol Meanwhile I rank it at #17 (at least 8 places behind #6 and 6 places behind AYHTDWS) and get no backlash (yet) lmao Karma is real :kii:

So which one of the flop singles will be out first? My guess is “New Romantics”.

Clean is soooo good. The "All Too Well" of 1989, in terms of how beautiful it is. Only ranking it #3 is kinda sad, but then again the literal two best songs in her discography (at least imo) are ahead of it, so I can't feel too bad about it.
Anyway, the expected top 5 is still in, and even if it's the basic, same old choices, they're all amazing songs so absolutely no complaints from my side.

That's it for today's reveals, thanks for following along!
Here's the top 5: Blank Space Style Out of the Woods Wildest Dreams New Romantics
Tracks 2-4 are my favorite part of 1989, and all of the songs in there are still in, so that's great! Any predictions on the top 5?

"Clean" is beautiful; should have been in the top 5 instead of any of the other songs not named "Style" or "Wildest Dreams"... sigh

Comparing All Too Well and Clean is ridiculous I'm fully on board with ATW, it has the right amount of punch to it paired with great instruments and a haunting atmosphere Clean is simply boring, yes it's slightly beautiful but way too slow for me to enjoy

Clean is such a beautiful song and deserved top-5 status! The lyrics are everything! Also pleasantly surprised to see NR come this far!

Sure get rid of my #1 and #3, and get better taste all of you :sip2:
Oh well, at least IWYW missed the Top 10, and hopefully WD or BS can pull out the win.

2, 3, 10, 15, 16. Obviously rooting for my 2 or 3, but wouldn't be upset with my 10 winning, either. The other two are just not that good, IMO.

I'm glad AYHTDWS did relatively well; it was a great discovery. I didn't submit a list, but this rankdown inspired me to finally listen to 1989 for the first time!
