Noooo "Desire"!! Although both of the remaining songs deserve to win. 2 vs. 5 for me.

This is easily my favorite Dua Lipa song. I have never totally gotten the hype of her (sorry, lol), but this song is so good. She's had some really good ones, but overall, I've always found her to be a tad bit overrated. Whatever, this still bops.

"Higher" is one of Carly's songs off of the B-Side album that I thought was better than a lot of songs on E•MO•TION. This song is so good. Awesome production from Greg here. This rankdown made me learn that Carly actually didn't even have a hand in writing this one.

"Hotter Than Hell" is great, and it used to be my favorite Dua Lipa song until recently...but it's hard to compete with Carly, man, especially Emotion-era. Honestly, "Higher" would have been in the top half (or better) of Emotion, had it made the actual album. It's so good. maine, as always, great rankdown hosted, and looking forward to the next one.

Wonderful top 3!!!
That top 2 isn't really a surprise but very pleasantly surprised to have Desire at #3! Just a whole ass entire bop.
Thanks James!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who participated! This was a rankdown that I always wanted to do. Even though you mostly see me in the rock forums, pop has always been a genre I've loved. I also wanted to get some of the 'pop posters' to participate in something of mine, and make a rankdown that was a little more widely appealing to everyone. It's always a blast to throw my favorite songs at you guys. Speaking of, I'll be throwing more of my favorite songs at you very soon. Like real soon.

Yeah, Wanna Be is one of my favourite songs of the decade, and probably of all time as well. She took what could've just been a damn good basic pop song and, as James put it, made it "fucking gut-wrenching". I'm so happy it almost made the top 5 after its under-performance in the Madness mini-tournament on Discord a while ago, and even happier to know almost everyone probably liked it, with the best lowest rank of the game (aside from Carly, but I also love Higher so I'm not remotely mad it won).
