So there were two albums released this year that i only ended up listening to after i opened this rd, so i’ll be putting those as extras here. The second extra will be put up tomorrow when i close submissions for this. we’re starting with a song that’ll likely raise some eyebrows lol. so many people around me irl were ajr stans and i listened to all of ajr’s albums just to see if i was missing something...spoilers: for the most part, i wasn’t. Then I heard the maybe man, and to my complete shock, I wound up liking it lol. I’m not gonna say that I’m an ajr fan now or that I like all of their songs now or something, because I don’t. But I think this album made me see some talent I had otherwise not seen. This was easily my favorite song on that album, and my favorite song in their entire discography. A song they wrote about their dad battling terminal illness and it’s genuinely heartbreaking, especially considering he apparently passed away just hours after this song was released. Lines like “My dad can't get out of bed There's something in his lungs I think that's what the doctor said I gotta leave for Paris now My band goes on at ten And my dad can't get out of bed” or “What if we could break you out tonight? This kind of thing happens to other dads It don't happen to mine I'll distract the doctors We could sneak out with your meds You could come along And be a roadie for the band Come on, dad, get out of bed” just...I could practically feel jack met’s sadness and desperation here. And as most of you probably know, my grandma passed away this summer, and I'd be lying if I said that some of these lyrics didn’t reflect how I felt about her in her final moments. Yes, this may be just another song about loss that i have a big soft spot for because of my fear of losing my loved ones, but this felt really sincere coming from ajr and it’s one of the very few, if there are any, instances where i found their childlike lyrical tendencies only added to the song instead of detracting from it. I do truly wish it didn’t take such a tragic event for ajr to make my favorite song from them to date, but i still love it idc what anyone says about me loving an ajr song.
EXTRA: AJR - God Is Really Real
ALBUM: AJR - The Maybe Man

I haven't listened to the whole album, but I completely agree with you that "God Is Really Real" is a highlight of their discography. The flow of the lyrics is pretty rough, but I feel it actually ends up benefitting the song in the end, because you can tell how heartbroken and hopeless they were feeling when they recorded this. It made me kinda emotional on first listen, which was a surprise considering it's AJR.

Sent. Nice picks. I found two-thirds of these to be at least decent. Definitely a much better showing overall than the year-end, lol. I mainly did this rankdown to help the song I ranked at #1, though.

so...just about 3 hours left, i think now would be a good time for a pre-reveal survey!! 1. What song(s) do you think will be #1/top 5? 2. What song(s) do you think will be #27/bottom 5? 3. What songs had the highest SDs? 4. Lowest SDs? 5. Now for each matchup below, guess which song will be higher! 5a. Taylor songs: Enchanted (Taylor's Version) vs Out Of The Woods (Taylor's Version) 5b. Which Jersey Club song went the hardest? WHERE SHE GOES vs. Just Wanna Rock 5c. Battle of the country but not americana songs: Last Drive Down Main vs. Fast Car 5d. Now the Americana songs! El Dorado vs. Strawberry Woman 5e. How about the Hip Hop/R&B? 2018 vs. Back To The Moon vs. Agora Hills vs. Virginia Beach vs. All My Life vs. Self Love vs. Looove vs. Cars Bring Me Out 5f. Soundtrack songs? Speed Drive vs. Self Love 5g. Which Spanish-language song pulled through? WHERE SHE GOES vs. Cairo 5h. And we can't forget the pop (non-soundtrack and non-Taylor that is)! Psychedelic Switch vs. Midnight Dreams vs. Happy vs. River vs. Chemical vs. bad idea right? vs. Read Your Mind vs. River vs. Dancing's Done

i’ve discovered maybe i’m more of a tatertott(?) than i realized lol. I’ve liked the vast majority of songs i’ve heard from her (that said, working and think later [song] both suck imo lol). And yeah, i liked think later, this song, as basic of a choice as it may be, is my favorite song from the album, it really grew on me thanks to that really sticky hook. Tate might not be the technically strongest singer but i think she works really well against the production. Even if i think “greedy” has the better production, i can’t deny that “exes” has had far more replay value for me, in a just world we’ll be ranking this in next year’s hot 100 rd.
EXTRA: Tate McRae- exes
ALBUM: Tate McRae - THINK LATER

ig i shouldn't be too surprised by this, i may have chosen the worst time to have a wallen song in a rd lol but fuck it, "last drive down main" has grown to be my favorite morgan wallen song, thanks to that explosive as hell percussion helping this song become such a blast to listen to for me. also hot take, one thing at a time is a mid album, but it could've honestly been good with the simplest fix possible - just remove half the tracklist! like, the album is pretty much split into the best songs he ever made and the worst songs he ever made, just take out the latter and the album could've been legitimately good!

This was not that bad of a song from Morgan Wallen. If it made the year end list, it probably would have been one of my highest ranking Morgan Wallen songs, maybe even my 2nd highest. One Thing At A Time would still be my highest.

This was pretty upbeat for a Wallen song to where it was listenable. Then it turned into more of that “you can’t resist me” stuff, and it brought it down for me a ton.

i didn't like business is business at all, young thug is a rapper i don't really like much as is because to me he just sounds perpetually constipated lol but i listened to this as part of my goal to listen to every album that had an album bomb on the hot 100 in 2023, and this was honestly the only song i liked on this album lol, thanks to sharper than average flows from young thug and an actually pretty solid contribution from future, but yeah, even despite me liking every song on this list, this was a veryy easy last place for me lol Ranks:jtd Thee Stallion 3 Private Dancer 6 Mayman 10 wrip 11 PREDS PRIDE 15 M5AGTS 15 sickofscrubs 15 312999 16 Lukas 18 singingrulebritannia 19 Leo ✔ 20 willapted33 20 CF15 21 BlurryKyle 22 joshtheking 22 .indulgecountry 23 SabrinaFan 23 Gonza'90 24 reputainbow 24 Willow Rinadoobee Breakfast 25 TheOutcast 25 samo🦕 25 jasper0102 25 rnb 26 Anthony !!!!!! 27 taylor 27 Fire 27{for search/if the graphic isn't showing up}26.
