Pulse Rankdown - Taylor Swift

[born]

That's great Can't wait! Tag me for the YE video as well!

[Deleted]

I have no idea what could be 38. Anyone have any ideas?

[awesomecharts]

this was a fun one to do because i loathe many of her songs, but also like many of them too.

Also after watching that playlist, I seen that Taylor Swift NOW commercial at least 20 times lol.



I'd say one of her lesser known country songs for #38.. idk which one.

[chicken077]

So I was organizing the results, and I saw that one member's bottom 3 were identical to another member's top 3! And in that order as well! Like one member's #38 is another's #1! That member's #37 is the other's #2! And #36 is the other's #3! Sadly, the trend stops there... You guys will see what it is

Due to some personal matters, I will likely start the result reveal tomorrow morning

[chicken077]

Since I will be busy tomorrow (I have to go shopping for super winter clothes because I'll be going on a vacation to Alaska next week), result reveal will begin right now! We will begin with the #38 song...

Fun Fact: Nobody ranked this song at #38 yet it finished at the very bottom overall! One participant even loses a #1... no jk

there, I didn't want to lose my post again (see my personal chart thread) so I had to post it before opening a new window to fetch all the tags

[Deleted]

not a great start for me 2015 rankdown went a lot better for me lol

[born]

Not surprised this finished last but where is my #38, it has to go out (Although it might reach the top 25)

[matteeeb]

This is the only song from her that I wasn't familiar with

WOW! Just realized FOUR people lost a #38 there!!!

Next up: first player to lose a top 10... And probably last post for the day, because my mom's yelling at me to go to bed (because we have to go shopping for winter clothes tomorrow in the Silicon Valley so we have to wake up early )

that's better

Tell me, you know I love it when others make predictions (I won't tell you if you got it right though)

YES! This embarrassing moment in Tay's career is out!

[matteeeb]

Only song from her I don't like...

[chicken077]

Two people lose a #38! (lol Jim just as u tell Mark to predict it ), but bigfan becomes the first to lose a top 10... This is probably the only Taylor song I'm familiar with prior to this rankdown that I dislike.

I gotta go sleep now because my parents are yelling at me lol (I have to wake up early tomorrow so understandable) Tune in tomorrow night (Pacific Time, probably same time as today, maybe a bit earlier) for more results!

looks like I was wrong I'm glad I was though lol. I thought Bad Blood would be your last place. I'm glad I was wrong because I had that one ranked pretty high (though it burned out on me over time in 2015...there's so much bias with me towards her much newer songs lol)
I'm sure BB is close to the bottom for you

[Sambalada]

Yay my bottom 2 is out! TWAF should ve been last imo because that song sucks dolphin's balls

Tbh, "Bad Blood" is one of my most played Taylor songs ever and I think it's pretty catchy. I just see it as a horrible song when I actually enjoy it a lot. It would've been Top 10 had it been a better song (quality wise)

[.indulgecountry]

I knew "Fiction" and "Fairytale" were going to be the Bottom 2. Sad that "Picture to Burn" ranked so low though.

Yeah...TWAF still makes me cringe to this day (hence I ranked it dead last as did a few other people )

[bboat11]

"Sweeter Than Fiction" - This is my first listen of this song. I had honestly never even heard of it before. On first impression, it is actually quite catchy! I am really digging these verses! The chorus is kinda forgettable though. The production is lifeless and boring too.

"Today Was A Fairytale" - Never heard of this one either. This one has the opposite problem of the song before it! The verses are SUPER boring, but I actually enjoy the chorus quite a bit. This song unfortunately reminds me of everything I disliked about Taylor when she was a country artist. She just is not a very strong vocalist on songs like this... My first thought when I heard this song was imagining how a vocalist like Martina could make this song exponentially better. Someone with enough maturity in their voice to make those verses more than the boring little-girl-trying-to-sing-low sound that Taylor accomplished, and then make the chorus truly shine with emotion. Taylor holds this song back.

"Picture To Burn" - Yikes... This song has not held up well with time... Watching that music video, the whole thing just felt as outdated as stuff like Avril Lavigne's "Complicated" or Britney Spears' "I'm Not A Girl". Which is not exactly a compliment considering how much newer this song is... Taylor sounds like such a juvenile in all aspects of her vocal performance. I honestly don't mind this song's melody, but those lyrics are pretty awful, and the immature vocal is like listening to a car fire. I never actually disliked this song like some of her other country songs, but has always been my go-to example of her taking childish subjects to the extreme.

Unlike in the 2015 Hot 100 year-end countdown, I think my #1 is gonna be out pretty early lol I think my #3 has a decent shot at winning though (the only one of the top 5; I don't think my 2 or 4 will win and my 5 will DEFINITELY not win haha)

[awesomecharts]

I probably won't be losing my #38 anytime soon lol

[bigfan101]

Not surprised! Picture to Burn is definitely a guilty pleasure.

And the video is hilarious.

[chicken077]

Welcome back! I don't know how much time I have tonight, but I'll try to get through as many songs as possible! (I may have to leave for around 30 ish minutes in a little while, but I should be returning if I don't get enough through )

Next up: A song that beat out Picture To Burn by 1 point. Nobody loses a top 10 but two players lose a top 15.
