I actually like the shorter songs/interludes in this album a lot. I'm not surprised they're out early though.

Woo and Pose are the worst songs on the album. I really wanted to like Woo but couldn't get into it. As for the interludes, they're fine but they're also no "Sober II (Melodrama)".
Of the three 2015 singles, none of them were good on first listen, but "American Oxygen" is the only one that never grew on me.

Pose is a bop and you all did her dirty. Goodnight Gotham would've been great if it was a real song and James Joint too if it was longer. Woo's a good song butthe rest of ANTI is amazing. Rihanna should've ket American Oxygen tbh. BBHMM and Home were her only good songs out of 2015, excluding James Joint.

I decide to do this RD because although I'm a Rihanna fan, this album didn't spike my interest as I'm more a fan of dance and pop Rihanna. I didn't hate the album when I heard it in Tidal upon release, but felt I only cared for one or two songs It was good to hear it again... and double check that I still didn't like several tracks anyway but also coming in with more open mind to see what could impress me the most. Woo won in terms of making the most improved impression on me. At first listen I thought it'd be in my bottom half, but it kept growing on me in terms of the structure and dynamics of the song. It ended up at a surprising #3, as I felt it was a much richer song than its cousin Needed Me...

Forgot about the 2015 singles. 45Seconds would be my #1 on this whole rank down, the other two would be near the bottom.

16. Pose Definitely like bossy Rihanna. Damn she can pull these tunes so well! 15. Goodnight Gotham Lol at it not being 16th because it is someone's 1st . That person should delete his account tbh. It is just a boring sampling of Florence Welch...(and I don't like the original song) 14. James Joint It shouldn't be so low due to it being an interlude :'( . It functions as one well if you notice the whole album is a long story. Bonus : American Oxygen The chorus still sounds too weird for me. Okay attempt I guess. 13. Woo I don't like Travis Scott's style of music and this one is no exception. The chorus is so noisy.

12. Higher
Points: 172
Average: 10.63
SD: 2.762 (2nd lowest)
Median: 11
‘Higher’ is track #12 on ‘ANTI’. It was teased back in 2014. As suggested by the title, this is another song about weed. I enjoyed this interlude and think it was the best on here.

11. Yeah, I Said It
Points: 180
Average: 10.333
SD: 3.187
Median: 11
‘Yeah, I Said It’ is track #8 on ‘ANTI’ and yet another interlude. I like it but thought it was one of the weaker interludes.

So now we’re in the Top 10 (which features no interludes)! .indulgecountry is the only one to still have his whole Top 10 intact!
And the first song to leave us is nobody’s #1 nor #16.

10. Close To You Points: 194 Average: 9.815 SD: 3.803
Median: 10
‘Close To You’ is track #13 on ‘ANTI’ and serves as the album closer for the standard version. Many people compared it to 2012’s ‘Stay’. I personally think this is one of Rihanna’s weaker ballads.

9. Sex With Me
Points: 197
Average: 9.704
SD: 3.517
Median: 10 ‘Sex With Me’ is track #16 on ‘ANTI’ so only available on the deluxe version. The track spent 15 weeks within the lower range of the Hot 100 despite not being a single resolving in remixes being released. Luckily, this gave ‘ANTI’ its 5th Dance Club Songs #1! This track is a jam!

BONUS: Bitch Better Have My Money‘Bitch Better Have My Money’ was the second single released in 2015. It received a very controversial music video featuring nudity, blood and violence. The song became iconic showing us not to fuck with Rihanna It was another #1 on the Dance Club Songs chart and reached the Top 50 on the YE list despite peaking at #15 on the Hot 100.

1) Which song are you happy missed the Top 10? LOL, all of the ones that I didn't rank top ten.
2) Which song are you sad missed the Top 10? A little sad "Higher" didn't make it, but kind of baffled that "Yeah, I Said It" didn't.
3) Which song are you surprised is still in? Nothing really, but I'm surprised "Same Ol' Mistakes" beat out "Sex with Me."
4) Which songs will make up the Top 5? The singles + "Desperado"
5) #8 has the highest SD. What will it be? Well, now I have a bad feeling that that is "Work," but I could see "Consideration" or "Never Ending" having the highest SD as well.
