Hamed's 50 Personal Faves of 2017 Rankdown (Due: January 15)

[Deleted]

Hi everyone, this is my first personal rankdowns and overall one of my first rankdowns as a whole, here's to hoping I don't mess up 
The list of songs on this rankdown will be some of my favorites of 2017, though it should be noted
1. I'm gonna mostly make the list up of songs that will not show up on year end charts, some minor exceptions may exist
2. Some songs on here are form before 2017, they are included either because they were released as a singles late in 2016 or are from albums from 2016 that I still listened to often in 2017
3. Mostly will try not to use songs that show up in a bunch of other rankdowns

With that said on a daily basis I will reveal hints to 2-3 of the 50 songs on a daily basis, then reveal the song the next day. 
Once all songs are revealed is when the Due Date will be announced for submissions, I will also have a Spotify playlist up by then to help you with you rankings amongst a few other tools you can use to help with your submission
My 50 songs on here are of various genres: Pop, R&B, Hip-Hop, EDM/Dance, Country, Rock, etc
So I hope you find something that caters to your interest on here 
With that said, I hope you enjoy the song and eventually the rankdown, and most importantly your day

Nope 
Wildest Dreams is too old to be an entry on here and was a major hit, I'm mostly using songs that weren't so major
Right artist though

Hint #1: The opening ceremony tradition to light the torch to begin the Olympic games, this song is about being ready to start, as T Swift herself says in the bridge "let the games begin"
Hint #2: A gif from Pokemon in which Ho-Oh is using the move "Swift", this hints is supposed to give away that this will be a T Swift song
Hint #3: A gif of a witch being burned at the stake, an idea that is prevalent in the song's parent album "reputation", in which the music video for RFI has a scene where "They're burning all the witches" is written in white towards the climax of the music video and that line is also used in another song from the album, "I Did Something Bad"




Song #9: Astrid S - "Such A Boy"

Hint #1: A picture of an astronaut, the song's opening lines are "Say you need more space, What are you, an astronaut?"
Hint #2: Normi stans hard for Astrid S, to where his custom title is now "Astrid S Stan"
