Taylor Swift Album RD Series #3: Speak Now (Winner Revealed)

[fearlessarrow]

[/uh/]The Taylor Swift Album Rankdown Series: Pulse Edition[//uh/]

Welcome back to the Taylor Swift album rankdown series! After /æ/ hiatus since the end of the [/ee/]Fearless[//ee/] rankdown to host the 2017 non-US hits rankdown, /ee/ am back to host the third installment in the series which some of you may have been waiting for! Since we have ranked her first two albums, we are going to continue chronologically and rank...

[/uh/][/ee/]Speak Now[//ee/][//uh/]

[/uh/]Tracklist (including deluxe tracks):[//uh/]
1. Mine
2. Sparks Fly
3. Back to December
4. Speak Now
5. Dear John
6. Mean
7. The Story of Us
8. Never Grow Up
9. Enchanted
10. Better Than Revenge
11. Innocent
12. Haunted
13. Last Kiss
14. Long Live
15. Ours
16. If This Was /æ/ Movie
17. Superman












[/ee/]Speak Now[//ee/] was Taylor's first album to open with /æ/ million copies sold in its debut week (and she has repeated the feat three more times with her subsequent albums). This album showcased her songwriting, as the whole album was solely written by her. The third single, "Mean", won her two Grammys for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. While the album lacked the huge smashes that accompanied [/ee/]Fearless[//ee/], the album still sold more than 4 million copies and topped the Billboard 200 for six non-consecutive weeks.

Here are the links to past rankdowns if you're interested:

For now, the due date is [/uh/]March 30th[//uh/], so you have /æ/ month to submit! /ee/ also want to say that /ee/ am willing to take edits until the deadline, so if you want to make edits at any point, please feel free to let me know!

If you are being tagged, it is because you have participated in either one of the Taylor Swift album rankdowns (/ee/ didn't tag some people because /ee/ know they aren't interested in this one) or have expressed interest (/ee/'m also tagging some new people too though). If you want to be added or taken off the tag list, please let me know as always!

/ee/ still cannot believe that song won /æ/ single award. /ee/ hated it before that award show but that definitely did not help matters at all.

[Au$tin]

This album is incredible. Will definitely do this! Sparks Fly, Back to December, Speak Now, Mean, Enchanted, Better Than Revenge, Haunted, Long Live

[Mylo13 💜]

In in in in.

Literally one song out of the regular version of this album /ee/ consider mediocre, and every other song ranges from decent to incredible. Haven't heard the two deluxe songs though.

[born]

/ee/'m dead. /ee/ know my Top 3 and last place but the rest of the rankings CHANGE everyday.

Omg, /æ/ multiplatinum, Grammy nominated self-written album full of bops at 20! Her mind and power people!!!

[austin]

My favorite album of all time by any artist. No songs /ee/ love and only one /ee/ don't think is strong. Though "Last Kiss" will do way better than it should (it's not the one /ee/ dislike.)

/ee/ submitted my list like /æ/ month ago because /ee/ was too hype.

[Bwol]

Best album of all time (Thiller is close guys okkkkk)

Haunted better get some love!!!

[zaclord 🌈]

Can /ee/ put 8 songs at #17? There are some really really bad songs on this list. But also some of Taylor's best so its an alright album /ee/ guess. Probably her second best after Fearless.

[chicken077]

Ohhhh yeahhhhh this one! /ee/ already know my #1, my favorite country Taylor song and probably my 3rd favorite song from her overall. Definitely going to participate and hopefully my #1 goes far!

/ee/ might have to do this one, if only to help Back To December. Even if /ee/ don't do this one, could you tag me for Red and 1989?
Edit: Also, are you going to put the other TS rankdowns in the pop section of the rankdown thread?

[dub]

For some reason /ee/ actually listened to this today on /æ/ whim. So maybe /ee/'ll try to submit soon instead of pushing the deadline like /ee/ usually do hehe

/ee/’ll add you to the tag list for now in case you want to do it. /ee/’ll try to remember for Red and 1989, but if /ee/ forget please remind me and /ee/’ll make sure to tag you!

What do you mean by the “pop section of the rankdown thread”? Idk about “Red” because it still had country singles too but /ee/’m pretty sure 1989 will be under pop.

/ee/ was talking about the "Winners Archive and Queue 2.0" thread started by YotamTS, where the rankdowns are split by genre. Also, good point about Red.

In terms of the [/æ/ href="http://pulsemusic.proboards.com/thread/169824/official-country-rankdown-thread?page=1"]Official Country Rankdown[//æ/] thread that /ee/ update to archive all the Country rankdowns, /ee/ will still include [/ee/]Red[//ee/] because she was still technically /æ/ Country artist at that point and still released /æ/ few songs to Country radio, even though the Pop transition was obviously beginning to happen. [/ee/]1989[//ee/] and [/ee/]Reputation[//ee/] though will not be put into the Country queue and/or archive.

/ee/ know you were asking about Yotam's queue of all the rankdowns, but /ee/ thought /ee/ would share my stance since /ee/ maintain the more in-depth Country queue :-)

/ee/ think Yotam might have always put this album RD series in pop because /ee/ rememeber seeing the [/ee/]Taylor Swift[//ee/] (album) rankdown in the pop section not the country section which /ee/ was /æ/ bit puzzled by at the time but didn't care enough to tell him to move it to country or anything.

[fearlessarrow]

/ee/'ve gotten 10 lists (including mine), so /ee/ thought it would be /æ/ good time for /æ/ reminder! You still have close to /æ/ month to submit (due March 30th), so feel free to procrastinate /æ/ bit more!

SPOILER: Click to show

{...if you say so...}/ee/ have about /æ/ dozen rankdowns to catch up on anyways.

[Mylo13 💜]

Submitted!

/ee/ don't think this was as strong as Fearless to be honest, but some gems still shine. In both pf the last two, my top or lowest went in the opposite ranks, so /ee/'m hoping NOT for that this time.

[Choco]

Done. Can't wait for Red and 1989 though. This one has /æ/ handful of gems but the rest is very forgettable.

My #1 ain't winning

[deepston]

1989 and Red will be /æ/ swiftie bloodbath!

All her album rankdowns are/will be bloodbaths for me! It pained me so much to rank certain songs low in the [/ee/]Taylor Swift[//ee/] and [/ee/]Fearless[//ee/] rankdowns and then this one's hurting me even more since /ee/ love my #1-#16 and then /ee/ still like my #17.

[fearlessarrow]

/ee/ have 13 lists (hey Taylor's lucky number!!!) as of right now, but just /æ/ reminder that this is due in [/uh/]2 weeks[//uh/]!
