Being Again and the lead single are terribly overrated.

Being Again and the lead single are terribly overrated. Can no-one refer to it by name?

Holy Ground became a favorite very recently after I revisited Red on a very lonely night.
I'm fine with BA or WANGBT leaving at this point.

#6: "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"
Points: 563 Average: 8.74 Standard Deviation: 5.325 (3rd highest SD) Hidden Message: When I stopped caring what you thought Billboard Hot 100 Peak: #1 (3 weeks)
The lead single stalls right outside of the top 5. This song became Taylor's first Billboard Hot 100 #1 back in August 2012, launching her into a more prominent spot in the pop music scene. People speculated that this song is about Jake Gyllenhaal, but nothing is really clear from the liner notes or the lyrics. As expected, this song was polarizing, and everyone's rankings were just all over the place. I always think I don't like this song as much as I do, but every time I listen to this, I bop along to this. I think that's the primary reason I edited my rankings during the submission process, I had to move it up (even if it's just by 1 spot).

This song is awesome! It was when I truly became a bit fan of hers. Anyone who put this in their bottom 5 has major trouble establishing their presence in relationships.

Only song from the album I skip. Never got into it, it's a crime that this peaked higher than IKYWT.

Kinda expected.
Solid top 5, all 5 songs are really good. 4/5 from my top 5 are still in.

(Sad my #1 is out)

My #1, #4, #5, #6, #8 are still in. Although I wish some of the album tracks lasted longer I'm mostly ok with the way the album tracks were ranked and the way the singles were ranked.

I never liked WANEGBT at all. Sounded very immature coming from her imo. I expected better out of her.
I have my 1, 3, 5, 10, and 12 left.

Still in with my #1, #2, #3, #5 and #6
Obviously rooting for my #1 but I'd be okay with my #2 and #3 winning too

Your top 5! State of Grace Red I Knew You Were Trouble. All Too Well Begin Again
Any predictions on how the top 5 would look?
Just as a sidenote, but Red used to be Taylor's worst-selling studio album up until reputation came along. It's still her second worst-selling album, but who has a second worst-selling album with sales of 4.4 million? She really is an album sales powerhouse.

I knew "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" would have a high standard deviation.

Yay, my 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 are all in! I don't know why the Taylor Swift fans are so angry, because this top 5 is pretty much as perfect as it could be

1. What will finish at #1?-- "All Too Well" and "I Knew You Were Trouble" will be the top 2, so one of them. 2. What will finish at #19?-- "All Too Well" or something like "Starlight". 3. What will have the highest standard deviation (most polarizing)?-- "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "The Last Time". 4. What will have the lowest standard deviation (least polarizing)?-- "All Too Well" and "Girl At Home". 5. Other tracks you think will do well/poorly?-- None of the bonus tracks is gonna make the top 10 even though they deserve it, "22" might miss the top 10 due to a lot of tankers. "Begin Again" and "Holy Ground" will hopefully reach the top 8 or something. 6. Any guesses on the best performing single (although this may or may not overlap with the #1 question)?- "I Knew You Were Trouble". 7. Any other random comments/thoughts if you have any?-- Out of my top 8 songs (which I named 'All time favorites tier') I can see 3 or 4 of them leave outside the top 10. -- People are gonna hate me for my #19. -- They're also gonna hate me for having their precious *overrated* song in my bottom 3. -- My #15 was one of my most hated Taylor Swift songs for a long time. I kinda love it now though and I'm glad things turned around. I wouldn't mind if it escaped the bottom 5 but it won't. If Begin Again and Holy Ground both miss the top 8 due to Everything Has Changed I will flip a table. Otherwise I can't imagine both of them missing top 8. My prediction is 1. All Too Well 2. I Knew You Were Trouble 3. Red 4. State of Grace 5. Begin Again 6. Holy Ground 7. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together 8. Treacherous 9. 22 10. Everything Has Changed 11. Sad Beautiful Tragic 12. Starlight 13. Come Back Be Here 14. I Almost Do 15. The Moment I Knew 16. The Last Time 17. The Lucky One 18. Stay Stay Stay 19. Girl At Home Well I predicted the top 5 correctly. Time to see if I got the order right too.

I hope it's not another predictable winner (i.e. IKYWT) but I really, really hope my #15 doesn't pull an upset!

I lost another Top 5. “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” is brilliant.
Now, for those two overrated songs I was talking about. I swear, if both of them outlast my #1....

WANEGBT is my least favourite song off the original album, but it's still good lol. This album is just incredible!
22 is good, but still a low point on the album tbh. Stralight is also good. Nice spot for that. Everything Has Changed is incredible, and underrated :( Perfect ranking for Holy Ground! I'm so proud I pushed WANEGBT,LE down 3 spots with my list!
And this top 5 is pretty okay tbh. Although, TLT, Treacherous and EHS should be there...

“22” is a cute song but nothing that will be remembered 5 years from now. It had its little run and it’s already gone.
Starlight did about what it should have here. It’s good, but not her best. I love the first two lines of the chorus.
Everything Has Changed is boring and shouldn’t have been a single but it’s not bad. End Game is better.
I LOVE “Holy Ground”, and if it wasn’t for ATW being on the same album it would have coasted to my #1. I do, however, wonder how much it benefits from sequencing considering it comes after the worst song in her entire catalog on the tracklisting. Most of her fans who didn’t puncture their ears to keep from hearing the rest of track 10 as it played probably loved this one as soon as it started the first time they listened to RED.
Sad WANEGBT couldn’t make the Top 5. I’ve always had a soft spot for that song and the talking part is the only part I don’t stan for. One of her best singles.

Have you been 22 at any time since this album was released? I am 30 now, I was 24 when it first came out. I moreso meant it doesn’t have the longevity of Trouble or WANEGBT as far as her career hits go.
