Please let Lights finally lose something naah, the song is just too good. And you see I absolutely WANT to believe that but I can't. For me It went from "Cute indie song" to "I love it" to "Oh I'm glad others are loving it" to "Ok the radio is overplaying but I'm ok" to "Why are people acting like this is the greatest song ever" to "Turn the fucking radio off"

I mean it’s a predictable winner, but like man what a great pop song.

- I was going to go into this thread with the mindset that "Guns and Horses" was "underrated", and it nearly made the top ten lol - "My Blood" as the highest non-single is a good, good choice. - I'm surprised that "I Need Your Love" missed the top ten. I would have preferred it in the top ten over LMLYD, though lord knows that wasn't going to happen. - I forgot about SFFY, though it probably would have been my 12 or 13, not in my top ten proper. Still good, though. - "Starry Eyed" wasn't my introduction to Ellie, but it was the song that convinced me she was worth my time beyond said introduction. Super soft spot for it. - Well, I thought "Burn" was going to be #2 behind the obvious #1. Interesting. - I'm glad "Figure 8" made the top five, because I didn't think it was a sure thing. The fact that we live in a world where this wasn't a world-conquering hit is ten different shades of wrong. - As for "Something in the Way You Move", see my thoughts on "Figure 8". - I just fail to see what makes "Love Me Like You Do" anything special, and not just this high on this list, but above two of Ellie's best songs. It's not a bad song, but it's kind of boring. - Lowkey shocked that "Anything Could Happen" was this high, but I am here for it. - I may have complained about some of her hit songs coasting into the top 15/10/5, but, when push comes to shove, her most impactful hit is also the best one. I doubt you're really going to see anyone complain about it winning, no matter how obvious it is.

Guns And Horses too low and before Close To Me is a crime. On My Mind in the top 10 is a choice.
Red and Adrian besties with taste. Figure 8 is her best song, I got goosebumps everytime I hear the song. So glad "Anything Could Happen" beat "Love Me Like You Do"
"Lights" is amazing to date.
Thanks for hosting Samo!

“Lights” is one of the best hits of last decade and was clearly robbed of hitting #1. It’s just that good. When I first heard it, I constantly monitored pop radio, waiting for the local DJ to say the artist’s name. When he first did, I panicked and repeated it over and over in my head, writing the name “Elly Golden” on a scrap of paper and taping it to my wall.
However, my #1 was always going to be “Anything Could Happen”. I still remember being floored by the hook when I first heard it as a kid - the way Goulding used her voice as an instrument (she does it a lot) shook me. It wasn’t pitch-shifted, but it was clearly edited somehow. It’s such a euphoric yet icy song.
I’ll always go to bat for her. She was in the same crowd as artists like Marina, Lorde, Florence, Sky Ferreira and Lana yet doesn’t get the same cred.

I know I am the last to be talking...but On My Mind as someone #1....thats a choice I'm only a casual fan and only really like her "basic bops". Well that's what I've heard her bigger fans call the songs I like by her. lol On a side note I would have stuck "I Need Your Love" in my Top 10 but forgot about it... Ugh

With the number of exams I have after Easter break, I may take a hiatus from this for a month or two after we finish this round, but this will be back in June. surprise! The last artist being ranked before we go for another round of voting is...Shakira! Since she has a larger catalogue of music than most of the artists we've seen so far (including several Spanish albums I'd really appreciate everyone giving a listen to), I'll give you guys a little longer than usual for this; the (tentative) deadline is the 11th July.

To clarify, I'd normally exclude a song like "Beautiful Liar" due to it being eligible for a previous round, but since Bey and Shakira are both credited as a lead artist you can also send it for this round.
