avatar most rankdown hosts break ties based on highest ranks. So for instance if the highest rank for song A is a #4 but the highest rank for song B is a #3, then song B wins.

Just finishing off some final research and I should have it by tonight.
Honestly, it would be a crying shame if Ava Max ends up as a one hit wonder. I love her tone and singing voice and she has showcased to be a charming personality who could bring a lot of the extravagance and larger-than-life music back to the American charts. I hope she at least maintains momentum in Europe.

Damn I was going to do this but I didn’t realize that the deadline was so soon. Unfortunately I will have to skip out as idk if I’ll get a chance to do it tomorrow either. Maybe Tuesday I can idk, but you can start if you want.

So, having submitted my list, I can say that I utterly adore my 1-9, 10-12 are solid songs with some flaws that hinder my full enjoyment of them, and 13-16 range from rather generic to just not working as well as they should.
I have no idea of the general consensus when it comes to Ava Max's discography, but I really hope not to see "So Am I" in the bottom 3. It's way too overhated, and if it wasn't the follow-up to "Sweet But Psycho" that kind of killed her momentum, I bet y'all would be much kinder to it.
Also, if "Sweet But Psycho" was part of the rankdown, I think I'd probably place it in the 4-5 region. That's a great testament to her potential as an artist beyond a one-hit wonder, and I hope she continues to impress me with her upcoming era. 😊

The song is kinda naive and Ava is not heavily featured, which is why I placed it last.

Yea I didn’t have time to do this unfortunately. The Witt Lowry song IMO wasn’t that bad, and I’m usually not a fan of him.

Okie dokie, the rankdown has begun and my closeness is already a mess 😄
Anyway, while I was listening and relistening to the songs, I made some interesting observations that I feel might be nice sharing, so off we go to the obligatory commentaries from Music Box.
16. Into Your Arms - Witt Lowry (feat. Ava Max) (#13): I was expecting this would be one of the lower ranks, but I feel there are more underwhelming songs on this list, and Ava's chorus pretty much saves it for me, as well as the premise of the song.
Ava Max’s part is standard lyrically but well-sung and promising, and I do like the whole premise of the song being about the conflict of commitment in a relationship. However, I feel like it should be way better developed in order to make us care about the narrative presented, which isn’t the case here.
Witt Lowry borrows way too heavily from Eminem’s style of flow, and it’s hard to get this out of my head when I’m listening to his parts. The first verse is decent, but the second one has its fair share of cringeworthy and frankly unnecessary moments (did he really say 'tummy'?). And the outro is very underwhelming
15. Not Your Barbie Girl - Ava Max (#12): Another one I imagined would be divisive, but for me it's just not worthy of a bottom 3 at all. Sure, the rapping parts feel very Meghan Trainor-esque and there are some awkward lines, but the whole idea of sampling "Barbie Girl" and making it into an empowering song is a noble one, and I really enjoyed the production throughout. It's a guilty pleasure, but a bop regardless.
Love the idea of sampling the chorus of the original song but twisting its message into something empowering - the chorus and the bridge perfectly nail this premise. Unfortunately, the verses and especially the rap pre-chorus (which is cute, but a bit forced and very Meghan Trainor-esque) bring it down by a fair bit. Production is quite solid though, especially the breakdown before the bridge.
