Into Your Arms: The chorus is amazing but the verses are thoroughly uninteresting.
Not Your Barbie Girl: The fact that Ava Max can interpolate one of the most annoying songs I've ever heard and actually make it pretty darn likable just goes to show how talented she is

Right...two excellent reveals and one song that was utterly ROBBED (it seems like some of you were too scared to break the taboo).
14. Slippin’ - Ava Max (feat. Gashi): My second ever PERFECT RANKING after "Beautiful People" won as best song of Ed Sheeran's latest album (and rightfully so!). However, unlike my first PERFECT RANKING, I don't have much to talk about here, I'm afraid, so I'll just have to copy-and-paste my rough notes...
meh...decent enough vocals, solid but unremarkable and generic lyrics - sounds like an Ariana Grande reject, especially with the rap feature
Also, am I the only one who finds Ava Max more similar to Ariana Grande (vocally, at least) than Lady Gaga? When I first heard "So Am I" on the radio, I could have sworn it was Ari singing it, before I realized the lyrics were way too out-of-character for her 😂
13. Tabú - deleted Alborán (feat. Ava Max): My #8, hence first top 10 ranking lost, yet definitely not the one I was expecting to leave first. This song was a great discovery and a real grower. The instrumentals at the beginning were a bit of a choice, but you get used to them. Ava and deleted have great chemistry, with her English verses perfectly complementing his Spanish verses. I like the lyrics, which are effectively delivered by both artists, especially Ava on the chorus.
I'm glad this song managed to be a hit in Spain, but it deserved to have as much success as other Latin crossover tracks like the Demi Lovato-assisted "Échame la Culpa" (whose English lyrics are just tragic, may I add). This is how we do Latin pop, folks!
12. Let It Be Me - David Guetta (feat. Ava Max): My #16. Given that I usually really enjoy David Guetta's production, this was one of the tracks I was looking forward the most to listen, and yet it turned out to be the biggest disappointment. My rant sums it best...
a mess - there are elements that do work, mainly Ava Max’s charming performance and the melodies of the verses and chorus, but the rest is way too flawed to put this song any higher. The drop is awful, the stuttering on the pre-chorus is cringeworthy to listen and the lyrics are the female equivalent of the ‘nice guy anthem’ without any interesting depth to the narrative in question. A disappointment, really, and the biggest interchangeable song here where it could have easily been sung by someone like Bebe Rexha or Rita Ora and it wouldn't have made a difference
Also...doing some research, it turns out I'm not too fond of one of the fan-favorites, so I am ready to see this song make it further than I hoped to (I still like it well enough, though). Also, I don't expect my #15 to leave so soon, but I hope it doesn't make the top 5.
Looking forward to upcoming reveals 😊

Right! That was an exciting set of reveals!
11. Slow Dance - AJ Mitchell (feat. Ava Max): My #15. What a pleasant surprise to see it not making the top 10, given that I thought it would have more supporters. I'm sorry, but this song just doesn't work for me. The whole talk-thing they do on the pre-chorus is awkward and AJ Mitchell is really bland as a singer, and he has very little chemistry with Ava. Despite the nice sentiment of the lyrics, it's definitely her most generic and uninspired song to date, especially since the title is so promising.
10. Clap Your Hands - Le Youth (feat. Ava Max): And I just lost my #2 😭
an extremely strong EDM track with infectiously fun and danceable production alongside a great sentiment from the lyrics. It’s peak dance pop at its very finest. Ava shines as usual, especially on the outro where her whistle notes/falsettos match with the melodies of the chorus. (that's sheer pop perfection right here) Only issue is that it can get repetitive, but at least it’s good repetition.
I adore this song, and it was one of my top discoveries while doing this rankdown. Everything here just works wonderfully, and it's such a feel-good banger. I won't say it was robbed because the remaining songs are all incredibly strong (yes, even "So Am I"), but I would have loved to see it make the top 5. Also, was this a hit anywhere? Because I'm sure I heard that chorus somewhere before... 🤔

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. I seriously thought this was going to make the top 5 for some reason, but thankfully taste won.
