Well at least my lowest ranked isn’t in the top 10. Paper Dolls is beautiful.
I should have know that the one time I’m here for something LY related outside of its big singles and key tracks that they’d get tanked.

LOL, the early #1 didn't even make top 5. I don't know if it would've been better or worse if more people submitted lists.
My personal faves did well, as you shall see in the coming days, so I'm happy with the overall results. I don't sort my spreadsheet until all the lists are in, so even I don't know what ranks high or low until I get ready to do the reveals. Other than BPM, I'm not sad at what has left so far.

Sharing some comments on the reveals of the B-sides —of which I had heard only two songs before 2021. 19. Never spoken (17): this was a clear bottom 5 to me. The melody was weak —kinda album track material for Natalie Imbruglia and her vocals most of the times don’t work very well for this rock pop like genre either, as seen in previous albums. Not horrible by any means, just forgettable and mediocre. 18. Good life (16): I agree that the drunk baby vocals are offputting here. However I appreciate the instrumental and production and her venturing into bossa nova / Brazilian music style, as she’s barely recorded Latin tunes. Otherwise I would’ve ranked it a bit lower... 17. Ocean blue (4): Awww. :’( this was a great discovery, although it took a few listens to click with me. I mean, I liked the tender, soothing melody since first listen and her unusual crisp vocals primarily backed by an acoustic guitar. At the same time, it felt a bit boring when not paying detailed attention. After a few rounds of detailed listen, I appreciated the increased use of strings after the first chorus, her background vocals in the last minute, and the melody in the bridge. I got it. And I considered it as one of her best attempts to do a Coldplay type of ballad. Very pleasantly surprised. 16. Soul on fire (13): [why are my bottom two not out yet?!] I really liked the 00s polished production here, the use of guitar and percussion with some more Latin flare, too, and some nice harmonic background vocals. The melody starts well but ends up disappointing in a chorus centered on an woohh oohh ooooohh 15. Cover me with kisses (18): good to see this gone :) gurl, you know you’ve tried this style before a few times... it was never cute... and got you to create one of your worst album tracks (I’m looking at chu, Kookachoo!) why you kept insisting with this? Sounded like a song for a cartoon or kids tv show, including thanks to some of the sound effects that were a choice. Nope. This and my #19 were clear bottom of the barrel to me. 14. Boombox (12): this is one of the two songs I had heard years ago. After X, I found this remix CD in a record store and bought it. At that time I did like the unorthodox production quite a bit. It was also fun. However, in this rankdown there were songs much stronger melodically, so I couldn’t rank this higher. I’d say that my ‘point’ difference between this and #13 was quite high. 13. BPM (3): huh? How is this lower than my #19? Don’t get it... this was my favorite discovery in this rankdown. Super fun, catchy, with multiple hooks, including a festive, party chorus and instrumental bridge that despite their disco influence also include some interesting hard, rock guitar like sounds. Very strong production and a melody that quickly got stuck in my head -wow wow your beats per minute! :) 12. Paper dolls (10): such a nice melody! And her soft vocals work very well here, too, as she makes the story quite believable; the subdued production that starts with acoustic guitar but turns into more of an uptempo pop ballad also work well to me. The whole vibe just puts a big smile in my face didn’t rank it higher because other songs were more interesting to me. 11. Harmony (11): I really like the early-mid 80s sophistipop vibe of this tune, including very typical keyboard sounds of some 80s ballads. Her vocals are pretty good, and the melody in the pre-chorus is specially strong, although the chorus is a bit of a letdown...
