H.E.R: Self-Titled Album Rankdown (Completed)

[wrip]

Welcome to the H.E.R. Album Rankdown!


In honor of H.E.R. winning the Grammy for Song of the Year with "I Can't Breathe" yesterday, I figured now would be a good time to open a rankdown for my favorite artist  Gabi Wilson's first album is a compilation of tracks from her two EPs: H.E.R., Vol. 1 and H.E.R., Vol. 2, along with 6 additional tracks. The album was released on October 20, 2017, and won the award for Best R&B Album at the 2019 Grammys. This is honestly one of my favorite albums, I find myself coming back to it all the time. Hopefully you guys will enjoy listening to it as well!

There are 21 songs to rank here. Same rules as usual, please rank these from 1 (favorite) to 21 (least favorite) and send them in a PM to me (@/wripwrap) by the tentative due date (April 4).


Here are the songs:
Losing
Avenue
Let Me In
Lights On
Say It Again
Facts
Focus
U
Every Kind Of Way
Best Part (w Daniel Caesar)
Changes
Jungle
Free
Rather Be
2
Hopes Up
Still Down
Wait For It

Taste! I definitely agree with you, I like always come back to the album!

[wrip]

This is technically due in 2 days, though I'd like to get (hopefully) around 10 lists before revealing. I know a few people are planning to send for this anyways, but if anyone needs an extension then let me know! Chances are I'll give this another week before revealing.

Thanks to Gates and Stallie for sending!

I went hard with this when it first came out. Too many songs for me to want to rank. Tag me when I Used to Know Her is next.

[Agent Yoncé]

Working on it now. Will send my list soon 😁

[wrip]

Hi! So this is technically due today, though I think a few more lists are going to be coming in so I'll leave this open for a bit longer! Let me know if you do want to send a list for this, as well as if you'll need more time!

Thank you to Ty, Agent Yoncé, jamesflame, Leo and Samo for sending!

Hey y'all, so I decided I will officially close this on Sunday, April 11- if anyone else is looking to send in the next few days then you have some more time! I'm pretty happy with how many lists I have now though so I feel comfortable closing then.

Thank you Leaf for sending!

Submitted.

[wrip]

These results have been very interesting (and not entirely what I expected), I hope y'all are ready!

I'm expecting one more list to come in tonight, but in the meantime I'm going to say this is closed! Reveals should begin tomorrow.

In the meantime, if anyone wants to make predictions then feel free to! Here are some questions if anyone wants to answer them:
- Which song will win? Which songs will make up the top 5?
- Which song will come in last? Which songs will comprise of the bottom 5?
- Which song(s) will be most divisive? Least divisive?
- Any other predictions

"Best Part" is a lock to win this but I hope my #1 can reach top 5.

Starting off with #21, we've got "Still Down", where all except one person put this outside their top 10. I do honestly love every song on this album, though this is one of the songs I don't come back to as much compared to the rest of the album.

#20 we see two top 10 rankings go, with stallie losing her #2 right off the bat (my condolences). "Wait For It" is another song that I don't come back to as much on this album, though I really love the chill vibe of it.
