ELIO f/ Charli XCX - “CHARGER” (Kimberly, #2) vs. Emma Hoet f/ BLOWSOM - “Arrogance Bikini” (gotportugal, #5)
Pretty similar songs, but I liked the disco groove to Arrogance Bikini a bit more.

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs - “Reducer” (peacebone, #2) vs. Mysie - “Keep Up With Your Heart” (Ky, #5)
Reducer is some good old school lofi noise rock. I liked it. Mysie was pleasant, but didn't grab my attention as much.

BENEE - “Kool” (woods, #2) vs. My Morning Jacket - “Welcome Home” (Tanooki, #5)
I'm a big fan of MMJ, but Welcome Home is one of the weaker tracks on Waterfall II to me. Kool was a nice indie pop jam. 

1 800 PAIN - “HURT” (cf72, #2) vs. Bad Bunny f/ ROSALÍA - “La Noche De Anoche” (Juan Carlos, #5)
This song hurt hurt hurt hurt hurt. Bad Bunny had a nice groove to it. Not his best, but decent. 

Xiu Xiu f/ Liz Harris - “A Bottle Of Rum” (Kyle #2) vs. Carly Rae Jepsen f/ Bleachers - “Comeback” (Samo, #5)
Xiu Xiu was a cool song. Liked the instrumentals and build up. CRJ, however, always seems to put together such well crafted, well written pop songs. Bleachers add a nice touch, too. Tough pick. 

††† - “The Beginning Of The End” (Lordeftones, #2) vs. Vacation Manor - “If Only For Tonight” (DistrictTwelve, #5)
Crosses has a great Depeche Mode vibe. Favorite find of this set. Vacation Manor also had a very strong song. Probably would have won against most of the others in this set. 

H.E.R. - “Hold On” (wrip, #2) vs. Aesop Rock - “Long Legged Larry” (MoD, #5)
Love HER's voice and blues/soul combo. Larry made me laugh...and it's surprisingly catchy. Going with HER, but I liked both. 

Aubrie Sellers - “Haven’t Even Kissed Me Yet” (D3vin44, #2) vs. Ryan Hurd & Maren Morris - “Chasing After You” (Tay, #5)
Ironically, the chiming guitars of "Haven't Even Kissed Me Yet" reminded me of the guitar tones in Sixpence's "Kiss Me." Pretty song, too - she's got an old school country voice that works here. "Chasing After You" sounded like a hundred other country duets to me. Nothing wrong with it, but Aubrie piqued my interest more.

ELIO f/ Charli XCX - “CHARGER” (Kimberly, #2) [8.5/10] vs. Emma Hoet f/ BLOWSOM - “Arrogance Bikini” (gotportugal, #5) [6.4/10]
wow "CHARGER" is one of my very few saved songs so far... soooo good

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs - “Reducer” (peacebone, #2) [7.2/10] vs. Mysie - “Keep Up With Your Heart” (Ky, #5) [7.6/10]
"Reducer" was alright but points to Ky for sending a song that clicked with me (despite the genre)

BENEE - “Kool” (woods, #2) [6.6/10] vs. My Morning Jacket - “Welcome Home” (Tanooki, #5) [7.8/10]
"Welcome Home" is exactly the kind of song I would fall in love with but I found the melodies a little underwhelming for a contemporary folk rock song.

1 800 PAIN - “HURT” (cf72, #2) [7.3/10] vs. Bad Bunny f/ ROSALÍA - “La Noche De Anoche” (Juan Carlos, #5) [7/10]

Xiu Xiu f/ Liz Harris - “A Bottle Of Rum” (Kyle #2) [7.8/10] vs. Carly Rae Jepsen f/ Bleachers - “Comeback” (Samo, #5) [9/10]
"A Bottle of Rum" loses points for the spoken-type vocals.

††† - “The Beginning Of The End” (Lordeftones, #2) [8/10] vs. Vacation Manor - “If Only For Tonight” (DistrictTwelve, #5) [8.2/10]

Poli Genova - “Last Night” (Leo, #3) vs. Jasmine Cephas Jones f/ Daveed Diggs - “Wild Thing (Remix)” (Az Paynter, #4)
These are both pretty decent discoveries, the former was more catchy

Tenille Arts - “Somebody Like That” (bboat11, #3) vs. Bebe Rexha - “Sacrifice” (Fire, #4)
Sacrifice is such a fucking bop and I personally have yet to get into Tenile Arts at all, Somebody Like That didn't do much for me

Snoh Aalegra - “Whoa” (Cynthia, #3) vs. Kelsea Ballerini f/ Kenny Chesney - “Half Of My Hometown” (indulge, #4)
Not too strong on either of these but Whoa was more my lane, Half Of My Hometown is pretty boring and Kelsea can do better

Pom Poko - “Andy Go To School” (recordyear, #3) vs. Megan Thee Stallion - “Circles” (Samo, #4)
Circles is such a bopppp and the sample of Holding You Down was enough to get my vote, the other song its cute but nothing I'd come back to

SAULT - “Free” (wamdjones, #3) vs. Rebecca Black - “Girlfriend” (woods, #4)
Free was a nice discovery but I've been in love with Girlfriend as of late, its the perfect Spring pop bop 

Brockhampton f/ Danny Brown - “Buzzcut” (singingrulebritannia, #3) vs. Kylie Minogue - “Real Groove” (BB, #4)
This was a hard one because these are both bops but I play Real Groove more so Kylie gets my vote

HAIM - “3 AM” (gotportugal, #3) vs. Lauren Alaina f/Jon Pardi - “Getting Over Him” (Bigfan101, #4)
This was probably the easiest matchup for me, 3 AM is one of my favorites from HAIM's recent album and I have not really gotten into any Lauren Alaina songs so sorry tractors

Tough, I enjoyed both of these.

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs - “Reducer” (peacebone, #2) vs. Mysie - “Keep Up With Your Heart” (Ky, #5)

Also tough, two different vibes that I both liked.

BENEE - “Kool” (woods, #2) vs. My Morning Jacket - “Welcome Home” (Tanooki, #5)

Aaaaaand I thought that was a good BENEE song but not enough to beat MMJ

1 800 PAIN - “HURT” (cf72, #2) vs. Bad Bunny f/ ROSALÍA - “La Noche De Anoche” (Juan Carlos, #5)

And of course of all the songs i liked so far here's a matchup of two songs I couldn't stand. I guess HURT "hurt" less.

Xiu Xiu f/ Liz Harris - “A Bottle Of Rum” (Kyle #2) vs. Carly Rae Jepsen f/ Bleachers - “Comeback” (Samo, #5)

Bottle of Rum was mixed like hell but it doesn't take much to beat out Carly for me.

††† - “The Beginning Of The End” (Lordeftones, #2) vs. Vacation Manor - “If Only For Tonight” (DistrictTwelve, #5)

Ouch, Vacation Manor was pretty good. Kinda figured it would outdo the darkwave vibes here.

H.E.R. - “Hold On” (wrip, #2) vs. Aesop Rock - “Long Legged Larry” (MoD, #5)

Both were good. Going with underdog.

Aubrie Sellers - “Haven’t Even Kissed Me Yet” (D3vin44, #2) vs. Ryan Hurd & Maren Morris - “Chasing After You” (Tay, #5)

Ugh.

[Lordef†ones]

Well, shit.

[singingrulebritannia]

Yeesh, I swear I've received the hardest possible matchup for every one of my songs. Swift, Tai Verdes, Shamir, The Comet Is Coming, and now Kylie. I'm just assuming I'll get whatever the hardest #3 is too lmao

Poli Genova - “Last Night” (Leo, #3) vs. Jasmine Cephas Jones f/ Daveed Diggs - “Wild Thing (Remix)” (Az Paynter, #4)
- “Last Night” slaps! The beat is really solid in it, feels very 80s-inspired. Not the biggest fan of Jasmine’s voice in “Wild Thing”, though the production is dope.

Tenille Arts - “Somebody Like That” (bboat11, #3) vs. Bebe Rexha - “Sacrifice” (Fire, #4)
- The instrumentation in “Somebody” really gives it such a nice vibe, and she has a really nice voice too. “Sacrifice” might be one of Bebe’s best songs lol. It’s not my absolute *favorite* song, but it’s pretty fun.

Snoh Aalegra - “Whoa” (Cynthia, #3) vs. Kelsea Ballerini f/ Kenny Chesney - “Half Of My Hometown” (indulge, #4)
- “Whoa” is such a vibe! Definitely revisiting. “Half Of My Hometown” was in the middle of my rankings for Kelsea’s album. There’s elements of it that I appreciate quite a bit, though at times I wish there was just a bit more going on in the song.

Pom Poko - “Andy Go To School” (recordyear, #3) vs. Megan Thee Stallion - “Circles” (Samo, #4)
- “Andy Go To School” is bizarre but like in a really good way? I genuinely love the guitarwork in it, honestly the whole song is quite entertaining. Surprisingly this is my first time hearing “Circles” and wow, it goes hard. That beat is honestly so addicting. I think I’d listen to “Circles” more, though both of these are solid.

SAULT - “Free” (wamdjones, #3) vs. Rebecca Black - “Girlfriend” (woods, #4)
- Reaaaalllyyy conflicted here. “Free” is an amazing discovery, there’s something mesmerizing about it, especially around the 3 minute mark when she serves vocals. “Girlfriend” is Rebecca Black’s redemption arc, it’s been on my personal chart for a while now. Such a fun bop, and there’s something so catchy about the production especially in the chorus.

Brockhampton f/ Danny Brown - “Buzzcut” (singingrulebritannia, #3) vs. Kylie Minogue - “Real Groove” (BB, #4)
- “Buzzcut” topped my personal chart for 3 weeks, I think it clicked with me from the first listen. Love the hype in the song, really makes it enjoyable to listen to. “Real Groove” is a fun song, it isn’t exactly my favorite on Disco though. Rooting for Brockhampton here.

HAIM - “3 AM” (gotportugal, #3) vs. Lauren Alaina f/Jon Pardi - “Getting Over Him” (Bigfan101, #4)
- I think I like the Thundercat remix a bit more, but still “3 AM” is a vibe. “Getting Over Him” feels like something I’d love to hear while walking the streets of downtown Nashville. The instrumentation rocks. I’ll give it my vote since we already have one version of “3 AM” that qualified.
