not that fourth option in the poll 😂 

my problem with Ciara's new song is that I love the parts without her more than her parts. it's cute overall, I'll take the two perfect ranks back to back.

my remaining ranks:
1 2 3 4 5 6 9 10
13 15

[SHOOTER]

Not Pulse being low-key THEY. stans. I would’ve never guessed!

[wrip]

ok call me basic but i’m doing so good with this top 10!!!

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 😍 all of these i enjoyed so i’m fine with anything winning pretty much (though let’s be real Virgo’s Groove is very deserving of winning)

[CagedJuggalo The Third Tanker]

All I'm gonna say is

A) Pineapple Cognac is a vibe and a half

And

B) Cuff It > Virgos Groove

[.indulgecountry]

I think I've decided Kirby is not for me cause I swear every time I hear one of her songs, I'm like wtf is that voice.

Surprised Cici missed top 10. And that "Right on Time" didn't.

Justice for India Shawn. Her debut album is a smooth ride, much like Snoh Aalegra's last two albums.

Will "Summertime" be included in this month's list, given its music video release? We need to push the girls to the top!

Maybe they can take ____'s spot. Decisions.

As long as "Persuasive" doesn't win, I'll be happy.

That is my absolute main con with it. I can enjoy everything in the song up until the chorus glitches the matrix.

Hmmm. Sigh. Yeah.

A few things went out too early but🤧

Let's be real - Beyoncé is probably winning again, the question is which song.

[wrip]

would’ve been cool if India and They. had made top 5 but I’m not too surprised and just glad they made top 10!

1 2 5 6 8, cool with any winner really but i’m mainly rooting for Virgo’s Groove and Persuasive!
