All of these songs are good, but "The Kick Inside" particularly is a stunning little song and a great closer.

The title track was the one I had the hardest placing.
Bit surprised to see The Saxophone Song still in.

Very glad both Oh To Be In Love and Strange Phenomena made it this far. Was expecting the latter to possibly go out sooner.

#6 sees the first loss of a top 2 rank since Feel It, as well as one of the last #13s. It also spent more time in the top 5 than any song below it, and is one of two songs (alongside L'Amour Looks Something Like You) to change position after every list. Highest rank: 2 Perfect rankings: 0 Lowest rank: 13

#5 is a decent distance from the top 4, despite spending far longer in the top 5 than Strange Phenomena. It's also the last song without a top 2 rank, but ended up with one of the higher SDs. Highest rank: 3 (x3) Perfect rankings: 1 Lowest rank: 12

#4 is eleven points ahead of Oh to Be in Love, but only missed the top 3 by four. It traded places with #3 several times, but lost out with the last list. Highest rank: 2 (x2) Perfect rankings: 1 Lowest rank: 13

Yes, that path does mean that the same songs were the top 2 for the entire game. It also means only two people's #1s missed the top two. Highest rank: 1 Perfect rankings: 2 Lowest rank: 12

That one deserves top 2. I had Moving higher initially, but then it slipped a bit.

From the very beginning, the top 2 was clear, holding 17 of the game's 24 top 2 ranks between them, as well as 10 of 12 #1s. They also have the two lowest SDs (with one being by far the lowest until the last two lists).
But which will win? Find out in 10 minutes.

I'd like to thank all of you for kicking off this series with an unexpectedly high turnout, and I hope you'll all be able to stick around for the rest of it. If nothing gets in the way, Lionheart should be open for ranking in the next couple days.

I'm shocked that the top two wasn't "Wuthering Heights" and "Moving". Very, very bold choice for a last place, but I don't really mind it, because it helped "The Man with the Child in His Eyes" stay in the top two instead. I flirted with putting it #1, but I realized when I was about to submit that, despite how much I love "The Man", I've been listening to "Wuthering Heights" more lately, and that (barely) decided matters.
I had some level of familiarity with The Kick Inside, but I only kind of know "Wow" from Lionheart, so this will, basically, be a first listen of the entire album. Should be fun.

Up next is the follow-up (both chronologically and in its sound) to The Kick Inside, Lionheart. Being released only 9 months after her debut, only three of its ten songs ("Symphony in Blue", "Fullhouse" and "Coffee Homeground") were written specifically for the album, with the rest being among the nearly 200 songs she had written prior to The Kick Inside's release (although these were reworked before making the album). While successful in the UK, it wasn't able to reach the same heights as her debut, becoming her only studio album to miss the top 5 on the albums chart. It did manage to peak at #5 in several European countries, and made the top 20 in Australia and Sweden. Despite its success being somewhat split between '78 and '79, it was albe to make the UK's albums year-end chart for 1979 at #47, with a peak of #12 in that year. Like her debut, two songs were released internationally as singles, but neither "Hammer Horror" nor "Wow" were able to replicate the success of her previous era. They both charted in the UK and Ireland, with "Hammer Horror" reaching the top 10 in the latter. However, it was also the first single of Kate's to miss the top 40 in the UK. "Symphony in Blue" (the album opener) was exclusively made a single in Canada and Japan, where it was unable to chart. In case you're unfamiliar with how rankdowns work, you just need to rank these from #1 (your favourite) to #10 (your least favourite) and send your list to me in a PM. {The tracklist}1. Symphony in Blue 2. In Search of Peter Pan 3. Wow 4. Don't Push Your Foot on the Heartbrake 5. Oh England My Lionheart 6. Fullhouse 7. In the Warm Room 8. Kashka from Baghdad 9. Coffee Homeground 10. Hammer Horror {And without numbers}Symphony in Blue In Search of Peter Pan Wow Don't Push Your Foot on the Heartbrake Oh England My Lionheart Fullhouse In the Warm Room Kashka from Baghdad Coffee Homeground Hammer Horror Again, I'm hoping three weeks will be enough for everyone to send, so this is due on the 17th September.
