I am a bit shocked by Fear And Loathing so low but knowing Marina fans I guess it makes sense lol. And hey this didn't even rank in my top 10 cause the album is just too good

Woah! At the "Fear and Loathing" loss.
The rest are unsurprising given then recently widely available nature of those tracks.
I do love the wordplay in EVOL even if it's a bit too in your face by the end of the track. "Living Dead" is fun but "Teen Idol" is by far the superior song from the Idle Teen archetype.

Damn, I am glad "Lonely Hearts Club" had outlasted the bottom five, but I'm not surprised it was next.
I actually re-sequenced the album to put it first. It flows really nicely into "Bubblegum Bitch." In my mind, this gives the impression of a man entering Electra Heart's world.
Lonely Heart Club - he sees her at a singles bar Bubblegum Bitch - they start dating Primadonna - he learns of her behavior EVOL - an interlude to indicate the fun and infatuation are wearing off Lies - conflict, resentment, and silent treatment grow
It's a nice little intro story for the album. After that, the other American female archetypes are explored more.
Sidenote: I always saw the Fear and Loathing song and video as Electra Heart's headspace right before she joins the 27 Club.

I like your way of thinking. I'm personally just confused why the title track wasn't the intro I personally think of Electra Heart as the curtain call track of the record especially since its the final music video and their are implication basically that its the track of realization of herself and then basically that afterwards Electra Heart commits suicide. If I reordered the record I'd definitely have it be the closer. I do like the music video sequencing since it fits a little more logically, the album is a bit all over the place especially considering the regional differences and deluxe cuts and now the new Platinum Blonde edition. Anyways I'm gonna take a break and come back to continue reveals around like 3-4 PM EST.

Maybe it's because she released it last during the final video in the album series to signify the album era was over.

I thought "Lies" would go farther if only because I assumed I'd be in the minority that doesn't think it's anything special. Pleasantly surprised to see I'm not.

Ngl I'm surprised to see this one get so high. I do still like it but yet again- I love everything on this album. It's not really because I think it doesn't fit, I just thought it was a more weaker track all around compared to others

I'm not sure why "sex sex sex sex sex sex sex" keeps getting stuck in my head but it does. Love the societal issues the song brings up as well. Underrated track imo!

8/10 of my Top 10 are still in this.
I'm surprised "Electra Heart" and "Sex Yeah" made it as far as they did. I really enjoy "Hypocrates." It's simple but effective.

Sex Yeah is great! I love how Marina turns her savage lyrical takedowns toward society instead of a lover in this one.
I'm shocked my #18 is still in though. It's one of the few I find a little dull in comparison to the rest.

I'm gonna predict the Top 5 because why not.
1. "Primadonna" 2. "Radioactive" 3. "Teen Idle" 4. "Starring Role" 5. "Bubblegum Bitch"

The line "instead of being 16 and burning up a bible/feeling super SUPER SUPER! suicidal" gets me every time and makes me think of my friends with religious trauma.

I think 3/5 of the ones I selected aren't even in my Top 5. I just assume a few of them will do better overall. I'm personally rooting for "The State of Dreaming" to sneak into Top 5.

Electra Heart- This has been a recent fav for me. Never used to notice it much but lately I've bopping to it so hard. Starting to think I even ranked it a bit low Homewrecker- A bop in and out Valley Of The Dolls- Got shoved a bit in my ranking sadly, competition too strong lol
