My Thoughts: This bop, she's aged well suprsingly and its still one of my favorites. "A human vulnerability doesn't mean that I am weak" lives on as one of my favorite lyrics from the album.

not sure what Radioactive is doing still in this but otherwise I’m very happy with what’s left

Statements like this are why I judge your choices sometimes.

They are also early indicators that Primadonna is the likely winner because people split over the other singles.

I love "Power & Control." Such a bop. I still remember that 'The new album featuring the hit single "Primadonna," "Lies" and "Starring Role." Second single....... "Power & Control"' meme.

It was a bizarre single choice tbh.

[SHOOTER]

Just rob me of all the perfect rankings. It's fine.

Damn, I was hoping it could sneak into the top 5...

That means two things I ranked below #10 made the top 5 :/

#15 is still like great tier for me soooo..

[#brayden]

2/5 of my Top 5 are still in this.

"Teen Idle" is very good but I don't seek it out as often as other tracks that I ranked higher.

It's a good Top 5 overall. One of them wasn't in my Top 10 so I hope that one bites the dust next. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not, though.

My Thoughts: I personally consider this to be the pinnacle track of the record and easily a standout due to it probably representing the themes of the album being revolved around dismantling the deceptive and artificial beautiful things and views of the world. It definitely became my favorite of the record in recent years but was always up there for me.

I’ve had The State Of Dreaming on repeat these past couple of days, it’s just been clicking in my head even more than usual. I was driving and listening to it and the vibes were immaculate 🙌

My Thoughts: That first "At least I think I do" lives rent free in my mind, easily my favorite part of the song. Also shoutout to whoever at her label said she looked ugly in this music video, she served and they need to go fuck themselves.

Audience: avatar  gabe  Ty

[samo🦕]

when literally every line of the song is quotable 🥰 we love that for her

though tbf you can say that about most of this top 3

[#brayden]

Oh thank goodness. "HTBAH" is cute and I don't think it's aged poorly or anything, but it's a tad too generic for me and the bridge sucks.

I hope "Primadonna" takes this. "Bubblegum Bitch" is great too but I'm not really here for it winning. It can thank TikTok if it does.

My Thoughts: I am surprised this won but this is really cool ad unexpected. Anyways this song is basically the intro theme for Electra Heart and it really sets the record off so damn well. Its an absolute banger and its a deserving winner. 



Which means our runner-up is...

#2
Primadonna

My Thoughts: The song that literally is the theme song for Electra Heart herself , its still an absolute pop banger on its own but then it being a whole big satire and act makes it infinitely better. I am genuinely shocked this is not our winner though, granted it was insanely close.

Thank you to everyone who participated and followed along, I hope the results turned out somewhat to your liking and I hope to see you all in my future rds. I'll be hosting a FROOT rd for sure sometime in the near future but for now if you interesting check out either of my current rankdowns Caroline Polachek - Pang RD or Gaming Bops Vol.2 RD . Have a great day everyone!

[joshtheking]

Not really surprised by this win or this top 3 in general, clearly all 3 are fan favs and rightfully so! Looking forward to the Froot RD :)

*checks notes*

You put the lead single as #1 for almost every Kylie album in that series. How...square


(Although I forgive you for putting the amazing "I Don't Need Anyone" as #1 for Impossible Princess )

[fearlessarrow]

I'm sorry but I thought "Radioactive" was kind of generic sounding for Marina and I wanted a little bit more oomph to the song, still bops though - this album was very good overall and tough to rank.

The top 3 are iconic and deserved their places. I'm also happy that some of my favorite album tracks made it pretty high too.

Thanks for hosting HamedM1 💔!

[wrip]

Oh my god I was not expecting Bubblegum Bitch to win! It’s been easily one of my favorites from Marina since probably 2012 tbh. But this whole album is iconic! I would literally be fine with any winner because everything is great.

Also I’m glad that like all of the extras and such were most of the first songs out. None of them stood a chance against the rest of the album.

[.indulgecountry]

Idk Marina well enough and thought "Heartbreaker" seemed like the obvious winner from listening to the album so kinda surprised that wasn't the case.

Glad "Bubblegum" beat "Primadonna." I ranked them at 5 and 6, respectively, so it was pretty close tho.
