Top 5: Cuff It (first), America Has a Problem, Alien Superstar, Virgo's Groove, Pure/Honey
Bottom 5: I'm That Girl (last), Thique, Energy, Heated, Church Girl
Most Divisive: Church Girl
Least Divisive: Cuff It
Cozy will probably stall at #11-#6, unfortunately.

1. I’m kinda thinking Cuff It might win? I’d love for Virgo’s Groove to win but knowing how album rankdowns go, it’s usually the hits that win lol. I think top 5 will be Alien Superstar, Break My Soul, Cuff It, Virgo’s Groove, with maybe Summer Renaissance in the 5th spot? Oh wait there’s also America Has A Problem, maybe that is here! 2. There isn’t a song on the album that gives “last place” vibes to me. But bottom 5 might have like Energy, Move, um… idk what else lol 3. I could almost see something like Pure/Honey being highest? Break My Soul could also have a high sd depending on how many tanks it gets 4. I’m guessing Cuff It is higher 5. I’ll say top 3 probably 6. If Virgo’s Groove ends up missing top 2, then that’ll cause arguments methinks 7. AMERICA

This album is honestly exceptional. Just about every song is interchangeable for me, and it pained me to put certain songs where I did. I hope my #1 makes it far though!

1. Which song do you think will take the crown? What other songs could end up in the top 5? either cuff it or virgo’s groove 2. Which song do you see finishing in last place? What else could land in the bottom 5? idk honestly, probably one of the ones later in the album 3. Which songs do you think will have higher/lower SDs? (most/least divisive) break my soul will have a high sd i feel like 4. Which single will finish higher, "BREAK MY SOUL" or "CUFF IT"? cuff it 5. How far do you think your #1 will go? hopefully high 6. Which song's reveal will result in the most arguments? probably all of them 7. What's the problem Bey's referring to in "AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM"? lol do i even want to know

Which song do you think will take the crown? What other songs could end up in the top 5? break my soul, cuff it, virgo's groove, america has a problem(?), i'm not sure what else tbh lol 2. Which song do you see finishing in last place? What else could land in the bottom 5? i genuinely don't know lmao 3. Which songs do you think will have higher/lower SDs? (most/least divisive) most: if virgo's groove isn't top 5 like i predict maybe that as highest sd lowest: whatever wins/loses 4. Which single will finish higher, "BREAK MY SOUL" or "CUFF IT"? kinda close here but yeah lol 5. How far do you think your #1 will go? pretty damn far
6. Which song's reveal will result in the most arguments? see highest sd prediction
7. What's the problem Bey's referring to in "AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM"? it's too low ig idk

Top 5: 1. Virgo's Groove 2. Cuff It 3. Summer Renaissance 4. I'm That Girl 5. America Has A Problem
Bottom 5: 12. Church Girl 13. Break My Soul 14. Thique 15. Energy 16. Heated
Highest SD: Break My Soul Lowest SD: Virgo's Groove
Cuff It will be the single to finish higher
My #1 will go all the way to #1!
"America Has A Problem" will have the most arguments most likely
In "America Has A Problem", Beyoncé is obviously referring to her ass, even though I thought she'd talk about real issues like gun control, abortion, lgbtq rights, etc.

The song that will take the crown will probably be a Beyoncé song that has already won a Madness game, and all the other songs in the top 5 will be Beyoncé songs that were released as singles or have been featured in Madness games.
The song finishing in last place will surely be a Beyoncé song that hasn't won a rankdown, and the other bottom 5 will be Beyoncé songs that some may consider to be annoying or filler tracks.
I'm not sure which songs will have higher/lower SDs, aside from them being Beyoncé songs.
Between the two singles, "BREAK MY SOUL" and "CUFF IT", I think the latter is the stronger and more well-liked song.
My #1 should go allllllll the way, if not then top 3.
I cannot tell which song's reveal will result in the most arguments, but it must be a song from RENAISSANCE.
And what's the problem Bey's referring to in "AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM"? The answer can be found by looking up the song it samples, cocaine!

Cuff It will probably win, with Virgo’s Groove, Summer Renaissance, Alien Superstar and America Has A Problem being the rest in the top 5 2. Which song do you see finishing in last place? What else could land in the bottom 5? Last will be something like Move or Energy, and I can see maybe All Up In Your Mind, Plastic Off The Sofa and I’m That Girl rounding out the bottom 5 3. Which songs do you think will have higher/lower SDs? (most/least divisive) I think maybe songs like Heated and Break My Soul will have high SDs and maybe songs like Cuff It and Virgo’s Groove having lower SDs 4. Which single will finish higher, "BREAK MY SOUL" or "CUFF IT"? Cuff It for sure 5. How far do you think your #1 will go? I’m not sure tbh, probably somewhere around the middle 6. Which song's reveal will result in the most arguments? 7. What's the problem Bey's referring to in "AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM"? Pulse Music Board user Walt91

I have no idea what's going first. I just know some people will drag me for my #16.

#16
The first song out could never get anything going here, being one of two songs to spend every list in the bottom 4. Despite that, it only lost to #15 by one point.
Highest rank: 4 Perfect rankings: 11 Lowest rank: 16 (x11)

OMG! I didn't expect "Energy" to go far, but did not expect it in the bottom. It has grown on me in recent months and if she had stuck with that 80s synth vibe from the first verse and made it a complete song, I think it would've been one of the standouts from the record.

#15
Next up we have a light robbery imo, though until a few months ago this would've been my #16. It's got one of the lowest SDs (though not as low as the two songs ahead of it) despite having a higher top rank than ENERGY.

“ENERGY” was among my favorites on first listen and it hasn’t aged yet.

That's a big surprise honestly! You rarely see the opener finish that low.

I'm not surprised. I love all 16 songs, so each reveal is difficult to watch, but I knew this one wasn't loved on this board (and I could only rank it at #14 myself when stacked against everything else).

Here's the other song to never escape the bottom 4; it has a better highest rank than either of the bottom 2, but that's its only rank in the entire top 5.
Highest rank: 2 Perfect rankings: 6 Lowest rank: 16 (x4)

While I didn’t rank ENERGY last, it did stand out as a track that felt too short compared to other tracks on the album.

Yeah, that sounds about right to me. "I'm That Girl" is more of an intro than a song. And "Energy" works more as an interlude to segue "Cuff It" into "Break My Soul." Both work great in context of the album, but they just don't stand on their own as songs.

ITG is a good opener but, compared to the rest of the body of work, it's a weak song.
