"high road" has also grown to become one of my top favorites (as proven by my ranking). it's just a fucking amazing self-empowerment song to blast whenever you're feeling down or jaded.

down to you really should've lasted longer than red flag collector tbh. Otherwise, perfect top 5!

Losing the title track was PAINFUL. Deserved to be in the Top 5 for sure.

Not skip this part out so early. I debated hard on making it my number 1, but put it second only because my #1 was my most played. It's phenomenal and still wish it had been the lead single. Chills still during that last minute.

And my #1 is out now. I blame it all on you I did love how me and kamala 2024 truther had the same rankings for a few of these songs though. Let's grieve together bestie... "rock hudson" is a banger, honestly. Personally, I would've added some more guitars/edge on a song like this if it was mine, but I'm also loving it as it is.

...so "mine" is next, then? Was hoping for top 3 but glad it made top 5. Surprised "red flag collector" made it top 5, but not mad.

Canāt be mad that ārock hudsonā hit Top 5, but damnit it deserved Top 3, and frankly I think itās such a perfect empowering summary of where sheās at now that it wouldāve been a fitting winner here. āBy the way, piece by piece, I found out my heroās meā will never not hit me.

In another world where they promo'd "mine" to hell and back and one small thing happened to help it take off, I think it's a moment for her. That chorus is so special and different and anthemic in its own way. Brilliant song.

The last single is out, which means that our magnificent top 3 really fought their way to the top! I love me some plot twists! Like Adele once said, the tables be turning... or something like that. #03

These results seem about right and are what I expected tbh. red flag collector and high road are perhaps a little bit higher than I would've liked but not to the point where I'm shocked or disappointed.

Incredible Top 2. If ārock hudsonā couldnāt take it Iām so glad āmagicā did. One of the most beautiful songs Iāve ever heard, from the vocals to the production. ālighthouseā is also incredibly writtenāsome of the best writing of Kellyās career. In another world, that won SOTY at the Grammys. Thanks for hosting bestie born š

I stand by my rankings but "magic" is definitely a good song and deserved single (and music video) treatment. Thanks for hosting born.

It'll be interesting to look back on these results in, say, 5 years or so (maybe when we're redoing the rankdown?) and see how opinions change. For me, red flag collector and lighthouse have both aged considerably and I foresee them continuing to do so. Meanwhile, magic wasn't even initially in my top 5 and now is easily my number 2 and could very well overtake mine as my number 1 by then.
Will the other Kelly albums get a rankdown redo at some point? It seems like it's been so long since we've done a Kelly rankdown. Or perhaps we do her Greatest Hits, or duets, or something?

I'll hafta relisten to "Magic" because yikes I never expected that to be a winning contender based on my few listens to the record. My #13 rank wasn't indicative of me disliking it by any means, but it was far from a standout imo.
Justice for "Rock" and "Flag" </3

*Cries in MAGIIIIIIIIIIC* That song has gone on to become my favorite Kelly song in her discography, which says a lot, because she has sooo many gems. I am shocked that it made it to #1, but I am so glad it did! Also, YAY for Lighthouse being #2. I went from landing no perfect rankings until nailing the top 2! I definitely disagree with the placement of some of my faves like Favorite Kind of High (it makes me wanna cry and dance at the same time and I love songs like that. I hear the desperation in Kelly's voice; the same one I heard in Dance With Me's chorus.) and Me, which is one of her best vocals on record. Mine should have been Top 3, but whatever. This was fun! Thanks for including me!
