Lemme hate you a tad, Ace, for having already done the Kylie Singles rate when I still wasn't taking part in these.

Is that your revenge coming from the past for how I treated Honeyz in your last rate?

Gavin.

I call dips on the first rate allowed

Starkboy

I want to do a rate.

I'll send them later.

I've actually gotten about 10-15 people claiming they're gonna partake in the rate.

Slay.

Keyword "claiming".

You need an aggressive promotion campaign like the one I did for the Paramore Rate otherwise this people claiming to participate won't send their rates.

Speaking about aggressive I need your rates.

But seriously, I sent rates in for about a dozen rates ahead of mine just to help them out so I expect the favour in return.

Ok, being my oh-so resourceful self I might as well try again

I'm thinking: Pop's Greatest Experiments: The Björk vs MIA Singles Rate

-Both are experimental but their rooting can often be found in pop.
-Both are from rather small corners of the world (Iceland and Sri Lanka).
-Both have high quality discographies/singles.
-Both are electronic artists.
-Both can be rather outspoken.
-Both are surprisingly similar - MAYA and Volta in particular go quite nicely together.

Failing that, would I be able to do a Sleigh Bells discography rate?

Failing this, would I be able to do a Björk discography rate?

Failing that, would I be able to do a Yeah Yeah Yeahs discography rate?

I must be able to do at least one of them, if not then there must be a conspiracy

Keep asking me about my rates and I'll give you something that you won't like.

As a question how long does it usually take to get approval? I've never done this before

Only a few months.

When Ace gets back from his vacation. Idk how long it'll take for you to be able to get started though. If it's the MIA vs Bjork one it shouldn't take very long.

Right

GabeGabe, I was under the impression that you were doing a rate of Christina/Jennifer/Nelly their Spanish language albums, plus one of Shakira's.

You can't use two of the albums in the graphic you made.

You've got a LOT of ideas. Appreciate the energy, but we need to UNPACK them.

Ace, What's the word on my "New Girls of Country" rare?

Also I kinda want to do a "Country Songs nominated for Song of the Year" at the Grammys. Wouldn't be all them but it'd have to be since a certain year.. Since 2000 there's 12, and I think it'd be interesting.

Shania Twain - You've Got A Way
Faith Hill - Breathe
Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance
Alan Jackson - Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)
Tim McGaw - Live Like You Were Dying
Rascall Flatts - Bless the Broken Road
Carrie Underwood - Jesus, Take the Wheel
Dixie Chicks - Not Ready to Make Nice
Carrie Underwood - Before He Cheats
Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me
Lady Antebellum - Need You Now
Miranda Lambert - The House That Built Me

Twelve songs does not a rate make, unfortunately.

Oh, I thought that had album tracks too cause I saw International Smile in the title the other day.

KYC, as you see, there is currently a Katy Essentials rate taking place. What you're suggesting would be Katy OVERKILL ...
...

...

... but I do remember suggesting you hosting the Essentials rate first, and you turning me down. Superiore, Essentials rates DO have album tracks in them - they are essentially every track an artist has recorded EXCEPT for the singles. Apparently this wasn't what KYC wanted, and no he'll have to wait for a while.
