It’s been one year since Carly Rae Jepsen changed the world ATRL forever. Though it landed with a commercial thud last August, her third studio album, Emotion, was an instant critical smash, ultimately finishing third on the 2015 Pazz & Jop poll and becoming something of a new musical bible for fomo pop lovers everywhere. On this site, it was an unrivaled sensation, winning four ATRL Grammys, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year, and taking the top spot on the annual ATRL Top 50 list with its second single, “Run Away With Me.” (Sadly, a few anti-Jepsenites have yet to let the gospel into their hearts.)

But one controversy remains: What is the best song on Emotion? With 17 on the deluxe edition, and not a clunker among them, it’s a tougher call than the 2016 GOP primary field. (Among a group of ATRL friends that I regularly text with, the topic seems to come up about once a month.) So let’s settle it once and for all, with a definitive ranking of the track list that will determine whether “Boy Problems” slays “Warm Blood” and if you really, really, really, really, really, really like “I Didn’t Just Come Here to Dance.”

To participate, please complete this quick song sorter and PM me your results by this Sunday, Aug. 14. Those lists will be compiled to determine a universal ranking, which will be unveiled in time for the first anniversary of the album’s worldwide release on Aug. 21. Feel free to use this thread to advocate for your track of choice or to share your memories of this first year A.E. (After Emotion). Seventeen lucky guest writers will also be chosen to explain why their favorite song is the true highlight of the album, so let me know if you are interested.

Love Again and Never Get To Hold You have to be included

Sorry. This is the definitive Emotion ranking, not the definitive Emotion Remixed + ranking.

This is the kind of content I want to see

Why is boy problems so low on that list for yal? Top 5 on mines tbh
What a BOP

Won't post my full list since that defeats the purpose of the reveal later if tons of people do

so I'll just say that God's Work was done today and Warm Piss has at least one 17th place finish

I'll do this in the next 24 hours (hopefully) but my 2c --> never got the love for this album

I am to please!

Time to sabotage Run Away With Me

this is honestly so difficult wtf everything is gold except black heart

Feel free to post your list here if you want to, though. I'm hoping I will receive enough that it doesn't spoil anything. (I already have eight!) So tell your friends about the coolest new thread on ATRL.
