Slow Down is amazing and you all will deal with it 
I still can't get over Stars Dance and Save The Day, the two biggest singles material. Has the final version of Forget Forever leaked?

Slow Down is a good single choice, guys. Probably you have overplayed the song. I'm still jamming tho. 
The others single choice are Save The Day and Undercover imo.

My track-by-track review  (just including the standard edition tracks)
Review:
1. Birthday: It’s a fun song and nice opener for the album, but her voice was drowned in the production. The lyrics are catchy and the sound is kind of infecting but compared to the other songs this is really basic. The “Blow your dreams away with me” line is the best line of the entire song. 7.5/10
2. Slow Down: The song does sound kind of dated, but it’s insanely catchy and her vocals are better than ever. The bridge, which in my opinion is always consistent in every single released by her, it’s really outstanding. The chorus it’s my favorite part of the song, by far, and the “How do I do it? It’s The Cataracs!” at the end was really cute. 9.5/10
3. Stars Dance: Definitely the stand-out track of the album; she wasn’t wrong by naming the record after this song. The intro and the outro are really haunting and magical; the lyrics are relatable and kind of simple but her sweet voice over the dark production makes them sound so powerful and pixie-like. The lyrics in the chorus are top notch. I agree with many, that this would’ve also been perfect for Ellie Goulding, but her tone it’s so thin it wouldn’t had sound as strong and magical as Selena’s, though Goulding’s the better vocalist. This should and will become a single, preferably the last because it’s not as radio-friendly as the other songs, but it’s too good to remain in the dark. In my opinion, her best track of all time. 10/10
4. Like a Champion: The Caribbean influence –Caribbean as in Rihanna- it’s really notorious in this song, and nobody can deny that. The song it’s catchy though and her Jamaican accent it’s cute and actually understandable. The little adlibs she does in the last chorus are really good and show the vast improvement in her vocal skills. I really do not see this song as a single, but it’s a good album track and I can see it being blasted on a beach or pool party. 8.0/10
5. Come & Get It: One of the few first singles that are actually stand out tracks too. Come & Get It was the catchiest and most original pop song of the year so far; it’s really hard to resist the “nanana’s” in your head and to dance to it. Selena’s vocals sound stronger than ever and it’s a really big step up into the “adult world”. Yet, she delivers in such a classy way that her contemporaries are put to shame. The best part it’s the bridge by far, but every bit of the song it’s outstanding so it’s ok. 10/10
6. Forget Forever: I am really trying to understand the entire backlash this song has been getting, but I really can’t. This song it’s amazing! Generic? Sure, but how many songs of this century can’t be considered generic? It’s a heartbreak song, yet it’s really catchy and you can dance to it, so it doesn’t feel like it would belong in an album like “21”. It wouldn’t work as a single in my opinion, but it’s a great album track and I can tell this is really personal to her. 9.0/10
7. Save The Day: This is probably the song with the biggest potential to become a hit, even more than “current single” Slow Down. The production is great, love the drums in the chorus and her vocals doesn’t sound drowned in the melody. It should’ve become the second single to follow the “tribal ways” of Come & Get It and make another amazing choreography, but I’m sure it will happen; it’s too big of a hit to let go. It doesn’t sound like anything on the radio right now –or on the album whatsoever- so this is a big yes to this song! 10/10
8. B.E.A.T.: The song does have a similarity with Dev’s work, except Selena’s voice sounds sweeter and more listenable. I like the little sing-talk she included on the chorus and bridge. The song it’s catchy but really short for my taste and doesn’t do anything to me. I love how her voice sounds in the chorus though, and the bridge is everything. 8/10
9. Write Your Name: This song reminds me of “Wide Awake” somehow. It’s magical and her vocals are soft and sweet. The verses are the best part of the entire song and the chorus it’s extremely amazing. Selena’s getting really comfortable in the singing-talking area, and she does it really well! 9.5/10
10. Undercover: After “Save the Day”, this is the biggest hit of the album and it should definitely become a single. The lyrics are mature enough to thrive in the Pop world but “clean” enough to keep her teenage fans. The lyrics are insanely catchy and the instrumental makes you dance instantly. Not much to say, just another point for Ms. Gomez! 10/10
11. Love Will Remember: Another song that’s been getting a lot of negative feedback, and I honestly feel it’s one of the stand-out tracks of the album. It’s great record-closer, the lyrics are really descriptive and she sings them with certain emotion. Who ever said to sing a ballad you need a big voice was wrong, you just need to feel what you’re singing, and that’s exactly what Selena’s doing. Though it’s not a full ballad, it’s filled with emotion and sadness. I would’ve preferred the voice mail at the beginning for the album version, as controversial as it is, it would’ve add up to the song perfectly. One of Selena’s best slower songs and great way to end the album. One of her best bridges too! 9.5/10
Overall, it’s Selena’s best record so far and it would be a crime if she stops recording music after this. Lyric-wise it’s really cohesive and though you can tell she was influenced by a lot of major artists (Rihanna, Ke$ha, Britney, etc.) and she is still trying to figure out her sound, she’s on the right direction. I think her and Demi’s case will be the old Aguilera-Spears case. Demi, like Christina, has the better voice and arguably is the better artist, but Selena, just like Spears, makes the better music and as long as she keeps recording I think she’ll be the successful one.
THE Stand Out Track: Stars Dance.
Stand Out Tracks: Save The Day, Undercover, Come & Get It and Love Will Remember (In that order)
Slow Down it’s really good but after listening to the whole thing, it should’ve never become the second single. But, I hope she gets to release at least two more singles so Save The Day, Undercover or Stars Dance can see the light of day.
