32. "Got 2 Let U"

Average: 7.734
High: 10 (4x) - bleuwaffle, MP2K, Disco_Blisters, zombaland
Low: 3 (2x) - jqnetto, castle13

Synopsis
"Got 2 Let U" tells the story of a boy always forgiving a girl for her mistakes just because she's pretty. The song is a simple bop with not many lyrics; similar to "Afraid Of You". It doesn't appear to have been featured on any of The Knife's albums or other releases. The Knife now has a mere three songs remaining.

Standout Lines
"It is like magic to me, making mistakes and be forgiven / Easily."

Stevie

Beats me as to how "Got 2 Let U" made it further than brilliance like "We Share Our Mother's Health" or even "Marble House", "Like A Pen", or "You Take My Breath Away". But oh well.

Or even Robyn?

Sigh, I know. Guess it's because this is primarily a pop forum. However, iam has been doing surprisingly well.

ManDown

Not 2 songs by The Knife being eliminated right after Fever Ray was kicked.

Stevie

Here's one that some may have been calling for.

31. "On And On"

Average: 7.756
High: 9.7 (1x) - dancepopCC
Low: 5.5 (1x) - lovesong

Synopsis
Serving as the first single from Agnes' third album, Dance Love Pop, "On And On" had chart success all over Europe. Agnes sings about an everlasting love that will never disappear. Agnes took a hiatus on our countdown with her last entry being "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" at number 49. She now only has "Release Me" left in the competition.

Standout Lines
"This world can be a scary place, and so much love goes to waste / One moment everything was clear, the next it all could disappear"

Drowned_World

Way too high, but at least it's finally gone...

Stevie

It's kind of shocking that it made it this far without a single ten. But it got a massive amount of 8s and the lowest score wasn't even below a 5.

Ok, we're now top 30.

Remaining songs and percentages

MP2K

Miike, The Knife and Fever Ray lost so many greatness.

I'm not sure if the remaining songs from The Knife are my favorites, so I'm not having faith in them.

Well, Heartbeats has to be a favorite. I mean, it's the best song in this rate.

It's actually interesting if you look at the top 50 vs. the top 30. Since the top 50, Miike and Fever were wiped out, losing 6 and 5 songs respectively. The Knife was also punched, losing 5 songs. Agnes only lost 2, Robyn only lost 1, iam only lost 1, and Lykke was untouched. So yeah, things were going decently but now the tables have turned and everything is relatively unbalanced.

Now that Got 2 Let U is out, all of my 9s and my 10 for The Knife are gone. This is very very upsetting. Thank God On and On is out though.

madonnas

castle13 ruining EVERYTHING!!!!

Sloth

Heartbeats better be in the top 5 or I will flip.

Eric.

I love "Marble House." I'm still amused at how well their productions fit their vocals. They don't feel like a separate element of the song. That whistle is amazing.

"On and On" is a very shiny dance/pop record, but very Eurovision-ish and rightfully "Release Me" is her highest rated song. Should go Top 20.

Not surprised at Robyn and Lykke prevailing here. Most of us already knew and loved their songs. It's iamamiwhoami that I'm very proud of.

Not Marble House, the best song on this rate, leaving

30. "Pass This On"

Average: 7.764
High: 10 (4x) - HausOfJabril, Drowned_World, Stevie, bleuwaffle
Low: 4 (1x) - castle13

Synopsis
"Pass This On" was a 2003 single from The Knife's sophomore album, Deep Cuts. The track still sounds fresh, even though it is almost a decade old. The Knife employs Mario Sunshine and carribean cruise esque synths which define the track. In the video, a drag queen lip syncs to Karin's voice in a effort to attract her brother, Olof. The track charted at number 134 in the UK, which isn't too atrocious for The Knife.

Standout Line
"Does he mention my age, love? / Or is he more in to young girls with dyed black hair?"

Stevie

I thought everything about this song, down to the video, was brilliant. Refreshing yet clever; it should've been top 10. But apparantly some people are only here for Robyn, Lykke, and iam.

The Knife only has two tracks left. Best artist in this rate.

bleuwaffle

NO. NO. NO.

Jabril

Shame.

jqnetto

"Pass This On" out before songs like "Rascal" and "Kill" is disgusting.

jqnetto

Robyn with 11 tracks still here.

Ewan Chaos

The Knife is seriously being screwed over, unfairly.
