I actually wanted someone (genetic fail) to host a rate for the single artists of our time. It would be a three series rate:

- Tier I - Pitbull, Jason DeRulo, Flo-Rida
- Tier II - Taio Cruz, Jay Sean, Mike Posner, etc
- Tier III - Keri Hilson, Nicole Scherzinger, etc

Want to take part one?

I just wanted to do Pitbull and his singles so it would just depend upon when would it be? and then I can tell you for sure

By the way, how has no one ever done a rate about empowerment singles? Call it It's Okay Not to Be OK or something. Off the top of my head, singles I can think of are:

empowerment singles

- The Staple Singers - Respect Yourself
- Diana Ross - I'm Coming Out
- Aretha Franklin - RESPECT
- Carole King - Beautiful
- Helen Reddy - I Am Woman (Hear Me Roar)
- Madonna - Express Yourself
- Donna Summer - She Works Hard for the Money
- Janet Jackson - Control
- Salt n Pepa - Expression
- Chaka Khan - I'm Every Woman
- Whitney Houston - It's Not Right, But It's OK
- Britney Spears - Stronger
- Christina Aguilera - Beautiful/Fighter/Can't Hold Us Down
- Jessie J - Who You Are
- Pink - ****in' Perfect
- Kelly Clarkson - People Like Us
- Kacey Musgraves - Follow Your Arrow
- Katy Perry - Firework
- Lady Gaga - Born This Way
- Beyoncé - Pretty Hurts
- Demi Lovato - Skyscraper
- Selena Gomez - Who Says
- Kesha - We R Who We R

I was considering something like this but was going for "gay anthems" (which is most of this list lel)

Sounds like fun, I'm interested! How long do you think it will be until my J-Pop rate can start

Wow, can't wait for this!

I think the rate I suggested would be better. Looking at his wiki profile, he has eighty singles. Taking out the features, that would be thirty one. NOBODY is here for a 31-single Pitbull rate. Saying no to that idea.

Is 31 too many?
I was thinking more like only his Top 40 Singles (19 including features) or his singles starting 2009 when he got big?
I am here for the rate so you saying nobody is here for it is false.

Well, the rule is 20 official singles - and features are not included in any singles rate unless they absolutely have to be. None of Nicki's features were in her singles rate - only her solo material.

Regina - in no way shape or form is Fearless an empowerment song. Mean, yes. Fearless - absolutely not.

Well he has 21 TOP 100 Singles not including features AND 3 Top 10 features I'd like to include if possible

I'll put you in the queue, but you see how long that queue is.

Also, you're NOT adding features. Again, refer to the Nicki Minaj singles rate - do you see Monster there? No, just her singles. If Pitbull doesn't have enough notable singles without his features ...

BTW, you do know that Paramore has over twenty singles at this point, right? How are you not campaigning for that rate?

That's okay, I plan on doing other rates first like the Spanish one

I know, it didn't hurt to ask

You do know that they actually don't, unless you add Hayley's features. Because CountryBrit just did their Disco Rate and I just used PARAMORE (album) in a Rate and my plans for Paramore are to use their debut album in a rate so I don't need more Paramore.

But they don't, at least not on their own

3 + 4 + 5 + 3/4 = 15/16

Add on Decode and Monster which I wouldn't in my opinion and that's 17/18.

Besides, there's too much of good thing and I don't want to grow sick of them. Paramore their Overexposed era

Has there ever been a rate about LGBTQ+ Musicians? It could include some great artists that are often not acknowledged by our ATRL crowd. Some names off the top of my head:

LGBTQ+... A History in Music

- Pet Shop Boys
- Indigo Girls
- Me'Shell Ndegéocello
- George Michael
- Rufus Wainwright
- Dana International
- Melissa Etheridge
- Morrissey
- Boy George
- RuPaul
- Tracy Chapman
- Sylvester (may he R.I.P.)
- Elton John
- Tegan and Sara
- Frank Ocean
- k.d. lang
- David Bowie
- Adam Lambert
- Ani DiFranco
- Ricky Martin

and many more...

Also, may I claim the artist rates for Tori Amos and George Michael (and be added to the queue)?

kthxbi!!!1

Well, the Greg Kurstin rate is on now, so you can start when that ends.

Word to the wise: You may want to adjust your ratio. Way too many Natalia Kills songs.

Should I include singles only from her album? That would narrow the number down to three tracks which is much better.

I want someone to do a rate of 90s dance smashes. The top fifty most important ones. Off the top of my head:

DANCEFOOLS

- In a Dream
- Short Dick Man
- Freed From Desire
- Free
- Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)
- Do You Miss Me?
- When I'm Gone
- Ebenezer Goode
- Something Good
- Saturday Night
- Another Night
- Beautiful Life
- What is Love?
- Rhythm of the Night
- Rhythm is a Dancer
- This is Your Night
- Sexual (Ooh La La)

Plus so many more! C+C Music Factory, Black Box, etc.

Since this is about a certain type (trashy) of dance music, probably wouldn't make much sense to have the likes of Prodigy/Fatboy Slim/Chemical Brothers/Daft Punk show up.

[Αnt]

90's dance music is EVERYTHING!

Ace, give me some rate to host... something relevant...
