I think It Was Always You is overrated.  Alone With Me is just okay for me. Not really a standout but not a bad track either. 
I love New Bitch, I would never get sick of that song.  Aw, All of the Stars.  It reminds me a lot of the movie. 
Leave Your Lover is my seconds fave song from In The Lonely Hour  Afire Love could be the best song in his album.  Wait, maybe second after Thinking Out Loud. I agree about your write-up about Unkiss Me. Yes, Human is on the same level with Sirens.  The chorus of Money, Power, Glory is everything.

RIGHT  Bet

A spiritual baptism 
Whatever takes you to church though
It Was Always You is the redeeming non-Gwen featuring non-bonus track of V!
I don't know what a Sexotheque is, but it just sounds so peachy. It's a wonderful song.
You Don't Care About Me and Cold Sweat! Your taste homieground! It's impeccable!
Serious question though: why the love for Money Power Glory? It's the one track off Ultra I could never get into. Maybe it's because I have neither of those things?

   is basically Ariana's Dirrty but with even dirtier lyrics ("I can take it whole"). And it's so me tbh, all sweet and innocent on the outside, yet secretly such a ho. Whoops, another song that unleashes the wh*re in me. I don't get the hate towards "Sexercize", such a sexy song that really makes me wanna hump an exercise ball.
"One Last Time" is such a classic contemporary pop ballad, deserves to be the next single. "Bloodstream" is sonically one of the more interesting Ed songs, especially that outro. It really mirrors that drugged up messed up feeling in a very subtle way. "The Crying Game" is perfect. Such a sad song and both Nicki's and Jessie's vocals are really tender and emotional.
"Bind Your Love" was the first song other than Sirens and I Wish that I heard from the album, which got me really pumped for it cuz it's such a perfect pop bop that's not cheesy like Cher's usual cheeky songs. "Portal" is such an amazing album opener. It's slow and understated, but it really takes your mind to a whole new place.
No need to talk about "Style", it's just perfect. It better go to #1! "Running With the Boys" is a smash. When you think the chorus hits, you're wrong. I love it when that happens, a pre-chorus that's so high it basically sounds like the chorus. But then yet another climax hits and you're just left dead. Sorry Bloomers, "Out of the Woods" just missed the top 10. Can't have too many Taylor songs in the top 10.
Clues for the top 10! - Two slower Taylor songs.
- A certain artist here appears twice too, one as the main artist and one as the feature. In fact, one of these is a top 3 song.
- The feature song's main artist appears in this set too.
- A really sad song about a death.
- A song from the artist who had my #1 song of 2015.
- I had this song as my Now Playing before.
- Polaroid.
- I Always Forget.
- An African-American political activist, who got referenced in many songs before.

I didn't realize I missed so much 
wait a second, Clean is your #1 from 1989?  I love Clean too The lyrics are incredible
actually, I agree with your Top 5 tracks from 1989  except I kinda wish I Know Places was there 
Nicki Minaj at #69 and Tove Lo at #66  Glad to see Lily, Tinashe, Charli, and Sam there too
Walk the Line and Feels Like Vegas in your Top 50, both are flawless tracks! 
The Cher Lloyd tracks Alone With Me, Human, and Bind Your Love are immaculate
Lea Michele and Shakira in your Top 30  It Was Always You, New Bitch, and Just Askin' too
One Last Time in the Top 20 I'm so happy this is Ariana's next single

You can though The holyground's turned out to be just trees
Your write-ups for Sexercise and Hands On Me though
I didn't see your clues when I was here earlier. I'm gonna guess your Taylro songs are "Clean" and "Wildest Dreams"
The artist that appears twice is Ariana, maybe on Get On Your Knees and Why Try or something like that (hoping for Only 1)
The political activist refers to looking ass?

Hello? Hello? C-can you hear me? "Why Try", just like One Last Time, is the perfect contemporary ballad. It would be nice as a single, if it's not mid-tempo overkill after One Last Time. Nothing else I could say about "If You Say So", just devastating.
"Work Song" is probably the only option as a follow-up hit after Take Me to Church. It's sufficiently different and catchy enough, even though it's quite a broody tune. The best part of "Huey Newton" isn't the sudden switch in the middle of the song, but is that distorted guitars/synths before it. It just puts me in a trance.
 | 5
I Never Learn
Lykke Li
The opener of the album. Such a cathartic song. Splendid guitar opening, and the best part is that outro which I wish could go on for hours and hours. |  | 4
Meltdown (feat. Lorde, Pusha T, Q-Tip & HAIM)
Stromae
So, apparently this song was a previous Stromae track and Lorde simply slapped some vocals on it. But the product is amazing. It's intense and gets me going when the beat first kicks in. Lorde is like the ringleader here. The only thing I could fault is that I wished HAIM did more. |  | 3
Photograph
Ed Sheeran
This song is such a slow burner. The song slowly builds in this epic yet hushed final chorus. The atmospheric and spacey production wraps you in a cocoon as Ed croons smoothly. It's simply perfect. |  | 2
Clean
Taylor Swift
Taylor + Imogen MORE PLEASE |  | 1
Get On Your Knees (feat. Ariana Grande)
Nicki Minaj
Ariana getting nasty again! Disregarding the fact that it mirrors Dark Horse/Black Widow a tiny bit, this is the jam. I read this in some other Best Of I can't remember, but I legit want to have sex to this song. It's just ugh, makes me wanna beg for it beg for it. Iggy could neva! |

Clean is GODLY. Such an amazing album closer, so happy to see it as your favourite (though I wish it was #1 ) and YES at Wildest Dreams making your top ten.
I Never Learn, Photograph, Huey Newton and Meltdown are great too!

I'm guessing this isn't supposed to be the description for every song in the top five  or is it?
Wildest Dreams and If You Say So in your top ten, both are immaculate
The top three with Photograph, Clean, and Get On Your Knees is flawless!
