WOW @ my favorite Amy single making it to #2!!!!!! I am STOKED!!! You Know I'm No Good is EPIC!!! I love that production..... horns galore!!!

Congrats to Florence!!!!!! Dog Days Are Over is so anthemic and just POWERFUL even MAJESTIC!!!


Great rate Bart, the write ups was very insightful and of course as always I love your pizzazz!!!

[Ace Reject]

Thanks so much all. It was great fun hosting this rate, and I hope you all enjoyed it. If memory serves me correctly, this is the most successful rate we've ever had (in terms of pages and views), so I think you did!

Thanks again to impressive instant and @michael for their terrific graphics.

And now I hand it over to supaspaz, who will wow you all with his Aaliyah/Brandy/Monica rate. I know I can't wait!

Well, that was a very unexpected conclusion, but we still ended up with a fantastic #1, so good work, ATRL.

Awesome job on this rate, Ace! I really enjoyed discovering so much great new music, and it was a blast to follow along with your reveals.

[Venus]

So glad to see Flo get an upset victory!

[@michael]

Yay for Florence She was sort of an underdog with everyone thinking Adele and Amy would dominate.

Is that true? Even more than the Britney/Beyoncé/Gaga throwdown? Amazing stuff!

[madonnas]

Oh no... I really wanna participate in rates, but I just don't care about Brandy or Monica.

[Cap10Planet]

When will the Aaliyah/Brandy/Monica showdown start?

PLEASE INCLUDE Aaliyah's soundtrack work!!!!!!!! It was her most successful era and deserves recognition.

In Celebrations, Florence's most joyous performance of the winning single:

In terms of views, yep.

Interestingly, Countdown got more number one votes than Dog Days Are Over - but DDAO's overall score was MUCH higher.

I think as people have gotten more familiar with the way that rates work, they've changed how they do their scores. I know I only gave one 10 that first time around (to "The Edge of Glory," because I thought it would be the only true classic hit from any of the albums), but if I were to do it again, I would give a bunch.

Also, there was just a cluster**** of stan warring during the Ultimate Showdown, so an 8.8 was probably an impressively high score for "Countdown" considering.

4. The Fear

Shouldn't have made it this far. It is decent, though. 7.

3. Rehab

Amazing. 10.

2. You Know I'm No Good

I am surprised it got this much recognition. 9.

1. Dogs Days Are Over

Wow! Not my favorite from Florence, but I am happy with it winning. 8.5

[ImpressiveInstant]

YEESSSSSSSS at this Top 4! Totally makes up for The 90s Rebellion Rate

You Know I'm No Good, Amy's best song, ranking higher than Rehab!

And the deserving winner actually winning this!

Those two songs got 10s from me, along with The Fear. Rehab got just a 9.

By the way, Ace, you did everything so wonderfully, congratulations for the amazing work!

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Overrated-house, sitting pretty in 2nd behind Queen Florence. You chose right with putting YKING in 2nd place instead of Rehab or Back To Black, but that top 2 should have been Flo vs Lily.

For a means of comparison, over on Popjustice, we had 21 vs Back To Black vs Rockferry. The winner was Back To Black. 2nd place Tears Dry On Their Own, 3rd place Rehab. Duffy was completely punched out the game with her highest being Distant Dreamer in 8th, and Adele got SFTTR and RITD to 4th and 5th respectively.

Also, we had Lungs vs La Roux vs Hands (Little Boots)- the final was Cosmic Love vs Rabbit Heart. The winner was Cosmic Love.

Lily hasn't come up in a Vs. rate yet, but we had a UK #1s in 2009 rate, and it ended up being The Fear vs Bad Romance in the final. The winner was Bad Romance.

How did I miss this?

I gave all 4 songs tens.
