I'm a sucker for a good sample, and I like both the sampled song and this song. I was rooting for this song to be Charli's highest non-single (because the rankers of ATRL LOVE singles), but unfortunately, the good sis is so far away (this is the first of many stupid puns I will make, be warned). The non-10 highest score and non-1 lowest score is also noteworthy, it was neither stellar nor a complete dud to any of the raters. |

I don't quite understand how this works... Is voting still open? I've heard all of Charli and Sky's albums and could rate each song accurately, can't say the same about Solange and Icona Pop (their American album at least... I love their Swedish debut album)

Eh it was okay, there are far worse tracks though.

Now I raise the question - do we keep the updates at 5 each (meaning today's update ends now) and the final 3 gets their own special update?
Or do I go up to #35 ([OCD]for the sake of a nice number[/OCD]), continue in bunches of ten with the next three updates for a special top five update?

Omanko is one of the weaker songs on the album, but I don't think it should be out just yet!

Go to #36! That way you can do an even 5/10 when you want.

Grins is one of the best songs off her album.

Wow, Charli!  So Far Away is really good!
Kristine & Omanko deserve to be top 10, but... 
Love the formatting, August. It's delicious.

Voting has concluded and the results are being posted now (which you should keep track of, seeing as two of our ladies are in your signature!) I'm sorry you didn't get the opportunity to vote but I hope you enjoy the results (and perhaps vote in whichever rate Charli's 2014 album is participating in??  )

Damn, I was not expecting Charli to get dragged like this.

"Girlfriend" is a bop, tho. Shouldn't have been that low.
Honestly, TRF.

It's all the filler on her album going away. Stay Away, Nuclear Season, You're the One, and Grins should last though!

Now that we're going up to #36, only one girl will be safe by the end of this update. And two of the next three have, as far as I can remember, not been mentioned in this thread since we have started.
I have dibs on post #161, so more predictions, please!

What's so good about them? I can't stand either tbh.

Omanko is funny and I love the sorta simplicity mixed with an almost MBV type production.
Grins just has THAT hook, you know?

The spacey production of "So Far Away" is glorious.
And "Grins" doesn't do much for me. But "Nuclear Seasons," "Take My Hand," "Stay Away," "What I Like" and "Black Roses" had better get the respect they deserve!

Omanko is just so lazily written, I can't get into it. Grins is so off putting, especially those backround vocals.
