I was like 'I don't get this picture' before clicking to see the full version and oh okay ddd

Yay at Shygirl charting with this tune, especially given her previous single flopped here.

Never in my life did I think I would hear a song where Beyonce sings "get your money money, cunty hunty"

I see my ballot has arrived and it is screaming GAY RIGHTS! Special shout out to Omar Apollo for adding more perfection to Ivory with the deluxe and for possibly bagging Frank Ocean #dreamcouple

 

I'm sorry what

I'm waiting until the album is released to give these songs more attention because Rina isn't someone that I generally go to to listen to a one off track -- I like to get into a whole Rina mood. I'm expecting to like these songs a bit more in the context of the album.

I can't believe I forgot to vote for this when it's one of my favorite songs of the year. Shame on me.

K-Pop takes a bitsy of a hit this month with our highest charting K-track only reaching top 13. Still, at least the choice is correct, as it's Chung Ha's magnificent return "Sparkling." Seriously, this shit is laced with crack, it's so good.

It feels so good to have Ciara back and absolutely killing it. I can't wait for her next album. (Do we know if we are getting one soon?)

Dang, I really thought Ciara had a chance at top five. Happy to see her and RAYE pretty high up anyway.

 

Not even top 10 for CiCi???

 

And the last song to miss the Top 10....

Okay but when Summer Renaissance ends and I'm That Girl starts again my first thought is "ALRIGHT LETS GO AGAIN."

And before we crack the 10 ... let's do a little Recapaissance:


So far 7 tracks from Renaissance have charted:
SUMMER RENAISSANCE
PURE/HONEY
THIQUE
Break My Soul
COZY
CHURCH GIRL
ALL UP IN YOUR MIND

Of the remaining tracks:
I'm That Girl
Alien Superstar
Cuff It
Energy
Plastic Off The Sofa
Virgo's Groove
Move
Heated
America Has A Problem

- Several charted in our top 10 (but how high?)
- Several received votes but not enough to chart (or bubble under)
- Several didn't receive a single vote

Any guesses?
​

 

I'd guess Virgo's Groove or Cuff It have the best shot? I voted for them and thought it seemed like other's were going to as well?

I swear if our split votes mean none make top 5 then MOVE because I'm HEATED and AMERICA PJ HAS A PROBLEM!

 

Will fail to make it I guess

 

Top 10
Alíen Superstar
Cuff It
Virgo’s Groove
Heated

Bubblimg Umder
America has a Problem
Move
Energy

No Votes
Im That Girl
Plastic Off The Sofa

 

I'm assuming Jessie, Ellie, Tove Lo and Rina's other song must have made the top 10, so that's six Beyoncé songs at most. Maybe Rosalia and Sabrina Carpenter too?

 

You ain't ready, cause clearly there is something missing from that list, that is bound 2 Be Loved I expect.

 

Being a tad pessimistic maybe, but it's just not realistic.gif
I forgot Catch Me In The Air also came out in July dddd.
EDIT: Wait no it didn't ddd.
