I overlooked it. Just like Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill! I know mess, so there might be even more missing ddd. @berserkboi we are at 25 now!

A blatantly obvious winner (I'm shocked that it was actually behind Stupid Little Things at any point when it is by far the better song). Thank you for an amazing rate, @Sprockrooster!

Also, poor I'm Outta Love missing out on the top spot, but I'm thrilled to see it improving on its previous placing. She really did that with her debut single.

What an amazing winner! A shame she cannot compete in the Winners Rate, though with 23 songs now having won Multiple Times - once we get to 30 or 40 of those, there's no reason why they cannot be in a rate themselves!
I'm totally up for this idea. If the top two ends up being Run Away With Me vs. Into You again, though...
 
Also now we can reveal the self titled had one of the highest album ratings I can find on the site!
Almost! Tonight!

I'm totally up for this idea. If the top two ends up being Run Away With Me vs. Into You again, though...
I need any song to beat Frozen. And I know in the ultimate decade countdown Dancing On My Own lost to Run Away With Me, but the latter was basically a solo song whereas Robyn spread votes more. I would love to see that battle of both DOMO and RAWM when it is just those two. Also, imagine the promo @aux would do ddd.

So @Hudweiser's scores were not added to the official leaderboard (cause there were too few), but I now made the leaderboard with his scores. Let's find out what shake ups we find; first below his scores:

The most notable changes have to be Pieces of a Dream making top 10 at the cost of You'll Never Be Alone and Time surpassing Heavy On My Heart and beating a single from self-titled. Maybe Today gets quite the punch and poor I Belong To You drops out of the top 50 for random track Nobody Loves Me Better.

Not That Kind.png

Though The Not That Kind era suffered quite some bit in the beginning none of the actual albumtracks were involved. B-side (and bonustrack) Late Last Night was the only to escape that, but it does make it look lovely to see the album was not in contention for losing a track from the actual album before the top 100. It still pains me to see the slow decline from Cowboys & Kisses - which was one of our former #1's (because it got an 11 and only 10's among our first three voters) alongside You'll Never Be Alone (same reason as Cowboys & Kisses), Stupid Little Things which surprisingly took the reign afterwards due to all the 11's being among the first batches of voters and only 10's until we reach the midway of voters. And our final winner which for some reason I'm Outta Love was creeping closer and closer too. But always far away.

Anastacia.png

Over 1/3rd of the voters gave the self-titled an average over a 9,0. So after sweeping the victory with it's lead single the parent album also destroys the competition. Looking at the Popjustice Rate Albums Vault and other averages this 8,7 ranks out at #1 alongside Caution. WHEW! The TALENT. And to think it could have been more with that sore thump that is Sexy Single basically isolated from the rest. Without that song the average is 8,9. If we replace the album with Underground Army like would have happened in the US before it got cancelled the average would have been 8,8. She did that.
 
So, time to finish this rate. My final rate (but I will be volunteering as back-up host) coming to an end. And it could not have been the most full circle ending. But before I say my thankyou and goodbye I have some clickworthy stuff (and me trying to get some final likes):

On the first page all stats are findable including the writeups during the voting period hyperlinked to the posts:
Also remember when I was mentioning some tracks are (regionally) blocked from spotify and I put them in little EP's. Well here they all are hyperlinked to the posts:
Then we have something new actually. The album average order with hyperlinks to it's stat posts:
#7 [6,5] = It's A Man's World
#6 [7,6] = Evolution
#5 [7,7] = Heavy Rotation
#4 [7,7] = Resurrection
#3 [7,8] = Not That Kind
#2 [8,0] = Freak Of Nature
#1 [8,7] = Anastacia

When most albums are in that almost 8,0 average to stick out. It's A Man's World is clearly the weakest link. Good fucking bye. But self-titled is leaps ahead of the rest. Our five new tracks from Pieces of a Dream ranked at a 7,9 so it fits in perfectly.

And one more time. Just to see what we have gone through these past few months. With every half average a new colour I present the leaderboard (sorry for the scrolling).

And yes @soratami I was apprehensive for doing this rate as I felt like it would not be justified to cut albums/songs simply to make it more able to do for casual fans. Yet having over 100 songs (and still songs that got excluded - mostly b-side lives or minimal features) I knew with her not being a massive forum fan it would hard to get voters. I was afraid I would end up below 10 voters. I hoped for 20. So getting 27 was a gift! Especially as 23 voters did it all! If an optional would have won it would not be that wrong. I want to thank all of you for going on this road with me. It was an absolute pleasure to host this rate for the woman from which I owe everything in music. My formative years in creating a soundscape I would love. But also showcasing the power of lyrics. She is always a glass half full kind of girl and for me that has always been inspiring. She is my girl. I am so glad I could do this. And you all made that possible. THANK YOU!

XOXO

Here are my album averages from least to most. Shocked to see that Heavy Rotation is above Resurrection, although it was close. I was probably too harsh on Resurrection and some scores would be higher now.
I had the fourth highest average for Not That Kind and fifth highest for Evolution.

7. It's A Man's - 5.65
6. Resurrection - 7.83
5. Heavy Rotation - 7.95
4. Evolution - 8.26
3. Not That Kind - 8.60
2. Freak Of Nature - 8.95
1. Anastacia - 9.14
 
Thank you @Sprockrooster for this brilliant rate and all the work you have done. I had a limited knowledge of Anastacia's music and career, and it's been very interesting and fun to learn more about this amazing singer. I've discovered so many great songs to listen to in 2021 and will keep up with Anastacia's career in the future.
If this is your late rate then it's a fantastic achievement on which to end, and you have done Anastacia proud.
 
What a victory. "I'm Outta Love" is brilliant, but looks like "Left Outside Alone" truly is an untouchable song and an absolute masterpiece. It's incredible that no one gave it anything by 10 or 11 - really justifies its power.

Thank you so much for amazingly running this rate, @Sprockrooster! It was a joy to follow the results and learn some previously unknown tidbits along the way. I'm so happy that Anastacia finally got her own rate and it was done in such a remarkable way.
 
That was an amazing rate, and wow that Top 4.
Thank you for running this @Sprockrooster - a real pleasure.
Iconic. I thought I'm Outta Love would win, maybe Stupid Little Things for sure? My Top 5 comments:

One Day In Your Life 11- Fantastic song. I can never get enough. This has made many nights fantastic and I can never get over it. Wew, I feel empowered when this song comes on, such a rush.
Stupid Little Things 10 - This comeback bop is one of her best songs, GET IT.
I’m Outta Love 10 - What a song. Instant classic, loved it since day one. Serious 11 contender
Left Outside Alone 10 - Let me not give this 11 because of the bridge and I don't like religion (as it is the reason for homophobia and lots of stuff, most killings in history in the name of religion, ok thats not the place for a rate but there are some positives in it is I guess for some but OK.
