Certifications: Gold (Venezuela)
Release: Lead single for Aly & AJ's debut album Into the Rush, in October 2005.
Songwriters: Aly and Amanda Joy Michalka, Carlos Tornes, produced by Dan James and Leah Haywood.
Fun Facts: The girls said "Rush" is about someone getting excited about something, for them that was touring and performing. The song was originally released by Disney to promote the movie Twitches, but had so much popularity it led to a mainstream release as well. There were two videos, one with scenes from Twitches and a second shot in Hawaii.
Hazey's Focus: I'm proud of this performance, because I have this perception not a lot of forum members know much about their music beyond "Potential Breakup Song" and figured this would succumb to the new listener's curse. It's certainly the song I knew from them first (along with their amazing cover of "Walking on Sunshine"). It's kind of perfect how it beats out "Fly", because I would equate those two songs both for the message and spirit, as well as the sound and song structure. We have an excellent buildup here as well, leading to an explosive chorus, maybe the most explosive in the rate as far how it comes out of nowhere. The first "don't let nobody tell you..." still shakes me to the core.
@Blond (6) discusses the influence of more pop/rock queens we haven't had our commentary as of yet: "I’d bet that A LOT of the songs in this rate were written with Kelly Clarkson or Ashlee Simpson in mind and this kind of sounds like it could be. It plods along and the vocals are wafer thin, but it would have made a decent Kelly album track."
@iheartpoptarts (6.5) stays in that same era with the comparison she sees: "Very mid-00s Max Martin gone pop rock except not Max Martin. I always feel like all those songs kind of sound the same. But then, you could say that about some of my faves, too!"
@Remorque (6.5) gets a lukewarm feeling and thinks they were a bit sloppy in their delivery: "Doesn't give me any kinda rush whatsoever though? It all feels a bit joyless and I think that's down to the girls' performances... And that last bit? Instead of the ad-libs complementing the chorus, they just make a complete mess of it." If you're referring the little yells they do the background as the song fades out, I've always loved it.
I guess @WhenTheSunGoesDown (8) wasn't feeling it either: "That 25 second fade out is just lazy."
@Pecans (7) wasn't even that specific about where things went off the track: "A decent track, but it gets a little messy in the chorus."
Unfortunately, @Martyn (7.5) left this song in 2005: "It really hasn't aged well at all. Have good memories of this song."
@Sally_Harper (8) had her first experience with the song's explosiveness: "This is a bit of a tune, although the chorus took me a bit by surprise because the first verse was quite ploddy."
Just like it did for me, this led to years of stanning from @livefrommelbs (8.5): "This was the song that really made me sit up and take notice of the Sisters Michalka. That chorus is pure mid-noughties pop-rock heaven."
It was also the introduction for @31entrance, but you'll never guess how: "I'll never forget how I came to know of this song: through that Bratz Playstation 2 game! you know that one where you do missions and stuff? anywho this song probably introduced me to Aly & AJ as a whole so it will always be special to me. and it still sounds good today easily deserves a 10."

If we're going to finally start eliminating Guilty Pleasure tracks, it could've been worse..

Year-End Chart: #70 (Austria)
Release: Lead single for Ashley's second album Guilty Pleasure, in March 2008.
Songwriters: Niclas Molinder (producer), Joacim Persson (producer), Johan Alkenäs (producer), David Jassy.
Lyrics: Ashley described the song the following way: "is a strong, empowering song that kind of helps you move on" and continued to say, "and with someone you really like, if they are cheating on you, you don't want to believe it. But, unfortunately, you either stay in the relationship and keep getting hurt because it keeps happening or you get up and you move on. You don't look back."
Fun Facts: Former 90210 star Adam Gregory stars in the music video as Ashley's cheating ex-boyfriend, whom Ashley gets revenge on by throwing a party at his house and trashing the place. Director of the music video (and also for "Crank It Up") Scott Speer was in an on-and-off relationship with Ashley between 2009-2012. Ashley was a huge fan of Kelly Clarkson and "Since U Been Gone" was her favorite song, "It's Alright, It's OK" was directly inspired by it.
Hazey's Focus: This one has never been among my favorites from an album that is absolutely loaded with them, so in that sense I think I end up underrating it half of the time. It's definitely more of a situation where I need to have it playing for me to feel the full force of it all. I've never actually been crazy about how the chorus starts out but "I WON'T RETURN, OUR BRIDGE HAS BURNED DOWN, I'M STRONGER NOW!" is a Category 5 hurricane with how much passion Ashley puts into the vocal.
@GhettoPrincess (5) wasn't huge fan of this during Ashley's discography rate so this must have been happening for a while: "I used to love this one but it’s really grated on me. That chorus is rather flat. I do love the ad-libs though."
You know I can actually hear it, now that you mention it @Blond (6), good thing I don't let those sort of things ruin songs for me: "Cute cover of So What."
This sermon from @iheartpoptarts (8) exactly why I won't let it ruin things for me: "We all agree this is better than ‘So What’, right? Good."
I'm surprised someone like @iheartpoptarts didn't pick up on this connection @Sprockrooster (7) shared with us: "I love this wordplay on the Whitney classic."
While @livefrommelbs (7.5) goes in a completely different direction. Ashley, the omnipotent queen: "The pop-rock version of 'Bad Boys' by Alexandra Burke, and that is a compliment."
It's tea served by @Sally_Harper (7) but I'd argue it's near her best when we compare it to her first album: "It’s good but nowhere near her best."
I really hope @Remorque (7.5) was about to be scalped, but we'll have to wait and see: "The most enjoyable of her songs so far for me... It has a nice melody and she gives us a nice little performance, though it's still not very strong. It's alright, OK, I guess."
@unnameable (9) knows why she's also known as Ashslay around here: "love that Tiz attitude."
Now here's the real scripture, highlighted by @Martyn (10): "I love this song, really all of Guilty Pleasure is very good."
That's not all either, @31entrance (10) serves the double batch of that good iced tea: "Guilty Pleasure was that album for me not. a. single. bad. song on it, the pop rock sound worked so well for her and this song just proves it."
We'll end with @WhenTheSunGoesDown (10) who sent a reactionary gif that I can't preview right now because I'm at work, but I'm sure it's good:

Hilary slaying the game is just how it should be! That's talent for ya. I think either Naturally or Sparks is gonna win, but Come Clean.... I'd definitely say any of those three could have it.
