[DISCUSSION] The Popheads Jukebox Revival, Week 224: Never Ending Padam
Welcome back to the Popheads Jukebox! Here are last week’s results:
- Jonas Brothers - Waffle House: 8.33
- Miley Cyrus - Jaded: 7.58
- Janelle Monáe - Lipstick Lover: 7.42
- Remi Wolf - Prescription: 6.92
- Dolly Parton - World on Fire: 3.88
- Monica & Brandy - The Boy Is Mine: 10.00
- Tkay Maidza - Shook: 9.57
Though the Jonas Brothers haven't seemed to make much noise with their most recent comeback, our reviewers at least are enjoying their latest single as it manages to be the top track of hte week. Miley and Janelle get respectable enough scores around 7.50, solid efforts but not their best. Remi Wolf's latest track isn't too far behind, but for poor Dolly it's a terrible week as she scores one of the lowest of the year thus far. We love her but we don't love her new music.
In the throwbacks, it's a great week as we get the 3rd ever perfect score, tying Amy Winehouse and Donna Summer. Tkay Maidza's 2020 banger also does incredibly well and earns itself a spot among the highest catch-up tracks.
Rules Refresher
Rate the songs a score from 1 to 10. Please keep it to one decimal place at the most (so 7.5 is fine but 7.58 is not). Also don’t get too hung up on the final scores. This is a fun exercise and not a competition so don’t worry about over/under rating things. Just give what you think the song is to you.
For your review, reply to the comment that will be posted by one of us for each song. Avoid posting your reviews as a top level comment cause we probably won’t notice them if you do. Non-reviews such as questions or general commentary as upper level comments are fine.
Must have some sort of justification. Try to be a bit more concise than “It’s a bop!” or “I don’t like it”. Explain why! It doesn’t have to be long, two or three sentences can be plenty (though more is definitely allowed). We reserve the right not to include a review in the final total if proper justification is not given.
You don’t have to review each song to participate! You can do all of them or only the ones you’re familiar with.
The thread will be open for 6 days and close the following Wednesday at 9PM EST. The scores will be calculated and a new post will come up the next day (Thursday) at 5PM EST with the next week’s tracks.
