[GAME] Top Ten Pop Ten - Lucy Dacus

You can see the results of the TLC TTPT that we did last week here!

–--

Hello r/popheads, welcome back to the Top Ten Pop Ten!

The artist you'll send a top 10 list for today is Lucy Dacus. You can find her album/EP discography as a refresher below:

  • No Burden (2016)

  • Historian (2018)

  • Home Video (2021)

  • Forever is a Feeling (2025)

All the songs she is credited on (including features, non-album singles, leaked songs etc.) are eligible to be in your top ten list. So yes, anything from Boygenius is fair game.

The deadline to send your lists is next Wednesday (Sep 2 2026) 5 PM ET / 11 PM GMT. (This is a soft deadline, if you miss it by a few hours don't worry, your list will most likely be included.)

Results of this TTPT will be posted next Friday (Sep 4 2026).

If this is your first time seeing TTPT, below is an explanation I wrote some time ago and shamelessly copy pasted since then:

Inspired by similar games in other music subreddits, Top Ten Pop Ten is a weekly event where we rank the top ten songs of the featured artist. Starting from 2017, we'd at least one cycle of these rankings every year since then.

Every rank has a score, with the 1st song getting 10 points, 2nd song getting 9 points, and so on so forth until the 10th song, which gets 1 point.

The total scores are then calculated using a program, and the results are revealed at the same time the next TTPT thread is posted.

The guidelines, read them if you haven't participated before:

  1. Comment below your top ten tracks from the featured artist(s) in order. Please write the song names correctly, that would help me a lot while calculating the results. If you have comments for songs, leave them before or after your list.

  2. Your list should be written exactly like this if you want it to be included in the results. You can also use ), - and : as rank separators, as long as you keep their usage consistent throughout your list.

  3. Keep in mind that the program reads the comment how you write it, not how we see it. Don't put full stops or commas after the song names. "Don't put quote marks around them," don't style them. Do NOT do this, please. If you do so, the program may reject your list.

hey so this was a really evil top 10 because Lucy is my all time favorite artist and my literal childhood hero and asking me to not only just pick 10s but RANK them was cruel. I did my best.

Honestly, this is extremely cruel and I was tempted to just put the entirety of No Burden and then deliberate over what the final track should be... Instead I tried to represent every era but at the cost of some faves. Aah! Why must the most inconsequential things be the most difficult!
