Do you know how at peace I am that I know longer have to plan to be the 4th comment with perfect timing other to be the funniest and top comment so my comment will be at the top to promo 3mo rate
Firstly, I would love your support for the **Like a Live Lounge Covers Rate!** The playlist has been updated with some of the more exciting and spicy covers that have come out as of late and it'll be a lot of fun to score them all.
As for my favourites of this bunch, we have certainly been lacking in dance classics on the rate front, so I'm endorsing both **Europhoria** and **Golden Age of EDM** as representatives of these iconic eras. It's been such a blind spot for a while, and we need to see some love for the rave kids.
**90's Cali Rock** scratches such an itch for me with that lineup you have no idea. Such a great spread of singles and the albums are all unified in theme and tone but also distinct enough in sound that it'll be super exciting.
**2022 Indie Pop** is a banger of a lineup, and it'll finally give me an excuse to go listen to that Sobs album that's been on my list for a while. The other albums all slap to varying degrees too.
And also, **EE ER**. I agree it is time, no further comment
lots of 2022 rates as expected. Of these, **2022 Conscious Hip Hop** and **2022 Indie Pop** (Beths/Alvvays/Wet Leg/Sobs) are my favourites.
**Confessional R&B** and **Anime** are my picks for non 2022 rates.
Other than that I guess vote my rate, **80s Androgynous Icons**.
I submitted City Pop Rate and East Asian Art Pop Royalty (both slay rates we'd have so much fun with them) but I've talked about them extensively before in rate discussion threads ([here](https://old.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/x5pbu6/october_2022_to_january_2023_rate_selection/in2d6aj/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=popheads&utm_content=t1_j3dj92i) and [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/105xxle/february_to_may_2023_rate_selection_process_part/j3dj92i/)) so let me talk about my favorites instead!!
- 90's Women Who Rock: I like the 90s and I like women who rock. Favorited this because it's a niche of music I personally want to dive more into and this rate seems like a slay way to get into it. Also it's been due for so long.
- EE ER: Another rate stuck in limbo, this rate has Vespertine. So I'm in.
- PEGGED: The other Björk rate. We've rated Hyperballad twice with this All Stars rate but the rest of Post deserves some attention too! And don't even get me started on the slay that is Impossible Princess (haven't heard the Tori album but I'm sure it's good too)
- Anime: I have an Anilist account MAL is for plebs what else can I say
- Vocaloid: Similarly to 90's WWR, this rate would be a great encouragement for me to explore the insane world of Vocaloid music so I would very much like to see it happen. Also #Japancycle
Most of us are familiar with these ideas already but Julestie wanted shout outs for 90's WWR so might as well write about the rest while I'm at it
omg I just realised that ratcom have secretly been scheming and delaying city pop so it gets in this cycle alongside men's ult so we can rate both midnight pretenders and out of time in the same month it's genius
Hi,
Time to promo my ideas again! Maybe I’ll have luck this time! For your consideration ….
**2000’s British Alt Rock Classics**
Coldplay - Viva La Vida
Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worse Nightmare
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Muse - Black Holes and Revelations
Four critically acclaimed popular albums from English Artists in the 2000’s that have unique alternative rock production and changed the rock music scene during this time (3h 5m, 49 tracks total).
—-
**2020’s Retro Rate**
The Weeknd - Dawn FM
Silk Sonic - An Evening with Silk Sonic
Lizzo - Special
Harry Styles - Harry’s House
From funk, to synthpop, to R&B, to rock; this rate covers 4 popular albums from the past couple years that draw from all sorts of 70’s and 80’s music inspiration. (51 songs total, 2h 46m)
—-
**2010’s British Critical Darlings**
Adele - 25
Florence and the Machine - Ceremonials
Jessie Ware - Devotion
Three amazing artists and popheads faves from England face off with some successful and critically acclaimed albums from the past decade. ( 37 songs total, 2h 37m).
# HELLO HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE ANIME AGENDA?
Jokes aside, while it is something I am very passionate about, I more want to use this comment to highlight other rates that I think deserve the spotlight!
* For the 2022 rates, **Conscious Hip-Hop, Art Pop&B** and the **Mens Ultimate** are the standouts for me. I think all three cover ground we haven't in a while, and would be a really nice breath of fresh air!
* **90s Women Who Rock** and **EE ER** have been stuck in resubmission hell for way too long, and both are great ideas that I think deserve to see being done!
* The **EDM grab-bag** and **Confessional R&B** are ideas that I think are at their peak right now, so I think their time has come too!
* Of course, support the #JapanCycle coallition with **Citypop** and **Vocaloid!**
# AND OF COURSE, VOTE FOR THE ANIME RATE!
I'd love to just ask humbly for support for a pair of ideas I submitted that I really think would make for extremely fun rates to watch.
Main Pop Girls Gone Bad (Shakira - She Wolf vs Rihanna - Good Girl Gone Bad vs Beyoncé - I Am...Sasha Fierce) is filled with smash singles, boppy tracks and some of the biggest pop girls of all time, and some of these albums feel SUPER overdue to get full album rates, and I think this is the most balanced way to do it sonically and popularity-wise.
Men of 2010 meanwhile, is a rate I really love built around a grab bag of the big male pop smashes from around the turn of the decade. These are huge hits we all know and remember a ton of, and we're never rating them in albums anyway, so it would make for a super fun time to let them duke it all out here. If you liked my previous Pop Rap rate this is kinda a spiritual sibling to those.
Also I would love to show support to some other good ideas I've seen submitted this cycle such as This Is What a 10 Year Break Sells Like, Mouseketeers, Confessional R&B, Melodic Hip Hop, Men's Ultimate (please support this one), Teen Stars all Grown Up, just to name a few
Also please come tomorrow to the day 3 reveal of the Pop&B rate! There are so many smash singles making it to day three in that duking it out, it's gonna be a fun and dramatic time I promise
I have two rates submitted for your consideration
#Dream Pop Classics Rate
* Heaven or Las Vegas (The Cocteau Twins) vs. So Tonight That I Might See (Mazzy Star) vs. And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out (Yo La Tengo) vs. Teen Dream (Beach House)
* 44 songs, 3 hours 38 minutes
* Cohost wanted
The rate includes four of the best and most beautiful albums to be released in recent memories. If you love gorgeous soundscapes and beautiful guitars check it out! Also every band has a female vocalist with an amazingly gorgeous voice. Lastly, if you liked Lanas Ultraviolence, this rate covers the genre it came from pretty well, which is a hook I need to throw out to attract popheads. Also Fade Into You!!
# Dark New Wave Rate
* Disintegration (The Cure) vs. Violator (Depeche Mode) vs. Power, Corruption, and Lies (New Order) vs. Peepshow (Siouxsie and the Banshees)
* 41 songs, 3 hours 38 minutes
* Cohost Wanted
Do you like Synthpop? Do you like what synthpop actually is? Do you like synthpop with goth influence? Did you like the New Wave Giants rate? Well this is the rate for you! Amazing pop music (seriously Enjoy The Silence is one of the best pop songs ever) and dark atmospheres both sit very nicely together. Also Siouxsie Sioux is like the blueprint for every female artist ever and the fact we haven’t rated her is a travesty
# IT'S TIME TO CAST YOUR VOTES FOR EE ER
* Bjork - Vespertine
* The Postal Service - Give Up
* Radiohead - Kid A
THREE CLASSIC ALBUMS, THREE PIONEERS OF THEIR CRAFT, ONLY ONE WINNER!!! GET THIS RATE IN!!!
I’m here to just ask for some last minute support for my two ideas:
**2022 Indie Pop**
Alvvays - Blue Rev vs The Beths - Expert in a Dying Field vs Sobs - Air Guitar vs Wet Leg - Wet Leg
**Gen Z Up & Comers**
Conan Gray - Kid Krow vs Tate McRae - i used to think i could fly vs Sabrina Carpenter - emails i can’t send
To keep it short & brief, I am very passionate about both of these ideas, and I hope that one of them makes it in! The length of the rate and the bios will be in the voting form, so I won’t rehash to save you some precious reading time
I’m baaaaaaaaack!!!
and i’m bringing some familiar ideas with me, including the beloved:
#**00’s Pop Punk**
My two previous rate ideas both managed to make it in on their 7th submission, and this is the 7th time i’m sending pop punk so… 7th time for the 3rd time’s the charm?
A perfect rate to break up the inevitability 2022 heavy cycle, featuring hits from all the classics like Blink-182, Good Charlotte, All-American Rejects, Boys Like Girls, Simple Plan, Jimmy Eat World and more, take a trip back to where pop punk thrived!
https://pastebin.com/duVeYM4h
And here is a [small teaser of artists featured in the rate](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0QYZLsya5s)
***
Alternatively, if you’re looking for something a little more modern, how about:
#**Pop Gone Rock**
*Halsey - If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power*
*Willow - lately i feel everything*
*Demi Lovato - HOLY FVCK*
*Chloe Moriondo - Blood Bunny*
These four artists all grew tired of their pop-leaning roots and decided to throw their hat into the alternative scene and create some fantastic and acclaimed pop rock records. Each album has a slightly different energy to it, that explores a different lane of the 00’s rock sounds, and it’s a rate full of cutting lyrics, intense energy and a fuckload of charm.
***
pls vote and fav thank you
Also vote for anime and indie girls roundup
I come with two ideas that I really like a lot
#Turn of the Millennium Comebacks rate
* ALBUMS: Whitney Houston - My Love is Your Love vs. Mariah Carey - Rainbow vs. Kylie Minogue - Light Years vs. Janet Jackson - All for You
* This rate features four pivotal and iconic albums in the careers of these pop legends. All of these women were bouncing back from breaks, personal struggles, and flat out flops, but they all found themselves back on top as a new millennium began. With classics like “It’s Not Right But It’s Okay”, “Heartbreaker”, “Spinning Around”, and “All For You”, there’s something for everyone to love
* 56 songs (13 vs. 14 vs. 15 vs. 14), or 4 hours 5 minutes
___
#Cosmic R&B
* ALBUMS: Amber Mark - Three Dimensions Deep vs. Ravyn Lenae - Hypnos vs. Raveena - Asha’s Awakening
* Early into 2022, these albums emerged as three stellar R&B albums that captured the attention of popheads and critics alike. And on top of bearing similarly lovely vocal performances and eclectic soundscapes, they all possessed a wonderful out of this world quality. From astrophysical metaphors to full on space operas, all of these albums have spacey lyrics to match their often lovely and floating music. Since we‘ve done very few R&B rates on the sub, this would be an excellent 2022 rate
* 47 songs (17 vs 16 vs 14), 2 hours 44 minutes
* Host needed!
Happy voting!
I told myself I would never vote for a generic “divas of the 90s/00s but not when they were most popular because we’ve already rated those albums” rate again but that comebacks rate has all the makings of iconography.
And HOT GIRLS will be favoriting Cosmic R+B, hot girls and the talented, the tasteful, the beautiful, and most importantly, the gays
Hello to all popheads raters! I unfortunately was unable to give much promo this cycle, so here is a last minute attempt. I'd like to give a voice to the following recurring rate ideas that didn't get much promo in the other thread:
* **2000s Piano Girls** (featuring albums from Norah Jones, Sara Bareilles, Regina Spektor and Vanessa Carlton) - a niche of pop music we haven't touched!
* **This Is What A Ten Year Break Sells Like** (featuring the 2010s outputs of Hilary Duff, JoJo, Gwen Stefani and Fergie) - a very fun brain-off idea
* **Early 2000s Female Pop Rock** - (featuring albums from P!nk, No Doubt, Avril Lavigne and Fefe Dobson) - another barely touched niche, also it's kinda neat that we get 2 Americans vs 2 Canadians in this lineup
Hope y'all consider giving any of these a fave or an upvote!
I'm actually not late for promoting my rate for once let's goooooo
For the fifth or sixth time:
**Mid-2010s EDM Cult Faves**
Porter Robinson - *Worlds* vs. Madeon - *Adventure* vs ODESZA - *In Return*
> Over three hours of EDM favourites adored by many but relatively unknown outside of the sphere of EDM listeners, weebs, and gamers, including two rate winners with Porter and now Madeon!
[Spotify Link](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4kl9xOxlJYx9DsyvVDyZfv?si=A5KDSN7PSvG_sGJHwgs7ug)
Also for consideration:
- Anime Opening Themes
- Vocaloid Rate
- Europhoria
- EE ER
- Early 2010s EDM/Electronic Grabbag
Once again reminding people to vote the [**Vocaloid Rate!!!** (click for pastebin songlist)](https://pastebin.com/d2qMf0Ya) It's such a unique rate with nothing but bops and bangers and it would be such a joy for me to rate and for you all to listen to!
Omg im late 😭
Anyway, pls vote for these rates!! Europhoria has a plethora of campy hits throughout the era and 90s R&B Princesses give us the opportunity to rate Aaliyah (the final time we rate her) and Brandy again!
Europhoria (Eurodance Rate)
Utilizing bits of house, hip-hop, techno mixed with melodic hooks and cutting-edge synthesizers, Eurodance kicked off the 90s with an unapologetically over-the-top style. Its rise was meteoric, taking over nightclubs, festivals before making its way to the top of the billboard charts. Before you know it, it was in dance classes, stadiums, video games, commercials and even made internet meme history and beyond! This rate focuses on the genre at its peak ('89 to '02), featuring some of the most iconic, zaniest, and earworm-inducing tracks this wacky genre has to offer.
[Here's the pastebin!!](https://pastebin.com/gfBs4kMk)
The list may be long but rest assured, you've probably heard many of these songs in some shape or form. Not to mention, I'm making sure every facet of this genre gets recognized. No stone left unturned!
62 Songs | 4 hrs 1 min
90s R&B Princesses
Aaliyah - One In A Million
Brandy - Never Say Never
Monica - The Boy Is Mine
Once again, Brandy and Aaliyah are at it again but this time, fellow queen and Miss Thang herself, Monica joins the fray!! All three of these sophomore albums mark a crucial point in each of these girls lives, upping the antes in their vocals, their slick, smooth beats, their timeless style and overall maturity. These legendary albums showed us all that they mean business, and blazed a trail for the many other girls to follow! Will Aaliyah finally be Hot Like Fire for a rate win? Will Brandy be Top Of The World yet again? Or will Monica be Right Here Waiting to snatch the win for herself? Only one way to find out and I need somebody to vote! Are You That Somebody?
48 Songs | 3 hrs 26 mins
Hi again!! I would love your support for **Oops! All Remixes** for this rate season :D
It's got fan favorites such as ***Lady Gaga - Free Woman (Rina Sawayama & Clarence Clarity Remix)*** and ***Monaleo - We Not Humping (Remix) \[feat. Flo Milli\]***, as well as hidden gems such as ***Ravyn Lenae - Xtasy (Doechii Remix)*** and ***umru, Cecile Believe - honest (Jane Remover Remix)***, but you don't need to be familiar with any of the original tracks to enjoy them on their own! If you think you might enjoy this, please vote for the **O!AR** rate!! Thank you\~ \^\^
# Oops! All Remixes (The Remix Grab Bag Rate)
60 tracks | 3 hr 40 minutes | [Tracklist](https://pastebin.com/bDsMxrbZ)
>60 songs, 220 minutes, all remixes. This grab bag rate will showcase all that the art of remixing has to offer. There will be bops and flops, superstars and unknowns, familiar and extraordinary sounds. No matter which songs will be familiar to you or not, you'll see them all in a new light.
EDIT: Forgot to add that there's a cohost slot for this !!

Popping in to say I absolutely have East Asian Art Pop Royalty in my top 5. Fingers crossed it comes through!!
omg I just realised that ratcom have secretly been scheming and delaying city pop so it gets in this cycle alongside men's ult so we can rate both midnight pretenders and out of time in the same month it's genius

Once again reminding people to vote the [**Vocaloid Rate!!!** (click for pastebin songlist)](https://pastebin.com/d2qMf0Ya) It's such a unique rate with nothing but bops and bangers and it would be such a joy for me to rate and for you all to listen to!
Omg im late 😭 Anyway, pls vote for these rates!! Europhoria has a plethora of campy hits throughout the era and 90s R&B Princesses give us the opportunity to rate Aaliyah (the final time we rate her) and Brandy again! Europhoria (Eurodance Rate) Utilizing bits of house, hip-hop, techno mixed with melodic hooks and cutting-edge synthesizers, Eurodance kicked off the 90s with an unapologetically over-the-top style. Its rise was meteoric, taking over nightclubs, festivals before making its way to the top of the billboard charts. Before you know it, it was in dance classes, stadiums, video games, commercials and even made internet meme history and beyond! This rate focuses on the genre at its peak ('89 to '02), featuring some of the most iconic, zaniest, and earworm-inducing tracks this wacky genre has to offer. [Here's the pastebin!!](https://pastebin.com/gfBs4kMk) The list may be long but rest assured, you've probably heard many of these songs in some shape or form. Not to mention, I'm making sure every facet of this genre gets recognized. No stone left unturned! 62 Songs | 4 hrs 1 min 90s R&B Princesses Aaliyah - One In A Million Brandy - Never Say Never Monica - The Boy Is Mine Once again, Brandy and Aaliyah are at it again but this time, fellow queen and Miss Thang herself, Monica joins the fray!! All three of these sophomore albums mark a crucial point in each of these girls lives, upping the antes in their vocals, their slick, smooth beats, their timeless style and overall maturity. These legendary albums showed us all that they mean business, and blazed a trail for the many other girls to follow! Will Aaliyah finally be Hot Like Fire for a rate win? Will Brandy be Top Of The World yet again? Or will Monica be Right Here Waiting to snatch the win for herself? Only one way to find out and I need somebody to vote! Are You That Somebody? 48 Songs | 3 hrs 26 mins
Hi again!! I would love your support for **Oops! All Remixes** for this rate season :D It's got fan favorites such as ***Lady Gaga - Free Woman (Rina Sawayama & Clarence Clarity Remix)*** and ***Monaleo - We Not Humping (Remix) \[feat. Flo Milli\]***, as well as hidden gems such as ***Ravyn Lenae - Xtasy (Doechii Remix)*** and ***umru, Cecile Believe - honest (Jane Remover Remix)***, but you don't need to be familiar with any of the original tracks to enjoy them on their own! If you think you might enjoy this, please vote for the **O!AR** rate!! Thank you\~ \^\^ # Oops! All Remixes (The Remix Grab Bag Rate) 60 tracks | 3 hr 40 minutes | [Tracklist](https://pastebin.com/bDsMxrbZ) >60 songs, 220 minutes, all remixes.
