#3 - Welcome - 8.77

HIGHS: @Dark Salvation @Sailor - 11
LOWS: @Noah - 6

This is where the next half of the album begins. Theres a classic album within this 2 parter but we got what we got. WELCOME is amazing.  The circus type elements, effects, lyrics.. this is a major highlight! - That J

Woah. Would not have expected this in the Top 3.

And nice taste @Dark Salvation

#2 - Candyman - 9.18

HIGHS: @teawhore @EvilRegal @Alan123 @Noah @Dark Salvation - 10
LOWS: @Rumours1977 - 6.5

This is one of those times where a single could and maybe should win this thing. Candyman is a classic and its a crime it didnt chart as well as it should have. This takes it way back to The Andrew Sisters/wartime music and she pulls it off like a pro.  Fun vocals, lyrics and a blast to listen to. It's hard not to make this an 11. - That J

#1 - Hurt - 9.48

HIGHS: @Lagg - 11
LOWS: @Sailor - 7

One of the absolute best ballads in Christina's career. This song itself hurts but it's such a moving experience just listening to it. Autobiographical, sincere and performed like the boss she is, Christina nails it here. - That J

Me neither honestly. I would LOVE if she did this at the Liberation Tour. My head may explode. Lol

About the first time  The 2nd half was a lot better then the 1st (track 14 - ??) and this track was really great

Oh wow!!!!   Well I figured the singles would be here.  Hurt is a phenomenal song and Candyman is pure fun so this ended up alright after all.  

Thanks so much @teawhore for the amazing job. Cant wait for the next one. Xoxoxoxoxo

I dig this song alot. Another one that is pretty underrated.  This carries a strong vocal and some really good lyrics. - That J

I gave this song an 11 and I'm not even tagged.

OMG A MESS

and so are my notifications

 

while I missed both ceremonies ( ) , I'm quite happy with the results. Most of my faves got the position they deserved.  

Back to Basics is a phenomenal album and I'm really glad you took the effort to start a megarate for this. Thank you
