I used Spotify to determine my TRUE ranking of Gaga albums

[sarahb 16,870]

Okay so if you were to ask me to rank which Gaga albums are my favourite, it'd go something like:

1. Chromatica (yes shoot me)
2. The Fame Monster
3. Mayhem
4. ARTPOP
5. Born This Way
6. The Fame
7. Joanne (sorry )

Now I have a playlist on Spotify and I've recently added all the Gaga songs I want to it. So I worked out which percentage of songs from each album I've added to the playlist (I excluded things like remixes and interludes). So it turns out that isn't my ranking at all. My true ranking based on added songs is actually this:

1. Chromatica (100%) (yes shoot me)
2. Born This way (88.24%) ????
3. The Fame Monster (75%)
4. ARTPOP (71.43%)
5. Mayhem (57.14%) (though I should've added Don't Call Tonight to it but it'll rank 5th regardless)
6. The Fame (33.3%)
7. Joanne (21.43%)

So....turns out I actually like Born This Way more than ARTPOP, Mayhem and even the goddamn TFM. I don't know what to do with this information, what I THINK I like and what I ACTUALLY like are two different things and idk if this has a metaphor or life lesson in it somewhere but it killed some time anyway 

But this methodology might be flawed, like if I grabbed 5 random songs BTW and 5 from TFM I figure I'd like the TFM songs better.....but idk whether to trust myself anymore okay I'm done

Your "thought" top 3 slays sis, finally someone with actual good taste, keep it like that

I like this method  I realized I often have way more nostalgic feelings about songs compared to the amount I actually listen to them

Also (sorry for the double post) having more songs from one album does not necessarily mean you like that one better.

You may have 3 TFM songs which you lose your head for, and 10 BTW songs that are cute and you enjoy but that's about it. Also, it is not fair, as longer albums have more chances of having their "cutie but not so favorite" songs included in your playlist simply because they are longer. It is a matter of statistics (is it? )

Anyway, I hope my point has come across

Yeah your TFM thing is what I mentioned as one flaw in my 'study'. But the album length is why I did it based on percentage rather than total number of songs. I liked 6 songs from TFM and 10 from ARTPOP, but TFM still ranked higher. 

I think that's right, look I failed statistics at uni for a reason

But yeah I guess I could further divide the songs into songs I love vs okay with but idk if I wanna bother with that

edit: nevermind I'm an idiot. Remembering DWUW exists does not give ARTPOP a higher percentage than TFM
