- Album: Sweetener: Yeah I didn't think the Pharrell tracks were too bad overall, but they're definitely the parts of this album that made me go "?" the most for better or worse
- Raindrops (an angel cried): 6 Scary potential to beat a song or two with that voice
- Blazed (feat. Pharrel Williams): 6 Typing the words "dream blunt rotation" as if I've smoked weed ever in my life
- The light is coming (feat. Nicki Minaj): 7 The Sacramento Kings this season:
- R.E.M: 7 Please give me main pop girl Michael Stipe
- God is a woman: 9 Really benefitting from playing this in a dark room at 6am. Oh god that outro was great
- Sweetener: 5 I WANT to say this is the kind of weird that works well, but ehhh. That noise in the background of the second and final chorus is just annoying enough to work though
- Successful: 7 Strange, I don't see K.K. Slider's name in the production credits
- Everytime: 10 Loving this video game water level trap beat
- Breathin: 11 Yeah sorry to be basic but this just knocks out out of the damn park
- No tears left to cry: 7 I'm living I'm laughing I'm loving I'm picking it up
- Borderline (feat. Missy Elliott): 3 Oh hell no, major points deducted for poor use of Missy
- Better off: 7
- Goodnight n go: 6
- Pete davidson: 7 Lovely, hope those two kids are doing alright together, I have not read celebrity news or been on twitter since August 17, 2018
- Get well soon: 7 Solid album closer, think the "here's one thing you can trust" part is great
- Album: Tell Me You Love Me: Just a generally & consistently solid outing
- Sorry Not Sorry: 7 It's an uphill battle to make me like a song with this title, so kudos to em for pulling it up from the brink as best they could
- Tell Me You Love Me: 7
- Sexy Dirty Love: 10 Damn, sexy AND dirty? Tell me more
- You Don't Do It For Me Anymore: 8 Good for her
- Daddy Issues: 8 I know they're going for the whole "downbeat lyrics with upbeat sound" thing, but as much as I liked it, it's a bit too chipper to really blend right and get the double digits
- Ruin The Friendship: 10 Surprised this doesn't soundtrack like sixty-five fandom ship vids on youtube
- Only Forever: 6
- Lonely: 7 Solid but honestly all I can think about is them chopping up the Mustard on the beat tag at the start. Wtf Lil Wayne is here???
- Cry Baby: 9 Was a little scared this wouldn't get past bland video game trailer commercial core, but it has some neat touches - like that stab of sound heading into the second chorus - and it builds well enough to escape that zone
- Games: 7 Need to put the bass all the way up for this one I guess
- Concentrate: 7 No go ahead, tell me what Coldplay song makes the sex jam playlist
- Hitchhiker: 6
- Instruction: 7 Will there be a test on this after the rate
- Smoke & Mirrors: 8 Ooh, now that's smoky
- Ready For Ya: 7
- Album: Rare: All over the place. There's definitely some good songs, but Selena's lack of carry potential means she can't pull the more uninteresting tracks up
- Boyfriend: 9 I mean, if I'm not gonna listen to Kanye then I will absolutely take songs that kinda sound like Fade
- Lose You To Love Me: 6 Eh, a pretty decent if unspectacular ballad
- Rare: 7 Suppose it was a bit naive to think Selena Gomez would dedicate a whole song to Donkey Kong Country 2 & Goldeneye 64
- Souvenir: 7
- Look At Her Now: 5 The mmm-mmm-mmm part is pretty brain numbing, but the background vocals popping in the second chorus might be the best single moment in the rate
- She: 5 Turn this groove into like an actual clear bassline with some life in it and maybe you'll have something
- Crowded Room (feat. 6lack): 8 Would've liked a stronger ending, but overall a nice, warm track
- Vulnerable: 9 Easily the best sounding Selena song so far
- Dance Again: 8 Once again this is a groove I'd be all over if it didn't sound so sterile or had more of a bite, even a little more oomph and it'd be an easy 11 contender
- Ring: 5 Selena Gomez is the Michael Jordan of not being able to pull off comparing herself to Michael Jordan
- A Sweeter Place (feat. Kid Cudi): 7 Lmao a few seconds in and yeah this definitely sounds like a song that's about to feature Kid Cudi alright
- People You Know: 3 She found one fine line and drilled that mf into the ground
- Cut You Off: 4 The Pharrell Sweetener songs' non-union equivalent
- Let Me Get Me: 5
- Kinda Crazy: 6 Sucker for a nice instrumental dropout
- Fun: 9 The pick me up the back half of this album needs
- Feel Me: 7
- Bad Liar: 10 What I call the speakers in the McDonalds lobby when I am once again tricked into thinking I'm about to bop along to Psycho Killer
- Fetish: 7 Selena Gomez releasing a song called Fetish doesn't seem real, like on reveal weekend this will never get eliminated, and when I ask about it the hosts will just send me that video of the Fact or Fiction guy telling me it never happened for forty five seconds
- Back To You: 6 This is certainly an EDM song featuring vocals from Selena Gomez
- BONUS TRACKS
- Miley Cyrus - Malibu: 10 Honestly wishing y'all made this just a single song artist entry in the main rate just so I could consider giving this the 11
- END
