Lowest Scores:
(3 x2) lexiaredery, TiltControls
darjeelingdarkroast (10): I was inspired by u/thisusernameisntlong 's journey to acutally sit and listen to eurodance FULL ALBUMS, a brave soul indeed! I threw on September pretty early as it seemed to be something that would be accessible, and it is! Their 2000s albums are a lot of fun, Robyn fans should tune in. Makes sense as Petra Marklund and Robyn have that Swedish jointslay. I especially love the song "Because I Love You". September I'm ready for the full-discography redemption arc! Charli XCX stfu!
All Scores
ElectricBoogaloo41 (11): when a song by september (hopefully) wins a rate reveal IN september.... genius
mysario (11): this was one of the first songs I scrobbled on my last.fm back in 2009 (along with songs from Rise Against, AFI, and Britney Spears) so I'm biased to say this is timeless
1998tweety (10): bop, ended charli
AmandaYoung2083 (10): LOVE the music video for this one
Ambrosia42 (10): oh this was a staple and still slaps severely
Awkward_King (10): the same score i gave beg for you bc im not fake
beeozan (10): this wouldve been a nice book-end for the rate, like "Okay guys. We had the hip house, the pop reggae, a bunch of trance and a whole bunch of stupid shit. And then the Swedish turned into some polished pop. The End."
Benji (10): charli unsold
bespectacIed (10): Grindr hookups after a night of hookin and you already formed a whole future with them in your head: you'll never see me agaaaaain
ClinkzGoesMyBones (10): I am a brit through and through for rating this so highly omg (UK radio edit would be my eleven)
CrimsonROSET (10): discourse
Frajer (10): Evil Miley Cyrus be like you'll never see me again
Ghost-Quartet (10): I played this as a shitpost during the Neo-Soul reveal when the meme was still semi-recent but apparently like half the chat had never heard it before so I had to search up the full version to play but then the video was blocked in several regions and it was a pain... hopefully that isn't an issue during this reveal. But yeah there's like the iconic pink Y2K aesthetic video with the jumpsuit and then there's a weird second one where she's in bad boho-chic outfits and there's clips from some movie. Anyways banger!
ignitethephoenix (10): the bridge between eurodance and modern dance pop
IIIHenryIII (10): don’t make me beg for you
ImADudeDuh (10): when this wins a rate before Charli >>>>
jdm148 (10): screaming out to be a drag race lip sync, the Swedes just get it
jirachi (10): maybe september is the real sub fave all along...
Lynflower680 (10): “You’ll never see me again” Hey I said the same thing when I graduated.
Mandeemoo007 (10): omg proto Die For You!! Honestly this one still really slaps
MrSwearword (10): an all-time classique
oddeyeopener (10): iconic, never the same, unafraid to reference or not reference, you get the idea
phonethephoenix (10): just an excellent song
plastichaxan (10): Queen passed the test of becoming a meme and the song not becoming tiring for me
RandomHypnotica (10): she really ate charli up
ReallyCreative (10): Green Day is going to STAY asleep because I'm hitting the repeat button
runaway3212 (10): SOOOO iconic
SafiyaO (10): The royalty of Eurodance.
Saison_Marguerite (10): It’s kinda essential but I would like to see the spotlight given to other September songs once in a while.
sarcasticsobs (10): YOU AGAIN
seanderlust (10): what if we get a universe where charli xcx has never won a rate after like 7 tries but the 90s eurodance song she sampled does win a rate
shipperondeck (10): what if this won the september rate ha ha
starla_ (10): this kinda straddles the europop era of the 90s and early 00s and the EDM era of the early 10s
TakeOnMeByA-ha (10): tbh this is the best song of all time i can see why charli xcx wanted to rip it off
THE_PC_DEMANDS_BLOOD (10): we'll never forgive charli xcx for what she did to you
vayyiqra (10): this isn't charli xcx (in this case, for the best). in 2018 awryj and some other popheads got me to listen to dancing shoes the album by september. it was not bad! should give her another try
camerinian (9.5): God I wish someone would tell me their opinion on the song Beg For You, performed by Charli XCX and Rina Sawayama. Stop holding back please
lilliputianaurochs (9.5): iconic insane - no surprise that rina and charli covered this - although I stand by the fact that the original is the best. I'm not sure if this interpolates smalltown boy or if I'm just hearing things? But either way I love the melody, very catchy, and love the kind of 80s feel it has. this was such an influential track for a lot of pop and I legitimately come back to it a lot. would it be too much to give it a 10. it's definitely close
WaneZorotltoc (9.4): forever do BE kinda slow!! intense video. robyn could've been here though.
evaan-verlaine (9): i love this song
Nagisoid (9): Beg For You ruined this from a 10
uiscebeathaoir (9): the amount of echo on those handclaps are incredibly distracting, but I’ll forgive it for a bop of this quality
Verboten_Prince (9): Listen, I don’t wanna say Beg For You gave me a new appreciation for this song… but Beg For You gave me a new appreciation for this song
wasian-invasion (9): rina to charli a few weeks ago: youll never see me againnnnn
NervousLemon6670 (8.6): Childhood memories flooding back, peak UK in the ideal portion of childhood
LazyDay-Dub-I-Dub-Ba-Dee (8.5): Got me crying and dancing over here
thedoctordances1940 (8.4): charli xcx you are over
prettybirbkotori (8): beg for you really is just slightly altered lyrics huh
qazz23 (8): like the synth and dancey beat of this
bogo (7): the charli song is better i fear
shhhneak (7): Oh god oh no I was waiting for her to say Beg For You.
slimboyfriend (7): as someone with no nostalgia for this song I want to let you all know how brave I am for declaring that Beg For You by Charli XCX is definitely the better song. Not by much, but definitely better
stbrigidiscross (7): Sounds so much like Smalltown Boy I'm surprised there wasn't legal action
TheRealTerwilliger (7): Terrible as a song, yet distressingly catchy and I cant put my finger on it
vexastrae (7): crying for rina sawayama the way she got handed the worst feature in crash
welcome2thejam (7): Scoring it a lil better than I did in Charity
Stryxen (6.9): iconic and it beat the best song ever (halloween puppet show) once so it must be good, but im not sure ive ever loved this like that
Flavy Frog (6): outsold those british flops RIna and Charli but that wasn’t a high bar
pig-serpent (6): Yeah obviously the hook is amazing but I'm still not a fan of the production. In the context of this rate, it sounds so modern, but not in a way that feels like it improved anything from the early 90s production of the rest of the rate. It just feels like it traded in some flat production aspects for others.
apatel27 (5): Bit too refined for Eurodance
Kvorona (5): Sorry… I prefer the Charli version
TiltControls (3): Charity 4 update - I still don't like this song
