It’s a ten but….

Feeding off of the latest social media trend, I thought it’d be fun to do an LDR spin on this game. The idea is that we highlight songs that are top-tier but something ever so slightly makes them just barely miss the mark. I’ll start with an example: 

 

“How to Disappear is a ten but the jingle bells kill the vibe” 

 

Feel free to make your own spin on it too, e.g. “HTD is a ten but the jingle bells make it a 9” idk just have fun with it! Ready, go!
