loveyoumadly 431 Posted April 24, 2023 Hi guys, so I was on TikTok and found a video of a Taylor Swift fan coming up with a ranking system to know which album you love the most and it's actually very impressive. SO I guess I'll share it here. The idea is, for each album you need to put the songs in 3 categories : skips, favorites, neutrals. For example : Born To Die (Paradise Edition) has 24 songs. For me, I have 5 skips so (5/24), 15 favorites (15/24) and 4 neutrals (4/24). You divide your number of skips by the total number of songs which equals, for me, to 20% skips You divide your number of favorites by the total number of songs which equals, for me, to 62% favorites You add the 2 numbers : 20 + 62 = 82. You subtract from 100 : 100 - 82 = 18 so, 18% neutrals Now each pourcentage of favorites equals 1 point (so 62 for me) and each neutrals equals 0,5 points (so 9 points) = 62 + 9 = 71 points ! Do this for each album and rank according to the number of points. This is my final points according to this system : UV = 85,5 points NFR = 75 points BTD Paradise edition = 71 points Honeymoon = 60,5 points DYKTTATUOB = 59 points LFL = 53 points BB = 43,5 points COTCC = 19 points In order to not rank twice the same song I only ranked BTD Paradise edition. Tell me what you think, can't wait to see yours if you do it ! 12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loveyoumadly 431 Posted April 24, 2023 Also, it's pretty much accurate like crazy accurate (but surprised in a way a thought honeymoon was lower) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bia 1,010 Posted April 24, 2023 To rank the albums, I rank their songs and consider the position of the song as the number of points the song has. Example: off to the races is my overall favorite song from Lana so it has 1 point. My second favourite (released of course) song from Lana I guess is Black Beauty, so it has 2 points. After ranking the songs, I sum the total points of the songs and divide by the number of tracks in the album. The album with the smaller sum will be my favorite one and the one with the highest sum will be my least favorite. It’s crazy and takes a lot of work, but I think it’s pretty accurate and fun I did not make it with OB yet but I will post it here when possible 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it was always hard for me to rank her albums , so this is a really nice method to do that 2 Quote "Swan Song. It’s on my album Honeymoon. It’s the antithesis of hopefulness.

I like your ranking. Honeymoon and lfl are on my top 3 too. I am surprised about your low ranking for ob, but i agree, there are a few songs i love, but in General it is too empty. Only with your low ranking for btd i am not agreeing. It is a timeless classic for me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
