folklore thread fell off the first page of my followed threads and I’m too lazy to look any further so I’m posting this here in hopes no one already has.
Used the sorter and I'm pretty cool with this top 100. It's wild seeing them all laid out like this... that top 10 is a pretty unimpeachable list of classic songs and had a ton of trouble in the 13-35 region. 1 All Too Well 2 august 3 Holy Ground 4 peace 5 Clean 6 False God 7 this is me trying 8 Treacherous 9 Begin Again 10 mirrorball 11 Death By a Thousand Cuts 12 Wildest Dreams 13 the last great american dynasty 14 marjorie 15 Style 16 How You Get The Girl 17 New Years Day 18 Delicate 19 King Of My Heart 20 Out of the Woods 21 New Romantics 22 State of Grace 23 I Wish You Would 24 Blank Space 25 Paper Rings 26 Cruel Summer 27 All You Had To Do Was Stay 28 Dancing With Our Hands Tied 29 Lover 30 Daylight 31 betty 32 exile(featuring Bon Iver) 33 seven 34 the 1 35 The Man 36 hoax 37 my tears ricochet 38 22 39 cowboy like me 40 long story short

I had done the sorter after folklore came out and got mostly the results I expected but today I listened straight through self-titled to evermore so I might have to give it a go
Maybe I was going too fast and clicked the wrong thing at some point, but my bias sorter results were comically inaccurate. "All Too Well" was down at like 103, and "Last Kiss" wasn't in the top 10. Those are my "gun to the head" top two. Think I'll just keep ranking things by my gut rather than ever using that tool again.
Yeah, if you click something wrong once there's no way to undo it and then it slots it super off. Doesn't help that you have to do like 800 match-ups for this one.
Yeah, I think I must have done that for "All Too Well," because it didn't come up that often, whereas some stuff (seemingly the entire tracklists of Lover and Reputation) came up like 50 times. I felt like I had to manually pick every single song in the T Swift catalog over "ME!"
I got really close to finishing the ranking system when I was waiting to get covid tested but it didn’t save. Haven’t gone back to do it again. But yes. I wish there was a way to just say “put Me! at the end.” I opened the folklore vinyl on Christmas so the confetti was fun to pick up after I ripped through the cardboard box.
