Two plays in, and I'm really struggling to decide, because so much of it is so good. But, with the thought that it's likely to change a LOT:

1. Danceteria
2. Fragile
3. Love Without Words
4. Love Sensation
5. Bring Your Love
6. Betrayal
7. L.E.S. Girl
8. Read My Lips
9. Bizarre
10.My Sins Are My Savior
11.I Feel So Free
12.School
13.One Step Away
14.The Test
15.Everything
16.Good For The Soul

But I would say the top 15 are all fantastic and I'm struggling to put some things that low. 16 is probably the obvious weak spot, but I don't dislike it- I'm just struggling to remember it after two plays.
 
Based off the first listen. This is really hard because this turned out to be a stellar album. I’m sure this will change in the coming days as I wear this out but I figured it would be fun to check back and see what has changed later on.

One Step Away 11
I Feel So Free 10
Danceteria 9
L.E.S Girl 9
Good For The Soul 8

It is way better than it has any need or right to be and I am delighted - I hope she gets the recognition she deserves.

  11. One Step Away
  12. Good for the Soul
  13. Love Sensation
  14. My Sins are My Saviour
  15. Fragile
  16. The Test
 
I don’t know how to rank some of the songs yet, I’m still torn - tracks like Everything and School are not my lane but the former has a wonderfully bonkers structure and the latter is wonderfully bonkers with stunning production. I need a few more listens to know what might grow from appreciation into actual love

In the meantime, my top 5

My Sins Are My Saviour
One Step Away
Love Without Words
Danceteria
Betrayal
 
Every time I listen to Danceteria and it gets to THAT bit I just see Benedict Cumberbatch in my mind doing his funky chicken bad boy dance.

I have to say when I listened last night, it was annoying me that that and Gwendoline Christie LOOMING about were all that was in my head, but I think it’s passed.

Yeah we need an alternate Danceteria video without the cameos for the basic straights

I SAID WHAT I SAID
 
I'll do an initial TOP 5

01 Danceteria
02 One Step Away
03 Fragile
04 Love Sensation
05 Bizarre
 
Love Without Words hits different with premium headphones

It might move up my list

It could still be my overall fave, let see. I was blown away with the album version away from the video when I played it at work earlier. Less so with One Step Away but sublime vocal takes some beating. I think I love the imagery of her on the mini-film for that track too. Its how I see an older Madonna could have been and done more of since MDNA era. So these are my top two at the moment, with the surprise being Fragile which just stood out immediately.
 
1. Love Without Words
2. The Test
3. Good For The Soul
4. Fragile
5. Love Sensation
6. My Sins Are My Savior
7. One Step Away
8. Everything
9. I Feel So Free
10. Danceteria
11. Bring Your Love
12. Betrayal
13. Bizarre
14. School
15. L.E.S. Girl
16. Read My Lips

Surprised that so many people dislike The Test. I think it's great.
 
I'm not ready to rank yet. All I know is that Everything remains at the bottom.

now you have The Test twice! :D I can't work out which one is missing though
 
Good for the Soul being so far down most peeps ranking is a bit of a shame given its TRACK TWO. Does this cloud the ALBAM at all?
