YES. My two favorite songs from Speak Now on this, Enchanted and Long Live.

I like how we always see random old tracks pop up on our chart, and this week it's So Yesterday. I think Im going to start charting older songs cause finding 10 current songs I like enough to chart is kind of impossible

I really like the line "I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you", it's such a great lyric, I kind of wish she didn't go so morbid towards the end though with the "if anything should happen to me tell your kids we were awesome" line of thinking. I wish she would have just kept up the vibe of two people fighting against the world. That is really the highlight of the song, I think it would be a great song for a WB kind of teen-drama. Enchanted was a favorite as well, I wish it wasn't so long though. I think if she cut out the middle, and then put the outtro "please don't have anyone waiting on you" there to close up the song sooner the song would run a lot better. Speak Now is surprisingly solid. I think the better tracks are toward the end though oddly.

I usually call my random old tracks the "indie pick of the week" because usually they are from lesser known artists. But this week I had this nostalgia for TRL, and Duff's So Yesterday song is a culmination of that. I love the second section "you can say your bored (if you wanna), you could act real tough (if you wanna), you could say your turn (if you wanna) but I've heard enough, you made my mind up for me, when you started to ignore me...."

And same to your other comment on not finding enough current music to fill my chart, how sad is that? lol. That's the whole reason I stopped doing my chart before, because more recurrent songs were entering than the current music that was out at the time. lol.

I'm glad you like Better Than Revenge. The Parmoreesque sound she has really gets me every time I give it a listen . Have you heard P!nk's studio version of Whataya Want From Me
