There are a number of acts who have debuted in the past few decades and have dozens of song ratings on this blog. I thought it would be fun to lay these ratings out in chronological order, line-graph style, and take a macro view of their careers so far. Then, similar to my “Underrated K-pop” features, I can average their ratings into one mega-score and place them in a pantheon alongside other acts.
As always, this feature has some rules of its own. I’m including any “Song Review” ratings as part of this graph, including Japanese releases and collaborations with one other artist. I’m not including Buried Treasures or solo/sub-unit releases. For the ratings themselves, I’m using the most current number on this blog, so if a song was part of a “Risers and Fallers” or “Legendary Songs Inauguration” post, that’s the rating you’ll see displayed here. That means there will still be a few ratings here and there I find slightly inaccurate, but it’ll mostly reflect my up-to-date feelings.
Finally, these scores are completely subjective. Feel free to agree, disagree and argue (that’s part of the fun!), but know that this chart reflects the opinion of only one person (me).

Oof, she’s barely tiptoeing between the “Middle of the Pack” and Non-Starter line 😭
I really feel like Taylor Swift has influenced a lot of female pop stars with many now going for the “relatable girl-next-door” image, I mean, Rosé’s entire album is your typical TS album. I do think it’s an apt sound for her but I wish she would go for the fun, punky side of APT. and New Trick more often, she’s got that playful-sounding voice for it

People don’t talk enough about how Taylor Swift has shifted the entire sound and approach to pop music over the past decade or so… and not in a good way.

Don’t listen to the BP solos but I remember hearing APT. everywhere when it first came out. Rose probably makes the most “interesting” music out of the four, though. It’s so sad how they have all this fame and money but still give us mid tier music. Good thing the underground music scene don’t care about going viral on Tiktok or charting well on Billboard 🙃
