This was, pretty much, the last hope that I had for a song in my top ten/eleven to go top five.
Wonderful.

GODDAMNIT YOU CAN'T EVEN TREAT GORILLAZ RIGHT Its an 05 song. Its in 05 Rankdown too, and I will have it like 20 spots higher there. I ranked it lower cause its not an 06 song, but I ranked it way too low actually.

^ Jesus, not even Miles had that long of a rant. XD. That's because I can put together cohesive arguments with rational reasons to not like a song. :sip2:

This next song had the longest streak in the RD, for having no ranks below 50...until the last few lists came and killed it.

I don't understand this rationale of ranking things differently from year to year. I rank songs based on how much I enjoy them as of the moment I create my ranks, not by how much relevancy they had in a year.

I don't get why songs get ranked higher or lower if they peaked in a different year?

I don't get why songs get ranked higher or lower if they peaked in a different year? I do it to make room for the songs I feel deserved to have a higher placing on my rankings for that particular list, that's why year of release/peak plays a role in it for me. I can't speak for others, though.

Song quality isn't affected by the year it was popular #justiceforFGI

Alright, so here's why "Chasing Cars" is my #99. -The lead vocalist's voice is something made explicitly for children's lullabies and nothing more. You guys know I hate Chris Martin's voice, right? Well, the lead singer of this band's voice makes his sound like a god to me. -Each verse and chorus has, like, ten words stretched over what feels like a period of 5 minutes for each damn section of the song. Why? Why are there such long pauses? Do you think we need to reflect on what he just said? The lyrics aren't that deep or moving, fam. -The same two notes from the piano just never f**king stop playing. -This song is used in every f**king television show to convey sadness. Grey's Anatomy alone has probably played this on average 5 times per season. But, like, the song isn't even that sad. It's a love song. Why? Why, American television? Why? -2006 was a period in which the only ways I listened to music was through the radio or some sort of CD player. At that time, I did not yet own an MP3 or iPod/Zune/smartphone. I listened to ~7 stations in my area while growing up. Two were hot ACs, 1 was an AC, 1 rhythmic, 1 pop, and 2 country. This was played on ALL of them except the 2 country ones. "Yeah, so what?" you might be asking. Naw, they didn't just play it, the WHORED it. There was a period of 4-5 months in 2006 where if you turned the radio on at any given time, one of those seven stations was playing this wretched song. Specifically, our local pop station played it so damn often they even had a f**king intro for it. It was a group of people shouting Snow Patrol over and over. Why? I don't know. I never once heard anyone in real life ever talk about this pile of garbage. This might actually be the most overplayed song I've ever had the misfortune to experience... and 2006 also has "Hips Don't Lie"! -VH1 also whored this song to death. I don't remember much about the video because if it came on, I always turned it off. What I do remember, though, is him laying on the floor in front of an escalator or stairs or some s**t*. What a ridiculous image. I hope someone trampled him. The only reason it's my #99 and not my #100 is because at least, in a perfect world where this wasn't whored out like the prized prostitute of the 2006 music industry, it might have gotten the opportunity to grow on me, unlike "You're Beautiful," which I know never would have done so. *This might be wrong, this was of course 11 years ago.
On the flip side, "My Love" is one of those cases where I actually grew to somewhat tolerate the song as I got older. "Chasing Cars" has only gotten worse as the years fly by. Yeah but how do you feel about Sara Bareilles? But to actually answer the question, extremely indifferent. I like three songs from her, the rest are decent, meh, or I don't know them at all.

I don't care what year they peaked in, I care what year they show up in first, just because repetition is boring

^ Jesus, not even Miles had that long of a rant. XD. That's because I can put together cohesive arguments with rational reasons to not like a song. :sip2: So you want rational reasons? Fine, here's why I don't like London Bridge: -The song is completely loud and obnoxious. How can we have fun with this song, when every other second, it feels like someone is shouting at you, both Fergie and the background singers? -Fergie has the most obnoxious voice in all of the #1s this year. This style has never worked for her back then, and still not now. She tries to go for this "bitchy voice" approach, but it just does not work. It doesn't help that she's actually a good singer, both from BEP, and her solo career, with Glamarous & Big Girls Don't Cry. -The lyrics are horrendous, from all of Fergies verses, to the chorus. Also, this is yet another song to use nursery rhymes for no reason, and yet, this does it worse than Chain Hang Low, because, out of all metaphors for sex, WHY CHOOSE LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN?! -The background voices shouting "Oh s###". This also adds salt to the whole obnoxiousness of the song, especially when it's almost after EVERY VERSE. I tried to explain all that I can. Everything, other than it sucks and it's annoying. So there's my argument.

Thought this was going to go out much earlier and the first to go in the top ten. This song kept defying expectations. So, basically, it's my #2 vs. my #22, my #25, my #30, my #33, and my #44. This will not end well. oh, p p p p erfect sc c c c ore Eh, close enough. :kii:

Omg the bottom half of the Top 10 has gone perfectly for me. Now I just need "Crazy" to go next and the Top 5 will be perfect.
