Which is interesting, because when you go to use their chart search page, the Coldplay-only version is the one that pops up for Alt. And they do have listings for the Coldplay and Jay-Z version, but for the Hot 100 and Digital Sales.

If it's so, rank either version would do then

No gimmicks or references this time. Just a reminder. Well, and another thing: There is a chance (a chance) that this does not start on time tomorrow night. If it doesn't, there will be a brief period where late submissions will be allowed. This is not a certainty, though, so don't count on this happening and wait until after the deadline to submit.
24 HOURS UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

Re: "Lost", use whichever one you want to rank lower because I wanna see this song out early

"Lost" is one of my least liked songs from Coldplay.

Are we to rank strictly the version of Lost! with Jay-Z? Good question, and, honestly, one that I'm hard pressed to answer, though it's mainly because of things that I'm discovering beyond this question. What's interesting to me is that I'm not really seeing where the Jay-Z version charted on Alt, and it doesn't really specify that it's the Jay-Z version when I look to see where this charted and at what point. I'd say that you can rank either version, personally, so feel free to rank whichever version you want to rank. (And to be fair, I don't think that the Jay-Z version changes the song THAT much. It's pretty much the same song, just with a Jay-Z verse.) This. That's the version that popped up on Youtube. Saw it. Hated it, and you can guess the outcome of that song?

Idk, I've just always felt that adding a rapper to a song that initially didn't need it can drag it down for me. Same goes for removing a rapper who was originally on the song, even if I'm not a big fan of the original. But that's just me.

I underranked one song in particular, but that artist has a much better song coming in 2008 and this song will probably make it Top 10 anyways, and I don't want to see it that high

Anyone up for some questions before the deadline? (Warning: There are a lot of them. And no, you don't have to answer all of them. )
- What songs do you think will be in the top ten? (If you want to take a stab at the #1, feel free to do so)
- What songs do you think will be in the bottom ten? (If you want to take a stab at the #100, feel free to do so)
- What songs will have the highest standard deviation?
- What songs will have the lowest standard deviation?
- What bands and artists do you expect to do well?
- What bands and artists do you expect to not do so well? (Besides Nickelback)
BAND-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS: - What Kings of Leon song will be the highest? - What Offspring song will be the second highest? - What U2 song will be the highest? - Which Green Day song will be higher, "Know Your Enemy" or "21 Guns"? - Which Coldplay song will be higher, "Life in Technicolor II" or "Lost!"? - Which Franz Ferdinand song will be higher, "No You Girls" or "Ulysses"?

Just got home from a 5 days school trip and in the week before I had like 3 tests so I had no time to do rankdowns which means I'll sadly be passing on this one, it's the first Alt rankdown I missed except the 2016 rankdown. I only listened to around 10 songs from the list but I guess I'll listen to the songs when they will be revealed. Savior would've been my #1 again probably with Uprising at the top 3, but Panic Switch & Decode are amazing too and had a shot at being my #1. I hope 21 Guns will do well for a Green Day song because it's great.
Please tag me on the results Red!

- What songs do you think will be in the top ten? (If you want to take a stab at the #1, feel free to do so) "Savior" (#1, but I'd take anything else on the list over it), "Use Somebody", "Panic Switch", "Help I'm Alive", "Sex on Fire", "Feel Good Drag", and "Uprising" I'm sure are in the top 10. I'm a bit uncertain about the other three..."Decode", "Kids", "You're Gonna Go Far Kid", "New Divide", "Second Chance", "Sometime Around Midnight", "Jars", and "Spaceman" all seem possible too (they're definitely in the top 20).
- What songs do you think will be in the bottom ten? (If you want to take a stab at the #100, feel free to do so) Both Hollywood Undead songs ("Undead" will be #100), "Hate My Life", "Something in Your Mouth", "Scream", the "Lollipop" cover, "Whiskey Hangover" for sure. "In This City", "Lifeline", "Sinner", "Burn It to the Ground", "My Turn", and one or both of the Saving Abel songs all seem possible as well.
- What songs will have the highest standard deviation? "Fireflies", "Get on Your Boots", and "That's Not My Name" all seem to me like they'll definitely have high SDs. I also think "Something in Your Mouth" will have the highest SD in the bottom 10 (mostly bottom 10 rankings for it, but James, Dr. Indie and possibly dm2081 will all rank it high), and I could see the "Careless Whisper" cover and "Ghost Town" having high SDs.
- What songs will have the lowest standard deviation? "Undead", "Lollipop"
- What bands and artists do you expect to do well? Kings of Leon, Rise Against, Offspring, Green Day, Paramore
- What bands and artists do you expect to not do so well? (Besides Nickelback) Hollywood Undead, Disturbed
BAND-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS: - What Kings of Leon song will be the highest? "Use Somebody" - What Offspring song will be the second highest? "Half-Truism" - What U2 song will be the highest? "Magnificent" - Which Green Day song will be higher, "Know Your Enemy" or "21 Guns"? "21 Guns" - Which Coldplay song will be higher, "Life in Technicolor II" or "Lost!"? "Lost!" - Which Franz Ferdinand song will be higher, "No You Girls" or "Ulysses"? "No You Girls"

I should of asked about which version of "Lost!" to rank. Since the Jay-Z version was listed I used that, but it didn't do so well. The original is great though.

The original version is among my favorite songs of theirs and would have made my top 10, but I ranked the Jay-Z remix (whose verse doesn't fit at all imo) and it consequently landed a bit lower on my list.

- What songs do you think will be in the top ten? (If you want to take a stab at the #1, feel free to do so) "Savior" is a lock.

- What songs do you think will be in the bottom ten? (If you want to take a stab at the #100, feel free to do so) Hate My Life. Hate My Life is going to be #100.
- What songs will have the highest standard deviation? Fireflies for sure, and That's Not My Name
- What songs will have the lowest standard deviation? Savior, guaranteed.
- What bands and artists do you expect to do well? The usual suspects.
- What bands and artists do you expect to not do so well? (Besides Nickelback) The usual suspects.
BAND-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS: - What Kings of Leon song will be the highest? Use Somebody. - What Offspring song will be the second highest? Half-Truism. - What U2 song will be the highest?

- What songs do you think will be in the top ten? (If you want to take a stab at the #1, feel free to do so) "Savior", "Uprising", "Panic Switch", and "Feel Good Drag" are locks. "Use Somebody" is one I can see making the Top 10, but not sure if people will tank it because of popularity.
- What songs do you think will be in the bottom ten? (If you want to take a stab at the #100, feel free to do so) "Get On Your Boots", "Something In Your Mouth", "This City", "Sinner", "Young", "Whiskey Hangover", "Hate My Life"
- What songs will have the highest standard deviation? I got nothing.
- What songs will have the lowest standard deviation? "Savior", "Get On Your Boots"
- What bands and artists do you expect to do well? Rise Against, Anberlin, Kings of Leon (they may miss Top 10 with all three, but Top 20 with them is an easy bet)
- What bands and artists do you expect to not do so well? (Besides Nickelback) NO Hollywood Undead, Coldplay
BAND-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS: - What Kings of Leon song will be the highest? "Use Somebody" probably.
- What Offspring song will be the second highest? "Kristy, Are You Doing Okay?"
- What U2 song will be the highest? "Magnificent"
- Which Green Day song will be higher, "Know Your Enemy" or "21 Guns"? "21 Guns"
- Which Coldplay song will be higher, "Life in Technicolor II" or "Lost!"? "Life in Technicolor II"
- Which Franz Ferdinand song will be higher, "No You Girls" or "Ulysses"? "No You Girls"

I may have to take you up on that...I was re-listening to stuff for Active 2009, and there's a good bit I've changed between the two. ...buuut I might just get lazy and not feel like re-organizing what I've already sent (and I don't want to put more work on you). Depends on how bored I get tonight. Also, how much money do I have to pay for Use Somebody to not make the top ten?

Only one song in my Top 10 I know I'm going to lose early (probs bottom 10). There's another in there I'm not sure how far it can go. It's by an artist that has done poorly with some tracks, or in the middle with their others, but this one is their best song imo. Actually, I'm thinking this certain song should far exceed my expectations. I may be wrong, but I think this is Green Baron 's #1? There's one other song I can see it being, and it could very well be that, but this certain one is easily in his Top 3. ETA: It is not.

There are three veteran bands on here that I normally rank low, even though y'all love them (well, one isn't as loved, but they've had success). One of them actually made my Top 40, one fell just short of my Top 75 (progress!), while the other one couldn't escape my bottom 5. If "Panic Switch" is the one in the bottom 5 we're all gonna call for your head

This is it: The last reminder before the deadline. If you haven't submitted by this point, I'd recommend doing so now, if you plan to. If you're looking to edit your list, I'd REALLY recommend doing it now. Once the deadline passes, edits will not be allowed.
ONE HOUR UNTIL THE DEADLINE.
