Mine currently looks like this: 5 | 10 | 14 | 46 | 93...so yeah, not having as much luck as you are.
#5 was actually #1 VERY recently...as in, this was the #1 before the last couple of rankings were submitted. I was so disappointed when those last couple of rankings came in, because I desperately wanted to see this song shock everyone and take the #1 spot. Outside of two outlier rankings, everyone ranked this song in their top 40, with nine of those rankings being top 25 rankings, six of those rankings being top ten rankings, and four of those rankings being top five rankings.

At this point I'm convinced that the Active rankdowns are nothing more than a place where Alt songs place higher due to the easier competition.

Also noteworthy about this reveal: Not one, but TWO P-P-P-P-PERFECT RANKINGS! Good job, Green, we did it.
...
Wait, that means that we no longer have a top five in this rankdown (and you, a top ten). Womp womp.5

Alright, guys...here we go. It's time for the great mystery of this rankdown to be solved. #4 is just one point ahead of #5, with all but one poster ranking this song in their top 40, all but two posters ranking this song in their top 20, four posters ranking this song in their top ten, and one poster ranking this song in their top five. If that other ranking didn't exist, this song would have one of the lowest standard deviations in the entire rankdown (and, indeed, in rock chart rankdown history), and it likely would have challenged for or even won this rankdown, despite only having one top five ranking. But that other ranking does exist, and that other ranking is my #93. What song is it? Only peacebone knows for sure...

Also, another reason why this is so obvious because Red's rankings for three of the four remaining songs were already revealed in the 2009 Alt rankdown, and none of them were bottom 10. That, of course, leaves the other one, so yeah, I'm 99.99999999999% sure I'm right.

It's not.
What I love about this is that Green was SO SURE that this was "Re-Education". But really, think about it: I was the lowest ranking for this song in the 2009 Alt rankdown. I was the lowest ranking for this song in this rankdown by a mile. I'm kind of amazed that no one really figured it out.
For the record, I listen to every single song when I'm revealing that song in every single rankdown that I host. This is the only song that I actively grew to loathe after listening to it again for that reason. And yes, I am ecstatic that I prevented this garbage song from being higher.
I told you you wouldn't like it.4

I was so sure I was right. I felt so smart about this one. This is gonna hurt for a while, to be so wrong on something that felt so right.
For the record, I would rather "Re-Education" be the #93. It's easily the worser song.

I mean, at least I was right about WHY peacebone would know it. But to miss out on the actual song? This feels worse than when Leo single-handedly prevented my #2 and #1 from being top 10.

While Green has his existential crisis, we have to move on to the top three and #3. #3 wound up being five points ahead of "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid", and the main reason why that's the case will not be hard to understand when the song is revealed. After all, every single person ranked this song in their top 50. EVERY SINGLE POSTER. Nine posters ranked this song in their top 25, five people ranked this song in their top ten, two people ranked this song in their top five, and one person even ranked this song #1. We know now that janinho and (amazingly) Doc are the last two posters with a #1 remaining. Who will see their #1 make the top two?

Impressed with this song's performance, even if it's not one of my favorites, and it wound up coming up just two spots short. Also, kind of amazed this wound up having the sixth-lowest standard deviation, honestly.
And though it wasn't meant to be, Doc Indie Party Rock, I'm sure that it's nice to have your #1 song be in the top three, right? Unlike, you know, my #1...I'm still a little bitter, I'll admit it.3

And then, there were two. Who will take this rankdown's top spot? Will it be the defending Active champion, or will it be the "plucky upstart" that is finally seeing legitimately huge success in these rankdowns? Here's what I can tell you about the two songs in question without spoiling anything:
- One of these two songs has the last #1 ranking. (Duh.) - The top two songs have eleven top ten rankings between them. - Neither song has a ranking below the top 50. - One of the two songs was in every single top ten ranking. The other wasn't far off. - What, ultimately, decided this matchup was that more posters ranked one of the songs pretty high, whereas the other song did have a handful of "meh" rankings.
See you guys in a few minutes!

Another thing that I forgot to mention that I thought was implied: Both of these songs have a low standard deviation. One of these songs has been there before...and that's the song that finished second.2

wooooaah okay
Always nice to have a surprise winner, at least. I thought "New Divide" was running away with this, especially with how low its SD was on Alt.

Excuse me?You don't like the song (or Mastodon, really), you do you. But "Oblivion" is one of the most melodious songs they have ever made. That's not debatable. Maybe he should listen to The Wolf is Loose maybe I should just go listen to "Pyromania" "Take It To The Limit" and "Out Of The Cellar" , cuz that's the rock I like most.
