Don't call it predictable when everyone said Somebody Else was taking it Honestly, this. Not a single person thought "Feel It Still" was going to win. Literally everyone said "Somebody Else" when it was time, and almost everyone thought "Feel It Still" would die before the Top 5.

As I said in the PM with my rankings, "I know my #100 is probably a controversial pick. If it wins, it wins. But it just would not be accurate for me to have it anywhere else on this list." Glad Somebody Else managed to make it this far. Had it in my top 10 last year, but it burned on me so I lowered it to #20 this time around. Thanks Red for hosting!

Right around the one week point of this rankdown, I started to get worried about hosting it. By the 24 hour mark, I was freaking out. Over forty rankings to deal with, to put into the ranking, to figure out average ranks and standard deviations for. This was, easily, the most daunting task that I have ever faced as a rankdown host. And yet, now that we're at the finish line, this rankdown was...actually, kind of a breeze, all things considered. Once we got to the top 70, I was much more calm and relaxed. Even after the events of last night, I was still calm and relaxed about the rankdown itself. I don't know if that shows in the reveal posts, but, once I finished all of the work that had to be done for this rankdown, and with the help of Green Baron (RIP) and peacebone on the spreadsheet (which can be viewed here), this was a behemoth that I was able to slay without too much of my sanity being lost along the way.
You guys who submitted rankings and followed along were a big part of that, as well, because you definitely helped to calm things down for me by being a little crazier than me at times, but also by being fun to be around and, as per usual, a lot of fun to talk to while doing reveals. This was the hardest and toughest rankdown I've ever encountered, but all of you helped to make things a lot easier on me over the long run, and I can't thank all of you enough for that.
And with all of that having been said, here's to 2017! And may we never speak of 2017 again.

Literally everyone said "Somebody Else" when it was time, and almost everyone thought "Feel It Still" would die before the Top 5. Feel it Still would be predictable in terms of our votes alligning with the billboard charts since it was like the biggest alt hit last year (if including December) and also one of the biggest crossover pop hit. Whereas Somebody Else was a much smaller radio chart success and not be predictably alligned with radio programmers.

Somebody Else was in the top 10?!?! I would've rooted for that to win had I realized! One of the best songs of the year - and one of The 1975's best!
Feel It Still is alright for me. Good song, good winner. But meh when it beats that #2...

- ...though those changes are not really felt at the top. Yet. The previous #1 was the #1 song through all three rankings, which means that it holds on to its throne...for now. Boy, am I just alluding to the next ranking changing the #1 or what? #1 is currently nearly 30 points ahead of #2, but the real story is the separation that #1 has been able to accomplish beyond the top two. #1 is now almost 70 points ahead of #3 and over 100 points clear of #4. So, even if the next ranking were to tank it (and it doesn't, really), it wouldn't be able to knock it out of the top three. So this must mean I put the last #1 somewhere in my 40s or high 30s, and the new #1 in my top 5. Now that it's all over, did these two songs end up being the top 2, Red ? Or was it another pair.

The #1 in the ballot update before yours was "The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness", and the #1 after your ranking was "Tearing Me Up", so...you were correct.

completely missed the reveal but after the disappointment of seeing "System" out at #10 I was ready to watch the tankers win and give someone other than Feel It Still the crown. I was expecting it out at like #6 tbh considering all the people shading PtM this entire time (though maybe it was just Miles saying it every song and it confused me) so it winning was a massive surprise, especially over less polarizing songs like WIKY. "Feel It Still" may not be Portugal's best but the dudes deserve the crossover hit after 10 years grinding it out, I was so happy to see them break out this year. Had a blast following the many ups and downs of this rankdown, thanks as always for hosting Red !

6. Kill For Candy - Aww man, I really wanted this to be top 5, if not #1. Still fared a lot better here than on the actual Alt charts, though. 5. The Man - "Spaceman" couldn't make top 10 but this goes top 5? This one burned on me really hard, I thought it sounded pretty cool on first listen, but it just felt like a throwaway novelty track after a few listens, and it's pretty repetitive too. I'm here for "Run For Cover" performing well next year though. 4. Hard Times - I actually kind of liked this one at first, but it burned on me very quickly, and the "rock bottom" line definitely didn't help. Maybe I should have ranked it a little lower. 3. Don't Take The Money - Another song I wish I had ranked lower. The pre-chorus is annoying and the rest of the song isn't strong enough to make up for it. Definitely glad this and the two songs below it aren't #1, but all three way overstayed their welcome. 2. Somebody Else - It's a pretty solid song, definitely better than 3-5, but I still didn't expect or want it to be this high. 1. Feel It Still - I'm happy with this being #1. I didn't actually expect it due to the tankers, but I'm glad it got enough support for me to override them. A top 10 song for me, coming from a great band, and objectively it is the defining song of the year for Alternative (and arguably Pop as well). You could call it a "commercial jingle" if you like, but I feel they just made song that had all the qualities of a multi-format smash hit while still staying true to themselves. Congrats Portugal! And thanks Red... great job hosting the rankdown, especially considering the sheer number of rankers and the craziness that went down in this thread.

You did a fantastic job Red !! The amount of work you took on with 44 lists was colossal, and from the outside looking in, you seemed to handle it with ease! All the effort you put in from the Ballot Updates to the excitement you bring with each reveal is incredible!!! Thank you for being our host and congratulations on your 2017 Alternative Rankdown! Without further ado, here are the final closeness rankings, and WOW was it close with respect to the Pulse Rankdown. Only 2 points difference in ranking any given song separated the top 3. Congratulations to our victor!!! Final closeness rankings (Pulse Rankdown Chart): Final closeness rankings (Year-End Chart): Number of P-P-P-Perfect Rankings:

OH MY GOD I WON!!! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE I THOUGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS THAT I WOULD FAIL EPICLY BUT I GUESS NOT. It was really close so good job to you all. Also you did a really good job on the RD Red. It went pretty smoothly which is probably hard to do with 44 lists.

Once again Red kicks hits it out of the ballpark. Great hosting, great videos, and I love the few mins of anticipation before each song. This was probably one of the best top 10 in an Alt rankdown I have come across. Blows away the lame top 10 of the official alt lists.
