BTW... My 95 may not be the only top 10 contender in my bottom 10... I feel like at least 3 of them could make the top 10. It's Kings Of Leon isn't it? :sip2:

wait a sec I just realized in the Discord server that some people will be tanking my #1, and that's not good at all :( If that song won't make the top 10 here, I'm gonna be so damn salty. There's a Pulse Discord server?

We're posting in a different font, and you know what that means...JUST WANNA STAY UP AND DO THIS BALLOT UPDATE! It's time for the rock chart rankdown version of the B-B-B-B-BALLOT UPDATE! Now, you thought the last two groups of posters who submitted rankings were crazy and controversial? ...well, they were, but this one is a little more diverse in terms of the "type" of poster that they are: crazyb, deepston, and rainie are the participants who helped to shape this ballot update. (American Idiot will be the first ranking used for the next update.) Is it as crazy and as chaotic as the previous updates? Eh...not really, but there's still some fun to be had!
- What once looked like a horse race has turned into a blowout quickly for the current #1, which was able to stay put at the top of the ranking and was never seriously challenged. In fact, the #2 song is now closer to the #3 song than it is #1. To put things into perspective, #1 now holds a 100+ point lead over #2. #2, meanwhile, holds almost a 100 point lead over #3. - Where things get interesting is at #3. A perennial top ten contender entered the top three for the first time this update, but it holds a slim lead over #4: Eleven points. #5, #6, and #7 wish that they could have that "slim" of a lead, though, as all three songs are separated by two points. - How tight is things in the top ten? Outside of the above example, #5 is just eight points clear of #8, #8 is only ten points ahead of #9, #9 is less than ten points ahead of #10, and #10 is just ten points ahead of #11. So while the theme of this ballot update was "stasis", one ranking could rattle that "stasis" mighty quick. (Oh, and #10 is the last song to have been in every top ten.) - My favorite fact of this ballot update: One person ranked a song in their top five that another person placed in their bottom five. It feels like every song has at least one hater, at this point. Another fun fact: There's a surprisingly large gap between #61 and #62, with #61 being nearly 100 points clear of #62. - The four songs that have been in every bottom ten are still in the bottom ten. Three of the four songs are in much better shape than the other, but all three of the "much better shape" songs are still not really close to escaping the bottom ten just yet. - Threshold update time! #1 just became the first song to cross the 2500 point barrier, while nine songs have reached 2200 points. All but fifteen songs have reached 1000 points, and all but two are over 600. - One song STILL hasn't reached the 500 point mark, and that, of course, is #100. #100 is now four and a half rankings behind #90. What's more, #99 is closer to #98 than it is #100. It's going to be a difficult hill to climb for #100... - There's a song that I haven't been talking about much, but its story is very much worth talking about. For much of the rankdown, this particular song was in the bottom 40, but a surge of high rankings helped push this song into the top 40, before it was just pushed out of the top 40 at the end of this update. Even still, it's a nice comeback for a song that was struggling mightily early. - And what would a ballot update be without Pulse's Favorite Part of the Ballot Update...
As has been the case often lately, there are not a lot of ties (mostly songs just being close to one another), but there are still SOME ties to be found. Those ties are at #49, #71, and #81.

Unlike last time, we're doing the tagging a few hours early because I'm probably not going to be here much tonight and I want to make sure this tagging happens tonight. Also, if I'm not mistaken, we're one ranking away from another ballot update...a ballot update that probably won't be posted until tomorrow, but a ballot update all the same!
(a little more than) 48 HOURS UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

There's a Pulse Discord server? I don't even know what that is, but it would be a crying shame if your #1 song is a "commercial jingle" in disguise.

Yeah, Discord servers are apparently God's greatest gift to Earth, they're so revolutionary he should feel honored just by having it brought up.

"Something Just Like This" is not even an Alt song. It has no Alt merits even worth defending. On its own, it's an awful song anyways, so hopefully it'll be out soon. Not like any song that mentions Spider-Man and Batman in a serious manner could ever induce any positivity towards it.

I don’t care if it’s alt or not it’s still a good song nonetheless in my opinion.

Do you actually think I ranked that piece of trash in the top 90? Yes, based on the fact that you insinuated as much and that I don't know you from Adam.

I ranked SJLT in the middle (around 40's I believe) because I enjoyed the song but is not an alt song.

We're posting in a different font, and you know what that means...GIVE ME THAT BALLOT UPDATE, I WANT IT, THAT BALLOT UPDATE! It's time for the rock chart rankdown version of the B-B-B-B-BALLOT UPDATE! Not only does this rankdown feature three different posters (American Idiot, fearlessarrow, and Leo ✔; matteeeb will be the first poster featured in the next ballot update), it also features a couple of edits from posters who have already submitted rankings, with at least one edit making a big difference at one particular spot. But that's not to say the actual posters who submitted new rankings didn't have an impact, either...
- Oh, hey, remember the "horse race" that was turning into a blowout at the top? LOOKS LIKE HORSE RACE IS BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS (and girls)! Through the course of this ballot update, the #1 changed multiple times, with the edits ultimately helping the #1 from the last update reclaim the crown from the song at #2 at the very end of the update. How close is the race for the top spot right now? #1 is ONE point ahead of #2. And don't think that the horse race stops with the next update, as Zedd's ranking will keep things close... - Whereas #3 was "interesting" in the last update, one song moved into the #3 spot early in this update and has ruled over it with an iron fist, now over 60 points clear of #4. Said #4, though, is in much more of a dogfight, leading by just four points over #5. #6 is further back, nearly 30 points behind #5, but it also has its own problems to deal with, just three points clear of #7. - This is a big update for one key fact: The last song to have been in every top ten fell out early in this ballot update, meaning that there will be no song that pulls off the "every top ten" feat for the first time in any of the rankdowns that I've hosted. With the amount of people that have submitted, this fact is less surprising than you'd think, but it's still a little bittersweet to see that run end. - The four songs that have been in every bottom ten are still in the bottom ten. One of those four is inching ever so closer to escaping the bottom ten, though it's still more than a full ranking behind #90, so it will have a lot more work to do. The other three songs are back to being comfortably in the bottom five, with little hope of jumping out of the bottom ten, even with there still being time for that to change. - Threshold update time! The top two are the only songs above the 2600 point mark, but five songs have now eclipsed 2500 points, and nine have moved past 2400 points. All but eight songs have reached the 1000 point milestone, and another song should get there by the time the next ballot update concludes. - Though it has been #100 now for the last eleven rankings, #100 finally had some good news come its way toward the end of this update: The gap between it and #98 (not #99, #98) is less than a full ranking. There may be hope yet for this song to escape the very bottom... - A couple of perennial top ten contenders are starting to struggle big time, with one starting to get close to falling out of the top 25 for the first time, and another song just fell out of the top ten for the first time in a long time. - And what would a ballot update be without Pulse's Favorite Part of the Ballot Update...
Things are getting pretty sparse in terms of ties, but, thankfully, we did still have one tie, and it's dead set in the middle at #50.
