I was going to ask Pulse's resident historian, Red , to give a quick preview of the top 10, but with him not feeling so well I will give it a go. It won't be as good but here's a synopsis of the top 10 Active Rock songs of 2017! -The Foo Fighters are in the top 10 for the 15th time total and 9th time for the Active Rankdowns. Their song "Run" was in the Alternative 2017 rankdown where it finished in 16th so its already performed better here. How far will it be able to go? The Foo Fighters have already won 5 Rock Rankdowns: 3 Alternative (The Pretender-2008, Rope-2011, Something from Nothing-2015) and 2 Active (Rope-2011, These Days-2012). Will "Run" put the Foo Fighters back in title contention? -Ghost makes the top 10 for a 3rd time. Their song "Square Hammer" made the top 10 in last year's Active rankdown where it finished in 5th. Will it do even better this time around? -Highly Suspect doubles up in the top 10 increasing their total to 5 top 10s with 4 of these being in Active Rankdowns. This band has won a rankdown before with "Lydia" in Active 2015. Both "Little One" and "My Name Is Human" were in the Alternative 2017 Rankdown where they finished in 15th and 19th, respectively. So both have already done better here. "My Name Is Human" was in last year's Active Rankdown where it was the runner-up. Will this song do better or worse this time around? -Nine Inch Nails are in their very first top 10 with "Less Than". This song finished at #27 in the Alternative 2017 rankdown. It has already improved quite a bit in position but its looking for more. How deep into the top 10 will NIN be able to go? -Nothing More are in their 2nd top with the song "Go to War". They were previously in the top 10 during the Active 2014 Rankdown with "This Is the Time (Ballast) which finished in 7th. Will "Go to War" be able to do better? -Rise Against are back in the top 10 for the 9th time overall and 6th time on Active. They've won 3 times before once on Alternative (Savior-2010) and twice on Active (Re-Education (Through Labor)-2009, Savior-2010). Will their song "The Violence, which finished at #21 in the Alternative 2017 rankdown, put Rise Against back in title contention? -Royal Blood are in the top 10 for an 8th time overall and 5th time on Active with the song "Lights Out". "Lights Out" was in the Alternative 2017 rankdown where it finished in 14th being the very first time Royal Blood missed the top 10 in one of these. This band's best performance was in the Active 2014 rankdown where they finished in 2nd with "Figure It Out". will "Lights Out" be able to do as well? -Stone Sour make their 4th top 10 with "Song #3". Their best performance was with Zzyzx Rd. which finished runner-up in Active 2008. What song number will "Song #3" achieve in this rankdown? -Last but not least, Thrice are back in the top 10 for a 2nd time. They made the top 10 in last year's Active rankdown with "Black Honey", which finished in 6th. Will "Hurricane" get Thrice into the top 5 this go around? We will be starting shortly! :)

Starting off tonight at #10 is a song that appeared in the Alternative 2017 rankdown. This song barely made the top 10 just edging out "Let You Down" by 4 points. It made its first entry into the top 10 after the midpoint of the game. Somebody loses their #1 here. 5 other top 5s as well as 3 more top 10s are lost in this reveal. Of note was that this song had 18 top 40 rankings which is the fewest for any song in the top 10.
Song's progress over time: 32-21-15-13-8-13-16-17-19-17-16-14-9-8-10-9-8-8-9-11-11-11-12-10-10

Royal Blood just manages to keep their top 10 streak alive...for the Active rankdowns at least. My condolences, morneaumispelled .

This deserves nowhere near the Top 10.
Generic af.
I should have left this in my 80s like I originally had it until I decided to be nice.

Definitely my least favorite Royal Blood single to date. Generic chorus, but still a rocking song.

At #9 is another song that was featured in the Alternative 2017 Rankdown. The song at hand ended up with the 17th lowest standard deviation. This one was hanging around in the teens for most of the way. Then after the last Ballot Update it surged ahead finding itself in the top 10 for the very first time. This is the first of 3 songs in the top 10 without a #1 ranking. It received just 8 top 10 rankings though 4 of these were top 5s. Notably 25 out of the 26 of us placed this song in our top 50 which is a rankdown high. Its only rank in the bottom half was a bottom 20.
Song's progress over time: 41-30-25-21-18-16-18-24-24-20-17-17-18-17-15-15-16-16-16-15-12-10-9-9-9

Coming in at #8 is a band that made the top 10 in the Active 2016 Rankdown. This song had the 19th highest standard deviation of the game. 5 people ranked this song at #1 which is the most for any song in the rankdown. It received 3 more top 5s along with 3 other top 10 rankings. Killing this song's chances at finishing higher were its 5 bottom 50s which is the most for any song in the top 10. And 2 of these were bottom 30s...
Song's progress over time: 22-16-18-16-11-10-12-10-10-9-8-8-13-15-11-11-15-12-11-8-8-8-6-7-8

Finishing at #7 is the first of 3 songs that were able to stay within the top 10 during the entire submission process. This band's follow up single is currently charting on Active Rock. This song was in 2nd place midway through and held this position over 13 consecutive ballots. 2 people lose their #1 in this reveal. 2 more posters lose a top 5 along with 5 others who lose a top 10. Sinking this song was its 3 bottom 40 rankings.
