Hi everyone and welcome to my very first rankdown as co-host! Some of you may know of my love for Dance music. Calvin Harris has been one of my favorite DJs whom I have followed since the very beginning - yes, before he even lifted, bro. Naturally, his sound has progressed with time and changed with the trends. I won't deny that early Calvin is far and beyond superior for me than is current Calvin. But he remains a huge favorite, despite his questionable taste in women. But that's for another rankdown.
This rankdown is all about the gems that Adam Richard Wiles has bestowed upon the world. He hasn't spent five years atop Forbes' highest paid DJ's list for nothing. We'll be ranking Calvin's singles, Calvin-produced tracks and Calvin's remixes. I am honored and excited to be co-hosting this rankdown with none other than fellow Calvin-obsessed poster and Pulse icon Juan Carlos .
Calvin Harris Singles We’ve selected Calvin’s 34 singles as released internationally, including his appearances as a featured artist. This does not include promotional or abandoned singles.
1. Acceptable in the 80s 2. The Girls 3. Merrymaking at My Place 4. Dance Wiv Me 5. I'm Not Alone 6. Ready for the Weekend 7. Flashback 8. You Used to Hold Me 9. Bounce 10. Feel So Close 11. We Found Love 12. Off the Record 13. Let's Go 14. We'll Be Coming Back 15. Sweet Nothing 16. Drinking from the Bottle 17. I Need Your Love 18. Thinking About You 19. Under Control 20. Summer 21. Blame 22. Outside 23. Open Wide 24. Pray to God 25. How Deep Is Your Love 26. This Is What You Came For 27. Hype 28. My Way 29. Slide 30. Heatstroke 31. Rollin 32. Feels 33. Faking It 34. Nuh Ready Nuh Ready

What to Rank: Because of Calvin’s greatness, we’ve broken his discography up into three categories: Calvin Harris Singles, Songs Produced by Calvin Harris and Calvin Harris Remixes. You may rank the songs in all three categories or just one or two, if you so choose. Results will be revealed concurrently. We hope you’ll participate in all three. All in all, its only a total of 75 songs. Lessons learned from previous rankdowns dictate that we specify: the 3 categories are to be ranked separately and not together as one list.
How to Rank: If you’re reading this, you’re likely no stranger to the process but just in case: Listen to the selected songs and then rank them in order of your preference 1 being your favorite and working your way down numerically to your least favorite. Please be sure to rank every song. And remember, the three categories are each their own rankdown and results will be presented simultaneously. No ties allowed. PM your lists to Albie and Juan Carlos .
How its Scored: As is standard, we will use an inverse point system. We will then add up all of the points and the song with the most points wins. We will reveal the songs from least favorite to most favorite. If there is a tie, the highest individual ranking will be used as the tiebreaker. If after that, there is still a tie, the second highest individual ranking will be used as the tiebreaker and so on.
When its Due: Wednesday, March 28. We’ll be sure to remind you of deadline as it approaches. As an important note, please be sure to listen to songs you don’t know so as to give them as fair a chance as possible.

Oh so this is what the first co host rankdown is! Well, technically not. Just the first co-host rankdown that hosted by two members on Pulse where both are active (and one isn't banned).

Open Wide better not be last... You might not do as poorly as you think then =) But some of my bottom 5 could be in the top 5. I already have a good sense of how my list could be. But I am ready to get pleasantly surprised or even disappointed.
