This, my friends, is how to do a cover. I really enjoy the Everly Brothers original, but a-ha put their own spin on the song, and it works remarkably well.

This sounds very "pre-Renaissance Disney soundtrack"

While the song at #17 does not have one of the ten highest standard deviations, it might as well be one, so we're going to preview it like it is one. Half of the rankdown had to go and put this in their top half, and five posters needed to go a step further and rank it top ten. There are only two top fives to be found, but BOTH are high. One is even a #1. Five bottom tens and three bottom fives pushed back, however, with someone even sticking a #40 on it. Oh, and someone will *finally* become the first person that isn't the host to clear their bottom ten.

There were two choices for this artist, but it was difficult to justify placing the other song in this rankdown, because we've ranked it many times before, and it has won at least one rankdown before...so I decided to roll with a song that I haven't seen as much in rankdowns. Sorry, "Fantasy". Your time may come soon enough, though...
Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, maine...and my condolences, Albie. This is awkward.

#16 sees something that hasn't happened in a little while. This song came VERY close to being the first song to spend every movement in the top half, but a lone wolf in the second half of the rankdown made sure that did not happen. It also spent a single movement in the top ten closer to the middle of the rankdown.
Half of the rankdown will, again, lose a top half ranking, and seven posters will also watch a top ten cross over. Just one poster will lose a top ten, however, and it's not a high top five. Just two posters will also lose a bottom ten, but both are bottom fives. One is one of the last remaining #40s.

There are very few songs that exist in this universe that I would turn to for a quick pick-me-up more than this one. Another one of those songs is also in this rankdown, but, for now, let's reveal one of the most sublime pop songs of the 1970's.

Here comes a big one, albeit on the lower end of things. #15 will bring us the last of the three lowest standard deviations this rankdown has to offer, specifically the second lowest. This song actually struggled to stay in the top half, spending chunks of the rankdown both in and out of the top half. It finally settled into the top half for good after the halfway point.
More than half of the rankdown had a top half blast with this track, though just three posters had even more fun and went top ten because of it. Someone will still lose a top five here, and it's one that they have been expecting to lose for a while. The reason this song's SD isn't even lower may be because of its two bottom tens. We'll see just the third bottom ten clearance here, as well, around 2/3 of the way into the rankdown.

I had a hunch that this might do what "Come Into My Head" couldn't. Though I like a couple of songs by her a little more, this felt like the most accessible of the songs I could have used for this rankdown. Judging by this song's performance, I probably made the right decision.
Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, rowellfarm490.

Ready for a wild stretch to close the penultimate set? #14 only spent a couple of movements outside of the top half, around the middle. but though it came very close to making the top ten at least once, it couldn't quite get there, eventually falling off the pace and ending up here.
Thirteen more top half rankings will shake their heads in disappointment, with four top tens shaking their heads a little more. Two top fives will bow their heads, and we'll see a #1 dig their head deep into the sand. What helped to keep this song out of the top ten? It may be because of the nine bottom 15s and five bottom tens this song received.

#13 brings us two important facts. The first is that we have finally encountered the first song to spend every movement in the top half. The second is that this is another song that, although it doesn't have a high standard deviation, it definitely came close to having one.
Thirteen top half rankings will vanish after the reveal of #13, with more than half of those rankings vanishing extra quickly. Three top fives will also depart, including another #1. Four bottom tens will not vanish particularly quickly, though, including two low bottom fives.

The two songs that just missed out on the top ten were both big-time top ten contenders. How much of a contender was #12? It was literally in or around the top ten for almost the entire rankdown. It spent a sizable amount of time in the bottom half of the top ten, only to find itself on the outside looking in late.
The lowest top half total remaining (12) will see this song out, but seven of those top half rankings are top tens, and three of those top tens are pretty high top fives. We'll see yet another #1 fall to the ground, too. Three bottom tens helped to make sure that this song would not be sticking around for the top ten, though, including one of the last two #40s.

Honestly, even though I know what's being revealed next and what was revealed before it, this is actually the song I'm most upset to see miss the top ten. I was about to say, "Maybe I should have put it in the first Pop rankdown instead of her other song there", but it probably would have fared worse there, soooooo...
Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, peacebone...and my condolences, Leo ✔. Foiled again.

So, what song had the misfortune of missing the top ten by a little more than ten points? This song has fourteen top half rankings, five top fives, and at least one #1. It also has a couple of bottom ten clearances.
