I wish I had thought to include this in the 80's rankdown. Maybe it wouldn't have finished bottom ten there...though, given how brutal of a rankdown that was, maybe not.
At any rate, my condolences, Doc Indie Party Rock.

#35 brings us another high standard deviation, this time the fourth highest. All of this song's six top half rankings are top tens, half belonging in the top five. Multiple posters are also losing their first top ten. There are no shortage of low rankings for this song, however, with eleven bottom tens and eight bottom fives blasting this song into the bottom ten.

Kind of figured that this would be low. I did not think this song would receive the most #40s. And yet, here we are.
By the way, two spoilers: Yes, there will be another pop rankdown. And there will be another Annie song in it. I have a hunch that song will do ever so slightly better.

#34 is our first song to spend time outside of the bottom ten *after* the first half of the rankdown. It also spent a brief moment in the top half. One ranking, in particular, WRECKED this song, however, and pushed it into the bottom ten for good.
Ten bottom tens will send #34 away, though less than half are bottom fives. We'll also see nine top half rankings vanish, and though just two are top tens, someone will lose their first here. And yes, if I'm talking about the top rankings second, then you know what's coming: Another #1 loss.

For some reason I'm not actually surprised this ended up bottom 10. But among all the really old-school material I thought it would last a little longer.

Another one. #33 brings us the ninth highest standard deviation, and it carries with it four top tens and two top fives. Both of the top fives are losing their first top ten. These rankings are offset by nine bottom tens, five bottom fives, and a couple more #40s.

Did you think some of these reveals were pretty big? Well, you haven't seen anything yet. #32 gives us the highest standard deviation of the entire rankdown. Yes, already. Ten bottom tens and seven bottom fives (most of them low) handed this song its final ruling, but nine top halves and six top tens will be less fortunate. In fact, all but one of those top tens are top fives, and we will see, thankfully, the last #1 loss of the set.

This was going to be another song, but it had been recently included in a rankdown, so I wanted to give another song a chance. It just so happens that I like this one a little more than the song it replaced. I imagine it would have had less pronounced support than this song, too.
My condolences, maine.

#31, mercifully, returns us to the land of more middling standard deviations to close the first set. This song spent most of the first half of the rankdown safely outside of the bottom ten, though it eventually fell all the way into the bottom five. It made a bit of a comeback, hovering in and out of the bottom ten late.
Nine more top half rankings have to leave, though just three top tens are escaping this time. Someone will lose a top five after having a pretty good reveal last time. Seven bottom tens will also make a break for it, and though just two are bottom fives, one of those bottom fives is pretty low.

Her worst ever performance in the Journey series. Honestly, even though I love this song dearly, it's probably my least-favorite of the songs I've featured, so...yeah.

Yeah if that would have been virtually any other BSB song from that era, I would have undoubtedly had it top 20.
Though I'm a little surprised to have BSB at #40 but it was easier to do so because it was Everybody.
