There's two songs in that I had in mind as potential winners, but this was my dark horse. So, of course, it couldn't make the top five lol

[wrip]

this was a top 10 i was less confident on so i’m happy it made it this far!

The first couple of songs just outside of my top ten were so hard to leave out of the top ten.

I will admit that I ranked "Neighbours" ahead of this primarily because I thought it needed the help more. This nearly making the top five proved that theory quite right.

[wrip]

Hotseat is easily one of my favorite discoveries from March Madness last year, it legit goes so hard. I’m disappointed it just missed top 5!!

Protect My Energy

[Red]

I don't know why I was so concerned about this potentially missing the top ten, this was probably as much of a lock as "Protect My Energy" to make it.

Until you included it here, I was dangerously close to putting this in one of my own rankdowns. This was my #1, it's a song I've loved for a while now, and it's still growing on me.

[zippy]

Man, “Fever Dream” would have easily been among my top 3 ranks if it were submitted in Wintertime Madness (whichever seed).

{TOP TWO}Cleo
Protect My Energy

[Red]

To this point, the most I've liked a song from piri/Tommy.

[lyhom]

LITTLE SIMZ - PROTECT MY ENERGY vs. SHYGIRL - CLEO

- both songs spent time at #1
- eight people still have their #1 left, with two people having a chance at a perfect top two
- both songs have top five low SDs

what will win? find out whenever I finish the post

[zippy]

“soft spot” is not only one of my favorite discoveries from last year‘s Summertime Madness, but it has also inspired me to seek out more alternative R&B dance music.

thank you guys so much for sending! wasn't sure how this rankdown was going to fare so I'm glad that a lot of you seemed to enjoy it!

not entirely sure what my next rankdown will be, but it probably won't be a personal, and I've been particularly interested in making a rankdown series of a certain chart we've only done once before if that gets some interest 👀

[Red]

To be honest, I probably overranked "Cleo" a bit, but it's still really good.

"Protect My Energy" is great. I know, big shocker there.

lyhom, I offer you my sunnbrella as a thank you for hosting

[zippy]

I have spent time listening to Shygirl’s songs but not enough time listening to Little Simz. “Protect My Energy” is the best song I’ve heard from her yet.

[Mayman]

This top 2 is amazing. Thanks for hosting lyhom!
