Almost thought this would be a filler song that wouldn't make it to the top half, but I did quite like it. Needless to say, very cool to see in the top 5!

I was certainly not expecting Tycho to make the top 4.

Unsurprising top 3 finish, but great song. My condolences, zippy.

which means....

I was a bit concerned this would be a bit obvious a winner, but it's a great song and the best fit for "this is why" in the script, so I won't complain. Congrats singingrulebritannia and aerodynamite !

I'm kind of sad that I had to root for the predictable winner in the end lol

[wheatsquares33]

Thank all of you for participating in this goofy ass rankdown that took me 3 months to finish. I brought this monster into the world, and more than anything I'm glad that I saw it through to the end and did my reveals, and I hope that those of you who participated had a good time with it.

I WILL be posting a new personal rankdown soon, probably over the next couple days, one that I've been very excited about doing for awhile, so stay tuned for that, I guarantee it'll be more coherent & consist of songs I know and like lol.

Thanks again!

I can't believe how little attention Where Are We Going? has received compared to Marvin Gaye's more well known songs. More people should hear it.

Yeah, I was certain that This Is Why would end up as the winner. Nonetheless, it's a song that only gotten better from repeated listens. Diamonds is not the runner-up I was expecting but it's really nice.

There were a bunch of robberies here but I expected it tbh. Say It was always a favorite from HIIAPL but also the whole album was so defining for me in 2019. In the end I’m glad we got a great winner! Might be basic but it’s great so I don’t mind.

Thanks for hosting wheat!
