Some things to note:
1. "Mein Herz brennt" by Rammstein will be excluded from the rankdown. This is because its rating is likely due to most users rating as if it was the original, when in fact the single page is actually a piano version that was released during that year. The original was actually released in 2001, which would have been marked as an archive. Its replacement is "Latch" by Disclosure ft. Sam Smith.
2. "Grot" by St. Vincent will be ranked over its A-side "Krokodil". (0.18 rating difference)

Due date: Sunday, May 12, 2024 (5 weeks from today).

I love how Latch barely made this list. I doubt that it will win on this one, but it’s nice to see it on here. Now I actually recognize more songs than usual on this list and like the ones that I do recognize. I haven’t done one of these yet but it may be a possibility.

These lists are always pretty high quality obviously, but I feel like this year in particular was very strong. One of those lists where I have stuff in my bottom 10 that I feel bad about.

#1-9: 9/10
#10-51: 8/10
#52-84: 7/10
#85-95: 6/10
#96-97: 5/10
#98-100: 4/10

I was going through all the rankdown threads for my winners archive project, so now is a good time for another reminder. 11 days left! Thanks wrip, Dinosaur Encyclopedia, and wheatsquares33 for sending!
