Daryl says: I started to give this song a chance after it's chart run on Alternative, where it flopped unfairly. Great song.

"Killpop"
Slipknot
From: .5: The Gray Chapter
Points: 444

Daryl says: After the shitfest that was "Custer", Slipknot return to form with this single. I could've done without all the screaming, but Corey Taylor's vocals in the verses are haunting.

"Gravity"
Papa Roach
From: F.E.A.R.
Points: 447
Peak: 56
Daryl says: Despite Maria Brink's (uncredited) presence in the chorus, this song is actually better than FEAR. For instance, the rapping in the verses is a throwback to Papa's earlier music, and the lyrics are less clichéd.

"Lay Me Down"
Sam Smith
From: In the Lonely Hour
Points: 449
Peak: 45
Daryl says: Easily my least favorite from him. It's chart run was quite front-loaded, peaking after two weeks and spending only a total of twelve weeks. The song goes nowhere, but I still complement Smith's vocals. Good song, but he's made much better than this. I never charted "Like I Can", but that'll probably end up as an honorable mention.

"Kick the Dust Up"
Luke Bryan
From: Kill the Lights
Points: 460
Peak: 44
Daryl says: Bryan's second disappointing song on the list is an excuse for making 'fun' music with awkward lyrics like "let's tear it up up" and "knock knock knock goes the diesel", as well as other repetition of words. I really want to get behind Luke in this era, but the hidden gems on his album haven't been released yet. This is quite disappointing as I could get behind most of Luke Bryan's prior material. Hopefully Luke Bryan will deliver a better lead single the next time round.

Daryl says: Starting the second half of my countdown is my current #1 song. Has Adele ever disappointed ever? This song continues to disregard that theory, as this is so good. Really good songwriting and powerful vocals, especially the chorus.
