The lyrics to this one kinda... "speak" to me (see what I did there?) ;)
But as a whole this isn't a song that I like too much. And even though the overall theme of the song is one that is very relatable to me, some of the lines themselves are still kinda questionable, particularly the one at the end of the second verse.

Next up: the first player to lose a #1! 2 other players lose a top 15, while another player loses a bottom 3. Another relatively high standard deviation song, but far lower than Mean.

I get why the country fans like this as this is one of her most, if not her most country sounding singles from her country days. And while I do like the instrumentation on this song (it's definitely my favorite part of the song), those lyrics though...

RIP Kanenrake...
Next up: Nobody loses a bottom 3 or a top 10! (Two three actually lose a top 15 though, and quite a few lose a bottom 10) Stats for highest rank/lowest rank are exactly the same as "Speak Now", but this song has a slightly lower standard deviation (showing that songs with less variable ranks/more stable ranks tend to finish higher as Sam observed in the 2015 Rankdown). It also beat out "Ours" by only one point!

I thought it was a fan favorite. Turns out it's not a Pulse fan favorite though I think it's a nice song. Just not nice enough to rank any higher than #23.

Meh. I knew the country tunes would get shunned in this since most of the participants are pop fans.

Next up: 4 players lose a top 10! (spoiler: one of them is me...) In another very large standard deviation song (not as large as Mean but still very very large - I think it's the 5th largest in the entire rankdown), one of the four top 10 losses also becomes our first casualty in the top 3 (nvm, actually second lol, I forgot Kanenrake lost a #1 already)... On the other end, nobody loses a #38, but one player loses a #37 and four lose a bottom 10, three of the four being in the bottom 10...
edit: my parents are forcing me to sleep again (they weren't mad over the last few days, but today, they're legit mad so I have to go to sleep), so the reveal of the next song will be tomorrow. I'll try to post everything earlier so this won't happen at the same time as 2014 YE Rankdown. But as for right now, here are our standings:
Position - Song Name - Points
26 "Fearless" 256 27 "Ours" 255 28 "Mean" 249 29 "Speak Now" 230 30 "Eyes Open" 213
31 "Should've Said No" 209 32 "Change" 180 33 "Ronan" 159 34 "State Of Grace" 157 35 "Crazier" 148
36 "Picture To Burn" 147 37 "Today Was A Fairytale" 141 38 "Sweeter Than Fiction" 109

Welcome back! I'll probably be posting up to top 20 today! Recap from yesterday's teaser:
Next up: 4 players lose a top 10! (spoiler: one of them is me... this song is such a jam for me...) In another very large standard deviation song (not as large as Mean but still very very large - I think it's the 5th largest in the entire rankdown), one of the four top 10 losses also becomes our second casualty in the top 3... On the other end, nobody loses a #38, but one player loses a #37 and four lose a bottom 10, three of the four being in the bottom 10...

:'( this is such a jam for me... I remember hearing this a lot on the radio back when I was 8 along with some of her other very early songs and I didn't know that it was Taylor Swift but I LOVED IT and man does this song bring back nostalgia of when I was 8... the year I moved from the Silicon Valley to where I live now... So playful and that chorus just sticks with me so much... I remembered humming that chorus all the time back then and I didn't even know which song it's from haha. It wasn't until 2014 when 1989 was released when I was browsing through her songs when I realized this jam was from her as well

I didn't post a list but wow I am amazed that "Our Song" didn't even crack the Top 20. That song is a classic for country music and arguably one of the most remembered countey songs of the 2000s.
I have enjoyed watching this though and I'm excited to see how the rest shapes out.

Our Song was such a jam for me back in the day and I didn't even know it was from Taylor until 1989 Unfortunately, I think it's because there's a lot more pop people participating in this so many of her country hits didn't really take hold that well as seen from the past eliminations... Glad to see you enjoying this, I can tag you if you want

Next up! A song with a decently high standard deviation! One player loses a top 3, two lose a top 5, and four lose a top 10... This is also the first song where nobody loses a bottom 5, but three players do lose a bottom 10

Glad to see you enjoying this, I can tag you if you want Nah I'm good, I often visit the games threads to see what is up so I'll stay on top of it. Also, my jaw literally dropped when I saw "Our Song" ranked at #25. This song is one that I guess maybe overplay killed it for some I guess.

where the f**k is bad Blood and why is higher than meanlol, without the four people that ranked Mean in the bottom 2, "Mean" would've easily made the top 15... (It would've finished at #13 or 14 I believe)
