SAFE & SOUND OR SWEATER WEATHER OR LITTLE TALKS FOR THE WIN FOR 2013!!!! Little Talks peaked in 2012 (major reason why I can't wait for 2012 rank down).

Just making sure, S&S and SW are Pop Crossovers that are well liked by most rock posters? like with CWMN?

2013 won't start yet, we'll do that after 2014 active. Little Talks won't be in 2013 but will be in 2012 oh yeah, still have another 20 active songs to listen to, off I go!

Both will end up high on my ranks, but I gotta see the rest of songs for that year to make full disclosure. Plus if "Kangaroo Court" made the list; I'm gonna throw all my love in that direction.

Safe & Sound is amazing. I do love Sweater Weather as well. All the pop crossovers made a splash on my Hot 100 list.
2013 was the year I joined Pulse and started following Alt so if its true Macklemore charted then... ;)

"Thrift Shop" will unashamedly be in my Top 3. Alternative or not, that track bangs.

I wonder if That Chainsmokers song feat Coldplay will get a push from the Chainsmokers fans? I will surely slaughter that uninvited; to Alt chart, song.

This is the best Arctic Monkeys song by far. I'm surprised Jason Alexander ranked it the lowest? I'm not really a fan of Arctic Monkeys outside of "Dancefloor" and a few other older songs. I just find them boring

Totally Okay with WaW winning, it was a first listen and I loved it. As for the whole pop poster stuff, I'm pretty in between. I have a playlist with songs of all genres. I prefer rock but I don't really hate any specific genres. I typically like QOTSA but there was something about I Sat By The Ocean that I couldn't get into. Anyways, looking forward to 2013 and other rankdowns.

Holy shit I hope there aren't actual Chainsmokers fanbase in Pop. That's like the Nickelback fans in the rock boards. Have you guys even heard the new Chainsmokers album?

Congrats Green Baron for making all of the 'pop posters' as you like to call them feel bad for not having the same opinion as you as well as looking like a complete douchebag while you're at it.

Some running thoughts as I burn through the top 30, much like the top 30 itself being posted. - I was right about James' #99. I remembered that he ranked both "Sorry" and "Lemon Eyes" low in the 2015 rankdown, so I guessed that he didn't like "Desire", either. - "Wait For Me" barely making the top 25...urgh. At least it was higher than "Temple". - As weird as this sounds, I thought "Sirens" would go out sooner. Thought it would be too "boring" for some. Glad to see it make the top 20. - Actually pleasantly surprised with where "The Epilogue" landed. The only regret I have is that I might have placed it top ten if I did my list over again. - I thought that "It's About Time" was a surefire top ten song. Damn, was not expecting it to show up outside of the top 15. - Ugh, I was really hoping TMWS would go top ten. One of the great songs of the decade. - Having said that, I'm also pleasantly surprised to see "Coming of Age" do so well. I thought it might get lost in the shuffle, just like it got lost in 2014 after it died off. - Also thought ISBTO would sneak in to the top ten. Daryl's response to QOTSA not going top ten is one of my favorite posts ever. - Kind of surprised that both Bastille songs AND "Team" went top ten, though not in a bad way. Unpleasantly surprised that "Bad Blood" is below "Pompeii", though. I like both, but "Bad Blood" is on another level. - Allow me to weigh in on the whole "pop vs. rock" controversy for a seconzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (sorry, I just don't see the big deal if someone doesn't like the songs that I like. Unless it's Muse, in which case, I turn into a fire-breathing dragon. But ONLY Muse.) - Also, "Wagon Wheel" is great, and if I had participated in the 2013 Hot 100 rankdown, it would have been in my top 30, at the very least. Just wanted to mention this. - I forgot how much people liked "Cardiac Arrest" on the rock board. Damn. - "Come a Little Closer" should have went out earlier, but it's one of the better Cage the Elephant songs, so...eh, whatever. - "Team" is great. Take that, Daryl. - FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU (this translates to "'Out of the Black' should have won, and I am very disappointed right now." I may be alone in this, but I prefer the original OOTB video. Just fits the song better.) - "Pompeii" wasn't going to be #1. I knew immediately that it wasn't. Not enough rock board support. The freaking out over it possibly being #1 was kind of funny, though. - Based on the low rankings from indulge and Leaf, I also figured CWMN wouldn't win from the get go. - Then again, I also thought this would open the door for a OOTB to sneak in. I did not think "Words as Weapons" would be the one to sneak in. What's funny is that I can't even say that WaW "Chevelle'd" its way to #1, because a couple of people had the song in their bottom ten. On to the 2014 Active rankdown! And, of course, 2013 Alt. Oh, and yes, I will take my closeness trophy and hold it high, thank you very much.

Well I was sleeping when the whole fun was :( I literally woke up in the morning and saw 41 notifications in one night and I was like :O
Some opinions about songs: #27 Tennis Court- Dang I was hoping it'd be a little bit higher since it's one of the best songs Lorde has even made, at least it got Top 30 I guess. #23 I'm only joking- I actually didn't know this one although I love CWMN. I loved it on first listen, great song. #21 Lazaretto- I wasn't expecting this to be this high. I see it as a mess and it just gave me a headache, sorry. #15 TMTC- Really happy it made it this far. #14 Trainwreck 1979- Damn, I totally wasn't expecting this to be Top 40, let alone Top 20. I thought it'd be hated by the rock posters and I was wrong. Great song tho, maybe should've ranked it like 10 spots higher. #9 Dangerous- I'm really really sorry for ranking this #99 in the 2015 Rankdown. I hated it on the first 3 listens but it grew on me a lot since then. #8 Cardiac arrest- Ugh I was hoping it'd be a surprise Top 3 or something. One of my favorite discoveries on the Rankdown (if not my favorite one). #7 Come a little closer- Great song, happy to see it in the Top 10. #6 Team- ^ #5 Out of the Black- Well here's another one I have to apologize for. I ranked both of their songs bottom 10 in the 2015 Rankdown. While I don't like Figure it out, I really like Little Monster now and Out of the Black is pretty good too. #4 Do I wanna know- This song was a huge hit where I live. It was the #3 song of 2014, I love it and I'm happy it made the Top 5. #3 Pompeii- Love this one too although it burned on me in the past few years. #2 CWMN - Ahh so close to winning it all, this song is really really good, I almost put it at #1. #1 Words as Weapons- Holy f**k I did not expect that at all. Really good track! Definitely one of my favorite discoveries here. Happy that it won although I love CWMN more.
And for that fight between the Rock posters and "Pop posters" (although indulge and willapted aren't pop), I don't think it's fair to block some posters from participating in this. I mean, you all would be gladly welcomed in any Pop/Urban rankdowns without a doubt. I only participate in this to discover new songs while having fun playing this game. I discovered lots of great Alternative songs while doing this and the 2015 rankdown and I think that blocking people is ridiculous and ruining the point of this game.
Overall, I'm really pleased with how this game went for me. I did much better than I expected. Thanks a lot Daryl for hosting this game as usual and rowellfarm490 for doing the closeness stats! Well, that was a long post lol. I hope that I'd be able to participate in the 2013 alternative rankdown :)

On the whole, I can't complain much. Somehow, 16 of my top 20 made the rankdown top 20. And all of the rankdown top 10 were in my top 20. :o There are a few songs like "I Don't want to Be Here Anymore", "I'm Only Joking" and "Out of the Black" that I would have liked to place higher, but they still did quite well. Definitely did not expect "Words as Weapons" to win. I am glad though!

Pretty much all of my top 10s bowed out in the 11-20 range. They were bogged down. Now that all of this is done, I can say that I have nothing against you pop posters personally, but interfering with the results of our rankdown will draw the ire.

The contrast between this thread last night and then me reading the Miranda Lambert rankdown thread just now, lol: I'm not sure about this one as I only know about 8-9 of these songs. I'll do my best to participate but I can't say for sure. However, in a Rankdown full of devoted fans and people who are familiar with the songs, you definitely need someone who's judging from the first 2-3 listens.We don't NEED anything except to have your wonderful personality and music taste joining us in this rankdown. Seriously though, it can be nice to have somebody participate who is not super familiar with everything. Watching somebody discover new music and judge it based on just a listen or two is part of what adds variety to these things! Of course if you don't have time to listen to them that's valid, but don't feel like you are unwelcome just because you are unfamiliar :) I have never listened to her, but would like to. Can a fan PM me the titles of 5 tracks I should check out to make me a fan? The Maren Morris album has got me more inclined towards country music. Is she a similar sound? Miranda has some similarities to Maren, but Miranda is much, much less poppy. Excellent songwriting though and Miranda excels in her delivery as well. I hope you like her :) This difference is more or less why I was 'triggered' if anyone was curious. The animosity was just off-putting. I think being welcoming to the idea of people listening to and discovering new music should be encouraged by these games, imo.
