Some teaser stats before we get into the top 10.
- The top 4 songs were the top 4 the entire time I was keeping track of submissions (I started adding up points after submission #8). 5-9 did a lot of shuffling around, though.
- The #1 song has the second-lowest standard deviation of the countdown (the #35 song, You Light Up My Life, has the lowest).
- Only one person gave the #1 song a #1 ranking.
- The #2 song has the most #1 rankings in the rankdown, with eight. #2 also has the most top 10 rankings (25; the #1 song has 24).
- The #3 song was #1 for pretty much the entire submission period until the very last day, when three submissions sent it tumbling down to its final spot.
- The #1 and #3 song are tied for lowest number of bottom-half rankings (only three apiece).
- The #1 and #4 song tie for the highest median rank (7).
- If you had asked me to predict which song would win before starting this, I probably would have guessed #2 or #4.
- gravey and I have the same #1 and the same #5. Not really a hint for anything but I just thought that was a surprising coincidence.

Thanks for spoiling that my number 1 is not the winner. Although I didnt think it was going to win anyways.
EDIT - You realized you sorta narrowed the option to like 5 songs out of the 10 that could likely be the winners??? Not that I dont mind, but it can be a give away sorta. Judging by all the teaser stats plus a few things you said earlier. I think I have a gut feeling what the winner of this Rankdown is.

So I still have my: 1,3,6,7,8,12,13,17,19,26 I thought I was gonna have 6 or 7 top 10s still. I'm particularly surprised at my #19 reaching top 10. I could've ranked it a bit higher to be honest.

Contrarian award goes to Active Aggressive and @quirkyfarang for only having 3 of their top 10s land in the rankdown top 10. Split-personality award goes to Walking Contradiction - four of his top 10 songs landed in the rankdown top 10, but another four landed in the bottom 10. If I ever need to buy a lottery ticket I'm asking zaclord π, Sambalada, or #LisaRinna to pick the numbers. Zaclord had 8 of his top 10s land in the rankdown's top 10; the only two songs to miss for him were Closer and Shape of You. And Sam and Mario are the only two people for whom all of their top 10 songs landed in the top half! For both of them, their lowest ranked song is OSD at #17.

Songs I still have: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 15, 26, 27.
Doing quite good so far. I think the most surprising thing about the Top 10 is the fact that Dilemma managed to make it. I didn't think Pulse would be that big of a fan of this song, but I guess I underestimated the power of a very memorable chorus.

- Diane knew she had penned a hit with this one, but said Toni wasn't here for it at all: "[She] hated that song. She didn't want to do it. And then after she had a hit with it she told me she didn't want another one of those." Toni hated 'Un-Break My Heart'?! Wow, this is news to me. I thought Toni loved it. Or maybe she loved the Hex-Soul remix, IDK - 'cause the story goes that she and LA Reid went behind Arista's back to have Soul Solution make an edit transitioning from the original to the dance remix, with her giving them instructions on how she wanted it edited, and then she performed it at the 1996 Billboard Music Awards. Arista apparently thought it would be a career-ending move but it went over SO well that everyone wanted a copy of the slow-to-fast edit. Kinda like a 90's version of what happened with 'Piece By Piece' on Idol or 'Million Reasons' at the superbowl - a performance that sent demand through the f**king roof lol.

Hopefully my #2 and #3 can do something. They were very widely loved.

I'm shocked Unbreak My Heart missed the top 10!
I also don't remember what songs I have left. I'll have to check.

Zaclord had 8 of his top 10s land in the rankdown's top 10 Look at me The other two are my #16 and my #31 - Not a fan of the artist on #31, but I knew it would do well here. Hoping it can miss the top 5 though. I like my odds of having one of my top 10 (all of which I love) be the #1 song though :)

Random question, are #TheCure and Formation the same person? Yep and it's not helping either that there's another poster whose display name is also 'TheCure' lmfao

Overall a solid Top 10. Got my: 1,4,5,9,10,11,17,18,22 & 27 still in. I don't see my #1 winning this and I'm hoping that both my #22 & 27 won't be #1. My prediction of the top 10 based on the hints you gave:
1. Smooth 2. Irreplaceable 3. I Will Always Love You 4. We Belong Together 5. We Found Love 6. Hello 7. Uptown Funk! 8. Yeah! 9. Lose Yourself 10. Dilemma

Gold Digger should've been higher.
Whoa, I thought Destiny would've been higher.
#1s gonna be Mariah, knowing Pulse.

Your top 10: I Will Always Love You Smooth Dilemma Lose Yourself Yeah! We Belong Together Irreplaceable We Found Love Uptown Funk! Hello Three of these songs received 35s. Will one of those songs be able to overcome that lowe ranking to reach #1? These aren't in alphabetical order. I almost wonder if they're in ranked order? :kii:n/m They're chronological lol 2 Lose Yourself, Eminem (12 weeks, 2002-03) 3 Hello, Adele (10 weeks, 2015-16) 5 Yeah!, Usher feat. Lil' Jon & Ludacris (12 weeks, 2004) 7 We Found Love, Rihanna (10 weeks, 2011) 10 Smooth, Santana feat. Rob Thomas (12 weeks, 1999) 13 Irreplaceable, Beyonce (10 weeks, 2006-2007) 14 Dilemma, Nelly feat. Kelly Rowland (10 weeks, 2002) 18 I Will Always Love You, Whitney Houston (14 weeks, 1992-93) 27 Uptown Funk, Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars (14 weeks, 2015) 29 We Belong Together, Mariah Carey (14 weeks, 2005) I'm fine if anything remaining that I ranked Top 10 is #1, or Whitney. In hindsight, I'm not sure why IWALY is below Dilemma. I did get burnt out on it for much of the 90s but fairly recently I was listening to it again and really focused on the vocals and wow, they're impressive!

My apologies you guys, but I just got home after a long day on the road (had to take mother to a dr's appointment, but it was a 4-hour round trip just to get there and back) and I'm too pooped for putting together any reveals tonight. However I will make up for it by revealing the entire top 10 tomorrow. In the mean time I want to bounce a couple ideas off you guys for an upcoming rankdown and shamelessly self-promote another... 1. As you may or may not know, I've laid claim on the Mariah rankdown. I decided that instead of doing the typical artist/singles theme I'd go in another direction and do album tracks; this seems like a great way to introduce more casual fans to her back catalog (which is amazing!) and give the super stans another reason to revisit some old favorites. However, I have 100 songs to work with and I'm honestly not too keen on doing a 'long' rankdown because I'll be running this one concurrently with another rankdown idea I have (see below). Should I a) go ahead and do the full 100 songs b) do 50 songs or c) do a madness-style tournament? Note that if I go with c) this tournament will possibly be postponed for a while to make sure it doesn't accidentally compete with the summer madness, which I assume James is going to do again. 2. I AM certain on how things will go with my other rankdown - #2 chart peakers! I haven't finalized the list yet because I've got over 500 songs to choose from, but somehow I'm going to whittle that down to either 50 or 75 well-known smashes that for whatever reason couldn't quite smash their way to the very top. I'll likely kick off that rankdown this weekend and set a deadline in early June. So stay tuned for that!

Oh yes please 7 years too! It likely won't even be in my top 5 so if it's dead last I won't even be too mad.

If you do #2 peakers, I'd say set a week as to where a song qualifies (i.e. songs that peaked at #2 for 3+ weeks)
Edit: or the suggestion above lol
