Don't step on my turf!
Just kidding.
I don't mind other tournaments going on, just don't have them while I have mine going on haha. Like similar to what Az did with his.
For this, I still think this works better with a rankdown. I'm not particularly a fan of the optional choices or whatever. I think it ruins the point of the rankdown.

Well y'all aren't guessing anything so let's move on with it! #68.
You Belong With Me, Taylor Swift Points: 503 | average rank: 15.375 | median rank: 13.5 | st. dev.: 11.213 Blocked by: I Gotta Feeling, Black Eyed Peas (1 week)
The clues: the first was a hint at the lyrics in the second pre-chorus - "but she wears high heels and I wear sneakers." The second is a play on the title of the song's parent album. Not Afraid -> Fearless Taylor wears short skirts and heels now just fyi.

Yay "You Belong with Me" made it on the main list!!!
I used my Taylor stan card for this one and I'm not ashamed in the slightest bit. I'm just trying to be a good Taylor stan for once, you know?

I was gonna come up with some guesses but I got sidetracked by the '98 airplay rankdown.

#67.
Trap Queen, Fetty Wap Points: 510 | average rank: 21.111 | median rank: 17 | st. dev.: 9.279 Blocked by: See You Again, Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth (3 weeks)
The clues: the first is the cover photo from Usher's second album My Way (whose title track ironically enough also peaked at #2...and yes I purposely used that photo as a red herring lol). Anyway, Fetty Wap also has a single titled My Way. The second clue hints at the lyrics in the "are you sure this is a hook b/c it's been three years and I still can't find the melody" section of the song. "I be flipping pies with my baby," etc. etc. My Way >>>>>>>> this, but I never hated Trap Queen; just found it kind of tuneless. I would love for him to climb out of whatever wormhole he fell into after 2015 and have another hit just to stick it to all the one-album wonder naysayers.

I think I missed You Belong With Me all together or it would've been my #1 π It was an extra song right?
Edit: I see it it wasn't on the Spotify playlist so I missed that and I knew you were trouble lol.
Sorry Tay

#66.
How Do I Live, LeAnn Rimes Points: 562 | average rank: 20.6 | median rank: 24 | st. dev.: 8.381 Blocked by: Candle In the Wind 1997/Something About the Way You Look Tonight, Elton John (3 weeks)
These clues were for the chart geeks: HDIL held the record for longest stay on the Hot 100 (69 weeks), until Jason Mraz's I'm Your embarked on a 76-week run. HDIL also held the records for longest stay in the top 5 (25 weeks) and top 10 (32 weeks), but Closer broke the top 5 record and tied the top 10 one. Billboard now retires songs from the Hot 100 after 52 weeks, so at least HDIL's record for longest stay in the top 40 (62) weeks is safe....for now. The way this song came about is rather messy - tl;dr LeAnn's recording got rush-released after her label caught wind of movie execs trying to boot her off the Con Air soundtrack in favor of a more mature Trisha Yearwood vocal - so it's kind of fitting that it was always destined to be second banana no matter which version. While LeAnn was riding high on pop and the Hot 100, Trisha is the one who smashed on Hot Country Songs...where it also peaked at #2.

Edit: I see it it wasn't on the Spotify playlist so I missed that and I knew you were trouble lol. Sorry Tay Yeah, at the time I made the spotify lists Taylor's discography wasn't on there at all (a handful of other songs are also absent from Spotify). I listed those songs in the OP but didn't provide YT links, which I suppose would have made them much more noticeable.

Shouldn't "How Do I Live" be 66 not 67? Since "Trap Queen" was 67... EDIT: Never mind, you fixed it now.

A pure 'pick [number]' is certainly more straightforward, but where's the fun in that? Rude! >:(

This game did not include the 80's did it?
Rick Springfield - Don't Talk To Strangers (1982), Journey - Open Arms (1982), Toto - Rosanna (1982) I remember those spending mega weeks at #2.

#65.
Payphone, Maroon 5 ft. Wiz Khalifa Points: 566 | average rank: 20.3 | median rank: 18.5 | st. dev.: 7.281 Blocked by: Somebody That I Used to Know, Gotye ft. Kimbra (1 week); Call Me Maybe, Carlegend Slay Godsend (5 weeks)
The clues: 1D is pictured in a payphone booth. Avril's song is a reference to Payphone's lyrics - "so much for my happy ending" -> "if happy ever after did exist, I would still be holding you like this." I have noting interesting to say about this song. It's cute I guess. I'm gonna keep my thoughts to myself before that random stan of theirs wanders in here and starts going off on everyone for being haters. M5 is getting their hits regardless, I'm not mad.
