I think 3 is "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" (Mad Men -> "Basket Case" -> Green Day)... :( Moreover, I think my 70 wins...

@antigonerising can you fix #13? I hate R. Kelly and I was being petty. I might give him a proper title later if I'm in the mood but I'm not giving him na'an video stream.

Oh good, I guessed 2 of the top 3. I still think Kelly got it. Hope Gaga gets it. Don't want Green Day to get it because I'm sick of gravey swooping in and getting his way with these things.

48 vs. 60. Again, indifferent between the two.

Not sure if anyone had a chance to think about them much or if they were just too hard...but each clue hinted at an artist and/or song that blocked the to-be-revealed song from the #1 spot. In #3's case, the clue was the opening credits from Mad Men - a show set in New York - where a man is falling from a building.
I think we recall Tik Tok leaping over BR so much that we sometimes forget, it initially got stuck behind Empire State of Mind, Jay-Z and Alicia's love song to NYC. (plus, Alicia's breakthrough hit was Fallin'.) Gaga misses the top two by only 19 points. 58 points separate #2 and #1, however.
The #2 and #1 clues were both intentionally vague, aside from confirming that Gaga was #3. The lead female character from L&O SVU is Olivia Benson, and the lead character from Fringe (my most favorite tv show ever) is named Olivia Dunham. Olivia also happens to be the name of the featured hook girl on Candy Shop - coincidentally the two songs 50 Cent blocked back in 2005 are now the top two songs in this rankdown. But only one of them can now avenge its old chart position.
Which one will remain stuck in #2 purgatory while the other finally, rightfully ascends to #1?

Tbh that's both awesome & annoying but that's okay I guess I only love CS and 05 50 Cent songs a lot because I grew up with them and they were everywhere in my city that year and 05 was when I first started listening to radio and would hear it often. I think that Pred wins over me in Unpopular opinions on Pulse.

Okay, if my 30 wins I won't be too upset. I was mostly worried that my 70 ("Bad Romance") would win. I had it low in the Lady Gaga rankdown too because I heard it too much and never really got into it. I'm still rooting for my #1 to win, though.

SUBG FTW.
Since U Been Gone has always been my ultimate favorite Kelly song. I always found BOBD to be very overrated tbh, September is miles ahead better.

Great rankdown. I love the top 4 so much and cannot complain with how it all played out. Rooted for Green Day because I LOVE "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" but honestly any of those 4 winning would have been good!

Gravey mentioned my previous 10-week #1s countdown where he didn't get his way. The same happens here as, yet again, one of his least favorite songs wins the crown despite both his low rank and the second-place song having more #1 rankings. But other than gravey, Kelly has no ranks below 48 and I think she might also be the song with the most top-half rankings too. Gotta say I was really surprised (pleasantly!) at this result - as I was taking submissions in it didn't really seem like SUBG was doing that well. But truth is, none of the required picks did great - because of the pick system, a lot of people pushed other favorite songs near the top in an effort to get those ranked so the required picks all got 'depressed' averages and medians as a result. this format was a mess [2848392094] and my rollout was even messier but I hope you guys enjoyed it anyway and thank you all so much for participating! I wasn't expecting a big turnout b/c of the complicated ranking system but I was wrong and I really, really appreciate everyone joining in I'll end with some shameless self-promotion: 1) my Mariah Carey rankdown is open and currently accepting submissions! That one is actually three rankdowns bundled into one: there is the big 100-song list for non-#1 singles and album cuts, but there are also two smaller rankdowns for the 18 #1s and for her albums. If you don't have time to do the 100-song rankdown I still encourage you to submit a quick rank for the 18 #1s, don't act like you don't already know those songs! 2. Within the next couple of weeks I will be opening up my Halloween rankdown! I've set a hard October 8 deadline for that one (no extensions, b/c I want the reveal to coincide with Halloween duh) but I'm going to keep that one capped at 40 to 50 songs, from the perennial Halloween classics to some hidden creepy gems. So if you like Halloween as much as I do stay tuned for that as well! Again thank you all so much for participating or watching! (@pjscott11 I apologize but I was feeling so out of it today I think I forgot to tag you on all of today's posts bloop)

It might be tomorrow before I'm able to get all that stuff compiled, though. Oh, I can do this real quick since it just requires scanning a couple of columns. Of your 25 picks, only 4 of those didn't get chosen by someone else (One Call Away, We Are the World 25, Rump Shaker, Whoomp! There It Is). You weren't all alone out there with most of your picks, just other songs that more people gravitated to. The '90s stuff in particular didn't fare as well as I thought it would.
