Great sleuthing, guys! Here's #26. Carly Rae Jepsen - LA Hallucinations Ah, a track from E•MO•TION made it onto this rankdown! Yay! So, many of you probably discovered this track during the E•MO•TION and E•MO•TION: Side B rankdown a few months ago. Well, now's your chance to rank it again or even discover it if you missed the Carly rankdown. "LA Hallucinations" was one of the first few standouts of the original E•MO•TION album to me and even managed to make my personal chart when the album released, peaking at #38 in November 2015. The track hasn't aged amazingly with me, but I definitely still love and enjoy it, even if it wasn't as much as before. Hopefully you don't hallucinate too much when you go to rank it in The Au$tin Shuffle Rankdown. Hint Explanations: born hit all of the clues on the head! -This album has had a rankdown recently. Buzzfeed was all over it. - As stated above, the E•MO•TION and E•MO•TION: Side B album and EP received their own rankdown hosted by Sambalada a few months ago. The track also mentions Buzzfeed. - Hint #2 - A strange cat hallucination. Nothing special with the cat. I just love cats. - Hint #3 - Based off of the line "Buzzfeed buzzards and TMZ crows" in the track. Hints for Song #27 -Legendary rock song. But only for the moment. - Hint #2-This track has been covered and sampled by countless artists, including Eminem, Neil Patrick Harris, Anastacia, and Tori Amos.

Hm. I didn't think the Skittles reference would make it that obvious. Oh well! #27. Aerosmith - Dream On Yet another iconic and classic song for the rankdown! This time, it's a rock song. Aerosmith's "Dream On" is probably one of the most iconic and well known rock songs of all time, to be honest. Steven Tyler's vocals are at some of their strongest here. The track was such a monumental moment in the music industry, that it's a staple to sample and cover. It's performed almost annually on one of the singing competition shows as well, most memorably for me, Danny Gokey on American Idol season six with that... interesting high note. Which, by the way, that high note Steven Tyler hits towards the end is easily one of the most memorable moments in rock and roll era music history. I honestly can't tell you how I discovered this track. More than likely, I heard my dad play it as a very young kid and it's stuck with me ever since. Great track. Hopefully you'll be singing for the moment when you go rank it in The Au$tin Shuffle Rankdown! Hint Explanations: -Legendary rock song. But only for the moment. - As explained, a legendary rock song. The second half refers to the lyrics. - Hint #2 - The track was featured in a popular Skittles Super Bowl commercial. I wanna say 2016's? -This track has been covered and sampled by countless artists, including Eminem, Neil Patrick Harris, Anastacia, and Tori Amos. - They're all linked now. Hints for Song #28 -Explosion -This artist has gone through several bands and name changes. -This track comes from a Disney film. Tags - If you would like to be tagged whenever a new song is revealed, please let me know! castleoblivion26 Kanenrá:ke bboat11 @mirza nick64 maine willapted33 Leo ✔Also, good news! With Taylor Swift putting her entire discography back onto Spotify, "The Outside" has now been added to the Spotify playlist! Currently, only Beyoncé's "Hold Up" is not available on the streaming service.

I'm 99% percent it isn't this but my guess is Let The Bass Go by Snoop Dogg. It was featured in Turbo, a Disney movie with some explosions in it. And Snoop Dogg has changed his name from Snoop Lion to Snoop Doggy Dogg and more.

We're so close to the complete list being revealed! Here's #28. fan_3 - Boom Who? What? I'm sure that's what you're thinking right about now. "Boom" is a track by fan_3 from the soundtrack to Disney's Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen starring Lindsay Lohan. I think I've seen that movie like twice over a decade ago, but I'm 95% sure the track is actually never in the movie, just on the soundtrack. I discovered the song myself through one of the many compilation CDs Disney produced back when it was profitable for labels to release things like that. It's a very strange track, that's for sure, and it has aged terribly with me. I still get a guilty pleasure kick out of it every once in awhile, but I totally understand if this track ranks fairly low for a lot of you. Who knows, though, it could be a secret guilty pleasure for a lot of you (much like the random high scores for Avril's "Hello Kitty" in my other rankdown... oops, did I just reveal something?!). Hopefully you don't explode too much when you try to rank this in The Au$tin Shuffle Rankdown. Hint Explanations: -Explosion - Explosion. Boom. -This artist has gone through several bands and name changes. - She started solo as fan_3, but after she was dropped from her label before her debut album released, she joined a band called Shut Up Stella, but they too were dropped before their debut album could release. She then went solo independently as Fannius III, but has since changed her stage name to Allison Jayne. Her real name is Allison Lurie, by the way. -This track comes from a Disney film. - As stated above, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. Brief Note: Even if you don't like "Boom," I highly suggest checking out two other songs by her. The Radio Disney and Hot Single Sales hit, " Geek Love" and her Fannius III single, " Girlfriend (I Can)." These are both still jams. Hints for Song #29 -Come play with me! :) - Hint #2- Hint #3Tags - If you would like to be tagged whenever a new song is revealed, please let me know! castleoblivion26 Kanenrá:ke bboat11 @mirza nick64 maine willapted33 Leo ✔

Well I originally thought #29 was Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez but I don't see how that'd relate to Hint #3 so most likely not

#29. ONLY ONE SONG AWAY! Melanie Martinez - Dollhouse After gaining success from The Voice, Melanie dropped this absolute gem of a song. It was actually how I was introduced to her (since I haven't kept up with The Voice since season 2). Believe it or not, it was a related video with Sia's "Elastic Heart," and that's how I found it. I absolutely adore this song for its creepy aesthetic and actually meaningful lyrics. I really enjoy Melanie's whole persona, though her music is kind of hit or miss with me. Hopefully you won't be off wasting away in your perfect little family when you go to rank this in The Au$tin Shuffle Rankdown! Hint Explanations: -Come play with me! :) - Melanie has a creepy child person, Cry Baby, that she's been using since she was on The Voice. - Hint #2 - A creepy doll. - Hint #3 - She was a contestant on The Voice, but I didn't want to use the actual logo, that would make it too easy. So here's the off-brand logo for The Voice. Hints for Song #30 -I want you to be excited for this rankdown. -2+2=4, 6-2=4, 8/2=4, 2.5*1.6=4, √16=4, 2^2=4 - Hint #3Tags - If you would like to be tagged whenever a new song is revealed, please let me know! castleoblivion26 Kanenrá:ke bboat11 @mirza nick64 maine willapted33 Leo ✔

IDK why but I'm thinking that the last song is by Jason Derulo? The second clue makes me think of 'Everything Is 4', and the third clue, Jay Sean sounds similar to how Jason sings his name on his songs sometimes (putting the emphasis on the second syllable)

I have no idea but if it is Jason Derulo, I'm just gonna say Swalla. It might not fit with the hints but eh, it's all I got
Edit: I take this back. It makes absolutely no sense

^ I think it'll be one of the singles from 'Everything Is 4', but I don't care enough about Jason Derulo to know how any of that era's singles tie into clue #1.

Sam's probably right. There's a Jay Sean song called "So High", but I don't think Austin would really have a hint about that, I mean the song wasn't realty popular, I just found out about it.

#30 Jason Derulo - Want to Want Me We've made it, guys! The finale song in this rankdown is the 80s inspired bop "Want to Want Me" by Jason Derulo. The single where he dropped the umlaut over the "u"! Also, it's the lead single from his first album that impressed me enough to purchase it! Seriously, Everything is 4 is a great album despite that awkward title. I want you to want to rank this in The Au$tin Shuffle Rankdown! Hint Explanations: -I want you to be excited for this rankdown. - So much wanting. -2+2=4, 6-2=4, 8/2=4, 2.5*1.6=4, √16=4, 2^2=4 - Everything is 4! - Hint #3 - Jay Sean... Jason... Jason Derulo.

Ranking for The Au$tin Shuffle Rankdown is now open! This rankdown promises to be different from the others. Instead of an artist, genre, album, or other theme, this rankdown is completely random.
