Coldplay has had 15 top 50 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, we say goodbye to the second of them next reveal ("Christmas Lights" which was #35 peaked at #25 in December for Christmas if you were wondering.)

Let me explain. This song means a lot to me. It was particularly there for me at a very low point in my life. In terms of Coldplay songs that I have a personal connection with, this is #1 by a mile. If I didn't have the personal connection, maybe there's a chance that I don't rank this song as high as I do. But this song matters so much to me because of how it helped me through a tough time. Hey, thanks for sharing. I appreciate knowing about emotional connections with songs. And I really love when I see that a song I ranked very low is ranked quite high by another poster due to emotional connection. Respect. First time I listened to Christmas Lights I cried like a baby thinking of Christmas with mom gone and thoughts of righting wrongs... Then the uptempo is spirit lifting, with chants like comforting supporting hugs, with the final appeasing seconds like balsam to sorrow... in the end Xmas can be both joyous and sad for those who have loved ones away...

6/10 of my bottom 10 gone now. 3 remaining were hits so hopefully the big loss is beneficial to me.

Believe it or not, we still have a song with a higher SD then SJLT. That's it for tonight.

That's more like it. Now for their other attempt at EDM to go.

Again, this would've been a better song..if the Chainsmokers weren't lazy enough to recycle THEIR OWN SONG'S DROP.

I'm still puzzled at how disliked SJLT is. I know the drop is like self plagiarism by Chainsmokers, but I still believe the song has much more Coldplay than Ch elements. The vocals, the guitar in the last minute, the overall melancholic vibe. Out of all their latest pop EDM songs I can't see it as the worst offender at all. Anyway. Happy to have somehow helped it stay in the top 30 at least :)

SJLT is a really weird song for me in that I go through cycles of liking it and disliking it. Even though it's a recent song, I probably have been through like five of those cycles already. I underranked SJLT tbh because I probably ranked this when I was in my dislike stage, but I don't think I would've put it too much higher considering the quality of Coldplay songs.

Yeah...SJLT isn't a BAD song, per se...it's just that Coldplay can do/has done so much better that I couldn't place it any higher than I did, which was generous as is.

35. Christmas Lights - Not a favorite, but certainly not the worst song here either. I guess it being a Christmas song hurt it.
34. All I Can Think About Is You - Wasn't a fan of this one despite it being a "return to their old sound"; can't complain that it's out.
33. Up&Up - I remember defending this song before, but the more I listen to it, the less I like it. Still don't think it deserves bottom 5 though.
32. Atlas - Boo hiss. For me, this song is really powerful and has a great atmosphere. Criminally underrated.
31. Hypnotized - This one was pretty good, definitely better than AICTAIY. Out too soon.
30. Strawberry Swing - Never got that into this song, but it's decent and doesn't deserve to be this low.
29. Something Just Like This - I don't hate this as much as some people do, or as much as some of their other recent poppy stuff, but it still got boring very quickly. I thought it might be propped up by pop posters, but it landed about where it belongs. Now, let's hope "Hymn For The Weekend" can have an early demise too.

32. Atlas - It's a nice song but it can be quite boring sometimes. It deserved a bit better. 31. Hypnotized - I know it's a new song but it's still good. I don't get why it ranked lower than my #35. Deserved better. 30. Strawberry Swing - Thought this was one was kind of boring as it doesn't really go anywhere, but the guitar is nice on this. 29. Something Just Like This - I actually loved all of The Chainsmokers' big hits but this one is just dull and very generic, easily their worst hit. I don't consider this as a Coldplay song so I placed it at the bottom.

One of my favorites from Ghost Stories. Sad to see it out here.

"Ink" is one of many songs in this rankdown that I liked, but didn't love. Might have ranked it a spot or two too low.
