I wanted to do this even though I only know 3 songs on here but I couldn't find the time to do it because there were so many rankdowns I had to do

Not to sound like a douche lol, but I listened to the songs and didn't like enough of them to participate in this. Thanks for the tag, though :))

I was only properly familiar with 3 songs beforehand (Carrie, Jordan Fisher and 30 Seconds To Mars), and all 3 are in my top 10 - but surprisingly none of them are my #1. Overall I'd classify my top 10 as songs I like, 11-15 are songs that weren't bad but haven't made a big impression on me, 16-20 were meh, and 21 downwards is where I start disliking stuff.

Some people like me find it a bit unfair ranking songs based on just 1 listen while everyone else heard them plenty of times and knows it well. So thats why a lot of people say they pass before listening. Since if I rank songs just on 1 listen (I have on some Rankdowns where I knew 80 percent of the songs) it could not be a good ranking.

So thats why a lot of people say they pass before listening. Since if I rank songs just on 1 listen (I have on some Rankdowns where I knew 80 percent of the songs) it could not be a good ranking. Honestly, that's a fair sentiment, and one I respect. It's also a sentiment that, I'm sure, is shared by quite a few people. For me, around...let's say...90% of the time I listen to a song for the first time, that first listen is enough for me to determine whether I enjoy a song or not. There are times where I'm not sure how I feel about a song, and there are rare cases where I judge a song prematurely (mostly not caring for a song, then coming back around to it and loving it). Usually, though, my first instinct is the best one. That's not going to be the case for everyone, but it is for me. Now, HOW much I enjoy or dislike a song...that may take more than just one listen. But, again, my first instinct tends to be the right one.

Here's my take on it, particularly for the bigger rankdowns; it helps the more material you know beforehand - but if you have a spare few hours (say, on a weekend perhaps) then you can just sit there with the preference revealer listening to songs you don't know as they come up. And if you are given two songs you don't know it doesn't take all that much to listen to them back-to-back and pick the one you prefer of those two. The songs you know and love are going to be at your top end anyway, and the songs you hate will be at the bottom. It's the middle that you're really fleshing out. And doing it all in one sitting like that, the new stuff should still be somewhat fresh in your mind when it comes up again on the revealer - you should remember whether you kinda liked something or not if you've just heard it a little while ago.
And if you've been given 4-5 weeks to submit, all you really need is to find one block of time to sit down with the list and delve into it. I get that people are busy, have lives and multiple rankdowns they might wanna do, but that's why the time limits are so generous.

That's why I listen through the playlist 2 or 3 times whenever I'm not familiar with a lot of the songs. I prefer to allow myself to get familiar with the songs before I rank them, though I can see how that would be too time-consuming for some. 30 songs shouldn't be time-consuming, though. It's a small enough list that anyone can easily acquaint themselves with all the songs.

Thanks for tagging But won't be able to participate. It's been a crazy months and I've prioritized rankdowns I know at least half of songs good enough. Maybe once I know how to use the revealer (haven't tried it yet) I'd be able to do more RDs :) Do keep me tagged though to check results and comments and dig into these songs later anyway :)

So if you are interested, get those lists in! I'll post questions for the participants to answer in a little bit once I get to a computer. :) (if you already submitted, or said you won't, ignore the tag. too lazy to remove tags on mobile rn lol) {Tags} Walking Contradiction Web Troy Devin Red dm2081 Pipa wheatsquares33 Green Baron Lordef†ones Doc Indie Party Rock American Idiot timmierz rainie rockmandattebayo Leaf Leo ✔ janinho .indulgecountry lyhom Sambalada YotamTS willapted33 rgreen0625 rowellfarm490 morneaumispelled Beno zaclord 🌈 matteeeb aerodynamite , .indulgecountry , Mr. Thonk Eyes , Leo ✔ , Daryl the Beryl , Sambalada , awesomecharts , Kanenrá:ke , bboat11 , Au$tin , Az Paynter , MTSChart21 , trustypepper , someguy , zaclord 🌈 , LBTrocks , edph1 , Willow Rinadoobee Breakfast , Golden Bluebird , ry4n , jtd Thee Stallion , matteeeb , Normi , Choco , crazyb , boysilver400 , @jamesflame , zjames , james518 , nick64 , Raccoon , toomuchboy , Snowbeast , lyhom , frenchfry , †ealsünset , Leaf , Harx , chicken077 , Daniel Collins , musicfan134 , Libra , Juan Carlos , Albie , koolthing , Juanca , when the pawn... , Ky , @antigonerising , Zeebz , Myeahhh. , Ginger Spice , think pink. , kmbgs , karatekid

NGL there have been rankdowns that I missed because I said "Oh I should take this time to listen to these songs that I don't know real quick" but I just don't want to turn off my Mariah Carey playlist or something lol. I'm glad I pried myself away from Mariah long enough to do this one however; I got some new favorites out of my top 10 - although my #1 was exactly what I expected it to be - and now I'm listening to Moon Taxi's entire Young Journey album (small spoiler there, but too good not to give it a mention).
Questions:
1. In no particular order - Drive, Colliding By Design, Thunderhearts, Morocco, Oh My Heart, Can't Deny My Love, Church Bells...that's not ten songs but I'm mostly just throwing darts at the wall here because the majority of us were hearing a lot of these songs for the first time.
2. Drive
3. In no particular order - One Shot, As Long As We Got Love, Looking Like That, Dangerous, Straight Through My Heart, Dirty Diana, White Limo, Beautiful Like You, Born 2 Run, and...hmm...possibly Woo. But maybe Gone Gone Gone. eh, idk all these guesses are haphazard lol
4. Probably One Shot - which, not that I would care, but if there were any justice in the world my #29 or #30 would be the first ones out.
5. White Limo looks like an early contender, but I'm also thinking Woo and Chop Me Up will be pretty polarizing.
6. In my observation lowest SD in these rankdowns is almost always the last place song, or if not that something in the bottom five. So I'll stick with my Robin Thicke guess here.

My answer to practically every question is 'I don't f**king know lmao' on account of I went into this virtually blind. But I will jump on the theory that 'White Limo' might have the highest SD, so I can answer Q5 at least.

1. What songs do you expect to be in the Top 10?
Well, I'll say this much: "Drive" is probably going to win this, not just because it's a well-known song, but because it's a well-liked song. "Can't Deny My Love" will probably be there, too. I expect that the Rihanna song will contend for top 10. I could see "White Limo" getting enough top-end support to get to the top 10, but not much further. And I'm really hoping that CWK does well enough to get top 10, though it's not one of their most well-known songs, so who knows there?
2. What song do you think will win it all?
See #1.
3. What songs do you expect to be in the bottom 10?
"Loud(y)" better be there. BSB probably will be there. After that, there's a big cluster of songs in the middle of the pack that could swing to the bottom.
4. What song do you think will be #30?
Probably "Straight Through My Heart". If not that...maybe the Thicke song? Maybe Lee Dewyze? I don't think "Loud(y)" will be #30...though it should be.
5. What song do you think will have the highest standard deviation in the game (most disagreed on rating)?
"White Limo' will have the highest SD, no doubt in my mind there.
6. What song do you think will have the lowest standard deviation in the game (most agreed on rating)?
Probably "Drive".
