James' thoughts: I really like this one. It runs more on the generic side, but I do think it's a pretty cool blend of pop, rock, and rap. When I started the rankdown, I was thinking this would be a solid discovery for people, but it looks like I was (mostly) wrong.

Oh yay, let this be the start of a good trend
I feel like I shouldn't hate B2R as vehemently as I did; I did at least understand what the band was aiming for with it. But it was really just not good at all to me. I didn't check the year it came out but have a feeling that no matter what the answer I would have considered it dated and amateurish for its time. Rap is a very hard genre to combine well with other genres though, IMO. If one does pull it off the rap part usually ends up cannibalizing the other genre's presence (see: current state of r&b).

James' thoughts: I was expecting a lot worse for this one honestly. I was thinking this would go more along the lines of "Without You" where there was no love for it, but still pretty much in the middle to end for most everyone. Surprised to see four Top 10s here. It's one of the better songs from Wake Up, but again, compared to the rest of the list, it doesn't hold up.

Didn't feel as immediate as "We Come Running", but a solid listen all the same. Good spot for it, too.

We lose another four Top 10s with our #18, while someone loses their #3! What could it be?

#17 is our biggest elimination yet. Three Top 3 rankings (a #1 will be lost!), and the third highest standard deviation in the game. Someone also loses their #30.
Does someone watch their #1 get eliminated before their #30?
Find out soon.

James' thoughts: I actually didn't realize until now how apparently polarizing this was. I was expecting this to do a bit better since this was a song everyone should have known. This is probably my favorite single from him, and I may have underranked it a bit, but this is about where it belongs in my opinion.

James' thoughts: I thought it was rather funny that the rock posters are the ones all in the bottom half of the rankings here, haha. This is probably my favorite song from Threat to Survival, but that's not a hard threshold to pass. Actually, second favorite behind "Cut the Cord" which is awesome. It's a solid song, but this is right where it belongs.

We are halfway home! We shall continue tomorrow around the same time for #15-#11!
#15 has the second highest standard deviation in the game, 7 Top 10s are lost (including a #1), but we see a large amount of bottom 5's eliminated.
What are your guesses for this mysterious song? Find out tomorrow!

Dangerous is the corniest, cheesiest, most terribly written piece of schlock I have ever had the misfortune of hearing in my life, and I say that having heard every coronation single that ever came from American Idol. In fact, it sounds exactly like I would have expected the season 5 coronation single to sound had Chris Daughtry won. It made me want to punch a kitten. None of that is necessarily deserving of a last-place ranking though. It deserves a last place ranking because these mofos have some nerve being corny, cheesy schlock with no discernably good musical elements all while singing about how they're not going to let themselves be "isolated by the mainstream" because they'd rather be dangerous. I feel like that time Rihanna supposedly walked up to someone in a tattoo parlor and said "you think you're a real badass, huh?" and then walked off. Not since Madonna drolling in 1990 that she'd "rather die" at the thought of making Mariah-style pop music while being the biggest walking representation of meaningless pop music have I ever heard something so blindly pretentious.
That is all.
