I have EIGHT lists now! In theory I could cut my losses and just run the game now, but there are a few people who seem fairly committed to still giving me lists. Low rankings for Michael Paynter will get your list thrown out I'd like to receive lists please from the three of you still getting tagged, 10 participants plus myself would be fantastic, thank you! {If you've received this tag, you're probably going to be the last participants I get.} maine Mylo13 💜 @antigonerising

I have finally started work on this.
Hopefully I can get a list in by the end of the day. Probably just going to do these based on first listens, lol.

Mylo13 💜 @antigonerising James should have a list to me by the end of this week; can I still expect something from either of you, or do I just call it after James' submission?

@antigonerising maine I'm gonna give a final call for this weekend since you've both told me you're finally getting onto this. Mylo has confirmed sadly he won't be participating so the two of you will be the last entrants. At least we'll have reached the goal of 10 lists, and I'm looking at kicking off reveals on Monday. Thank you for helping me finally make this a thing!

Sorry for not doing this, but I'll definitely be watching throughout the rankdown. Rooting for a good twenty songs. And hoping for a few songs to die

"I'm so excited, and I just can't describe it It kinda feels like love, like love, like love"RELEASED: October 31st, 2014 Anja Nissen successfully auditioned for the third season of 'The Voice' in Australia, getting all four coaches to turn their chairs for her in her blind audition. Given the option of whoever she liked, she chose Will.i.am as her mentor. Public support helped carry her through to win the season... and that's where her choice of mentor screwed her up. Delta Goodrem had prepared a song that would serve as Anja's debut single following her win, but Will.i.am vetoed the song saying it was 'not the right fit' for her. That song ('My Girls') did eventually see the light of day, when used by Bella Paige who represented Australia in the 2016 Junior Eurovision Song Contest. So yeah, 'My Girls' didn't actually fit Anja once we heard it - but the fact that Anja had no single out cut into her visibility directly after the show, and her album was released with no hit single - missing the top 10 and branded as a flop by media (after the previous two winners enjoyed #1 debuts, missing the top 10 was a major step down). Eventually, we did get a single from Anja. We got... this monstrocity. Australia wasn't feeling it, and it spent only a single week on chart, just outside the top 40. MY THOUGHTS: Whoo boy, there's a lot to unpack here. Everything about this song and video is just... no. Will.i.am managed to turn Anja into a guest artist on her own debut single. The chorus/hook is ridiculously long and drawn out, taking us 45 seconds just to reach the first verse... which is entirely by Will. After more overly-long hook, Anja finally gets a verse at around 2:30, only to go halves with Cody Wise, who is nobody to Australian audiences and had no business being on this song. Production? Terrible. Lyrics? Trite and basic af. And the video completely fails to convey any excitement whatsoever - I mean, I get the concept of it being fashion magazine covers, but Anja couldn't look any more bored and lifeless. A well-deserved flop. Note: this started at #80 thanks to my list, and not once did it budge from last place.

Was just thinking of random rankdowns to attract users to do.

"One foot in, one foot out Better man up if you wanna get down Shake that"RELEASED: July 17th, 2015 Samantha Jade was the 4th season winner of The X Factor in Australia, and while her debut album and its accompanying singles were successes, her second album suffered from derailments. Samantha put her career on hold after her mother became sick with cancer, scrapping the album she had been working on prior to her mother's illness. This led to a number of singles being relegated to non-albums status. After Samantha's mother died, she began work on a new album; originally entitled 'Angel', the eventual album was titled 'Nine' (a lucky number for Sammi). Released as the lead single from this album was 'Shake That', which added American rapper Pitbull into the mix when she ran into a dead end regarding how to finish the song; she had no bridge section, but had nothing else to say on the song, so Pitbull was brought in to provide a rapped verse. The song didn't take on the charts, even after a second push was attempted in late 2015 (pushing back follow-up single 'Always' to 2016 in the process). MY THOUGHTS: Not my favourite Samantha Jade single by any means; it's nice enough, and I think the music video is her best, but I'm really not a fan of Pitbull. Him being included might have given Sammi a good launching point to try the US again, but she has expressed no desire to give the States another try given how her initial run with Jive Records went badly in the 2000's.

Things are starting off pretty well for me lol
Sami Jade is one of the most forgettable artists I've ever heard. I'm amazed she's had as many hits in Australia as she has. That being said, her cover of "Heartless" was pretty damn good.

"Whisper in my ear tonight You know how to make me feel perfect, yeah Put your lips up next to mine Only you know just how to work it, yeah"RELEASED: September 27th, 2013 Nathaniel Willemse came from the same season of The X Factor as Samantha Jade, finishing in 6th place. Following the show he forged his own career with 'You' being released as his major label debut single. The song was an instant success for the South African-born singer, debuting in the top 10 and spending six weeks in the region (including two weeks in the top 5). His debut album 'Yours' was released just one month after the single was released, debuting in the top 5. The album spawned two further top 20 hits. MY THOUGHTS: By the time I started paying attention to Nathaniel's season of The X Factor he was already gone. I don't remember when or how I came to hear this song, but I liked it. I'm a little disappointed it's out this early, and I feel bad for James that he's down a top 10 this soon as well but #BlameCynthia and #BlameWill as both people say goodbye to their #80's. maine #9 Normi #34 Az Paynter #37 DistrictTwelve #55 Leo ✔ #63 Beno #70 Billie #70 Juan Carlos #77 @antigonerising #80 willapted33 #80 THE PEANUT GALLERY@walker9 @jamesflame Mylo13 💜

WARNING: Someone else is about to lose a TOP 5 in the next reveal! Which may also be the last one for now; I'm going to my grandmother's shortly and IDK how long I'll still be around - but I will resume in a few hours when I get back.

"Baby it's a new day, driving on the throughway All I see is bright green lights Forget what you would call me, know that s**t ain't for me I'mma just live my life"RELEASED: November 11th, 2013 'My Life' features guest vocals from American recording artist Ceekay Jones, and was released as the fifth and final single from the album 'Circus In The Sky', the fifth album (and second #1 album) from Australian hip-hop trio Bliss N Eso. The song was, at the time, their highest-charting single on the ARIA chart (they have since hit a new peak in 2017). The music video centres on Australian freestyle motocross racer Cam Sinclair, who suffered a life-threatening accident at a 2009 competition, with the video covering his rehabilitation and training leading up to his return to competition in 2010. MY THOUGHTS: I remember hearing this song on the radio back when I still listened to the local pop stations here lol. I liked this song well enough to enjoy the song, but it wasn't enough to make me a fan of Bliss N Eso, or to buy any of their music. Still, I was hoping this would fare a little better as Australian hip hop is under-represented on the ARIA chart (and, it seems, in this rankdown too).

"Coming to terms that I might become a blind guy If I do I'll only ever look on hindsight Yeah, but if I do lose my eyesight I don't give a f**k 'cause I'll be looking through my mind's eye"RELEASED: January 17th, 2014 'Impossible' was the lead single from Australian rapper 360's second album 'Utopia', featuring guest vocals from Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns. In the song 360 references his degenerative eye disease and the fact that he is legally blind in one eye following a cornea transplant he had at 18. The video features two versions of himself and Daniel; one pair well-dressed suits, while the others are in street clothes, and there is an altercation between both pairs. MY THOUGHTS: I looked up this song for the purposes of this rankdown, since I've taken a liking to some Silverchair singles, and I also liked some of Daniel's solo material. It was Daniel appearing on this song that led me to it, and I quite liked it. This exiting this early tells me the hip hop purge is real, even in lists of stuff people don't know. So yeah, I'm the highest ranker on this #RIP Az Paynter #21 Juan Carlos #23 Beno #35 Normi #58 Leo ✔ #65 maine #66 Billie #74 DistrictTwelve #74 @antigonerising #76 willapted33 #79 THE PEANUT GALLERY@walker9 @jamesflame Mylo13 💜

My Life is just about the only Aussie hip hop song I love. Most of it sounds really generic and phoned in, but something about My Life stood out to me.

Stopping here for the moment; I'm just about to leave. I'll do the next five and a couple of honourable mentions when I get back, and I think that'll be it for the day~
Merry Christmas, guys!
