I almost included Kelly's own song titled Haunted in this rankdown, but decided against as the subject matter is rather serious (it's about a friend who committed suicide) - not something I would want to make light of in a silly rankdown. It was a My December track so it probably wouldn't have fared well anyway lbr. But wow, can you believe that was 10 years ago?! From MD to MOL, what a 180 in sound and mood. #shamelessplug

There's still one monster hanging on by a creepy thread. We'll have to wait and see where the final one lands...

You know who the real black magic woman is? Kelly Clarkson with that spellbinding beast of a voice she has! #buymeaningoflife

Heartbeat Song also peaked at #21. I'm still mildly pressed to be honest.

35. Ke$ha - CanibalCan't say I cared for this one bit. Love canibal movies, but I doubt I'll go up her anus any time soon. Ke$ha you nasty girl. 34. Jessie Ware - Night LightThis was a first time listen. A lot more pleasant than some of the other songs here. Her vocals are very 80's inspired too. 33. Rocky Horror Picture Show - Time WarpEasily one of the best Halloween Classics here. I would have expected this to be a big hit among Pop crowds. It sure is on my side of the border. 32. Lana Del Rey - Gods and MonstersI ended up liking this one a lot more than I ever thought I would. It's simple in the orchestral arrangements but very melodic. Lana Del Rey's music has Quentin Tarrantino vibes. 31. The Doors - People Are StrangeI would have put this higher, but I didn't really get the fear factor here. Epic song tho. 30. Haley Reinhart - Spiderwebs Another surprise listen. Very pleasant and I enjoyed her vocal delivery . I love when the song goes up another level and the guitars and drums kick in, but the eiree piano is the main theme, that got me into it. 29. Emenim feat. Rihanna - Monster What do I do with a song that features two of my least favorite acts ever? I tank it. I just can't sit throught Eminim's rapping, and Rihanna just makes it that much worse. 28. Kris Allen - MonsterThis was pretty forgettable in the vocals dept, but better than 10 other songs I guess. 27. Miguel - Don't Look BackThis one seems to be pulled out of a hat. the only fear factor I got from it was the music. 26. Five vaocalists I care little about - MonsterNothing positive to say about this song. I hate these "let's cram 5-6 artists into one song" deals . This has a Doc Indie Party Rock repellent tag all over it. 25. Paramore - MonsterAt least the right Monster ate the other two. This one comes with a Doc Indie Party Rock stamp of approval. 24. The Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down To GeorgiaThis is one of my favorite songs ever. The classic good verses evil theme is perfectly injected into the song. This is when I can say that I hold the lyrical value with up most importance, but the music kicks ass too. This has some fierce violin action. Man; This song should have been top 10.

I was (obviously) hoping that "Dark Lady" would be much higher. It's such an eerie song, lol.

Spiderweb was a first listen for me and I'm shocked I'm the highest rank for it - I loved it!

This set wasn't as awful for me as I anticipated, but I'm still wondering how in the world that awful P!nk song is still here.

Awww Evanescence out already. :'(
Also @antigonerising for Kris Allen's song I listened to this:
I've read that this version is pretty different to the final version lyrically.

...eh I have no good tie-in here. Just go buy/stream Meaning of Life already! Huh? Cynthia? Let me help.... Some people have compared the vibe of songs in MOL to songs by Adele, plus this may be the first time Kelly's going full diva and showcasing her voice, similar to what Adele did her last era. Adele famously sang Nicki's part of the Monster in Carpool karaoke, surprising many with her rapping sass. Still, remember that sassiness abounds in Meaning of Life!!

Miguel and Kris Allen were pretty good discoveries for this RD. Thanks! I love me some Haley, so I'm glad that Spiderweb at least made top 30. Monster is cool. This was an Adele-related discovery for me (yeah, I know), and I do like it well enough. The biggest wtf so far is Black Magic Woman. Really?! That's like the definition of a classic A+ song and should've been higher!

I expected "Monster" to go out relatively early, but man, ANOTHER classic bites the dust with "Black Magic Woman". That song is straight fire, even today.
I'm kind of worried about my #1 now. I probably shouldn't be, but I am.

Oh, wow, that is very different. The final chorus in the demo (when he sings "did I ever think to tell you that I am a that I am a monster" etc.) becomes the premise for the entire song. It's sort of a pop angle on Don't Look Back in that sense, as he warns his partner that she should probably get away from him before she gets gobbled up. I am going to find you a studio version you can hear now b/c this georestricted mess is just unacceptable lol.

I tried uploading an unlisted YT vid first but they recognized the music despite a vague title, and sure enough RCA has a geotag restriction set in 11 countries. It's very odd. I rue the inevitable day when labels get hip to Vimeo and Dailymotion and start throwing their weight around there too, but for now those are the two 'dump' sites for anything that you want to be viewable without it being a problem.

Due to my schedule being wack af I'm going to roll out #20 through #6 right now even though it's 2:30 in the morning and I know nobody else is awake rn...because if I don't do it now who knows if it will get done before Halloween is over. Top 5 coming this afternoon/evening to keep up a modicum of suspense tho!

This is the last #50 rank to exit the rankdown.

While the three highest standard deviations (Cannibal, The Thunder Rolls, and Eminem's The Monster) landed close to the middle of the rankdown, two other songs found their final resting place much higher in the rankdown despite being almost as polarizing. She Wolf is the fourth-highest SD and the fifth highest SD even managed to crack the top 10!
