First Parker gets successfully sued by Huey Lewis for lifting the melody from I Want a New Drug, and now he gets blocked from the top 10 in a Halloween themed rankdown that was basically made for novely songs like Ghostbusters. Poor guy just can't win, can he.

Here's the fifth-highest SD I was talking about earlier. I have a friend who haaaaaaates this song, and now I can never think of it without hearing her voice in my head imitating how P!nk sounds on the chorus lol.

I'm not as into Gaga's 'Monster' as I used to be. :'(

Rather shocked this didn't make top 5 (although I'm just now realizing that I actually landed a p-p-p-perfect rank with this lol).

And with this, we say goodbye to our last 'modern' song - for the most part the older classics walloped on even the most familiar 21st-century hits in this rankdown. The youngest song in the top 5 is 24 years old.

Your top 5! The Cranberries - Zombie Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon Michael Jackson - Thriller Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight Stevie Wonder - Superstition Nos. 1, 2, and 5 have the three lowest SDs in the rankdown. Nos. 3 and 4 tied in average rank, and had to be determined by median. All but one of these five received at least one #1 rank; and impressively, these are the only five songs in the rankdown that have no bottom 10 rankings. Speaking of which, I keep forgetting to mention that I changed my mind on how to score this - after doing a few rankdowns, I noticed that if you use a points system (whether straight or inverse) the final order is always the same as it would be if you use averages. So calculating points is unnecessary work, at least IMO. (The fact that no one called me out on this lets me know that no one else noticed that I didn't use points like I said I would in the OP )

The only one I could leave from that top 5 is The Cranberries (casual spoiler; they're my #38) and while I'd definitely prefer one of my top 3 remainers to win, I'll happily take any one but 'Zombie' FTW. That said, I think this is Michael Jackson's game to lose.

All the songs that I really like were eliminated already. I knew that Dark Lady and Maxwell's Silver Hammer didn't have a chance to win but I thought that Hotel California would end up in top 5 for sure.
I have my #9, 15, 19, 31 and 37 left. I hope my #9 will win because it's a great song.
Edit: ^ Well I guess my #9 won't win either.

I have left my #9, 15, 18, 20, and 27.
Disappointed that Rihanna, Shakira, and Nelly Furtado weren't higher.

ok Thriller ftw!
"Somebody's Watching Me": was a great discovery, and I had to rank at #1 over my initial #1 haha
I expected "SheWolf" on top 10.
"Highway to Hell" I always have hated this song, glad it misses top 10.
Surprised and sad to see "Ghostbusters" barely missing top 10, but P-P-P-PERFECT RANKING!
I truly hate "Funhouse" and it should've been eliminated before top 20. Iugh.
"Hotel California" is amazing every day of the week, but with the lot of good discoveries it barely reached my top 10.
"Disturbia" I like the song but again, a lot of good discoveries pushed this to #24.

First, #15...P-P-P-P-PERFECT RANKING!
1 | 2 | 8 | 14 | 20
No complaints about this top five, I loved pretty much every song in my top 20. Rooting for one of my top two, of course, but I'd be okay with all five.

Well damn :(
Was hoping my 19 and 26 would leave before these.
Rooting for my #1, which I'm pretty sure at this point will be the #1 anyway.
oh, lol!
Yay, "Thriller"! Obvious winner, but well deserved.

Genuinely thought "Superstition" was the song that could actually challenge "Thriller", so for it to not even be top three is a bit of a surprise, and I'm surprised that "Rhiannon" did THAT well...but yeah, nothing was going to top "Thriller", especially when it had just two rankings below the top 20.
Dominant winner, but a deserving one, given the rankdown.
