Meh, pretty predictable, mediocre winner. I overranked this in retrospect but it wouldn't have mattered. It was kinda cool seeing Team get to #2 though I guess.

Thank goodness. "Shut Up and Dance" is still a song I jam out to every time I hear it. Lorde on the other hand is extremely overrated

Alright. Here is how it all went out.
From the first few lists, the top 2 were STIUTK and PUK, fighting it and PUK took 1 for a bit then STIUTK took it, and then SUAD took over rest of way. STIUTK was basically 2nd behind SUAD the whole way until Annas final submission putting Team to 2. PUK was top 5 the whole way until last 5 lists.
Now at the last place, Thunder held that spot 80 percent of the way. From the first few submissions, Ride was last place. Then Thunder took over and stayed there for a while, being down near 100 points at 1 point. jtds 1 submission of Thunder still was 43. Thunder went to 42 for 1 list by 1 point after Codys On The Verges list came, leaving Too Close to last, then Thunder went back down to 43 until Annas list came in moving Unsteady to last.
Now in terms of highest SDs, CWMN was the highest SD almost all the way, with Stolen Dance taking it a few times back and forth. My 1 and 2 were highest SDs most of game, until out of no where, TMTC came out of no where, getting back to back to back to back top 5 and bottom 5 ranks, pushing it to highest SD.
Also, Little Talks made a huge comeback too, it was around 25 to 20 range most of way, and then it ended up moving to top 10 as high as 7, then settled for 11th place.
Anything else that you guys want to know?

"Shut Up And Dance" is okay but the song has literally won 3 Rankdowns (maybe even more, I'm not sure). And I can't understand why everyone's crazy about it. It has been done before, you can't say it is the most innovative song. Pulse is fangirling about it more than they do for Carly Rae & 'Eβ’MOβ’TION' lol.
Anyways, I like the song it was just a predictable winner. Thank you for this Rankdown I really enjoyed this! Great job!

Fantastic Top 2. Good to see STIUTK tanked out of there because it suxxx. Love the winner and runner-up about equally, so either way I was gonna be happy. Great finish! <3

10. It's Time - Still a solid song, but I'm pretty burned on it at this point. Admittedly, this band putting out a lot of worse songs since then may have tainted it.
9. Pumped Up Kicks - R.I.P. my #1, wasn't really expecting it to get higher than this though. I'll take it.
8. Royals - P-P-P-PERFECT RANKING!! Deserved to be higher than "Team" though.
7. Pompeii - Still a really good song, and one ranking away from where I put it.
6. Take Me To Church - Really powerful song, I think I appreciate it more now than I did back then, though I always liked it. Not surprised it has the highest SD, though.
5. Feel It Still - I might have overranked this a tad, but I still like it a lot and I'm cool with it being here.
4. Radioactive - This one way overstayed its welcome; it's not terrible or anything, but I never really got the hype. Not surprised it made top 10, but I hoped it might land in the lower half.
3. Somebody That I Used To Know - Was a breath of fresh air back then, and still holds up really well today.
2. Team - I guess I underestimated this board's love for Lorde. I will say I like this more than I did when it came out, but it still pales in comparison to "Royals" for me, and I'm glad it's not #1.
1. Shut Up & Dance - Not shocked that this won; although it missed my top 10, it's still an effortlessly catchy, fun, and danceable pop-rock tune for the ages.

10. Imagine Dragons - It's Time For all the hate I give this commercial jingle creating band, I do love this song, and always will. It had a more simple, real sound to their music. His vocals were normal sounding. Damn, even the banjos sounded nice. I used to play this loud on my car stereo. Now whenever there new music plays, I change the radio station, before anyone recognizes me.
9. Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks Oh this is the Indiepop jam. WTF happned here guys?
8. Lorde - Royals Another great one. I'm not too crazy about her sound now a days, but this one is a classic. I hope I don't see"Team" any time soon?
7. Bastille - Pompeii This would have been in my top 5. One of the reasons I started following the Alternative charts again. This Fitz and The Tantrums, and synthpop
6. Hozier - Take Me To Church I never cared for this song. nuff siad.
5. Portugal. The Man - Feel It Still This is a good song, Don't know how it comes in higher than a lot of this better classics tho? Two years from now, this song won't be in this top 5.
4. Imagine Dragons - Radioactive So glad this overly pompous war cry musical travesty didn't win. 'Nuff said.
3. Gotye f/ Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know Never really got the hype for this? It's a nice song, and I gave it some top 20 action on my charts, but fizzled out on me fast. In the end, it's just too simple.
2. Lorde - Team I'm so glad this one got the higher rank here. This is a indiepop classic for years to come.
1. WALK THE MOON - Shut Up & Dance Amazing winner. very glad this song won over all the rest. This shows you guys want guitar vibe pop on your charts, so start asking for it, so we can get more.

At this point I'd take anything other than Radioactive. I like it less and less each time I hear it. No song is so good that it deserves to spend 87 goddamn weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, especially this song. Maybe I'll change my mind in time, but right now, I sense that if I never heard "Radioactive" again, I wouldn't miss it.

This song seriously overstayed. It sounds like a million other indie rock songs to me. Also I hate this dude's helium voice. You mean "indie pop," right? Where's the electric guitars in that song? My problem with "Feel It Still" is that it sounds like some commercial jingle that they love using in Apple commercials.
