I made the song list differently this time. I took the top 50 songs of 2014 on the Pop, HAC, and AC formats from Mediabase (like Zedd did in his 2016 rankdown) and removed some that were more popular in 2013 or 2015. However there are 2 songs from 2013 on this list, and I included them because they were very high on the HAC list. Those songs are "Demons" and "Wake Me Up". Plus this brings the total to 68, which was also the amount of songs in the 2015 rankdown.

[MilesW1998]

I'll probably do this, I know most of these, except a portion of them I need to listen.

[Ice Cream 15 (Broccoli 2018)]

Is there a way to use a preference revealer without downloading anything onto your computer? I'll do this though after I missed the 2015 edition.

web.archive.org/web/20160304091555/http://www.xomnom.com/preference.html The link was already in the post right below the deadline.

It's not. It was only on the Pop year-end, at #42.

Oct 15, 2017 16:21:26 GMT -5 @walker9 said:

Again, only on the Pop year-end. Not all of these are HAC, all of the songs were on either the Pop, HAC, or AC year-end list for 2014.

[Zach]

Already know what my top few are going to be for this one.

[Deleted]

This seems interesting. I'll do it.

[Blurry]

Count me in.

3 weeks left to submit! 6 submissions so far.

Here's ballot update #1!
- The first 4 lists all had one certain song in the bottom 10. @walker9 was the first to not have it in his bottom 10, and jtd Thee Stallion did not place it there as well.
- The lowest highest ranking for a song is in the #45-49 range. I won't say which number. It is currently #68.
- The #68 is trailing #67 by 23 points.
- The #1 is ahead of #2 by 5 points.

Because you submitted after my reminder. Next reminder you will be under submitted.

[Normi]

I like basically evething up to about 50
And I love very many songs on this list (25 or so)

2014 was such a strong year and remains one of my favorites ever!!

[woods]

1 week left to submit! I got 4 submissions in the past week, so there are 12 submissions so far.

Here's ballot update #3!
- The #1 is ahead of #2 by 82 points!
- The #68 is trailing #67 by 18 points.
- Only one song has no top half rankings now. It's not the same song as before.
- All 68 songs have at least one bottom half ranking.
- The highest SD may not be expected, but you wouldn't be surprised once you saw the huge gap in its rankings.

Any chance you would extend the deadline to tomorrow? I wanted to do it today but it seems like I have no time to send a list today.
I'd understand if you don't want to.

The deadline is still tonight but as usual I allow submissions until I post the #68 which I originally planned to be tomorrow. So yes you can, but do it as soon as possible tomorrow, like by 2pm EST.
