THE TOP FIVE Don't You Want Me Africa Destroy Everything You Touch Starlight Black
#5 was probably the most pleasant surprise for me in this entire rankdown. Outside of the top ten, at first, this song jumped into the top ten around the halfway point and never looked back. In fact, had the submission period for this continued, I think this could have had a shot of going even higher. That's what happens when you encounter a song that did not have a single bottom ten ranking. Meanwhile, four posters lose top tens, with three of those being top fives. This is one of the two remaining very low standard deviations.

How fitting is it that my favorite pleasant surprise in this Journey rankdown is in the exact same spot as the most pleasant surprise from the first Journey? Good job, Ladytron.

Still not 'Africa' then, 'cause you didn't mention clearing out a top 10.
Well then~

We have arrived at the final tie of the second Journey, all the way up at #3 and #4. As it turns out, both of these songs have the same highest ranking, a #1, but the second-highest ranking was higher for the #3 song, so #4 has to...well...settle for #4. Along with that #1 loss, four others lose a top ten ranking, with two of those being top fives. We also see one of the four remaining uncleared bottom tens get cleared here.

Was I seriously the only bottom 10 for this? I thought this would be high in SD.

This would have been my #4 (behind "Let It Happen", "Carin at the Liquor Store", and "See Hell").
So I guess: P-P-P-PERFECT RANKING!

I've never heard of this group or artist before this rankdown. I'd absolutely recommend Ladytron. They have some solid albums and songs. Not the best artist, but they have their place in my playlist, for sure. This is probably their best song, though, so if you weren't head over heels for this, you PROBABLY won't care about the rest of their discog. As I mentioned before, #3 has a #1 loss, but it also has a #2 loss. And a #3 loss. And a #4 loss. It also has two other top ten rankings. The only thing preventing this song from further Journey domination were its two bottom tens, which clear those posters' bottom tens. It's been a rough ride for one of these posters, in particular, but his persistence is about to pay off...

Congratulations, willapted33 . You have finally cleared your bottom ten with this reveal. I would congratulate myself, but that would be silly. Troy , great run for your #1, but it just missed the rankdown #1 cut. And congratulations on your P-P-P-P-PERFECT RANKING, Green.

If Muse wins, I'll call BS, since I know Red admitted to being a Muse superfan on the Unpopular Opinions thread earlier today.

You know, I won't lie...I wasn't expecting this top two. I thought that they might contend for a top five spot, but it was fairly obvious after a while that these two were the only two true #1 contenders to be found here. So, here's some stats to consider for the top two...or, as it's otherwise known, my top two. :kii:
- Both of these songs have #1 rankings. One of them has multiple #1 rankings. (No brownie points for guessing which.) - The point gap for this top two was decidedly much less wide than the first Journey. Whereas "Black Hole Sun" won the first Journey by nearly sixty points, the gap between #1 and #2 here is 1/4 the size: Fifteen points. - These songs have FIFTEEN total top ten rankings between them. Individually, they have the two most top ten rankings. - Both songs have two rankings each in the bottom 20. - One of these songs has the fourth-lowest standard deviation.
We'll reveal the top two shortly!

If you're wondering who to thank for this song not being #1...I expect to hear Doc Indie Party Rock 's name shouted to the skies shortly.
