98: Hate My Life - Ranked this slightly lower than in the Alternative rankdown. Didn't realize how awful the lyrics were until now. I mean I thought the lyrics were awful in the first place, but even more so now. The song literally starts by complaining that hobos have it better than him, a million-dollar rock star. It only gets worse from there. I mean I haven't listened to it in full until a few weeks back so when I ranked it for 2009 alt, I based it off memory. And honestly I didn't know what hobos meant until now.

I'm sure that #89 is a song that a lot of you expected to see in the bottom ten. I'm a little surprised that it didn't end up there myself, but it did get enough of the support that it needed to escape. Two people lose a top 50 ranking, while five people lose a bottom ten, with only one of them being a bottom five ranking. Also, hilariously, there are not one, not two, but THREE P-P-P-P-PERFECT RANKINGS!

I know I say this after finishing every Active rankdown, but I forgot to say that this has to be the worst of them all. I don't think I can say I really like a song until I get to my Top 50. Also, there are so many songs from this year that are incredibly forgettable.

This can't be Bad Girlfriend as Red would've specified it had a top 10.

Haha. Whoa. I didn't know I ranked that so high. I don't think "Smash the Control Machine" is a great song or anything, but I guess compared to all of the other crap on this list, that would do it. On an Alternative rankdown, I'd probably rank it somewhere between #70-80.

Just two points ahead of "Smash the Control Machine", #88 did not lack for haters, either, with five people placing this song in their bottom ten, and two of those rankings being bottom fives. On the other hand, two posters ranked this song in their top 50, and for one...it's just not getting any better.

So this is the same band that made that ear-bleedingly awful cover of "Royals".
I was actually laughing at how awful and cliched this song was. One of the most stereotypical "rebel" songs I've ever heard.
I'm going to hope that #88 is "I Almost Told You That I Loved You".

Also, this BOMBED on Active, what the hell - it did nothing on Alt, as to be expected, but it was a second single following up a #1 hit and it just BARELY made top 20? Can't say it deserved any better

#87 has already surpassed expectations compared to where it has finished in rankdowns in the past...but it shall ride on the highway no more. Just three bottom ten losses will be revealed here, though two of them are bottom fives. Only one person ranked this song in their top 50...and barely.

Fun fact: Rowell is already down to just one bottom ten remaining. After just fourteen songs. The guy is a closeness savant.
Our final reveal for tonight, #86, has just three bottom ten rankings, but they're all bottom fives, and, in the case of one, one of our last two #100 losses. This song also has two top 50 rankings, but those are also pretty high, with both being top 30 rankings.
