This was a great list of songs. Made a lot of good discoveries. My #1 wasn't from an artist that I knew (even if I only knew like five beforehand).
The only songs I disliked fully were my bottom 3, which were pretty much downright awful (sorry Az, lol), but I found at least something to like in everything else.

Okay, I'm ready to send, except there's one song (Crazy Possessive) that I couldn't listen to via Youtube because it was geoblocked. Is there anywhere else I can find it and listen to it?

I'm just about ready to kick off reveals, the first one should be up in about 10 minutes~ Here's a little teaser info for #25, to start off with: GAME PROGRESSION: 10-18-15-23-25-25-25-25-25-25-25 STANDARD DEVIATION: 6.178816859 AVERAGE RANKING: 20.8 There are 11 numbers in the progression run, but only 10 participants. Why? Well just like in the ARIA Assortment I changed my list partway through. I made three main changes to my list; I swapped two songs around in my rankings, and boosted a third song up to replace my original #1. What exactly I did to my list, I'll fill you in as we get to each of those songs. One person is about to immediately lose a top 10. On the other hand, half of the game's bottom rankings are about to be casually kicked aside. Actually, in this first set of five reveals EIGHT people are going to ditch their bottom rankings. All but one ranking on #25 is a bottom half placement; surprisingly this is not in the top 5 for highest SD OR lowest SD.

"Keep my attention, I'm ready to go My only intention's to give you a show Light it up, I know you want it Take a puff, let's get high off our love High off our love"Okay, I actually really love this song - of course the day it came out, Britney and Iggy dropped ‘Pretty Girls’ so it’s obvious which song got all the attention. But it was Paris who had the vastly superior song; this is everything a quality Paris Hilton record could be - strong and catchy production that plays well to Paris’ vocal capabilities, and with a great music video directed by Hannah Lux Davis. Everything was done right with this song - but I guess because it’s Paris it’s an easy song to reject on principle, which is why it was an easy target for last-place rankings. But here’s the thing - we’re immediately at one of the songs I changed on my list. As the first number in the song’s progression is from my original list, you can see that this was initially my #10 before I dropped it down to my #25. By this time it had several bottom rankings in a row and was never getting out of last place; meanwhile my original #25 was faring a lot better (and in hindsight I’d underranked that song anyway). So I swapped my #10 and #25 around - you’ll just have to wait for the top 10 to find out what I’d originally tanked.{Rankdown Evolution} Az Paynter - #10 Disco - #18 DistrictTwelve - #15 Wheatsquares33 - #23 Aerodynamite - #25 Disassociative - #25 James - #25 Az (After Edits) - #25 Preds Pride - #25 Leo - #25 Cynthia - #25 {Songs Remaining} Anthony Callea - Perfect Mistake Ben Hazlewood - Stay Tonight BT - Somnambulist (Simply Being Loved) (ft.

"If you get a feeling A feeling that I'm feeling Won't you come closer, closer to me baby You've already got me right where you want me baby I just want to be your man"I’ve had a crush on Matt Bomer ever since I first saw him on White Collar lol, and for me it’s just icing on an already delicious cake that the man can SING. Too bad his recordings are limited to a few cover songs from Glee and the Magic Mike XXL soundtrack (although to be fair they are good covers lol). I’m a little disappointed this one didn’t fare well (being my first top 10 loss) but I also know what’s coming so I’m not that let down by it lol. But I need a proper Matt Bomer album in my life, plz lawd make it happen!{Rankdown Evolution} Az Paynter - #6 Disco - #15 DistrictTwelve - #9 Wheatsquares33 - #18 Aerodynamite - #22 Disassociative - #22 James - #22 Az (After Edits) - #22 Preds Pride - #22 Leo - #24 Cynthia - #24 {Songs Remaining} Anthony Callea - Perfect Mistake Ben Hazlewood - Stay Tonight BT - Somnambulist (Simply Being Loved) (ft.

Coming up with #23: GAME PROGRESSION: 20-25-24-25-24-24-24-24-24-22-23 STANDARD DEVIATION: 8.485936077 (HIGHEST SD) AVERAGE RANKING: 17.3 I'm a little surprised this is the song that wound up with the highest SD (or that we're even ditching it this soon) but there are THREE top 10 rankings out the window with this song; one of them is even our first top 5 loss. Two more #25 rankings are also tossed out with this song, and with the number of bottom 5 rankings this song got, it was going nowhere fast (as evidenced by my original list being the only time it was ever out of the bottom 5).

"Call me crazy, every time that I turn around You're on my baby, ooh, but I'm his lady Am I possessive? Just because I'm claiming what's mine You're crossing the line"Kaci was a child singer who had some success in the UK, then in the late 2000’s she attempted a comeback with her second album ‘Bring It On’. This was the lead single from the album, and it made the top 50 on pop radio - but that’s about it. I wish it and the next single ‘Body Shots’ had been smashes. But I also hear Kaci retired from music, became a born-again Christian and went back to school for an engineering degree of some kind lmao.{Rankdown Evolution} Az Paynter - #20 Disco - #25 DistrictTwelve - #24 Wheatsquares33 - #25 Aerodynamite - #24 Disassociative - #24 James - #24 Az (After Edits) - #24 Preds Pride - #24 Leo - #22 Cynthia - #23 {Songs Remaining} Anthony Callea - Perfect Mistake Ben Hazlewood - Stay Tonight BT - Somnambulist (Simply Being Loved) (ft.

I really liked the Kaci song when it was a single and I still do. The music video was so hilarious and over the top. I ranked it so low because there were so many other great ones.

Coming up with #22: GAME PROGRESSION: 24-23-18-19-20-21-23-23-23-23-22 STANDARD DEVIATION: 5.78215646 (5TH LOWEST SD) AVERAGE RANKING: 16.1 This song had an early hope spot of escaping the bottom 5, but it didn't take long at all before it got dragged right back there. There is only one top 10 ranking here but it's another top 5. This person is already having a bad start so this song leaving so early is gonna sting. It has a number of middling rankings and only two bottom 5's which helped with its low SD.

"Do not try me, devil, devil Cannot buy me, devil, devil You won't make a fool of me, oh no What makes you so special, special To think I would ever settle For that devious dance between you and me"I don’t actually know much about Milck beyond she’s an independent artist (I think?) and her song ‘Quiet’ was used in protest against Trump during the Women’s March. This song is one I heard on ‘Lucifer’ and I liked it a lot. Not really much more to say here lol, but when it came to my list since I didn’t have as strong an attachment to it the song was just fodder for my bottom half.{Rankdown Evolution} Az Paynter - #24 Disco - #23 DistrictTwelve - #18 Wheatsquares33 - #19 Aerodynamite - #20 Disassociative - #21 James - #23 Az (After Edits) - #23 Preds Pride - #23 Leo - #23 Cynthia - #22 {Songs Remaining} Anthony Callea - Perfect Mistake Ben Hazlewood - Stay Tonight BT - Somnambulist (Simply Being Loved) (ft.

p-p-perfect ranking for Matt Bomer! Sorry but that cover was becky af. It's not that Bomer himself is super becky, but it would be like Britney trying to cover Adina Howard's Freak Like Me. You have to pick the songs that cater to your strengths. Bomer's brand of sex appeal is more suited to a Wicked Games type of vibe than Untitled, IMO.
Hated the Battaglia song. Maybe the only song I outright hated, now that I think about it. Untitled was just cringe-worthy, but everything else was at least ok.

Coming up with #21, our last reveal for the day: GAME PROGRESSION: 16-11-10-14-16-13-17-17-20-21-21 STANDARD DEVIATION: 5.719362824 (4TH LOWEST SD) AVERAGE RANKING: 15.6 This is our first song to enter the triple digits in points; it also had a much brighter hope spot than 'Devil Devil' since it managed to slip into the top 10 early on. But with only two top 10 rankings, the greater number of bottom half rankings pulled it right back down again, straight down to the bottom 5. This managed to get away with the next lowest SD due to how close the majority of its rankings are.
