"Love So Soft" was so divisive last time, so I'm pretty surprised it got as high as it did. #12 for my highest song isn't bad at all, although I wish it could've sneaked into the top 10.
I think I only have one top 10 left, and I'm really rooting for it to win this whole thing!

So you're the individual someone was claiming on the Pulse Confessional that ruined rankdowns on purpose. It all makes sense now. I didn't realize that everyone was required to participate if they gave a list of songs. I guess I will refrain from sending a list for the Spring and Summer ones too. I also didn't realize how involved it would be to participate in this particular game/tournament. I didn't even submit lists for the 2 current rankdowns I have going on despite the fact that I am the host of those two. I have been super busy with work lately. It's actually much harder than it sounds despite all the stories I have shared in RT. I don't just sit up in an ivory tower somewhere sipping on champagne all day having someone feed me grapes. I usually only go up to my office to eat. Or cry occasionally. I am out there on the floor jumping in and actually helping customers and my fellow managers and associates. 'Required' is a strong word. But fwiw madnesses are not like regular rankdowns, so it's not 'you submitted songs, therefore you are expected to play.' It's 'you submitted songs and are now expecting a bunch of other people to take time out of their day to listen to them, so it would be considerate of you to do the same for theirs.' Everyone's busy. We all have jobs or go to school or are caretakers or get sick or whatever. James himself has had to postpone reveals before for literally every reason I just listed except the caretaker one so don't throw shade like you're the only one who doesn't have time. You just chose not to make the time. Look at it this way: normal rankdowns are the Pulse equivalent of someone throwing a house party, buying all the food and drinks themselves, and inviting people to stop by. Since the host made all the plans himself, no one else is expected to contribute anything. But Madness tournaments/rankdowns are the equivalent of a Pulse potluck where there's a sign-up sheet, and everyone who says they are coming agrees to bring something for the party. If you're not able to stay for the whole event or show up at the very start, that's fine. But don't be the bitch who signs up for plates and utensils and then wonders why everyone is side-eyeing you for showing up with Dollar Tree s**t, making multiple trips to the buffet line, and rolling out without even speaking to the host. That's just poor manners. Well now I feel terrible.

Hey cool top 10! Gonna ignore whatever this drama is and actually answer the questions!
What songs are you surprised made the Top 10? Slaves for sure. What songs are you surprised didn't make the Top 10? Bit surprised something like How Long or LSS didnβt make it. What song do you think goes all the way to #1? I still think Free wins it all. Predict the Top 10. 1. Free 2. Pool 3. Sorry 4. Life Itself 5. Los Ageless 6. Diane 7. Live in the Moment 8. The Louvre 9. Second One to Know 10. Iβd Rather See Your Star Explode

I feel disappointed... I guess? But that's not surprising in a Rankdown with 5 genres and many Rock posters :sip2:

Day I Die deserved better than #18, the instruments on that song are so good. Not surprised but disappointed Anywhere didn't make the top 10, it's one of my favorites pop songs of the year so far.
Pool made the top 10! Wow, I definitely didn't expect this, hope it can even go top 5.
What songs are you surprised made the Top 10? Pool,Β Second One to Know. What songs are you surprised didn't make the Top 10? How Long. What song do you think goes all the way to #1? I think Live In The Moment got this, I don't see Free getting enough love. Predict the Top 10. 1. Live In The Moment 2.Β Sorry 3.Β Life Itself 4.Β Free 5.Β Diane 6.Β Los Ageless 7.Β I'd Rather See Your Star Explode 8. The Louvre 9.Β Pool 10.Β Second One to Know
Remaining ranks:Β #2, 7, 8, 9, 10 12, 15, 18 23, 28

Now I want to see Slaves send the song to pop radio just to see if they pull off a miracle a third time.

I really hope one of my Top 20s will win. You can probably guess my #2 and #38 based on my comments lol

Like Austin, I didnβt participate in the #4 seeds rankdown so this was my first listen of Slaves and I absolutely loved it. So glad itβs still in and hope it sticks around for a bit longer.
Now on the other hand, The Louvre was also a first listen and let me just say that song has already placed about 30 spots too high...

Honest question: for those of you that don't like much country music, what is it about "Diane" that you do enjoy? "Second One To Know" I kinda get because its much more AAA than Country anyway, but I'm honestly baffled that a stone-cold country song like "Diane" makes the top 10 here. Please enlighten me!

I'm not a genuine country fan so I'm gonna answer.
I really enjoy the lyrics, the radio friendly melody and the vocals (the harmonies kill me ffs). Plus, she sounds legit. Like she's been a country superstar for at least 15 years now. The song is ear candy! Unlike "Second One To Know" lol

Hello everyone! As I sort of expected, I missed last night for revealing, so instead we'll be doing the Top 10 tonight β er, I mean now! dumb daylight savings time making me lose an hourWe have 10 songs remaining, and 10 songs will be revealed tonight. To keep up with tradition, my lazy ass is just going to go right into the #10 preview instead of doing a full Top 10 preview. But hey, let's do a seed count for fun! Seed 1: 3/10 Seed 2: 1/10 Seed 3: 2/10 Seed 4: 4/10 Now for #10: Our friend at #10 received nine Top 10 rankings. Only two people ranked this in the Top 5, and one of those is a #1. On the flipside, just three people put this song in their bottom 10 β though, two of those are inside the bottom 3. This was one that was pretty well-liked, as it has the 7th lowest standard deviation of the game. This song was a Top 10 fixture for the most part, but it didn't stay in the Top 10 consistently until list #15. Before that, it only hit the Top 10 once. After that, it fell out just twice, and one of those times almost cost it the Top 10 placement in the finale.

Finally. Probably the worst song I've heard from him. Could grow on me but I won't really make that happen lol
Now my bottom 5 is cleared out! My #33 out next please (it'll probably make the top 5 though)

#9 is an interesting fella.
Just seven people ranked this song inside of their Top 10, our lowest mark of the Top 10. However, it makes up for that because over half of those are #1s. This has low hate too...sort of. Just six people ranked this song in their bottom 10. However, three of those are in the bottom 3: two of those are close to #40, while the other is a #40 (one of our three remaining).
This one was always poised to do well. It had Top 20 pretty much on lock, but it didn't hit the Top 10 until later on, and it only lasted in the Top 10 for eight lists. In its defense, they're the most important ones: the end.
