1. Ideally somewhere between 40-50 2. TOP TEN THIS TIME BABY 3. I want it Top 10, but I see it Late Tens Early Twenties 4. I don't know. This was my first time ever hearing this song, and it completely left an impact. I wish it the best 5. See Number 4 6. Hopefully Better then it did in the Alt. It got done dirty. 7. Going by the last list, not a Snowball in Hell can get this song out of the Bottom 25 8. After a Relisten, I needed to put this as a Top 10. I see it barely making 50 though. 9. See Number 6 10. See Number 4

1) #1 contender. 2) I'm hoping for better things this time. Top 20 would be nice. 3) I'm not sure. This could be a rare song of theirs that has a high standard deviation. Maybe there's enough support for them to go top ten again, though? 4) Sleeper hit here. Could go top ten or even higher. 5) #1 contender. 6) I'm hoping for this song to do better, too, perhaps even more than my #2. This got robbed last time. 7) Feels like this should be a top ten contender, but you never know. 8) Will do better than the Alt rankdown...but how much better? 9) Could see this in the top 20, but it feels like it will perform on the same level as a song from the '09 Active RD that also went top 20. 10) Will perform better than the Alt rankdown, but not by much, sadly.

Follow Up Question for Everyone: How many of your Bottom 10 do you see escaping The Bottom 10? Please note, that doesn't mean they'll be successful, just that they escape 91-100

So, this is it. It’s finally here. The 2008 Active rankdown. I signed up for hosting duties on a whim because I was bored and also because I wanted to have some experience hosting rankdown before I take on an even bigger duty soon, which some of you already know about. As you all know by now, I am the Green Baron, and I am delighted to be your host for the occasion. I’m excited to join the revolving set of rankdown hosts for the foreseeable future. The elephant in the room is, of course, that this is my first time hosting a rankdown. I’m not going to make any promises and swear that I’ll be perfect, but I’ll do all that I can. If anything looks wrong, let me know. It’s going to be a learning process, with hopefully minimal slipups along the way.
I set a deadline at two weeks which reconfirmed everything I thought of - that these lists come in waves, with a huge rush at the beginning, a long dead zone in the middle, and then another huge rush at the end. Looking over your lists were exciting (and sometimes disappointing), and it was nice to see things from a different point of view. Updating the spreadsheet was tedious at times, but finding out how each list changed the rankings kept me on the edge of my seat. This will be an exciting rankdown, even if the song selection may not be the best. With that said, I now declare the 2008 Active rankdown officially open. Let the games begin!

#100 sees us start with a familiar face. Eleven bottom 10s are lost, including NINE bottom 5s, EIGHT bottom 3s, SEVEN bottom 2s and three #100s. The two top 50s… well, you’ll see.

#99 is another carryover from the Alt rankdown. NINE bottom tens get lost here, THREE of them being bottom 5s and one #100. This song spent most of the ranking process as the #100, but was saved by someone's top 50 ranking. Someone else also loses a top 50, and he will not be happy to see himself starting off the rankdown by losing two top 50s in a row.

#98 is where the real fun begins. Why? Because we see our first top 10 loss. No, scratch that, our first top 5 loss. I'll cut the bullsht - someone loses a #2. This song also spent time as the #100, and before craziaskowboi sent me the final list, it was #100, which I would have loved to have kept because this meant that this person would have lost his #2 at #100.
Nine bottom 10s, seven bottom 5s, but no #100s.

The suffering does not end for Doc in #97. After the second list, this song spent the whole process in the bottom 10. It was #100 for one list, the only person who loses his #100 in the reveal. Eight bottom tens and three bottom fives exit, as well as another top 5.
