Posting in a different font because... IT'S TIME FOR OUR FIRST B-B-B-B-BALLOT UPDATE! Our first three submissions come from the creator of the ballot update, Red himself, alt rock board veteran Cody, and committed rankdown participant peacebone!!!
-We've had two different number ones. The current number one is now taking a somewhat large lead, for this portion in the rankdown. However, things can easily change, as we all know. The current #2 was the previous #1. -6 songs have been in every single top 10. 3 of those make up our current top 5. -One song dropped from top 5 status all the way down to just barely making top 50. -14 total different songs have been in the top 10 so far. -4 songs have been in every bottom 10 so far, and they're currently our bottom 4. -12 songs have crossed the 300 point mark. 15 songs still have not reached the 100 point mark. We've established some clear front runners, and some clear bottom dwellers. -3 songs have not even crossed the 50 point threshold. - We currently have a song with a standard deviation of almost 50, and one with a standard deviation of almost 5. -And of course, it's a ballot update. It's everyone's favorite part of the ballot update...
We currently have ties at #15, #20, #25 (is this a trend?), #40 (guess not), #57, #72, and #88. We also have three-way ties at #29 and #59,

Expect "Speak Easy" and "King Without A Crown" to go decently high on my list if anyone is wondering if it's going to get some votes.

I did pretty well in 2007 rankdown but expect to do pretty poorly for 2006.

It pains me to hear people bad mouthing Rob Zombie, big fan of his work. I will say that "Foxy Foxy" was the worst single this era, and "Let It All Bleed Out" and "American Witch" are both significantly better. Look out for those when we do 2006 Active ;)
Submitted my list. This was one of strongest years we've done, along with 2012. Like I said before, one of my all-time favorite songs appears this year. My top 10 is so strong and has so much variety.

What's this? A different font? That's because it's time for our second B-B-B-BALLOT UPDATE! This time, we get lists from resident moose Walking Contradiction, rankdown veteran dm2081, and everyone's favorite snack wheatsquares33! Willow Rinadoobee Breakfast and janinho, you'll be in the next ballot update!
-Our former number one is no longer number one. In fact, it almost fell out of the top 20. The new number one currently has a good 25 point lead over the current #2. The new number one appeared after dm's ranking. -Only 3 songs have been in every top 10 so far, and they are all in the top 5. This is any man's game. -3 songs have been in every bottom 10 so far. Oddly enough, our #100 is not one of those songs. -Today is cloudy with a chance of talking about THRESHOLDS. This is big to discuss, because we only have one song above the 600 point mark. This song is, obviously, the number one song. Meanwhile, 3 songs have not crossed the 100 point mark. -One song is surprising me at how well it's doing. But then again, it is Pulse ;) . -Right now, our lowest standard deviation is 8.50. Our highest standard deviation is 42.29. -You got a big interview? Good thing we got your wardrobe prepared...
We currently have ties at #11 (phew, almost had to sound the alarm), #19, #36, #46, #59, and #61. We also have 3 three-way ties at #52, #68 and #82.

It's the most wonderful time of the year... time for another B-B-B-BALLOT UPDATE! This time we have submissions from everyone's favorite exclamation, Willow Rinadoobee Breakfast, active rock poster janinho, and... hold on, myself, @humanshazam!
-Our number one changed with Crap's list, and it has stayed there for the past three lists. The previous number one has been number 2 for the past three lists. Looks like we have two clear contenders for the coveted top spot! -Only 2 new songs entered the top 5 with the past three lists; one of them quickly dropped out of the top 15, and the other was a previous top 5 song. -Our number 100 has remained constant. This one has gotten hardly any love. -We had a total of 6 new songs enter the top 10. Some have dropped out, some have stayed in. -A former number one dipped outside of the top 20 in this ballot update. -Only 2 new songs entered the bottom 10, and one of them already left the bottom 10. -2 songs have not even crossed the 100 point mark, and only 3 points separate them. Perhaps these 2 will be our 100 and 99 at the end of the day? -Our top 3 all have over 800 points. 30 points separate our 1 and 2, and 35 points separate our 2 and 3, so any song can still take the top spot. -Our highest standard deviation is 39.56. Our lowest standard deviation is 8.84. And it's now time for Pulse's favorite segment...
We have ties at #25, #28, #47, #61, #66, #72, and #79. Sadly no three-way ties this time around, but stay tuned for next time.

This is a 1 and a half week warning for the deadline. I likely can't extend much, so try to get them in ASAP.

How do you guys feel about these Strokes songs? Because I know that this album era was a polarizing one for thier fan base. unpopular opinion but to me it's their best album, one of the best that year

It's that time... time for a B-B-B-B-BALLOT UPDATE!!! This time, we get lists from 80's veteran Troy , resident Aussie Beno , and rock rankdown pioneer Daryl the Beryl . Let's see how they affected our list...
-Our number one stays constant. And, it's gaining quite the lead over the number 2. It almost has a 100 point lead over 2. Our number 2 is not scarily close to falling out of the top 2, as our number 3 is coming up on it's trail. -Our top 6 have all crossed the 1000 point mark. 3 songs have not even crossed the 200 point mark. Actually, not even the 150 point mark. -Our former number one continues its hard descent. Now, it's our #34. Talk about a hard drop. -We had one new song enter the top 5 with beno's list, but it was replaced by it's predecessor with Daryl's list. -We had 3 new songs enter the top 10, but one has fallen out of the top 10 already. -Our number 100 stays the number 100 with the past 3 lists. And, it still doesn't have a #100 ranking! -Our current highest SD is 36.60, and it's pretty consistently been the song with the highest SD. Our lowest SD is 11.91, and it's from a new song to hold that title. -Every song in the top 4 has a number one right now. -Only 2 songs have been in every top 10 so far. And they're top 2, coincidentally enough. 3 songs have been in every bottom 10 so far. Two of them have been number 100 at some point. Oddly enough, our current #100 reigning champ has escaped the bottom 10 at some point. -And what ballot update is complete without...
IT'S TIME TO SOUND THE ALARM!!! We have a tie in the top 10 for the first time, at #7. We also have ties at #24, #29, #31, #57, and #80. It seems like our ties are finally starting to lessen, sadly.

I personally thought this year was weaker than 07 and 08, but better than 09.
And yeah after listening to it, I'm all for "Foxy Foxy" for being #100 here. Did not like it at all.

Yikes judging from some of the comments, I don't expect my #1 to do as well as I'd hoped. But it continues to be one of my favorite songs to this day so oh well.
So glad this is starting soon!

Georgia font? You know what that means... it's time for another B-B-B-B-B-BALLOT UPDATE! This time, we received lists from Pulse veteran alexcuse, band name combination Lordef†ones, and alt rankdown usual Albie. @carseatlegrest, don't worry, you'll be in the next ballot update! Here's what went down with their lists. -Our number one continues to reign supreme. It has almost a 150 point total over the current number 2. Speaking of the number 2... -The previous number 2 that had stayed at that position for so long is no longer our number 2. It even fell out of the top 5 at one point. The new song to be number one surprises me a bit, but it's been high for practically the whole rankdown. -28 songs have now crossed the 1000 point threshold. 7 of those have crossed the 1200 point threshold, and only our number one is above 1400 points. -Our number 100 has changed! With alexcuse's list, we got a new 100, and the new 100 has stayed there for the past lists. It's also the only song to not have crossed the 200 point threshold. -We only had one new song enter the top 10 during the past 3 lists. It's not a new song to the top 10, and it's still in the top 10. -As usual, only two songs have been in the top 10 for every list. Additionally, only 2 songs have been in the bottom 10 for every list. Now, our 100 is one of those songs! -And what would be a ballot update without...
IT'S TIME TO SOUND THE ALARM!!! We have ties at #8, #12, #36, and #59. The ties are beginning to lessen.

Nice I’m glad the former 100 is no longer 100, I have a pretty good idea which song it is.

You know what time it is. It's B-B-B-B-BALLOT UPDATE TIME! This time, we got lists from alt board newcomer @carseatlegrest, stats master rowellfarm490, and Green Day song American Idiot! Let's take a look at how they affected the rankings... -Our number one continues to reign supreme. It currently has a commanding 150 point lead over song number 2. Speaking of song 2... -Our number 2 has changed. It's a song that's pretty consistently been in the top 10, and it's been number 2 for the past 3 lists. It's still a pretty close race for the number 2 spot, though. -Our 100 has stayed constant... and it still has not crossed 200 points yet. Poor song won't live to see the light of day. -We had a new song enter the top 5 for the first time during the past 3 lists. We also had 2 new songs enter the top 10, one of which had never been in the top 10 before. -Our current lowest SD is a minuscule 11.20. Our current highest SD is 34.55 -The top 50 songs have all crossed the 1000 point mark. Only 3 songs have crossed the 1500 point mark, however. -Yet again, only 2 songs have been in every top 10 so far. And, only 2 songs have been in every bottom 10 so far. -And of course, we're not just gonna forget about everyone's favorite section...
Do you hear that noise? Oh don't worry, it's just me SOUNDING THE ALARM!!! We have a tie in the top 10, at #8. We also have ties at #23, #26, #43, and #45. All top 50 ties!
