Rankdown Extra
"One Kiss"
British King and Queen lbr.
Jess Glynne is the true British queen (when comparing UK success to US success, at least), but I'm cool with this.

"Let's Go" is great; haters can GTFO. Thank you for the compliment. <3 Either way, I don't hate "Let's Go", but I felt disappointed when it came out, mainly because it was a key release in America and it ended to be "We Found Love" part 2. However, I don't deny that it goes off, especially the Calvin Harris mix, which is the instrumental version. Are Calvin's singles from before "We Found Love" really remembered? Because I am pretty sure the majority of people were not familiar with his songs from before then. Of course, they are. Adam is one of the Scottish acts who had some success in Europe (including seven UK Top 10, where two of them ["Dance Wiv Me" and "I'm Not Alone"] reached atop) and Oceania before his career took off after the release of "We Found Love", making him to cross over to America. As a consequence, they are not necessarily known by mainstream US audience, but his songs were known at the clubs. Oh, I didn't know that they were hits in the U.K., lol. But, from the perspective of a North American, those songs were unfamiliar to most. I never heard anyone even mention Calvin until the success of "We Found Love". I should have clarified that.

"One Kiss" really rubbed me the wrong way. Dua's delivery on the verses is alright, but everything else about the song feels annoyingly bland to me. I just can't get into it. It would have possibly been my last-place song in the singles rankdown.

And we're in homestretch! We'll begin final reveals with the Remixes category as we close out the top 5. Kicking things off in the Remixes top 5 is a song that did receive one #1 ranking and ends up with the fifth-lowest SD in addition to being the #5 song in the category. Remixes Top 5 Florence and the Machine – Spectrum (Say My Name) Kelis - 4th of July (Fireworks) SZA - The Weekend (Funk Wav Remix) The Killers - When You Were Young The Ting Tings - Great DJ

Honestly, I'm just relieved this made the top 5.
Calvin did an excellent job of taking the original and shaping it into something new while remaining faithful to the original.

At #4 for Remixes we’ve finally arrived at the last of the four ties in the category. Both songs have 175 points and both songs had a high ranking of #3. But this next song loses out as it only received one #3 ranking while the other received three.

At #3 in Remixes, we have the winner of the 175-point tie. With three #3 rankings, it seems only right that this song lands at the #3 position.

The song at #2 for Remixes did really well despite not receiving any #1 rankings. It managed to score 9 out of 10 top 10 rankings. Its highest rank is a #2, which ultimately cemented its place in second. Remixes Top 2 Florence and the Machine – Spectrum (Say My Name) vs. SZA - The Weekend (Funk Wav Remix)

"The Reeling" is a massive song for me so I don't care who remixes it...I was not here for anything but the original. "When You Were Young" remix I don't know what exactly didn't click for me. Not that I hated it or anything...still friends?

Remixes
#1. Florence and the Machine – "Spectrum (Say My Name)"
And really, there was no contest whatsoever. This song ran away with it from the get-go scoring over 40 points more than “The Weekend” thanks to five #1 rankings (half of the participants) and no ranking below #3 giving it an amazing average rank and the lowest SD of the entire rankdown across all three categories.
Queen Florence takes it!

EWW, Spectrum probably would have been in my bottom 5. Did not like it at all, especially her voice in that song.

Holy fu ck, all top 3 ranks? That and the SD have to be some kind of record. In a Christina Aguilera Album Rankdown, there was a song that everyone had last place except for 1 person, who had it 2nd to last place. So that is probably the lowest SD ever in a Rankdown.
