Oh awesome We Found Love didn't win, it's just basic imo. Love all 4 remaining songs, rooting for Sweet Nothing/Blame/Slide top 3 I guess.

I love this song SO MUCH. First, it reminds me of the type of music they'd play on the radio in Tampa on the Ybor 'club nights' when I was in high school. Stuff like K5 Passion, Mona Q Stay In Love, Precious Little Fantasy, etc. It's not breakbeat, but something about the house sound and the anonymity of the vocals when I first heard it took me to another time and place completely. Second, when this song was out my friends and I were on a little beach vacation, went to a bar one night and one of my friends requested this. The song was pretty new, the DJ was on the older side, and the bar wasn't playing cutting edge music. A few minutes later the Bee Gees come on "...I know your eyes in the morning sun... " . She's mortified because she killed the groove of the music, and I'm cracking up. She goes back to the DJ and asks for the right one, and he starts mixing Calvin into the Bee Gees (they don't mix at all), and then she's even more embarrassed. Probably had to be there, but this song just has it all for me.

So, which single misses out on the top 2 battle? At #3 is a song that struggled to reach the top 5 for a majority of the submission period. But the tides turned with the last ten submissions and it ended up getting four #1 rankings and a total of 23 top 10 rankings while only receiving one bottom 5 ranking. It landed 11 points ahead of “Slide”.

You were 4 spots too soon.

#3. "Blame"
"Blame" is the third single from Calvin Harris' fourth album Motion, which features vocals from John Newman. The song, which was sent to radio on September 4, 2014, was released three days later. The track reached atop in the UK, becoming his third #1 in a row there, and made the Top 20 in the US. It was also included in John Newman's second album Revolve. Didn't expect this one to get so much love but, damn, I also didn't quite expect Ky 's harshness lol.Total Points: 873 Standard Deviation: 7.89 Average Ranking: 9.32 Rankings:

I love "Slide", but I'm genuinely surprised it got this far.
"We Found Love" really reminds me of living in Miami and being 21 at the time. My #1 anthem on this list.

Why is slide so high ?? FUN FACT: I was playing a lot of Minecraft when 18 Months came out, and I think Thinking About You literally samples the Minecraft spider hiss. I would s**t my pants whenever it came up on shuffle while I was in a cave. Do you hate sunshine because that's all that radiates out of Slide.

This is it! The top 2! It’s the battle of 18 Months. The song that misses the top spot also holds the lowest SD of the category. This song got a total of 21 top 10 rankings and not a single ranking lower than #19 which well explains its low SD and yet is only good enough for #2.

#2. "Feel So Close"
"Feel So Close" is the second single from Calvin Harris' third album 18 Months. The track, which was premiered on Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 on July 8, 2011, was released on August 19, 2011, reaching at #2 in the UK. It was the first song he promoted in the US as a solo artist, following the success of "We Found Love", and it reached at #12 there.
I really loved the fact that not a single person thought this was less than top 20 worthy. <3

#1. "Sweet Nothing"
"Sweet Nothing" is the fifth single from Calvin Harris' third album 18 Months, which features vocals from Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine. The song, which was premiered on The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1 on August 28, 2012, was released on October 14, 2012. The track reached atop in the UK and the Top 10 in the US. “Sweet Nothing” is the #1 Calvin Harris single! And it really didn’t have much competition right from the get-go. It never left the top 3 and scored a rankdown-high 26 top 10 rankings. It all came down to the number of #1s though and this one ran away with it…
Queen Florence takes another title!! Honestly, I was a bit surprised by how much support this song received but not dissatisfied by any means. snarksTotal Points: 968 Standard Deviation: 5.863 Average Ranking: 6.53 Rankings:

Do you hate sunshine because that's all that radiates out of Slide. I get the appeal of the song. I just don’t get how it made the top 5. Seems like the type of song that would be #15. Then again, #15 was I’m Not Alone, so... This rankdown has been messy in general. Flashback was #26...that's blasphemous!

Blame it on Ky! Don't blame gravey! I don't mind taking the blame for "Blame". If it makes anyone feel better, there's a huge gap between my #31 and #32.
