Ceremonials being the album with the best showing at the end isn't wrong but I'm sad that HBHBHB is down to its last 3 and one is out now. I don't even want to guess what it might be.

#12. "Queen of Peace"

“Queen of Peace" was released on August 21, 2015 as the third single their third studio album, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful.
A 10-minute double-feature music video for "Queen of Peace" and "Long and Lost", which was featured earlier in the rankdown,
was directed by Vincent Haycock and premiered on July 27, 2015. The short film comprises of parts 5 and 6 of The Odyssey.

It seemingly details the suffering of a mighty king and queen who have lost their son in battle, even though they still won;
it is a bitter-sweet victory. Florence compares her suffering in her relationship to the royal defeat told on the song.
Florence wrote a poem to follow the music video. During the performance at British Summer Time festival, the song featured
an extended outro and choreography by Holly Blakey. Blakey had previously choreographed both the “Delilah” and “Third Eye” music videos.
The single became the first Florence and the Machine single to miss the UK Top 100 Chart since "Lover to Lover" in 2012.
It peaked at #133 pm that chart and also charted in Belgium.

“Queen of Peace” had the eighth lowest standard deviation and consistently hovered around the top 20.
It received seven top 10 rankings and no bottom rankings in the end which helped it up to its final rank.

Standard Deviation: 9.15

Heavy In Your Arms deserved top 10

And Queen of Peace too

[Albie]

We close things out today with the song at #11, which comes to us from an album that hasn't appeared since #20, and that's Ceremonials.

This song had a rather high standard deviation. In fact, two people clear their bottom five while one person loses their #1.

#11. "Only If For a Night"

"Only If For A Night" is an album track, and the opening track, off Ceremonials.
It was one of the four songs premiered at the aforementioned performance at The Creators Project in Brooklyn in October of 2011.
In an interview, Florence has described the song as being about her late grandmother who died when Florence was just 11.
In a dream, Florence’s grandmother gave Florence practical advice regarding her career.
The song begins with a church bell-like piano riff before Florence enters with her vocals.
She told Spinner how producer Paul Epworth’s instrumentation prompted her to write the lyrics about her grandmother.
Florence has stated Joan of Arc and her grandmother as being the core inspirations behind the song, calling them “tragic heroines”.
"Only If For A Night" did not enter the Hot Rock Songs chart, but peaked at number 14 on the Rock Digital Songs chart.

I’ve gotten chills every time I’ve seen Florence do this song live. It truly impacted my ranking and why its so high on my list.
To my surprise, the song had the sixth highest standard deviation. Seven of us ranked it in our top 10 – including Linnethia Monique who, sadly, loses his #1.
Meanwhile, @carseatlegrest and recordyear both lose their #41 and clear out their bottom 5s.

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

PERPERPERPERPEPREPREFECT rank for #12. Only If For The Night was robbed. :( Such a perfect song.

[Agent Yoncé]

Tad bit surprised 'OIFAN' didn't hit the Top 10. This could've easily replaced 'S(SMY)' or 'NLNL'.

Well I wouldn't have guessed going into this that my top 5 would end up remaining unscathed. I love everything in the top 10 minus the Calvin Harris remix...switch this out for "Sweet Nothing" and I probably would've placed that inside my top 10 for sure.

Here's what I still have in: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #8, #9...looking good!

[Albie]

The final set of reveals kicks off shortly! We're counting down the top 10 next.

The song at #10 comes off the album that has half its songs in the top 10, and that's Ceremonials.
It has the second-highest standard deviation, two #1 rankings and one bottom five ranking.

And also, a look at the top 10 and the album breakdown.

Your Top 10:
Cosmic Love
Dog Days Are Over
Never Let Me Go
No Light, No Light

#10. "Spectrum (Say My Name) (Calvin Harris Remix)"

“Spectrum" is a track off Ceremonials which was originally premiered during a concert at Brooklyn's Creators Project in October 2011.
A remix of the album version of "Spectrum", titled "Spectrum (Say My Name)", was released on July 6, 2012, serving as the fourth single from Ceremonials.
Calvin Harris remixed "Spectrum", producing the uptempo electro house-inspired single. "Spectrum (Say My Name)" received positive reviews from music critics,
praising the production and Florence’s vocals. Lewis Corner of Digital Spy commented that "While the single version is near perfection,
an accompanying Calvin Harris remix highlights just how big a Florence house anthem can be".
Commercially, it became the band’s first single to peak at number one on the UK Singles Chart, selling 64,816 copies in its first week
and topping the chart for 3 weeks. The song sold 554,000 copies in the UK in 2012, and was the 19th best-selling single of 2012.
It is Florence and the Machine's best-selling single in the United Kingdom. It also reached number one in Ireland, Scotland, Hungary
and the US Dance Club Songs chart, and peaked within the top five in Australia and New Zealand and charted in 10 other countries.
The album version was released to US Alternative radio and peaked at #35 on US Hot Rock Songs.

The song finds Florence singing of how a relationship that exposes the full spectrum of feelings will produce a love that illuminates and shines forever.
She told BBC’s Newsbeat, the song “has a lot to do with rainbows and prisms.” The accompanying music video for the song premiered on May 30, 2012.
On May 25, 2012, a lyric video was released for the Calvin Harris remix and it is shown above followed by the video for the album version. 
The video also features Glove Slap's favorite wig. :kii:

And so we’ve reached the song with the second-highest standard deviation.
It received two #1 rankings and seven other top 10 rankings but also three bottom 10 rankings.
Snarks clears his bottom 5 here. Sorry for your losses ㅤ and aerodynamite .
