My 20 will probably win...

[willapted33]

Catch Me Outside deserved way f-ing better

hopefully Kanye, Travis, Gambino, Jamie or Uzi can win

[Beno]

It's a shame Catch Me Outside is out already, it was my favourite first listen here by far.

I can't really see anything other than Kanye or Gambino winning tbh

[jtd Thee Stallion]

Entering top 5 territory today, what's to come:

• 3rd and 5th highest SD; lowest and 5th lowest SD.
• No #1s, but one of the two remaining 20s...
  

...and it's coming with #8. Two other bottom 3 ranks, and 6 top 5s with a highest rank of 3. 3rd highest SD.

There's a 26 point gap between #6 and #7, and it shows in the results as #6 received 10 top 10 rankings, and only one bottom 3. Finished 1 point behind #5.

[aerodynamite]

Oh good, that clears my lowest two remaining.

I'm cool with any of the top 6 winning.

Guidance is one of my favourite songs from Birds in the Trap. Good Times missing the top 5 hurts my soul.

[jtd Thee Stallion]

Here we go folks, the reveal of the TOP 4!

The top 4 looks like this:

Points: 87, 90, 93, 113
SD: 4.021 (3rd lowest), 4.279 (4th lowest), 5.345 (9th lowest), 6.034 (4th highest) NOT in finishing order

No previews before songs just straight posts (they'll be like 8-12 minutes apart)

Getting 4 #1 ranks in the first 9 submissions and 1/3 of them overall, this was the clear favorite. It traded the #1 spot with two of the remaining songs and never left the top 2... until the 10th submission which was @walker9 's, that knocked it down to 4th place and it never recovered. It finished 20 points behind #3, so before we attack him it wasn't really close to winning.

Remaining Songs
Childish Gambino - IV. Sweatpants
Miguel - Told You So
Alicia Keys - In Common

You don't like Ultralight Beam?  :o  explain.

[aerodynamite]

Oh good, now I don't have to hate gravey for preventing one of my favorites from winning.

Amazing top 3, all favorites of mine.

Wasn't my type. Some things just annoyed me, and I like a lot of Kanye songs.

The song that inspired me to do my first rankdown with its showing in Winter Madness... the only song to remain in the top 3 for the ENTIRE submission process, and it was knocked down from #2 late.

IV. Sweatpants vs. In Common

[owenlovesmusic]

I had a feeling this would be 3rd. Top 2 songs are both top 10s of mine I think.

[Deleted]

YES! AMAZING TOP 2!

[Zach]

I'm rooting for Sweatpants at this point.

In Common was always ahead of Sweatpants, and the closest the two were at any point was after the last submission. After @walker9 tanked Ultralight Beam down to a tie for 3rd after the 10th submission, In Common was ahead of Sweatpants by 14 points, and after the 12th (lyhom ) it was ahead by 21! However, the next three submissions of sergejdordij , Zach , and Ice Cream 15 (Broccoli 2018)  brought the gap back down to 3 points, and helped Sweatpants capture 2nd over Told You So at the last minute.

[owenlovesmusic]

Wow. I am shocked. Both great songs but I thought Sweatpants would win. Anyway, thanks you for hosting jtd Thee Stallion!
