Not a long wait between 20-11 and the top ten, but the top ten waits for NO ONE.
What song is the first to be eliminated from the top ten? Well, it's a song that had an uphill climb to get to this point. Once it did, later in the rankdown, it did not look back. It spent the last couple of rankings in the top ten, though it's only four points ahead of "Sirens", so it's not like it was comfortably in the top ten...
Just one poster loses a bottom ten here, but it's a bottom ten clearer. Of the all but five people that ranked this song top half, six ranked this song in their top ten, three in their top five, and one went the extra mile and ranked it #1.

Okay, so I'll admit that, after diving deeper into the National discog, I screwed up with this pick. Is "Day I Die" a good song? Sure, but they've made many better songs this decade. It still made the top ten, if only barely, so...
My condolences, Web. Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, peacebone.

#9 is a single point ahead of "Day I Die". It spent most of the rankdown in the top ten, though its position in the top ten looked precarious toward the end of the rankdown, where it spent an extended period outside of the top ten. It made it back into the top ten by the end, though.
Two people ranked this song in their bottom ten, but neither are bottom fives. All but four people ranked this song in their top half, meanwhile, with six people ranking this song in their top ten...but just one giving this an added top five boost.

I was so happy to see this song finish in the top ten. I was hoping that it would stick around in the top five, like it did earlier in the rankdown...but after its flirtation with not being in the top ten, I'll take this.

Continuing the closeness, #8 is just three points ahead of #9. This song spent ten of the thirteen rankings inside the top ten (never leaving the top half)...and yet, it never went top five, not even once.
One poster will lose a bottom ten ranking here, though, again, it's not a bottom five. Everyone else ranked this song in their top 25, and all but two of us ranked this song in their top half. Only three posters would go a step further and rank this song in their top ten, but one is a top five.

The opening song to one of my albums of the decade. Yeah, I kind of figured it would be top ten here.

I'm pretty amazed You Want It Darker is still here. Though it's not like I want it out yet.

Yeah, I figured this would somewhere in the "highest SD" whereabouts. Didn't think it would be THE highest, but it got enough support to reach that distinction in no time. Welcome to the top ten, Mr. Cohen.
My condolences, peacebone. Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, rowellfarm490.

I felt bad ranking this so low. I think this is a good song, but in terms of facing off with these other songs, I couldn't justify putting this any higher.

this was my highest first listen on the rankdown, one of the gloomiest, most depressing tracks I've ever heard, and the spoken word delivery sells that even more. shame on you low rankers

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
The division doesn't surprise me at all (because :( spoken word/too boring :( ), but I was so glad to see this make the top 10 nonetheless. This song is utterly heartbreaking to listen to, it's like he knew he was knocking on death's door.

#6 has something going for it that we haven't seen in a long time. This song never went below the top 15, and it spent the last nine rankings in the top ten, even getting into the top three at one point. It couldn't quite hold on, though...
Only one person ranked this song in their bottom ten, but it's a bottom ten clearer. All but three people ranked this song in their top half, and seven people ranked this song in their top ten. Just two are top five rankings, but they're not just any top five rankings...they're #1 rankings.

Alright, now let's get my #36 out.
I would have been fine with Leonard Cohen taking this all despite my ranking. I can recognize it as a great winner. Not my #36.

This did better than "Will Do". Different competition, of course, but color me surprised. I'll take it, though, as this is one of my favorite TVOTR songs.
My condolences, Troy and aerodynamite. But hey, congrats on finally losing your #39, Web.

#5 is one of only two songs to have been in the top ten after every ranking. It struggled at times to stay there, especially early, but it zoomed into the top five after the midway point and didn't look back.
One poster will lose a bottom ten ranking...and yes, it is a bottom ten clearer. All but four people ranked this song in their top half, and all but two of THOSE posters ranked it top ten. There are two top fives being lost here, but one is a #1.

I was quite surprised to see this make the top five. Top ten, sure, but I didn't think it would quite get to the lofty top five reaches. I was wrong, and I'm glad to be wrong.
My condolences, American Idiot. But hey, at least it's your lucky day, Pollen.

#4 wasn't a clear top ten mainstay. It had its rough patches, hanging out outside of the top ten at points. By the end, though, it was able to do enough to make it into the top five and stay there.
Only one person ranked this song in their bottom ten, but (say it with me, everyone) it's a bottom ten clearer. All but three people ranked this song in their top half, and six ranked it in their top ten. There are three top five rankings, with one being quite high...and another being a #1.

This was the song that I heavily considered putting at #1 over "A Night on the Town". In fact, up until right before I started the thread, this WAS my #1. It's my second-favorite Deftones song, and I'm so glad to see it make the top five.
My condolences, rgreen0625. And congrats on clearing your bottom ten, singingrulebritannia. I guess.

FINALLY
This was such a steep regression for Deftones it's not even funny. Luckily it wasn't very indicative of the rest of the album.
