By this point we only have singles left. And now here's an overview of the single that missed the top 3: RANKDOWN TRAJECTORY: 8 4 6 7 7 6 7 4 4 5 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 Once this song got going, it was impossible for anything else to come close; hence 'Addicted' trailing 94 points behind it. But it did have more of a fight on its hands with what was ahead of it; while in the end it stayed firmly entrenched at #4 with a final margin of 26 points behind #3, it was constantly within range of challenging for a top 3 spot. It just couldn't get over the line by the end of submissions. 40 people ranked this song in their top half; 26 of these were top 3 rankings including eight #3's, eleven #2's and seven #1's (the most so far). Down the other end, this song also features a solitary non-top 10 ranking. It is also the second and final song to never receive a #12 ranking.

Yep, this has to be "Breakaway". That one definitely seems to get the most mixed reception out of the Big Four on this album, so I can't imagine it possibly beating any of the other 3 (even though it is definitely good enough to be a #1 contender in its own right)

This is predicatble. It was going to end up somewhere in the top 5 regardless.

That song is a typical Disney soundtrack schlockiness that should have ben sung by Hillary Duff or someone like that. It only sounds good because Kelly is a godess that elevates all her material to unheard of heights. But it's still nothing special as a song. So there. LOL I shall patiently await your shrieks of horror. :sip2:

My favorite Kelly Clarkson song of all time, it's been my graduation/moving to a new stage in my life anthem for many years.

I actually dedicated my bottom 5 to the singles so I could maximise the points I had available to help the non-singles. So yeah. :kii:

This normally would've been my #5 or something but earlier this year I just snapped & started loving it so hard.

Woah, why is Breakaway out? Incredible song, a strong favourite from Kelly Clarkson :( .
Although, glad 'Addicted' is out. It was one of my least favourite discoveries and it was pretty surprising to see it outlast a lot of other songs here.
Rooting for Because of You and Behind These Hazel Eyes!

I figured my #1 would be leaving pretty soon, but in my defense, the title track has to have one of the smallest burn-out rates imo.
I'm predicting the top three will go like this:
3. Since U Been Gone 2. Because of You 1. Behind These Hazel Eyes
NOTE: I honestly find one of these to be pretty darn overrated...despite my opinion, I think it's gonna win. :kii:

They don't call it a game for nothing. Not all games are games of strategy though... Rankdowns exist literally just to see how songs perform when you compare everyone's tastes. When people submit lists that are not based on their tastes from favorite to least favorite, the results are not as valid because different submissions are based on different parameters... In a rankdown with this many submissions it doesn't really matter anyway, because nobody was going to prevent the inevitable domination of singles in this rankdown. But in rankdowns with less participants, it is a much bigger deal when people don't follow the rules and try to tank certain songs just because of x reason even if they like the song.

I’m ecstatic that Addicted beat out Walk Away to make the top-5. I’ve never been a fan of WA as a single, then or now!

Predictable top 3.
I think Breakaway has held up very well, not leaning too much into the Pop/Rock sound that got canned in the earlier part of this decade really helps it. I'll always associate it with a scene from one of the last episodes (and a very powerful one) of Six Feet Under when Claire and Ted are driving.

Top 3 time; and here's a preview of this first single to make up the 'Breakaway' era's holy trinity: RANKDOWN TRAJECTORY: 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 3 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 For the most part this was always going to be the third wheel; it did get a couple of brief glimpses at #2 but was never able to get that push of momentum to take the spot outright. 26 points separated this song from 'Breakaway', but the final gap between this and 2nd place was a mere 17 points - so it remained fairly close throughout, despite never being getting close enough to properly jump the hurdle. 47 people gave this song a ranking within their top half; out of these were seven #1's, thirteen #2's and nine #3's for a total of 29 top 3 rankings. This song also has a solitary non-top 10 ranking, and it is a #12 (since we've already seen the two songs that did not receive any #12's).

And so the top 2 comes down to 'Since U Been Gone' and 'Behind These Hazel Eyes', as I'm sure we ALL saw coming. So here's what I have to say about the two of these: RUNNER-UP'S RANKDOWN TRAJECTORY: 5 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 2 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 WINNER'S RANKDOWN TRAJECTORY: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 For the record, despite never leaving the top stop it was not actually smooth sailing for this game's winning song. It wasn't until the last 5-10 lists that it began to run away with the win actually; for the most part, the song at #2 was constantly nipping at its heels while also managing to outpace 'Because Of You' to keep its spot. By the end of everything though, there was a 45 point margin separating the top 2. One song has been given 49 rankings in the top half, the other has 52 top half rankings. Further breakdowns of the rankings received will be withheld for the final reveal.
