Unranked Treasures Rankdown (Fin)

[House Lannister]

Notes for #35:

• 9th Highest SD
• This was top 10 at one point
• Losing two top 10s and a bottom 10
• Somebody's bottom 10 gets cleared.

[House Lannister]

Doc loses his 5th top 10; Samosaurus loses his first.

Not sure why Leo didn't care for it, but his bottom 20 is now clear.

PS: Am I the only one who hears The Fabulous Thunderbirds a little bit?

Oh, I thought it had something to do with them borrowing from other artists. 

EL borrowed from the Jackson Five's ABC.

They're kinda hit or miss for me.

[House Lannister]

Although this song has been used to score various epic shows, games and movies, this never got play on radio.

I guess it doesn't surprise me this ended up fairly low.

• Missed out on #32 by 6 points
• Knocks out a top 10; clears a bottom 10

[House Lannister]

When this album came out, me and my mom both agreed that this should be her next single. It wasn't.

2019 me listened to this and was underwhelmed.

Samo's top 10 takes a second hit. The identity of the person clearing their top 10? Raises hand.

Having seen multiple rankdowns mean that surprises are part of the deal.

Having said that, I'm surprised the song didn't do better.

Leo loses his third top 10 while Samosaurus is down to one bottom 10.

I'm going to reveal some extras before getting in an abbreviated set today.

EXTRA

First up, more classic Queen Latifah!:

Come Into My House

Queen Latifah

[House Lannister]

EXTRA

Although I wasn't as keen on it as some people in 2018's Active rankdown, it was fine.

Rats

Ghost

[House Lannister]

EXTRA

This next artist had his one hit in 2013 (Love Me Again) but if you count collaborations, he's had two (Blame in 2014). But outside the US, he's doing a lot better (7 top 10s in the UK!)

This is one of his British only hits.

Come and Get It

John Newman

[House Lannister]

EXTRA

Well, this'll be awkward...particularly to Leo who had no idea I was planning on this one from the start.

His first hit.

Easy Love

Siglia Sigala

[House Lannister]

EXTRA

Oh look, more Will Smith unranked goodness...

Party Starter

Will Smith

[House Lannister]

EXTRA

And finally, I'm going to showcase some country artists who have yet to break out.

Starting with an artist I showcased earlier in the thread, this was the song that first caught my ear.

Better Than You Left Me

Mickey Guyton

[House Lannister]

EXTRA

This next artist is only 25 and from Illinois.

Boy and a Girl Thing

Mo Pitney

[House Lannister]

EXTRA

This next song was written and performed in response to #Saladgate, a stupid analogy comparing women to the tomatoes on a salad saying they should be sparingly used to accent the more plentiful lettuce (or male singers)

Keith Hill, the radio consultant behind the analogy?  Still working today... >

Fight Like a Girl

Kalie Shorr

[House Lannister]

EXTRA

Another young'un, 26, from Georgia. Nice find in the 2018 country rankdown.

David Ashley Parker from Powder Springs

Travis Denning

[House Lannister]

EXTRA

And finally, another find in the 2018 Country Rankdown. This song peaked at 60 in Country Airplay.

We can forgive her for her debut as backup vocalist in Luke Bryan's Country Girl travesty.

Notes on #30

• 8th Highest Standard Deviation
• 7 points away from #29
• Peak of 14; Low point was 52.
• Losing a top 5 and a bottom 5.

[House Lannister]

Not a good start for SHOOTER who loses his third top 10.

On the other hand, Doc Indie Party Rock is now down to 2 bottom 10s.

[House Lannister]

Used as a soundtrack song for FIFA 2001 and the theme song for the last year of Veronica's Closet, this song contains no less than three videos.

The highlighted video features Run-DMC.

Also, it's not a good start for SHOOTER

This RD has been going on forver. last thing I remember I lost my #1 song. That was such a tragedy I figured we all just decided to dump this Rd?


40. The Beast - Tech N9ne
Couldn't, wouldn't and just didn't want to work this out. The truth. This is just too noizy for me.

39. Ladies First - Queen Latifah w Monie Love
There was a time when female rap was in. Salt n Pepa, JJ Fad. L'Trim, but this wasn't one of those.

38. Natalie La Rose w Fetty Wap - Around the World
Aside form the dancing hotness in the MV this just isn't my thing.

37. Shut Up and Fish - Maddie and Tae
This is more my style. Fun from the start. Upbeat vibe and vocals. Check.

36. From the Pinnacle to the Pit - Ghost
I could have used some help from fellow Rocksters here. I have a certain love affair with this band and most metal coming out of Sweden.

35. Give Me Your Love - Siglia Sigala w John Newman and Nile Rodgers
One of my favorite first time listens here. At least I think it was. John Newman has great vocals and Nile Rogers is Disco fever. Truthfully I don't know what or who Siglia Sigala even is, but he/them couldn't ruin this upbeat vibe.

34. I'm So Sorry - Imagine Dragons
Never heard this Imagine Dragons song before. I wasn't surprised that its better than most singles they release. This would have sounded pretty cool for Alt chart.

33. There's Got to Be a Way - Mariah Carey
I like some Mariah Carey. This kinda sounded like a Janet jackson rip off. Nice pop sound tho.

32. Men in Black - Will Smith w Coko (from SWV)
Patrice Rushen's meoldy made the song a lot more pleasant.

31. Lipstick - Runaway June
I might just enjoy female country jams more then the rest of this group. I generaly melt with the female vocals in music...unless they sound completely destroyed with autotune and overproduction.


EXTRAS:

Come Into My House - Queen Latifah
I will not be stepping foot into that house. She is a pretty good actress tho.

Rats - Ghost
There isn't enough room on this post to praise this song the way I would like to, so I'll just drop some names. Scorpions, Ratt, Kiss, ect..... That's what I was reminded by with this song. Need I say more?

Come and Get It - John Newman
Good vocals , good grooves. What's there not to like?

Easy Love -Sigala Sigilia
So this is them? Ewww. Put it this way the only reason I liked the other song was Nile and John contributions

Party Starter - Will Smith
Awful. No wonder he took up acting.

Better Than You Left Me - Mickey Guyton
Kinda hard to find anything negative about Country. It doesn't offend me in way what so ever. This is pretty pleasant.

Boy and a Girl Thing - Mo Pitney
same as above. I don't usually chart country, but It pleasant enough not too send me running towards the nearest exit.very nice female backups too.

Fight Like a Girl - Kalie Shorr
Great first listen. The production and guitars strums are larger here, so it brings out her vocals out even stronger. Probably would have ranked this one the highest among you all? maybe?

David Ashley Parker from Powder Springs - Travis Denning
Starts off mellow and picks up a bit of steam by chorus. Not bad at all. I also like the theme of country songs a bit more. They are more about getting the girl and stuff like than.

More - Clare Dunn
Nice vocals, but I hear some pop inspired hihats in the backround. They are subtle but I can hear them and they are annoying. Kinda sounds fake, but damn nice vocals.
