Holy shit "Redundant" actually beat this! Party!

[Red]

The hits just keep on coming, as the ninth-highest standard deviation is about to be revealed at #46. This song has one less top 20 ranking than #47, and it also has two less top tens and THREE less top fives. But the lone top five is a massive one: It's a #1 loss. There was some strong hate for this song, too, as no less than four posters ranked this song bottom five.

Bowie or Beastie. I prefer it to be one over the other.

[somelikeitwhen]

My response to this cut is incredibly obvious and I shouldn't have to spell it out.

[Alex1901]

Good Riddance! (cut me)

I mean, this isn't bad, obviously, so not really good riddance, but Green Day has better songs than this. Not too heartbroken that it ended up here.

Lemme guess, I'm about to lose my number one?

Um, thanks for the reminder. 

Yeah, had a guess in mind but was already revealed before I got there.

No, but you'll like this reveal a little more. Not a particularly good time to be a pop crossover in this rankdown.

My condolences, janinho.

WTF! I thought that this would make the top 20. My first top 10 loss surprisingly and it wasn't what I expected to be the first of my top 10 to go.

[MoD]

ok so quickly please someone explain me how is this worse than Why Can't We Be Friends or the Space Monkeys' songs

[Leaf]

This song has just always irritated me to no end. See ya never.

To be honest, I was anticipating the losses of my 1 and 8 before 5 and 7.  Still am.

I'm going to guess they weren't a fan of his voice.

[Red]

Okay, let's get SLIGHTLY less crazy with the song at #45. This particular song roared after an early struggle into the top 30. It then, almost just as quickly, got thrashed out of the top half entirely. That moment was fleeting, as it quickly rebounded and spent the rest of the rankdown in the top half...though it never even reached the top 40 again.

Of the twenty top half rankings for this song, nine can be found in the top 25. Almost all of them are top 20 rankings, with two posters also losing a top ten ranking. One of those posters will be losing their first top ten. While there are only four bottom twenty rankings, all are low bottom twenties. One of them is very low.

Never thought I'd see 3Cheers nearly put a Green Day song bottom 10.

Even though I’m a Green Day fan, i just have always not liked Good Riddance. The rest of Nimrod is great but Good Riddance is easily the worst.

After janinho loses his #1, he promptly gets revenge by losing his #98.

Did it really have to be Beck, though

How did this get* 2 bottom 10s?

*See Red, I can screw things up too.

[Red]

Okay, never mind all of that "less divisive songs" stuff, let's get back into the madness with the eleventh-highest standard deviation. The song at #44 spent almost the entire rankdown in the top half. It also spent quite a bit of time in the top 30.

Over half of this song's nineteen top half rankings (twelve, to be exact) can be found in the top 25, and a whopping six posters will also be losing a top ten. Just one poster will be losing their first top ten, but they are one of three posters losing a top five. As for the opposition, hoo boy...six bottom twenty rankings, two bottom tens, and one bottom five. Oh, and one of the bottom tens is a bottom ten clearer.

[CF15]

Marilyn Manson?

[House Lannister]

Intergalactic?

[Red]

Glad this is much higher than "Thank U", at least.

Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, astorknight. Almost, but not quite, somelikeitwhen.

Gravey...How is this worse than Creed, Mouth or Lullaby?

[Red]

#43 accomplished something that no song has accomplished to this point: It spent time in the top 20. It was also very early. It eventually got pushed down so hard that it fell out of the top half. The song eventually pushed itself back into the top half and then the top 40, where it spent a good chunk of the second half of the rankdown. Alas, it wasn't meant to stay there...

A new rankdown-high 23 posters will see a top half ranking waste away, and seven top 25s will also wither. Only one of those 23 top half rankings is a top ten, but it is that poster's first top ten loss. Only three of the remaining rankings are bottom twenties, but one is a bottom ten.

[somelikeitwhen]

I would've ranked this higher if it wasn't for the preference revealer, it's not bad at all.

[alexcuse]

Damn I lost 3 top tens in the last 4 reveals
