Excellent top 3 (top 7 tbh)! I have my 2, 8 and 15 still in, and all of them would be great winners

18, 23, 38
my 38 would be the boring pick for #1 but I'd be fine with any of the winners

I might be one of the perfect rankings. 2, 3, 62 (I would rank this at like 39, now, but still hoping for one of the other two to win).

My condolences, @levitation.
Not a single bottom half ranking, and it can't even make the top two. That is some crazy stuff. 3

As long as I don't get a perfect ranking for #2 now, I'm happy.

This is an all time favorite of mine! Very glad that it made the top 3! I think it’s my 6 vs my 17 and I will be glad either way!

So are this and "Mr. Brightside" the only songs to pull off the 'no bottom 50s in Alt' trick?

It's time for the top two showdown: "Bitter Sweet Symphony" vs. "Karma Police". Between these two songs, they spent all but seven of the movements at #1. There are 40 top tens, nine #1s, and a LOT of top half rankings. Only seven rankings total were not in the top half for these two songs...and yet, both songs have at least one bottom twenty ranking. In fact, one bottom ten still remains uncleared...
What song won the 1998 Alt rankdown? Find out shortly!

"Bitter Sweet Symphony" deserves a win in something other than a Discord mini-rankdown, so I am rooting for that.

This top three was a LOT of fun to watch as it happened. This song spent the lion's share of the early rankings at #1, and it only spent two rankings outside of the top five. In the end, the tankers proved to be just enough to keep this song from winning...but considering they hadn't even made the top ten before this rankdown began, I'd say that's a pretty cool accomplishment.
My condolences, astorknight, Daryl the Beryl, YotamTS, Alex1901, rgreen0625, and @carseatlegrest. I like perfect rankings, but I do wish this was one spot higher instead, admittedly. 2

Despite the fact that my #2 didn't win, I'm not complaining about this result. A worthy winner of a very tough rankdown, indeed...
Here's to The Verve, and here's to @crapkuki23, Walking Contradiction, and @walker9 for their P-P-P-P-PERFECT #1 RANKINGS!
As for @xfer...good job, good effort. :kii: 1

Great winner! I had this at #1 until I put Shimmer there at last minute, but this is still an amazing and beautiful. There are few songs that are as timeless as this one, it is one of those songs you listen to and you can instantly tell that it is a classic

And that is THAT. I'd like to thank everyone who submitted, followed, or even viewed this thread once or twice. As always, you guys are why I continue to host these rankdowns. I may be struggling more with being busy than I have been in previous rankdowns that I've hosted, but I had to make sure to be here to do every set of reveals. Of course, we also had some...minor problems along the way, but they were dealt with swiftly. I hope. The most fascinating thing to watch in this rankdown was watching three songs spend all but one ranking at the #1 spot, and how much these three songs dominated the rankdown for nearly the entire rankdown. It's the little things that get me.
With that said, I'm looking forward to the next rankdown, 1997, which has some of my absolute all time favorite songs. As much as I love songs like "Karma Police" and "Wishlist", there are some songs that I genuinely like that much more in 1997, so that'll be a lot of fun. See you when you get the thread started...well, actually, I don't know who's hosting 1997. Guess we'll find out soon enough, eh? As for me, I'll see you guys at the end of 2018!

Real talk I've never cared by Bittersweet Symphony, I think the vocals are annoying, was hoping against hope it wouldn't win, especially because there are so many other songs here I genuinely love.
But at least Brick went top 5!

I didn't know John Charlotte was so little...then again inside Nicole Richie, anything is little...
