Pulse Rankdown: 1998 Year-End Alternative Chart (FINISHED)

[Deleted]

JT already lost a top half rank.

[Red]

Feeder are stuck in a dream where they haven't been eliminated.

Congrats on having the last top half standing, singingrulebritannia. Again.

(I'm aware that JT has already lost top half rankings. Must be something wrong with the sheet. It doesn't affect the rankdown, anyway.)

People didn't really have this song high.

[singingrulebritannia]

I quite liked this, and I usually rep random UK bands like Feeder hard in these rankdowns; it would be much higher for me in any other year. Total judgement call on whether this or my eventual #50 would be in that position.

[Red]

#77 flirted with the top half early, but it spent most of the rankdown in the sixties or seventies. Its time at its lowest point was closer to the middle of the rankdown, though it came close to reaching those depths at the end.

Eleven more top half rankings are getting out of here, while three posters are walking away a little quicker. One poster comes DANGEROUSLY close to losing their first top ten, while another poster actually is losing a top ten. It's also a top five. There are less than ten bottom twenty rankings, but more than half are bottom tens, with one poster being ultra-happy to lose their #100.

the only thing this song did for me was wish it would have ended sooner.

Dishwalla or Anatheum?

Here you go, House Lannister, a bottom ten loss. Even better, it's your #100.

Interesting choice, but okay.

#76 is quite the big reveal. How big? Try the sixth-highest standard deviation. Fifteen (yes, fifteen) people will be losing a top half ranking, six posters will be losing a top 20, and two posters will have a top ten removed (one a top five). But there was a BUNCH of hate for this song, with over ten bottom tens and at least one #100. Oh, and we'll know who's clearing their bottom ten first after this reveal.

It always struck me as Alternative Country.

This sounds NOTHING like alternative country.

Well I got a cowboy vibe from this song, but 

just out of curiosity, what would Alternative Country sound like?

I expect that to be among the top five highest standard deviations.

Finally, another one of my bottom fives is out. I didn't find this bad, per se, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.

[peacebone]

No but seriously fucking One Week beat this are you guys kidding me

[Red]

#75 is not nearly as divisive as #76, but it has its moments. This song also spent a couple of rankings in the top 40, though it didn't have the staying power that "Space Lord" did. This song also spent a bunch of rankings at #81 later on, but, of course, it did eventually end up higher than "Space Lord".

Twelve top half rankings will be lost, and though just three posters are losing a top 25 ranking, all are top 20s. Two of those rankings are top tens, both the first top ten losses for each poster. One of them is not just losing a top five...their first top ten loss is a true banger, as they lose their #1 first. The resistance was kind of strong, with five bottom tens being lost...but no bottom fives.

I really liked this song. BTW, why do this band's Music Videos look like Pop catastrophes?  :kii:

Fitting that the top two rankings for this song are from Canadian posters.

My condolences, Leaf.

what the fuck

[singingrulebritannia]

I'm a bit surprised this even charted on Alt, sounds totally Southern rock with not really a whiff of indie rock or off-beat sensibilities

But I suppose if The Black Crowes once got play here too...

[Red]

#74 ALSO spent a very brief period in the top 40 early. It also spent a considerable amount of time in the top half. As the rankdown progressed, though, it just kept getting pushed further and further down. It reached its lowest point at the very end.

Yet again, eleven posters are shedding a tear over a top half loss, while four posters are shedding multiple tears for the loss of a top 25 ranking. One poster will be sobbing as they lose their first top ten. There are not a lot of bottom ten rankings for this song, as three posters lose a bottom ten (one a bottom five), but seven more bottom twenty rankings will also fall.
