Probably does not bode too well for their biggest hits...but who knows? Maybe Seven Mary Three will prove me wrong.

Damn it all! At this rate, the next song is probably in my top ten. :(

[Red]

Unlike the last set, there are more high SDs set to be revealed than low SDs, and #83 is the first of the evening, the thirteenth-highest. #83 struggled out of the gate, and its early struggles helped to keep the song from never escaping the bottom twenty. Despite its early bottom ten struggles, once it escaped the bottom ten, it never looked back.

Ten posters will say goodbye to a top half ranking, one losing their first once again. Five top 25 rankings will also get out, but, more importantly, TWO top ten rankings will be eliminated as well. As for the bottom, seven posters will be happy to know that they are losing a bottom ten. Just one is a bottom five, though. Fun fact: At least one poster comes ONE ranking away from being the first to clear their bottom ten.

[somelikeitwhen]

This and It's You are the only songs I hadn't even heard of before this rankdown.

[CF15]

"Mummers' Dance".

No, Dave, get out.

The wrong Dave Matthews Band song is out first...

[Red]

#82 spent a very brief ranking inside the top half, but it was also a song that hovered around the top half for a little bit. Closer to the halfway mark, this song got pushed into the bottom twenty. After one fleeting moment where it looked like it would escape the bottom twenty, it fell back into the bottom twenty and stay there.

Ten more top half rankings will go away, with MULTIPLE posters losing their first top half ranking. Just one poster will be losing a top 25 ranking, but it's a pretty high one. Six more bottom ten rankings will also be shed, with three posters also losing bottom fives. One is a low bottom five.

[CF15]

My #6. :(

[Red]

I can't see any of their upcoming songs doing as bad as this...right?

[CF15]

I forgot this was still in. The remix was a bit better, so I moved it out of my bottom ten.

[Alex1901]

I like Bush, but this is probably one of the worst songs I've heard from this band.

[Red]

#81 is the first song of the rankdown to spend time in the top 40, for one ranking. It also spent a significant amount of time in the top half. After that, it ping ponged around in the fifties and sixties, only to get tanked HARD late, pushing the song into the bottom twenty on the final day. Say hello to the twentieth-highest standard deviation.

Yet again, ten posters will be losing a top half ranking, and two more top halves will no longer be perfect. There are three top 25 rankings...but all are top ten rankings. At least one poster will be losing their first, but, more importantly, one poster is losing a top five ranking. Oh, sorry, it's worse than that...it's a #1. Counteracting this support are the nine people who ranked this song bottom ten, all fairly low bottom tens. Five of the rankings are bottom fives, with many of those rankings being pretty low rankings.

[Red]

This song just kept going...the original, anyway. The remix is better.

My condolences, somelikeitwhen.

Really? :(

[singingrulebritannia]

I really wish I could understand the critical acclaim this song receives.

[somelikeitwhen]

I had a feeling this was going to happen, especially since the inferior remix was in the playlist instead of the better original. Lordeftones and I are just going to be enemies forever I guess.

[Red]

#80 does not have a very high standard deviation, but there's plenty of divisiveness to be had. This was another song that spent a brief period of time in the top half. The most noteworthy thing about its movements is the erratic movements it had at one point. How erratic? This happened in a seven ranking stretch:

58 49 63 47 56 65 73

Eleven top half rankings will be removed from the rankdown, and one of the four remaining spotless top halves will be no more. Four posters will also lose a top 25 ranking. One poster will come dangerously close to losing their first top ten ranking, while another person WILL lose their first top ten ranking. It's also a very high top five. Most of this song's lowest rankings are in the eighties, but three people also ranked this song bottom ten. One is a quite low bottom five.

[Alex1901]

Fuck! Barely missed a perfect ranking, once again! :'(

[Red]

#79 is kind of a boring reveal, as evidenced by its eighth-lowest standard deviation. I mean, it's a debut, so that's something? It spent the entire rankdown in a less than fifteen spot range in the bottom 25.

Ready for ten more top half rankings to be revealed? At least one poster will also lose their first top half ranking. Only two posters ranked this song top 25, but one poster will be losing their first top ten ranking. Most of this song's lowest rankings are somewhere in the bottom 30, but one poster will lose a bottom ten, a high bottom ten.

[CF15]

Based on the hint, this look like my #6.

[singingrulebritannia]

Soul Asylum?

We'll be seeing more of Soul Asylum in the future...but this wasn't quite the best first impression.

Damn all my favorite discoveries are leaving early.

[House Lannister]

Not bad so far, but I'd like to lose a few more bottom 10s tonight.

[Red]

You think that I didn't have a lot to say about #79? Try #78. This song did spend time near the bottom ten very early, and it spent a very brief period outside of the bottom forty closer to the middle of the rankdown, but this song was meant to finish somewhere in the seventies.

We'll see twelve people lose a top half ranking with the reveal of #78. The most important thing here is that one of JT or gates will lose their first top half ranking...but which one will have the last spotless top half? Only two posters will lose top 25 rankings, and neither are high ones. Ten people will lose a bottom twenty ranking, and two posters will also lose a bottom ten, with one poster losing a bottom five.
