No lie, I would submit for a disco rankdown so quickly, especially if you were to host it. I have an unhealthy fascination with disco. This is good, though it has never been one of my absolute favorites of the genre. ditto

Guys, I was not kidding about doing well and terribly at the same time. This song fascinates me in a way I was not expecting going into this rankdown.

We finally come upon another notable SD at #38, but on the low side this time. This song has the 9th lowest SD on account of its sole top 10 and 6 top 20s. Only 7 people ranked it bottom 10, but 5 are bottom 5s. This song didn't start off in the greatest of shape, and unlike our last few songs it was never top 20, but it actually lingered in the 20s before its spring of high rankings just completely ran dry.

If you take away my list, this would be the only song in the rankdown without a top 10, which should demonstrate the balance of the song selection, in my opinion. 38

One of many, MANY songs in this rankdown to receive a 7/10 from me...but this was on the higher end of said 7/10 songs.
I expected both better and worse from this reveal, so I'll take it, I guess.

Two posters lose their first top 10s with #37. The same number of top 20 for The Lotus Eaters (6) comes back for this song. However, we also ditch two 45s, 2 bottom 5s, and 4 bottom 10s. This song was mostly in the bottom 10 or just outside, only glancing at top 30 once. The single time it was ever bottom 5, though, was when it was #45.

I've ranked Charli very low in two straight rankdowns now. But, I think you can tell, by what rankdowns they were, which one I like way more. 37

I am shocked this is out so early, but I'm not complaining, really, though I liked it quite a bit.

#36 was up and down for the first third of submissions, but the highest it ever got was top 25. It looked like maybe it could dodge bottom 10 status, but, nope. 3 bottom 5s and 5 bottom 10s meet their maker here. The song had its fans, though, in the form of 8 top 20s and a top 10.

lol, I lost three top 15 rankings in the bottom ten. This might be my worst performance in a gates RD bottom ten. And yet, because it's a gates RD, it doesn't really hurt all that much.

Pound the alarm, because Lord will not be the only person whose #1 did not escape the first night. This big loser is joined by a top 5 and 5 top 20s. The bottom 10s are beginning to lessen slightly, but 3 bottom 5s and 4 bottom 10s still have a score to settle with this song. This song was never really doing well. It spent the majority of lists in the bottom 10, and only 1 list outside the bottom 15 around the middle.

In a lesser rankdown, this would have been much higher. (obvious statement is obvious)
In this rankdown, it's closer to the bottom ten than the top ten.

#34 continues showing us songs that were inexplicably high early. Top 20 for multiple lists, and only a few times bottom 10. 2 top 10s and 6 top 20s meet their maker. On the other hand, 3 and 5 people will be unburdened of bottom 5s and bottom 10s each.

I've considered putting Chairlift in either this or my 2010s rankdown. It may still end up in the latter, I'm not sure. Let me know if there's a demand for it EXTRAAmanaemonesia ChairliftPost your thoughts on this song below!
