And with that reveal, every song left in my bottom 20 is a song I expected to, at the very least, still be in the running, at this point.
I will especially not be making any friends with the last two.

#17 does have a very low SD; the 7th lowest. A top 5, 2 top 10s, 5 top 15s, and 5 more top 22s will evaporate. Same as Icehouse, it took on 7 bottom 15s, with a sole bottom 10 among them. Just one ballot separated the song from being top 20 throughout, but it was a little higher early on and in the middle.

Can my 45 please leave soon? Also love Julee Cruise, I would've picked Floating though, which is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard but you can't go wrong with JC

Pleasantly surprised it took this long to shed the third of my top tens, especially considering I expected this to miss the top half (for some reason). Glad it avoided that fate.

#16 drags the 9th highest SD to the chopping block. This is not its highest point, but it was lower than this way more often than it was higher. Among 5 bottom 5s is the return of the 45 rank. 14 people ranked this top 22. 3 top 15s, 5 top 10s, and 2 top 5s.

I fully expected to be alone on this. I was not expecting to be wrong.
Look, I will gladly rep for the Mac...but they've done way better than this.

#15 is someone else's 45. There is only 1 more bottom 10, but it's also a bottom 5. Half of participants' ranks are in the top 22. 3 are top 5s, 2 are top 10s, and 5 are top 15s. This was another "always top 20" song. It hit its lulls a little less than halfway and at the end.

We're at the home stretch on the road to top 10, and more high SDs have to be dealt with. #14 is the 6th highest SD, and here is where 2 people will clear bottom 10s, joined by 4 other bottom 10s. 14 people ranked this song top 20. 2 are top 5, and 5 are top 10s.

#13 is not a top 9 high SD. Despite this, the reveal will slaughter two #1s. A top 5, 3 top 10s, and 5 top 15s joined them on the high end. 4 bottom 10s, almost all being bottom 10 clearers, were this song's enemies. This song spent some time in the bottom 10 early, and wasn't truly safe in the top 20 until late.

Wow, I was not expecting this to miss the top ten at all.
It was my second lowest ranking, though, so I guess I'll take it.

#12 will add to the pile of lucky people who won't have bottom 10s in the top 10. Just one other person was in that range with them, and only 3 other bottom 15s. 3 top 5s and 3 top 10s (among the half of us who ranked this top 22) will depart. After a bit of a middling start, this song was a staple of the top 15.

I'm still kicking myself for sticking with this pick. Because, honestly, it's not my favorite Speaking in Tongues song -- "Girlfriend is Better" is. And I get the sense that if I had used either that or "Burning Down the House", Talking Heads would had an easy top 10. But "This Must Be the Place" is their second most streamed song only to "Psycho Killer", and I thought that would translate to Pulse. Sorry, guys. It wouldn't be one of my rankdowns if I didn't screw up on like 10 song choices, I guess. Only makes it more imperative that I fit them into another future rankdown. Anyway, this was Az Paynter's last bottom 10. 12

Yeah, I would have had both of the songs gates mentioned in my top ten. Still not a bad choice for a Talking Heads song, anyway.

A #1 ranking and 3 bottom 10s (1 a bottom 5; another, clearing that person's bottom 10) faced off for the top 10 fate of this song. The bottom 10s won, clearly. Of the song's 5 total top 10s, all but 1 were top 5. 9 more people ranked this top 22, and almost all of those are top 20. This song's lowest point was 24, around the halfway mark, and its highest #7, a little earlier.

Run this rankdown back, please. I'm not standing for either Tubeway Army or The Cars missing the top ten.

This top 10 is only meant to stay a while.New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle Kraftwerk - Computer Love Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes Pet Shop Boys - It's A Sin Talk Talk - It's My Life The Police - King of Pain Depeche Mode - Stripped ABC - The Look Of Love Electric Light Orchestra - Twilight Ultravox - ViennaWhat songs seem out of place in the top 10 to you (and no, I'm not just asking you to reveal your low ranks here, give it a little more thought)? The 3rd highest SD is still in; what is it? What do you think the order in which these songs leave will be?

Well, the third highest SD is "Computer Love", right? It has to be. If it's not that, then I can only see it being "King of Pain" otherwise.
Still think one of "Stripped" or "Bizarre Love Triangle" is winning...though I still like "In Your Eyes" as a dark horse.

a bit surprised by Ultravox, ELO & Kraftwerk making Top 10. One of these I ranked quite high, 1 I ranked low & the other somewhere in between
