Pulse Rankdown: 2018 Year End Alternative Chart (WE'RE DONE)

[lyhom]

you wanna meet me at the bar?

[Zach]

Mmm Best Friend made it further than I expected.

[Leo ✔]

LOVE "Best Friend", its quirkiness (? works for me.

WHAT THE FUCK IS REALLY HAPPENING HERE

The FIFA edit >>>>>

[woods]

...Well it went further than I expected, plus it went further than "Down" did in 2017, so, well, I'll take it.

Just don't reveal any of my other high ranks. Except my 5 because I know that's coming up soon.

Also, I guess it's not a surprise that it was the highest SD. This song was going to be brought up at multiple points throughout the year, everyone had heard of this song even if they didn't hear it. And I know it doesn't belong here, but this will remain one of my favorite songs of 2018. Always.

I'm so-addictive like some Pokemon

Whoever classified this as ALT needs a clue. Yet, this is still a jam, and better than all the crap on here.

[Red]

There's nowhere to go but down from #63, but #62 isn't too far off, either. The 12th highest SD, it brings us four top 10 losses (including a top 5) and five more top 20 losses. Seven bottom 10s, only one of which is a bottom 5. Multiple people are clearing their bottom 10 here.

[maine]

Okay, is this my #15?

[LBTrocks]

Y'all can keep hating but the beat on "Best Friend" is straight up fire.

[singingrulebritannia]

Only reason I wish this could've made it one spot further is so the highest SD could be at #62 two Alt RDs in a row

[Deleted]

I think this is "Ball Goes Under Treadmill!"

No mentions of a #1, so this isn't it.

[Red]

It was so much nicer when this song was constantly in the bottom twenty.

Congrats on clearing your bottom tens, deep breath Alex1901 , @humanshazam , MoD , singingrulebritannia , and my co-host, peacebone .

[House Lannister]

It was just fun. That's all I got.

Enjoyed it months ago, enjoyed it again.

EDIT:  I meant Best Friend.  Had a hard time choosing which Friend song I preferred, but this one definitely wins out.

[lyhom]

why did john moon insist on getting kicked in the crotch every time the pre-chorus came

[Deleted]

that noise in the chorus sounds like a bird being sucked into a vacuum

[CF15]

Ahhhh, I was so close! I actually liked this, though.

[maine]

Walk the Moon fell off so hard this era.

This had some nice moments, then some not nice moments.

[Leo ✔]

I liked when was released but turned obnoxious

[zaclord 🌈]

oh thank GOD "Best Friend" is finally gone. That may be the worst thing I've ever heard in my life

[MoD]

this didn't deserve to be higher than Kamikaze

"One Foot" is horrible, so glad it's finally out, but it made it way too far.

[singingrulebritannia]

[fearlessarrow]

My inner "pop poster" is showing here. I love "One Foot", haven't cared for anything WTM has done since then.

They were never going to duplicate the success of "Shut Up and Dance" but this was honestly an alright era from them
