Now that the top 10 purges have started, they’re not about to stop. #97 brings with us two more top 10s losses, and two more top 20s. In total, six people ranked this song top half. For the first time, no one ranked this song at #100, but that hardly mattered, since it received 27 bottom 10s, 11 of those being bottom 5s. There are four #99s. This song spent a list at #100, and was never a real threat to leave the bottom 10.

[Deleted]

The fact that this wasn't in the bottom 2 is a crime.

[Zach]

I really would love for my #100 to get out now.

[Beno]

Dangerous Night?

[fearlessarrow]

Now that AJR is out bring on Dirty Heads!

[Deleted]

Sober Up is a bomb song....says the alcoholic

TFW You send in a decent list for once and you're still paranoid about your top 10

[matteeeb]

My Favorite Color Is Blue

I wasn't guessing that this would be it.

[Mayman]

[Mylo13 💜]

Oh, this was pretty decent! Nothing special but I enjoyed it enough!

[matteeeb]

I couldn’t even make it halfway through this without cringing.

[Beno]

I've never liked 30STM but wow this era was a new low for them

[Deleted]

These guys have fallen so much. The worst part is, there was much worse off America. You guys should be thankful One Track Mind wasn't a hit.

But seriously, LovelytheBand and Grandson is still in here. That's a problem.

[Deleted]

when your first song out is among the likes of AJR and Judah and the Lion
