About to send. Great list, despite the obvious weak link (imo). My #2 is a song I contemplated using for my 2000s rankdown instead of a certain song I eventually went with. And my #1 is probably in my top 40 of all-time at the very least, so I'm really hoping you follow through with this rankdown...unlike the time someone else in this thread failed to when they tried to use it :sip2:

Ballots for this 20-song rankdown due in two weeks! Thanks to Lordef†ones and singingrulebritannia for already submitting so early! Sample size is very small so far (3 submissions incl. mine), leading to some unique statistics. Six songs (30%) have rankings in both someone's top 3 and another's bottom 3. Looking at top 2 songs from everyone's lists so far, 4 of them (66%) also fall in another's bottom 2. One song even has both a #1 and #20 ranking! One thing I'll be keeping track of is how much influence each individual ballot has on the overall result. For instance, Lordef†ones 's ballot is currently responsible for a 9-spot swing for 2 different songs. Points-wise, your next ballot could swing the current #1 to as low as #11, or the current #20 song to as high as #7. The next ballot will also help break ties for currently eleven of the twenty songs, at #4, 10, 12, 14, and 18. {Tags} |

**1 week reminder**Thanks @xfer and @trilogy for their ballots. With 5 ballots now, we have 3 songs that have both #1 and #20 rankings. Three other songs have ballots with rankings in both the top 2/bottom 2. If expand to top 3/bottom 3, then 9 of the 20 songs have such volatile votes. Didn't realize this list was so polarizing! Currently the #1 spot is shared by two songs. Your next ballot will help break the tie for #1, and has enough influence to tank one to as low as #7. Neither of these songs have the highest median. #20 has changed from last week, and it's the only song without any top tens. Mathematically speaking, your next ballot could still boost the last place song to as high as #14. At this point, each ballot had enough influence to modify at least one song's placement by 5 or more spots. {Tags}

Wait, I didn't reply in here? I'm in for Nat Imbruglia, that song is gorgeous (and the Junkie XL remix is also quite nice).

*3 day reminder*I’ll do one final tagged reminder the day before. If you’re planning to submit but need an extension, please reply to the thread. One submission from 🅳🅸🆂🅲🅾 (thanks!) since last time. Lowest SD has same ranking on 4 of 6 ballots. Highest SD has same ranking on 3 of 6 ballots, which seems like a unique statistical oddity to me. Both #1 and #2 (tie is broken) are now so ahead of the pack that, if the next ballot ranks #2 at the very bottom, that song will still remain at #2. Meanwhile #20 can only climb to #17 even with a #1 ranking on the next ballot. But the middle is very closely packed together, such that one ballot can mathematically drop current #3 to #13, and 2 ballots could drop it to #19. Opposite is true for #19 (could climb to #13 with one ballot, #3 with 2 ballots) {Tags}

Reveals will start Thursday night after the deadline, will do between 2-5 songs. Any guesses for the following: 1. Which songs are #1 and #2? 2. Which song is last place? 3. Highest SD? Lowest SD? 4. Which 4 songs (so far) have both #1 and #20 rankings? 5. Which song did I rank in my bottom 5, that everybody else (so far) ranked top 10? 6. Where did The Prodigy (RIP Keith Flint) rank? {Tags} Lordef†ones singingrulebritannia @xfer @trilogy 🅳🅸🆂🅲🅾 @levitation Az Paynter Butterflies & Hurricanes |

In past 24 hours, thanks for 3 more ballots from Sambalada , Az Paynter , and peacebone . (Last ballot update, as voting closes later today.) Same 2 songs are still fighting for the #1 spot and are currently separated by 1 point. #3 and #4 are not that far behind though, as an additional ballot could jump either to #1. #20 has not changed yet, but the next submission could move it to as high as #13. Currently every individual ballot's inclusion has influenced some song(s) rankings by at least 4 spots. Still have one song earning top ten ranks from all voters, except myself. And there is now 5 songs receiving both #1 and #20 votes. Any guesses? {Tags} Submitted:alexcuse Lordef†ones singingrulebritannia @xfer @trilogy 🅳🅸🆂🅲🅾 Sambalada Az Paynter peacebone Replied in thread:

Thanks to all who listened to the playlist and submitted their rankings! There's actually some more I'll need to do, so I'll postpone starting reveals until tomorrow night. If Levitation (or someone else) still wants to sneak in a ballot before then you can. In the meantime, please see below chart to identify how much your ballot made a difference in the results. It shows the max spot difference your ballot influenced the position of a song (either positive or negative), as well as your combined ranking difference total for all 20 songs. This is without regard to your submission order.  {Tags} Submission order:alexcuse Lordef†ones singingrulebritannia @xfer @trilogy 🅳🅸🆂🅲🅾 Sambalada Az Paynter peacebone commerce196 Following@levitation |

#20 only fell to last place at the last ballot submission. It is by an act who was the first concert I ever attended, so I'm not happy it's out first. To read below chart, it has 12th in SD of the 20 songs. It's median ranking is 16 which is the 2nd lowest median of all the songs.  |

#19 was in last place for a big chunk of the rankdown, and ended up 5 points ahead of #20. It had the 3rd lowest SD and its median was not that low at 12.5 (13th of the 20th song). What hurt it from a higher placement was the absence of any high rankings.  In retrospect, "Let Go" was the song I'd most likely replace on this rankdown if I had a do-over. I wanted to include a Frou Frou song, and ended up choosing "Let Go" due to it being much better known from its inclusion of Garden State soundtrack. But it does eat at me a little I didn't choose either "Must Be Dreaming", "It's Good to Be in Love", or "Breathe In", all Frou Frou singles from "Details" album that I hold in higher regard than this song. Imogen Heap's solo "Goodnight and Go" was considered as well. If you like this song and/or some Imogen Heap songs but are not familiar with Frou Frou, definitely go check out Frou Frou's "Details" album. Will resume reveals Saturday morning. |
