I liked this more than I expected to considering how much I dislike the melody of "Mine" and how fast his duet with Camila burned on me. Still not really a fan tho and his appeal is largely lost on me thus far.

#29 was a pretty indifferent one. One top 5 goes out, but for the most part, people are losing a song that was in their mid-ranks. This did get a #40, however.

I absolutely love the bridge of this song. There's a lot of emotion in this track, and this has always been one of my favorites from Ryan (probably behind "Start a Fire"). He kinda just disappeared from the music scene. He released a pretty solid album in 2014, then a single in 2017, then he's basically been just silent since. I think he does a few random shows but that's it. #29

This is probably the song that left the least impression on me overall, positive or negative, but I don't think it was particularly bad, either.
Looking back...I probably should have swapped this and Bazzi.

Three top 10s and a top 5 are going to be leaving here at #28. This one had an alright start, then really started to sink and even fell into the bottom 5 before picking itself back up and carrying over to #28.

Ben is super underrated. I knew him well before "Brand New" (yeah, I'm a hipster), so seeing him kinda blow up with that was awesome. His whole The Walking In Between album had some really good stuff on it. I have a huge soft spot for the singer/songwriter kinda songs he does, and this was one of the poppier ones on the record (and my favorite).

This song really hit me hard. No first listen stuck out to me as much on the initial listen. It's not my favorite discovery, but it's not that far off.

We see our fourth highest standard deviation of the rankdown at #27. Four people lose a top 10, and someone comes awfully close to a #1. We've been seeing that a lot, but only one person has lost a #1 so far (it was me, fuck you guys).

I can't really tell you how exactly I found this band. I want to say their song "Just Say It" was in a random video I watched, but I'm honestly not sure. That was my introduction to them, and then I ended up finding this one and really liking it as well. I think it's got a cute throwback kinda vibe to it while staying current.

Even given how I could see someone thinking that the chorus is a little annoying, everything else in "Vinyl" is perfectly fine...though yeah, with a better chorus, I probably would have put this higher.

We're running a little low on #40s now, but #26 sees another one go out. This one was one that sat in the middle of the list for the majority of the rankdown besides a few times in the bottom 10, but it was never really going to stick there.

This song is a lot of fun. I've always really loved this one since this album came out. I'm not sure why, but this has stuck with me as a top 5 favorite from them, and it's just a really random album track not many people really listen to, lol. I think this is lyrically a total mess with some stuff lmao, but overall this song is rocking and showcases Maroon 5's ability as a band like you don't see ever anymore. #26

I think that what Maroon 5 has become has tainted how a lot of people see their past music, but Songs About Jane and It Won't Be Seen Before Long still hold up as solid pop albums. This isn't in the tippy top tier of those albums, but it's still solid.

I like the parent album, but the song is not a highlight there for me. 🤷♂️

I really dig the vibe of this song and what it’s trying to do but melodically it falls a bit flat for me. So the result is a mid-range ranking from me.

God, this song is absolutely gorgeous. It's so airy and wonderful, and this has some really solid songwriting where it paints the picture where you can see the song. This being the highest SD is a choice, but I do get it. This song sticks out like a sore thumb because it is easily the most different of this set of songs, but I felt like I couldn't do a rankdown without ranking this somewhere. This song is outstanding. I didn't even realize I ranked this at just #19 – it's something I should have probably had just outside my top 10.

This song blew me away when I listened to it for the first time, and it blew me away even more the second time. James said that he was considering this for an upcoming rankdown, and, even knowing some of the songs that are in it, I'm almost positive this would have been high for me there, too. One of my favorite discoveries in a long time.
Okay, with that out of the way, can we just get to the Carly vs. Dua Lipa fireworks factory and skip the next 22 reveals? Thanks.

Let's get back to regularly scheduled programming for #24. Four top 10s here. This is our first song to not spend any time in the 30s. It did well to start but kinda just kept falling as more lists came in.
