I think most of my top 10 will be in the overall top 10, and Friday I'm In Love will win. I don't think most of my ranks will be too controversial but there were a decent number of songs I never heard before that I don't know how Pulse feels about so hard to say for sure. Did you mean Just Like Heaven???

What songs do you guys think could win or be in the top 5 at least? Pet Shop Boys - It's A Sin New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough ABC - The Look Of Love Yazoo - Don't Go Dark horse: Climie Fisher - Love Changes Everything
What songs do you guys think could be last or be in the bottom 5 at least? One Way - Cutie Pie F.R. David – Words (even though it was a big hit internationally. It sounds very early 80’s to me) Modern Talking - Brother Louie Trinere - They're Playing Our Song
What songs do you guys think has the highest standard deviation? JJ Fad and LL Cool J
What songs do you guys think has the lowest standard deviation? New Order and Bizarre Love Triangle. Also ABC and the Look of Love
What songs was your favorite discovery? (do not say the song name just say the position that you ranked it) #24
Which top 10 do you expect to lose first? (say the position you ranked it) Good question. My #9 (Oran Juice – the Rain) will likely leave first because people are haters and don’t recognize how awesomely full of 80’s machismo this is
Which bottom 10 do you expect to last the longest? (say the position you ranked it) My #42 (Living on Video) has some fans out there..
Any other surprise and bold predictions? Someone is going to do I Want Candy dirty…

What songs do you guys think could win or be in the top 5 at least?"Bizarre Love Triangle", "Never Too Much", "Just Like Heaven", "Just Can't Get Enough", "Video Killed the Radio Star" or "It's A Sin" (but these are essentially just wild guesses).What songs do you guys think could be last or be in the bottom 5 at least?"Felicita", "You Can Call Me Al", "Words", "I Need Love", maybe "I Want Candy".What songs do you guys think has the highest standard deviation? (23)
Probably something like "Supersonic" or "It Takes Two" or "Clear".What songs do you guys think has the lowest standard deviation? (11)"You Can Call Me Al", "Talkin' Bout A Revolution".What songs was your favorite discovery? (do not say the song name just say the position that you ranked it)3 (even I'm surprised to have never heard it before, or at least I don't recall hearing it before).Which top 10 do you expect to lose first? (say the position you ranked it)
4.Which bottom 10 do you expect to last the longest? (say the position you ranked it)
2, and I hope it can win (though it may not even make the top ten, for all I know). Any other surprise and bold predictions?I'm sure some of my above clueless predictions are already pretty bold on their own.

So I see that You Can Call Me Al can either be bottom 5 or 11th place which is where the lowest SD landed. Also didn’t know that a 2 rank was considered bottom 10.

Honorable Mention 26 (and IMO should have been on this Rankdown too) - Alphaville - Forever Young
I always thought that this made a year end list but turned out that it didn't. Just realized it now.

Song number 40 is the 2nd lowest standard deviation of the Rankdown. It only has 2 top half ranks and I am not surprised at the 2 people who ranked it top half. It has the lowest highest rank of the Rankdown too with 10 being the highest. This was not always last, but was usually in the bottom 5. It became last near the end because no one else was really boosting it. At first I was surprised to see this that low and last place, but now that I think about it, not actually surprised. Maybe some of you guys could see this as a surprise. 2 40s will go out.

Interesting this is out first... I could see why this didn’t do so good. I enjoyed it though!

It's only the 2nd reveal of the Rankdown and we already have someone losing their number 1. Because of the number 1 being out already, it is the 12th highest SD. Someone else barely ranked it in the top 10 too and a few were very close to rank it top 10. 5 people ranked this song last place, the most of any in the Rankdown. This song was the last place for majority of the Rankdown around the middle mostly and to be honest, I did not think that this song would end up this low or last place. I guess that I also can see why, but I also thought that this was more loved. It climbed up to 37 before dropping back down to 39. What song could this be?

I liked this, and I didn't really consider it as a last-place contender, but I guess it makes sense for it to have a low SD. And why do I feel like my #1 could be next? I don't expect it to do well, but it shouldn't be THIS low.

#7 was my favorite discovery btw. Unless you count #6 which I only knew through the song that samples it.
edit: and I definitely don't expect my #1 to go out any time soon so idk.

Not one of LLCool J's best song(s) but the sentiment around it was sweet.

I can appreciate the message, but I just don't find the song interesting or memorable, and I don't really like the delivery.

38 was the last song to receive a top 10 rank, and it's a number 2. That is the only top 10 rank for the song. This song also spent a brief time at 40 after I Need Love and before They're Playing Our Song. It has no 40s though, and this is another song I hoped to see a little higher. This beat I Need Love by only 4 points.

I am conflicted on this because I like the beat but like the song itself isn’t super attention gaining for me tbh

I Need Love is outrageously cheesy; LL was really embarrassing himself here

Next up at 37 is one of the songs that I thought would have been low or a contender for 40. But instead, it held the highest standard deviation for 1 list. It ended up 7th highest overall. Someone else loses their 2 and 2 more people lose a top 10 and a few come very close to losing a top 10 too. It has 1 40 rank. I think after the 3rd or 4th list this was 40 before it got a high rank then it stayed in the 34-37 range the rest of the way. Kind of surprised that it held the highest SD for a list. It's 52 points ahead of 38. What song do you guys think that this could be?
