For this personal RD I've picked my 40 favourite songs from my personal chart's YE to date (1st January to 30th June). We've got some bops, some nops and a whole lot of WTM discoveries, but you'll hopefully all be able to discover some great new (or old) music.
All you need to do to participate is rank the below songs from #1 (best) to #40 (worst) and send your list in a PM to me (samo🦕 /@ samosaurus1) by the 31st July. To help me enter your lists faster, please try to send your list with the songs written as they are here, which you can do by copy-and-pasting the list of songs when ranking them instead of writing them out separately.
100 gecs - ringtone (Remix) (ft. Charli XCX, Rico Nasty & Kero Kero Bonito) Alice Chater - Tonight Aly & AJ - Star Maps Amber Mark - Mixer Betty Who - A Night to Remember Betty Who - Whisper Brandi Carlile - Party of One Brandi Carlile - Sugartooth Brooks & Dunn - Neon Moon (w/ Kacey Musgraves) Carly Rae Jepsen - All That Carly Rae Jepsen - Warm Blood Caroline Polachek - Door Charli XCX - Gone (w/ Christine & The Queens) Charly Bliss - Capacity Christina Aguilera - Unless It's With You Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out Gang of Youths - The Deepest Sighs, the Frankest Shadows HAIM - Now I'm In It Hatchie - Stay With Me Janelle Monáe - What an Experience Jessie Ware - Spotlight - Single Edit Kim Petras - All the Time Kim Petras - Hillside Boys Lana Del Rey - The greatest Lizzo - Jerome Lorde - Hard Feelings/Loveless Lorde - Supercut Of Monsters and Men - Alligator Rina Sawayama - XS Sam Fender - Hypersonic Missiles Sam Fender - Will We Talk?

lmao if you didn’t want to be tagged in pop-based rankdowns you shouldn’t have asked to be added to the pop tag list

2 weeks (+ a day) remaining3 lists isn't the best initial turnout, but considering this is a personal RD I'm not expecting a massive number of lists. I'm hoping not to extend past the deadline, but if you'll need an extension in order to send, please let me know.

10 days remaining6 lists are now in, so it's time for a ballot update! - Five songs have #1 ranks: #4, #8 (which has two), #20, #30 and #32.
- There are also five songs with #40 ranks: #24, #31, #37, #38 (which has two) and #39.
- The top 3 are only separated by three points, and the current #1 has no ranks higher than a #5 (it also already has four of the same rank, which is in the top 10 but not the top 5).
- The bottom three are much clearer, with #37 and #38 being 18 points apart, and the bottom 2 are 16 points apart.
- There are four ties for #15/16, #17/18, #20/21 and #28/29.
- Interestingly, the two highest SDs are my top two, and the other highest SDs belong to #16, #20 and #33.
- #1, #40, #2, #25 and #39 have the lowest SDs.

(slightly more than) 2 weeks remainingI have a 10th list from willapted33, so it's time for a second ballot update. I'm also moving the deadline forward be a couple weeks, since there are a lot of RDs due tomorrow, and I'd like to reach at least 15 lists. - Eight songs have #1 ranks: #2, #3, #6, #7 (which has three), #9, #20, #22 and #33.
- There are now seven songs with #40 ranks: #19, #31, #32, #36, #37, #38 and #39 (which has four).
- The top 3 are still pretty close, but #1 is eight points ahead of #2, and #2 and #3 are one point apart.
- Despite pulling ahead, #1 still has no #1s, and only one top 3.
- The bottom 2 are now 17 points apart, and #38 is 32 points ahead of them, putting it only 1 point behind #37.
- There are three ties between #20/21, #25/26 and #31/32.
- The song that previously had the 2nd highest SD (which is currently #24) now has the 6th highest; #20, #23, #29, #17 and #14 are all more divisive.
- #40, #1, #3, #2 and #34 have the lowest SDs.

FWIW, I intend on submitting. I've just been busy working on other rankdown matters today.
I should be in by the deadline.

Submissions are closed!With a surprised list from Red, I'm able to close this with 16 lists! To celebrate, here's a final ballot update and some questions about the results, which will hopefully start later today. ![](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/744542222782955551/744546073967853568/unknown.png) - Eleven songs have at least one #1; only two songs have more than one (#12 has two, and has five).
- There are ten songs with #40s; four of those are in the bottom 5, and between them they count for nine #40s. The songs with multiple #40s are #40 (2), #37 (4), #36 (2) and #24 (2).
- There are two ties, between #24/25 and #30/31.
- The highest SDs belong to #27, #24, #30, #16 and #14.
- Conversely, #2, #39, #38, #4 and #33 have the lowest SDs.
- The song which spent half of the game in first place is now third, and a song which was outside the top 5 for 10/18 lists has won.
- Aside from #27 (which only spent one list at the top), the top 3 are the only songs to have been #1 at any point.
- There's a #1 loss in the bottom 10, and someone's #40 is in the top 10.
- The largest gap in points is between #32 and #33, which are 37 points apart.
1. Which songs could win/make the top 10? 2. Which songs could be #40/make the bottom 10? 3. Which song has five #1s? 4. Which song has four #40s? 5. How far do you think your #1 will go? 6. For the artists with two songs (Betty Who, Brandi Carlile, Carly Rae Jepsen, Kim Petras, Lorde, Sam Fender, Taylor Swift, Weyes Blood), which song will place higher? Betty: A Night to Remember/Whisper Brandi: Party Of One/Sugartooth Carly: All That/Warm Blood Kim: All the Time/Hillside Boys Lorde: Hard Feelings/Loveless/Supercut Sam: Hypersonic Missiles/Will We Talk? Taylor: False God/State Of Grace Weyes: Andromeda/Movies 7. Any other predictions?

1. I could see State Of Grace, XS, Supercut, Stay With Me, Gone, Hillside Boys, one of the Weyes songs as possible top tens. 2. This one is harder to guess but maybe Estranged, All These Things That I’ve Done, The Deepest Sighs, The Frankest Shadows, idk what else tbh. 3. XS? Idk this could be a lot of songs tbh 4. I have no idea 5. I think it should definitely be top half, I could see it being top ten. (Watch me get all of these flipped lol) Betty: A Night To Remember Brandi: Party Of One Carly: Warm Blood Kim: Hillside Boys Lorde: Supercut Sam: Will We Talk? Taylor: State Of Grace Weyes: Andromeda (but this could be close tbh)

I am prepared to be wrong! ![:lock:](http://forums.maxima.org/images/smilies/lockie.gif) 1. Which songs could win/make the top 10? -- The safest bets, to me, are "All That", "Gone", and "Supercut". I would expect "The Deepest Sighs" to be there, since it always does well, but the pool of participants is an interesting one. "State of Grace" should be there. I think "The greatest" will be there. Maybe "Alligator". Maybe "Hypersonic Missiles". Can't count "Warm Blood" out, either. There's a lot of potential top ten songs here, and I haven't even mentioned some of the others. I could genuinely see half of the rankdown making the top ten. I would have picked "Gone" as the winner before I saw your most recent post. The most likely replacement would be Carly, but would "All That" really have spent a good chunk of the rankdown outside the top five? Screw it, sticking with Carly. 2. Which songs could be #40/make the bottom 10? -- I'm...not sure. Maybe "Neon Moon" is there, but I wonder if Kacey has enough pull to keep it out of the bottom ten. I feel like one of the Petras songs will be there, but probably not both. Same with Betty Who. I don't know what will be #40, and I'm not even going to try to guess. 3. Which song has five #1s? -- I have two guesses. The most likely, to me, is "Gone". The other is "Stay with Me". It wouldn't surprise me if one of the other songs earned five #1s, but those are the two I'd think are most likely. 4. Which song has four #40s? -- Maybe my #40? I could see it being "ringtone" (though I hope not). 5. How far do you think your #1 will go? -- Far. I just don't know how far. 6. For the artists with two songs (Betty Who, Brandi Carlile, Carly Rae Jepsen, Kim Petras, Lorde, Sam Fender, Taylor Swift, Weyes Blood), which song will place higher? Betty: A Night to Remember/Whisper (this is a guess) Brandi: Party Of One/ Sugartooth (I'd prefer if the other one was higher, though) Carly: All That/Warm Blood (it wouldn't shock me if "Warm Blood" was higher) Kim: All the Time/ Hillside Boys (hey, look, another guess) Lorde: Hard Feelings/Loveless/ Supercut (I think HF/L gets tanked in a way that "Supercut" won't) Sam: Hypersonic Missiles/Will We Talk? (not a safe bet, but I feel confident with this one) Taylor: False God/ State Of Grace (see Sam) Weyes: Andromeda/Movies (toughest pick of the bunch, because both have their fans...I think "Andromeda" has less tankers)

1. Which songs could win/make the top 10? I think Hard Feelings/Loveless, Supercut, Now I'm In It, State of Grace, the greatest, Will We Talk?, XS, Warm Blood, Gone and Shake It Out will be the Top 10. I think maybe Supercut, State of Grace or Shake It Out could win. 2. Which songs could be #40/make the bottom 10? I have no idea really, none stood out as much worse than the rest. Maybe All The Time, Mixer, Tonight etc. 3. Which song has five #1s? Supercut or Shake It Out 4. Which song has four #40s? maybe Ringtone remix 5. How far do you think your #1 will go? I think it has a chance of winning, most likely will be top 10 though. 6. For the artists with two songs (Betty Who, Brandi Carlile, Carly Rae Jepsen, Kim Petras, Lorde, Sam Fender, Taylor Swift, Weyes Blood), which song will place higher? Betty: Whisper Brandi: Sugartooth Carly: Warm Blood Kim: Hillside Boys Lorde: Supercut Sam: Will We Talk? Taylor: State Of Grace Weyes: Movies 7. Any other predictions? Ringtone remix will have the highest standard deviation.

1. Which songs could win/make the top 10? The Lorde songs, "Gone", "the greatest" and "State Of Grace" all look like strong contenders. I think "Gone" actually has a shot at winning, with "Supercut" finishing quite high as well. 2. Which songs could be #40/make the bottom 10? Maybe "Mixer"? I also expect Christina Aguilera & Kim Petras to show up in the bottom 10. 3. Which song has five #1s? Oh wow five #1s is a huge deal, considering that it's one third of the participants. 4. Which song has four #40s? Honestly have no idea. 5. How far do you think your #1 will go? Quite far if I'm being honest. I believe it is a top 10 contender but it might leave somewhere in the 10s. 6. For the artists with two songs which song will place higher? Betty: A Night to Remember/Whisper Brandi: Party Of One/Sugartooth Carly: All That/Warm Blood Kim: All the Time/Hillside Boys Lorde: Hard Feelings/Loveless/Supercut Sam: Hypersonic Missiles/Will We Talk? Taylor: False God/State Of Grace Weyes: Andromeda/Movies
