 Hey Pulse!------------My friend Fire and I are here to host the 2020 iteration of the Non-US rankdown! For those of you who haven't participated in a previous year's rankdown, it comprises of every song which made a year-end chart in Canada, the UK and/or Australia but not the American year-end list. A few exceptions to this rule:- Songs which made a previous international hits rankdown won't be included (with the exception of South Of The Border this year since Beno forgot last year tsk tsk)
- Songs that will likely make the 2021 American year end (i.e. Lemonade, You Broke Me First, What You Know 'Bout Love) won't be included either
Without any further ado, here's the whole 59-song list:
220 Kid & Gracey - Donβt Need Love (#45 UK)
Aitch x AJ Tracey f/Tay Keith - Rain (#32 UK)
AJ Tracey & Mabel - West Ten (#64 UK)
AJ Tracey f/MoStack - Dinner Guest (#37 UK)
Ali Gatie - What If I Told You That I Love You (#81 Canada)

Some other things I need to say:
- Please listen to all the songs and rank them honestly (don't tank a song for strategic reasons)
- Be sure to send your lists to both me (walt91 ) and Fire (Fire ) or we won't include it!
- If we mis-enter your rank for a certain song or make another error, don't hesitate to let us know! We won't bite 
The due date is set (tentatively) at March 1, so get to ranking!

not complaining but how did The Less I Know The Better end up here lmao Its just weirdly big? TikTok was the driving force, but instead of dying, it just kinda stayed consistently streamed. Still enters the Spotify 200 of USA fairly often. |

Tame Impala made it here thanks to Triple J's Hottest 100 of the 2010's list, I believe - Wiki says it topped the list, and it kinda took off after that (it hadn't even charted in the top 50 until after the list came out, where it made the top 20).
Triple J's Hottest 100 lists tend to be pretty influential on the ARIA charts when they're released - it's also how Flume & Vera Blue were able to 1) land a top 10 peak and 2) hold up well enough to make the year-end chart.

the reason TLIKTB is here while other old songs arenβt is because this is TLIKTBβs first time making any year end list~

Part of me wishes the US had a list like the Hottest 100, but I know itβd be pointless because stans would destroy it

 fr you guys better not do Glitter, Rushing Back or TLIKTB dirty, jjjcore never gets the love on pulse it deserves it's also fucking hilarious to see ONEFOUR on this list, and it's even funnier to see them on the UK year end chart over the Australia one |

Don't know if I'll send a list, but I'm still interested to follow the rankdown.
Edit: I decided to not send a list. But please tag me for the reveals.

time for a reminder plus some honorable mentions! there's about one month left
Jubel f/ NEIMY - Dancing In The Moonlight
Peaks: #11 UK, #23 Australia
Yes, it's a King Harvest cover.
Mackenzie Porter - These Days
Peaks: #44 Canada, #45 US Country
You may remember this one from seed four of WTM.
Amy Shark - Everybody Rise
Peaks: #31 Australia, about #28 on US AAA
This is a lot worse than her other songs from previous world hits rankdowns imo |

Everybody Rise is probably the worst thing I've heard from Amy Shark, I doubt it would make my top half in this list which says a lot given where I normally rank her in these

Okay here's some more honorable mentions!
Sam Smith f/ Demi Lovato - I'm Ready
Peaks: #25 Australia, #30 Canada, #20 UK
This is a mess.
Juice Wrld - Righteous
Peaks: #15 Australia, #9 Canada, #26 UK
I wish this had made a year-end list. His best song imo, RIP.
Clean Bandit f/ Mabel & 24KGoldn - Tick Tock
Peaks: #61 Australia, #8 UK
It's catchy but I miss when Clean Bandit were more exciting with their productions. Also naming a song "Tick Tock" in 2020 is so desperate lol

alright so just something i need to say:
we've decided to add "take you dancing" by jason derulo to the list (we originally excluded it because it was still climbing the hot 100 and we thought it had a pretty reasonable chance of making the US YE, but it's now starting to crash on pop radio and likewise will also soon start crashing on the hot 100 with very little chance of making the US YE lol)
to those who have already submitted a list, please add "take you dancing" to your rankings, thanks~

There's a little over two weeks left to send! I think it's about time for some more honorable mentions.
Virginia To Vegas - betterman
Peaks: #48 Canada
I have nothing to say about this except that it was a CanCon CHR hit.
Conan Gray - Heather
Peaks: #26 Canada, #13 Australia, #17 UK
Quite surprised we're avoiding ranking this one, but it's also very overhyped imo so can't say I'm upset.
Niko B - Who's That What's That
Peaks: #26 UK
This is... exceedingly British, for lack of a better word.

I am super late on this but today I learned that her brother won canadian idol in 2004 lol (may or may not have found this out due to me searching for songs for a rankdown idea I have π) |

since we've hit six lists, it's time for a ballot update!
- at the moment, two songs are tied for #1, with both having 29 points. One of them has by far the lowest SD, and the other has the 14th lowest.
- The current #59 has 390 points, four lower than the current #58. Interestingly, it doesn't have any last place ranks itself but a bunch of otherwise low ranks instead.
- As previously mentioned, the lowest SD belongs to one of the current #1s. The song with the highest SD is currently #16.
