Now, THIS one, I wasn't prepared for. I assumed it would be top half, maybe even end up around this spot or in the top ten at the end, but I never thought it would look like a threat to win, at one point. It's really cool that this song was a top ten contender the entire time.

After this song reached #1, I thought it was a foregone conclusion that this song would breeze into the top ten at the end. Some posters had other ideas...
Like singingrulebritannia and Daryl the Beryl, for example, who are clearing their bottom tens.

This felt like 'just another CHVRCHES song'. Which IMO wasn't good enough in a rankdown full of career bests What's unusual here, though, is that 'just another CHVRCHES song' usually still means it makes the rankdown's top 5 lmao

Honestly solid results! Definitely happy to clear out quite a few low ranks before the top ten. Though, CHVRCHES, The Roots, and TWOD were all robbed (especially CHVRCHES!!)
I’m pretty cool with pretty much anything winning here

It’s a bit of a downer to lose my 1 and 2 back to back, but this whole list was super solid so I don’t mind that much ig
Rooting for anything in my top 10 to eventually win here!

Keep You On My Side is one of my favourite CHVRCHES songs so it would have been in my top 3 if I did this rankdown

Interesting that my putting Chvrches at #5 was able to boost them from #4 to #1 during movements. Guess that meant the top 3 prior were some of my lowest ranked songs remaining, while my #1 and #2 weren't close to the top.

Well, at least one of the women got into the top ten, anyway.
Congrats on clearing your bottom tens, @trilogy and MoD, and my condolences, Sambalada.

I still contend that around half of Channel Orange is better than this song, but it's still pretty good

Yeah, I kind of figured this would make the top ten here after it did as well as it did in the WTM final.
Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, nickd.

This being the last song on Random Access Memories hits even harder now than it did almost a decade ago.
Congrats on clearing your bottom tens, thethirdcurry and rowellfarm490.

I've always been of the mind that Contact is basically Superheroes but longer. And the reason Superheroes works so well for me is that it doesn't overstay its welcome

Four of the five remaining songs either have a top ten highest or top ten lowest SD. I will not say whether or not this one is the outlier.

This song got to the top five, but not before struggling every step of the way.
Congrats on clearing your bottom tens, Geometrical and especially Leo ✔, who is finally relieved of their #40 burden.
