I didn't know that "Stereo Love" was a hit in the US. I might do this rankdown. If I don't, tag me in reveals.

Finally getting to completing my ranking, I should have it in next week (yeah, I know that's what I said last week, but I'll actually git 'r dun this time).

Also, I never realized that the music video for F**kin' Perfect literally begins with f**kin'. That was... certainly a sight.

Sent. Pretty sure I sent to all the correct people. There's some greatness in this year, and there's some...crap. LOL

Hey, weird, I actually remembered to do this. I would have done this last week, but I went on a bit of a vacation (both from the internet and in general). I'm back now, though, so let's do this.
As always, if you wish to be tagged in these reminders, make sure to let one of us know! And keep reminding us, or, at the very least, me, as I'm bad with remembering these sorts of things. THREE WEEKS UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

My list will be in either tonight or tomorrow. I've only got 9 songs to go.

Looked at the original, and No Hands, I'm On One, or You & Tequila should probably all do better this time, at least high 70s range (70-73). Hopefully Lupe can make top 10 also.
I feel like The Lazy Song and Tonight will do even worse

After a day of busting my ass shoveling on my family's land, I got some time to finish up the ranking. 2011 was one of the best years for pop music in the 2010s, and there were a lot of good and great songs this year. Here is how the list shakes up in terms of ratings: 1-24: Great (5/5) 25-43: Good (4/5) 44-75: Decent (3/5) 76-93: Mediocre (2/5) 94-99: Bad (1/5) 100: Terrible (0/5) That's right, only ONE terrible song on the Year-End list, you done good 2011. See you all on May 6th!

This is a...slightly less big B-B-B-B-BALLOT UPDATE than last time, but that is out of necessity. I can't do 10+ poster ballot updates every time, it would be too much to cover.
So, who's riding the ballot wave this time? Along with my co-hosts, wrip and fearlessarrow, there's also ๐บCountryLineDancer, rom, weaver, @gabingston, and wyckyd!
- The same six songs as last update have continued to be in every top ten so far. Five of the six songs make up the current top five, but one song is (kind of) close to falling out of the top ten.
- You thought things were close at the top last time? The lead for #1 over #2 is a scant two points, which would be one thing, but #1's lead over #3 is only five points. These three songs have all spent time at #1 during the course of this update. The gap is widening elsewhere, though, with only #4 really all that close to the top three (and, even then, it's over 50 points behind #3).
- Hey, remember that "surprising song in the top ten currently"? It's still there. Its position in the top ten isn't as safe as some of the songs above it, but I have been thoroughly impressed with this song's performance so far. Meanwhile, the song that was "nearly bottom 20" in the last update is still pretty low, though it's closer to escaping the bottom 30 than it was last time.
- #100 has become more of a race in this ballot update, though things still really aren't THAT close, as more than 40 points separate #99 and #100. #100 is also still well behind most of the rest of the field, and it's also the same song as it was at the end of the last ballot update.
-There's a bigger gap between #10 and #11 than there was in the last update, though it's still plenty manageable for the #11: 23 points currently keep said #11 from eclipsing #10. Things are also slightly wider when it comes to #90 and #91, though the gap there is also manageable (19 points, to be precise).
- THRESHOOOOOOOOOOOOLDS! The top two are the first two songs to cross the 1600 point mark, and only six songs have gotten to 1500 points. In terms of milestones, 42 songs have now moved their way past 1000 points, and only fourteen songs have failed to reach 500 points. The bottom three have yet to get to the 300 point plateau, though, given where #100 was at the end of the first ballot update, I'm sure it will take that.
- Standard deviations are fun for everyone. The former highest standard deviation now isn't even in the top five highest SDs, so that was fun while it lasted. The two new highest standard deviations are songs I expect to see as high SDs at the end of the rankdown. They can be found at #18 and #39. #100 is no longer the lowest SD, as well....and, incredibly, it's not even in the top 20 lowest SDs anymore. In fact, there's somewhat widespread changes on the lowest SD front, with the current #94 now holding the title of lowest SD. The current top four take up four of the next five spots on the list.
- TIE GAME? No, wait, actually, it's just...
There are no top ten ties this time, but there are still ties to be had, with #23, #47, #52, and #81 all being landing spots for our current ties.

I don't love 2011 as much as a lot of others here do, but there's some great songs in this list, including some of my favourites of the decade (they'd probably top that list if "Take Me to Church" and "DNA." didn't exist).
1 to 5: Excellent 6 to 15: Great 16 to 34: Good 35 to 62: Decent 63 to 89: Meh 90 to 99: Bad 100: nah, get in the trunk

The deadline edges closer, and, as always, I expect things to pick up more next week than this week, but here's to hoping some of you guys surprise us!
As always, if you wish to be tagged in these reminders, make sure to let one of us know! And keep reminding us, or, at the very least, me, as I'm bad with remembering these sorts of things. TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

Considering that the rankdown begins in three days, I'd have thought that this thread would be more active.

Umm, this is due TODAY, and yet the rankdown seems completely dead. What are the three hosts up to? I'd honestly give an extension because of how inactive this thread has been.

True, but Fearless and Wrip haven't missed a single day of Madness, as co-hosts surely one of them could say something?

I also would like to know whether or not it is worth it for me to rush to get my list in within the next 5 hours, though I do have 75 of the 100 songs ranked.

Okay, so let's talk for a second.
Here's the deal: The plan has been to announce that we are moving the deadline back a week to May 13th today. It coincides with what will now be the one week deadline, which is what I was supposed to do last week. This is happening mostly because wrip's schedule makes it virtually impossible for all three of us to reveal over the course of the next week, and I don't want it to be just two of us revealing. Could I have made a post earlier? Probably. I have been around at times (though we've been busy more often than not lately), and I never want to make any of you feel like you have to rush to submit. For that, I do apologize. Having said that, that's not to say that NOTHING has been getting done. We have been working on the sheet, so those of you who have submitted in the last two weeks have been taken into account.
I'm also not going to touch the tags, because if you submitted in a bit of a rush and want some time to reconsider your rankings, those of you who have been tagged this whole time now have more time and you should be made aware of that fact.
I apologize for the lack of transparency and the lack of information the last two weeks. This is not dead. We just need to take a little more time.
EDIT: Oh, let me clarify something else really quick: I specifically told wrip and fearless that I would be making this post today and to hold off on making posts themselves. It is not their fault whatsoever that no one has said anything. This is all me. ONE WEEK UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

I've thought of hosting rankdowns before, but it does seem like a daunting task, even if it were a smaller one.
