I actually thought Rocket's Tail would be out in the very first reveal, so this is a nice surprise! Sad to see it go, but it surpassed my expectations.

not my direct quoting of HoL's mid-reveal stats post biting me in the ass at least i have this to prove i planned otherwise with the top 5 coming on Tuesday speaking of... Despite being the last song without any #1s, #5 actually has the highest SD remaining thanks to all of its ranks being in the top 6 or the bottom 2. #1s: 0 Top 3s: 3 Perfect rankings: 2 Bottom 3s: 3

Thanks to #3's rough start this song was able to hold in the top 3 for a few lists, but eventually missed by 15 points (the biggest gap between any two songs in the game). #1s: 2 Top 3s (including #1s): 4 Perfect rankings: 2 Bottom 3s: 1

The top 3 wound up extremely close (as in, one list could've reversed their order completely and should've tbh), even though #3 very much had to come from behind. #1s: 2 Top 3s (including #1s): 8 Perfect rankings: 3 Bottom 3s: 1

The top 2 had very similar runs, spending all but one list as the top 2. One song was leading for most of the game, but the other beat it by one point in the end. They're the only songs with more than two #1s and both have only two ranks outside the top 5.
But which will win, The Sensual World or This Woman's Work? Find out in 10 minutes.

We're now more than halfway through Kate's discography, but before I open the next album's rankdown ( The Red Shoes) I'm taking a hiatus from this for a couple weeks while I finish my exams (I'll be back in June). Thanks again to everyone who sent for this; none of these would be possible without your efforts.

I look forward to the next one. It's always good day to be able to listen to a Kate Bush album.

Thank you for the rankdown. Complete non-shock at the winner, but a deserved one.

It would be another four-year wait until Kate's next album, The Red Shoes. With this album, Kate wanted to create an album that sounded like it could be played by a live band, and planned on touring following its release. Unfortunately, the tour never came to be due to a series of personal losses Kate suffered while working on the album (including her long-time guitarist and her mother). The Red Shoes became Kate's highest-charting album on the Billboard 200 (for now?), peaking at #28. Like her previous album, it reached #2 on the UK albums chart and has been certified platinum there, on top of being the 32nd best-selling album of 1993 with only 7 weeks charted in that year. While not as well-received as her last two albums, The Red Shoes still saw positive critical reception overall. Kate has said that she regrets the use of digital recording techniques for this album, so several of the songs here were rerecorded with analogue equipment for her 2011 album Director's Cut. The album's singles saw a similar level of success to The Sensual World's, with all four that were available in the UK making the top 30 there, and lead single Rubberband Girl peaking just outside the top 10 (and becoming her most recent song (until next week!) to chart in the US, at #88). In case you're unfamiliar with how rankdowns work, you just need to rank these from #1 (your favourite) to #12 (your least favourite) and send your list to me in a PM. {The tracklist}1. Rubberband Girl 2. And So Is Love 3. Eat The Music 4. Moments Of Pleasure 5. The Song Of Solomon 6. Lily 7. The Red Shoes 8. Top Of The City 9. Constellation Of The Heart 10. Big Stripey Lie 11. Why Should I Love You? 12. You're The One {And without numbers}Rubberband Girl And So Is Love Eat The Music Moments Of Pleasure The Song Of Solomon Lily The Red Shoes Top Of The City Constellation Of The Heart Big Stripey Lie Why Should I Love You? You're The One Like with previous albums this probably won't be the final deadline, but for now your lists are due on the 24th June.

5 days remaining5. God- Three songs have #1s so far; the current winner has three, while #2 and #10 have one each.
- After the first list only one song has been in last place, and is currently 5 points behind #11.
- The only significant gap between two songs is the 10 points separating the top 2, with the only other gap larger than 5 being between #5 and #6.
- Every #12 has been given to a different song so far. None of those are higher than #6, and all of the bottom 3 have one.
- The lowest SD belongs to #1, which hasn't got a rank outside the top 4 so far, on top of its three #1s.
- There's a drop from the four highest SDs to the rest, and those four belong to #10, #7, #11 and #6.
- We've only had one tie after any list, and there are currently none.
