I can understand and accept the position of Hello Earth, as it didn't really place that low, BUT Under Ice??? Come on! The song is a little masterpiece!
If anything, I am surprised that Waking The Witch is still in the running!

To kick off tonight's reveals we're eliminating one of two songs remaining without any #1s, though it does have three #2s. It's also the first of two songs tied for the highest SD. Highest rank: 2 (x3) Perfect rankings: 1 Lowest rank: 12

Despite spending the first half of the game in the top 4, #5 fell far short of the songs above it by the end of submissions, and only beat Waking The Witch by a single point. #1s: 3 Top 3s: 0 Bottom 3s: 4

#2-4 are all pretty close together, with #4 only missing the top 3 by five points. It has the highest SD of any song left, and finished 27 points ahead of And Dream Of Sheep. #1s: 1 Top 3s: 6 Bottom 3s: 1

#3 had the weakest run of the top 4, but only finished twelve points short of the top 2, and ended up going further than any other song without a #1. #1s: 0 Top 3s: 7 Bottom 3s: 2

Only two songs remain: Cloudbusting and Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God). One of these was in the top 2 for almost the entire game, while the other had a worse start, but solidified its top 2 finish, with the lower of these two songs still beating Hounds Of Love by twelve points.
But which will win? Find out in 10 minutes.

A massive thanks to everyone for the increased turnout for this one - hopefully that'll help with the later albums. For now, The Sensual World's opening post should be up soon, but feel free to start making your lists now.

Surprise, surprise! Guess who got last place for closeness.
The great songs here didn't do that hot, and I guess the singles, because of familiarity, were gonna win anyways no matter what. I will participate in the next rankdowns, thankfully moving on from this album that is among my least favorites from Kate.

Four years after the incredible success of Hounds Of Love (and three after her first greatest hits album, The Whole Story), Kate released her next album, The Sensual World. While not as big (critically or commercially) as its predecessor, the album was still successful, and is now often considered to be some of her best work. As with Hounds Of Love, The Sensual World was highly successful in the UK, debuting and peaking at #2 and spending 20 weeks on the albums chart and becoming the 39th best-selling album of '89 (despite only having 10 charting weeks in that year). It was also widely critically acclaimed, with none of its professional ratings falling below 75%, which includes a 9.4 from Pitchfork. Unlike Kate's previous album, The Sensual World hasn't re-entered the UK charts since its original run, though its critical reception remains very positive, with it making the top 60 on Slant Magazine's list of the best albums of the '80s. Much like the album, the singles were still successful, just less so than the previous album's. All three hit the top 40 in the UK, although none were able to reach the top 10. The singles did lead to success on the US rock charts that none of her previous albums had, as the title track and "Love And Anger" both became top 10 hits on the alternative airplay chart (with the latter being her only #1 on any US chart). In case you're unfamiliar with how rankdowns work, you just need to rank these from #1 (your favourite) to #11 (your least favourite) and send your list to me in a PM. {The tracklist}1. The Sensual World 2. Love and Anger 3. The Fog 4. Reaching Out 5. Heads We're Dancing 6. Deeper Understanding 7. Between A Man And A Woman 8. Never Be Mine 9. Rocket's Tail 10. This Woman's Work 11. Walk Straight Down The Middle {And without numbers}The Sensual World Love and Anger The Fog Reaching Out Heads We're Dancing Deeper Understanding Between A Man And A Woman Never Be Mine Rocket's Tail This Woman's Work Walk Straight Down The Middle It's likely that this won't be the final deadline, but for now I'll have this due on the 15th April (just under three weeks from now).

Thanks for the tag, I'm bummed that I missed out on Hounds of Love as that would have been great to rank down. I'm not nearly as familiar with Kate Bush's discography as I'd like to be, personally.

Just as a random note: "Walk Straight Down The Middle" isn't showing up on spotify for me so I will have to look it up elsewhere. I don't know if anyone else is having that problem as well.
