Levitating takes its rightful crown. One of the best pop songs I’ve ever heard. And now that we’ve covered that, GO COWBOYS GO COWBOYS GO COWBOYS PLEASE FINISH THE COMEBACK

I see your music taste has spread to your taste in teams 💀

Yep, the absolute fucking best taste

[singingrulebritannia]

"Save Your Tears" is pretty average from a songwriting standpoint but it does stand out a little because of the Electric Light Orchestra influence

[312999]

Ok I didn’t expect it to win by like 500 points.

[lyhom]

oh yeah if we're going to plug rankdowns here then please send for my vaguely "indie" rd I opened a few weeks ago! it's due on 02/04

[Leo ✔]

Fire You KILLED with the hosting. Amazing job!!!

[Darkest Hour]

Say what you will for Save Your Tears, this is one of best live performances last year.

[khan]

thanks for putting this on Fire! Close to a hundred participants must have been NUTS to deal with

and there you have it!! thank you guys so much for participating in this rankdown, this was by far the biggest rd i've ever hosted, so i'm glad it went well, especially since i was kinda nervous that i'd be pretty fucking ass as a host lmao.

thanks to everyone who sent a list or followed along for this rd! i really appreciate it!! this was definitely the most fun i've ever had hosting a rd, especially drumming up the tension throughout all of it, and considering that this past week in particular was kinda rough for me doing something fun like this was really what i needed lmao

idk when or if i'll host another rd after this, but that said, there's really never a point where there aren't multiple open at a time, consider sending for some of those, i'm sure the hosts would love a list from you :)

take care!!

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

tnx for hosting fire, great great job!

[wrip]

congrats dua lipa on winning a pulse rankdown for the 293348459th time  :|

I'll be honest this song has never been my favorite from future nostalgia and like I've never completely gotten why it's regarded as some 10/10 song when it just sounds like your normal pop song? idk I'm just so tired of levitating at this point lol.

[𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿]

I'm good with "Levitating" winning because it is the superior song over "Save Your Tears" (second year in a row where the RD winner is the YE #1)

Thanks for hosting this Fire Rankdown!

[fearlessarrow]

Thanks for hosting Fire! From my one experience with hosting Hot 100 RDs, it's a lot of work (and I even had a wonderful co-host named Red lol) so amazing job and it was a blast following it :)

[312999]

I know it will not happen but Love Again over Levitating in the Pop Rankdown.

Also Good Days will be winning the Urban Rankdown for sure, only contenders for it are Industry Baby and Leave The Dood Open I think, so it’s going to win a Rankdown soon.

If that was the case, they wouldn't be losing against the 49rs of all teams (Easily the worst of the Cali Trio....idc what anyone says Raiders is still Cali 4 Life)

[Deleted]

Bruno would already be in my top 5 for next year, ain’t afraid to admit that

[PREDS PRIDE]

great hosting job fire! honestly you should be a frontrunner for best games host just because of this, that was incredible

yeah, before 2021 it was a good pop song imo (not even close to DSN and Physical tho), but after hearing it in like 200k insta, tik tok and yt videos, I don't wanna hear it ever again.

all the criticism of levitating in here and other places.... lol

i'm not saying that none of them are valid, it's just that the song really hits all the sweet spots for me in a pop song, i don't think it's fair for me to bring it down just for being big budget music that was huge all year.

whatever, i liked the reveals, you guys were at your funniest, and fire was a great host. happy for everything that's happened here!

Be black? After all, this person does hate rap music too. 🤔

[RoseColoredGirl]

Thank you so much for hosting, Fire! This was easily the most fun rankdown I've ever been a part of! :)

[DJDaveMick69]

Sorry for all the drama.

Thanks Fire for hosting.

[taylor is terrified]

I knew Taylor would be the one that barely snuck in with “willow” but look at fearlessarrow and I bringing taste with our #1s you love to see it!!!!

WTF @ BILLIE MISSING THE TOP 5 ENTIRELY?!?!?!? are y’all serious?! that’s literally the song of the year y’all continue to drive me insane sometimes. i want an entire album of that second half pls

olivia deserved the Top 2 and i wouldn’t have minded seeing her win idc

but i really like levitating so i’m glad dua got what she deserved last year!!!

many many thanks to Fire for hosting this great rankdown and doing such a fabulous job with it!!! you deserve a PMA for it tbh and you should pay yourself on the back

as Fire said, come send a list for my rankdown!!! if you wanna see songs like “willow” and “happier than ever” get another chance then this is the rankdown for you…even if there’s a massive amount of country, lol. and yes there’s a ton of taylor lol but also i have adele and miranda lambert and obviously my favorite man on earth, conan gray!!! lists are due february 23 and you can see the full song list here!!

ps. why do i kinda wanna host the 2022 year-end lmao (i’m serious. i actually wanna do this. but i would definitely want a co-host lol)

[reputainbow]

i audibly gasped at good days only being ranked... 4TH???????? WHAT THE FUCK????

thank you for hosting fire btw! <3

[HeyHeyHey]

Thank you for hosting Fire! That was really fun! “Levitating” and “Save Your Tears” are both great songs so I can’t argue with the top 2.

In terms of the years as a whole - it is strange because country is what I listen to the most and I prefer 2020 to 2021 when it comes to country music…BUT…I think when it comes to the lists as a whole I prefer 2021.

Hoping 2022 brings us lots of great music!

[Gonza'90]

Good Days and Happier Than Ever should have been the Top 2.

Thanks for hosting, Fire.

[Darkest Hour]

Thanks Fire for hosting! Expected but deserved win for Levitating.
