Pulse Rankdown: 2021 Year-End Alternative Chart (done)

[maine]

Joywave is Alt's most underrated band. They deserve more than to be just playlist filler.

[Red]

The first time they've missed the top 20 of an Alt RD since the beginning of 2018.

It's been four years since they missed a top 20. Insane consistency.

um

okay anyways, high SD coming next!!!!!!dj3i9d03fj0

[CarnoTorrential]

May have slightly underranked this one lol

[wrip]

definitely interesting to see this as her 2nd highest performer in rock rankdowns. this slaps though, and after feeling slightly underwhelmed by some of her first couple of singles, this was a nice comeback.

I Hate it here.

[Red]

I liked this more than "Your Power", but I think the only song to hit from that record for me is the obvious one.

I do recognize that this and "Oxytocin" are pretty decent, though.

It's nice to see that Kings of Leon are still Kings of Leon.

"The Bucket" being the worst performer, though...

Damn, I was hoping this would be a dark horse into the top 10. This is such a good song. I'm glad this charted for them again. This album was actually pretty solid, wish it got more attention.

[Red]

I'm glad this is now their second best performer, at least.

It's basically a synthier "Pink Lenonade", but "Pink Lemonade" rules, so it makes sense that this does, too.

if I'm being honest, I was kind of hoping this would miss the top 20. like it's fine enough but nowhere near their best song. it kind of feels a bit more "there" to me.

The hosts: yes

I've been a fan of The Marías for quite a few years now, so seeing them get a charting hit on the rock charts genuinely made me so happy (especially considering they got a #1 on AAA!!!). this isn't even my favorite song from them, but it is still really good. I was rooting for this to make top 10 (hopefully it can do better in the AAA rankdown!)
