Would've liked to rank these:
Allison Ponthier - Harshest Critic
Amythyst Kiah - Black Myself
Fiona Apple - Under the Table
Heartless Bastards - How Low
Holly Humberstone - The Walls Are Way Too Thin
Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real - Perennial Bloom (Back to You)
Nilüfer Yanya - Crash
Parker Millsap - The Real Thing
PREP - Turn the Music Up (this should've done something on alt too)
The Hold Steady - Family Farm

Cloud 9 is great but if it didn't go top 10 on alt I'm not so sure it'd do better here.

Way Less Sad, Bad Habits and Giant all suck. Part of Me is also bland.

[Leo ✔]

Just sent!

[Mayman]

Should have this in tomorrow night.

[SHOOTER]

I’m working on it!!

i'm gonna send, i'll defiantly get it before so no more time needed

[taylor]

Sadly don’t think I’m gonna get to this even if I pleaded for extra time 💔 I’d like to be tagged in reveals though!

[.indulgecountry]

I definitely intend to send for this but I could probably use another day or two. This weekend's been busy since I just closed on my new house and yesterday was my birthday.

Thank you! <3

[singingrulebritannia]

Enough people have told me through various outlets they would be less rushed with a minor extension, so I'll hand one out. New deadline is tomorrow, February 7, at the same time on the clock. This is all I'm providing, though--I don't wish to overlap reveals too much with Mainstream Rock.

happy belated, hope you had a great day!! :)

[Optical Apex]

Looks like Darling Nikki will not be the lowest Foo Fighters rank anymore.

Also, what do you think will be the lowest non-Alt year end song on here? (besides a particular song that will definitely be in the alt 2022 YE)

We Are the People, The Great Divide or Call Me a Fool.

[anthony11554]

idk much about chart genres and such but this was a great list, best year end specific 100 song rankdown i've done including general.

[312999]

I totally forgot about this Rankdown but I won’t be able to make it regardless. been a hectic busy week or 2. Sofia would have probably been my 1 again.

My 95 will likely make top 10, but for sure will at least go top 10

My 9 could go out early, it got tanked in Madness so I don't have high expectations for it, I'll guess somewhere in the 80s for it.

8. Where will you clear your bottom 10, and which rank will it be?

I could see my 91, my 93, and/or my 98 making it into the 60s

[DadJokes]

Guessing we'll see Bed Head, Be Sweet, The Adults Are Talking, Fire For You, Hush push for top 10. 

2. What shape is out bottom 10 going to take

Imagine Dragons, Lone Bellow, Martin Garrix, benny blanco

3. What songs will we agree on the most? (low SDs)

Never have any idea on the SD guesses...

See above...

5. Time for the AAA Exclusive Multiple Song Artists Lightning Round:

Bruce Springsteen - Chinatown or Ghosts
Clairo - Amoeba, Sofia, or Are You Bored Yet?
Dayglow - Can I Call You Tonight? or Close to You

Michigander - Better or Let Down
Nathaniel Rateliff - Redemption or Survivor
St. Vincent - Down or Pay Your Way in Pain
The Black Keys - Crawling Kingsnake or Poor Boy a Long Way from Home

6. What was your highest first listen?

Last.fm says there were only about 10 songs I had not listened to at all from this list. The highest of those 10 was 86. It wasn't a terrible song, but there are some strong songs in this list. Just kind of kept floating past me.

7. Where will you lose your first top 10, and which rank will it be?

My #10 will probably be out in the 80s. Seen a lot of "booorrring" comments about it here.

8. Where will you clear your bottom 10, and which rank will it be?

My #99 could very well float up into the top half. Maybe around 45ish? I just found it really boring. 

Bonus Q: Can I Call You Tonight, Visitor, Are You Bored Yet, and Identical were all previously ranked in 2020 Alt, finishing #1, #12, #21, and #43. As well, Break My Baby was in 2020 Active Rock, finishing #44. How will these songs fare here in comparison?

Can I Call You Tonight will finish high, but I think it won't make the top again. Probably some burn on it after finishing so high in 2020. 
Visitor will hit top 30s
Are You Bored Yet - top half.
Identical - probably around the same spot. 
Break my Baby - 60s.
