"Justin Bieber released several singles from sixth studio album 'Justice' prior to said album's eventual release; the fourth of these was 'Hold On', which dropped in early March of 2021 - two weeks before the album finally dropped. 'Hold On' features an interpolation of the international hit 'Somebody That I Used To Know' by Australian singer-songwriter Gotye and New Zealand singer Kimbra. The single was able to achieve a decently strong level of success prior to the album's release, when fifth single 'Peaches' undercut its performance (the latter would be a much bigger hit). Like Maneskin before it, 'Hold On' spent the game building toward its peak; but unlike 'Slave' it was able to remain in the top 10 once it entered the region, finishing the game at its high point."khan 4 woods 4 Leo ✔ 7 .indulgecountry 8 nathanalbright 14 samo🦕 14 ccarter1023 15 BB🌕 16 chanman 23 312999 24 razorshark 24 willapted33 26 Reis 28 Az Paynter 31 Gonza'90 32 Trilogy 36 1^∞ 46 Butter Fingers:Fire 50 {Songs Remaining} Ava Max - "My Head And My Heart" Becky Hill & David Guetta - "Remember" Dua Lipa - "Love Again" Galantis & David Guetta f/ Little Mix - "Heartbreak Anthem" Majid Jordan - "Waves Of Blue" Miley Cyrus f/ Dua Lipa - "Prisoner" Regard f/ Troye Sivan & Tate McRae - "You" Sam Smith - "Diamonds" THE PEANUT GALLERY:Abbaschand@imhappy259 𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿

"This collaboration between producers David Guetta and Galantis with girl group Little Mix first began life prior to the COVID pandemic, with an unreleased version featuring vocals from all four members before Jesy Nelson's departure. The song was re-worked and re-recorded as a trio, serving as the band's first new music following the completion of their 'Confetti' album era. The song's release was not without incident, as it leaked prior to being officially announced. In the end the leak did not hurt the song's performance as it became Galantis' highest UK showing and charted in the UK top 10 simultaneously with 'Confetti', replicating a feat Little Mix previously achieved in 2016 with the first two singles from the 'Glory Days' era. Aside from one very early blip this song was a top 10 mainstay, boasting the second-highest bottom ranking of the game with zero bottom 20 rankings."Leo ✔ 3 Fire 3 ccarter1023 6 samo🦕 11 razorshark 11 Az Paynter 12 khan 18 .indulgecountry 18 BB🌕 18 chanman 18 1^∞ 18 nathanalbright 20 Trilogy 24 Gonza'90 28 willapted33 29 Not Broken, Just Bruised:woods 33 312999 36 Reis 39 {Songs Remaining} Ava Max - "My Head And My Heart" Becky Hill & David Guetta - "Remember" Dua Lipa - "Love Again" Majid Jordan - "Waves Of Blue" Miley Cyrus f/ Dua Lipa - "Prisoner" Regard f/ Troye Sivan & Tate McRae - "You" Sam Smith - "Diamonds" THE PEANUT GALLERY:Abbaschand@imhappy259 𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿

"Becky Hill found her start on the debut season of The Voice UK, choosing Jessie J as her mentor. After finishing in the top 8, Becky went on to a highly successful career as a dance vocalist, frequently collaborating with an ever-growing list of EDM producers. This particular collaboration with French producer David Guetta served as the fourth single from Becky's debut album 'Only Honest On The Weekend', becoming her fourth UK top 10 and finding additional success across Europe, building up her profile as a mainstream hitmaker. This is the highest of David Guetta's placements in the game, keeping quite close to the top 5 until the end of submissions where it settled into its final placement."Leo ✔ 1ccarter1023 7samo🦕 7khan 7Trilogy 8 BB🌕 9 nathanalbright 10 Fire 11 .indulgecountry 11 Gonza'90 16 willapted33 16 Az Paynter 17 chanman 21 312999 25 1^∞ 33 woods 37 Reis 46 Better Best Forgetten:razorshark 51 {Songs Remaining} Ava Max - "My Head And My Heart" Dua Lipa - "Love Again" Majid Jordan - "Waves Of Blue" Miley Cyrus f/ Dua Lipa - "Prisoner" Regard f/ Troye Sivan & Tate McRae - "You" Sam Smith - "Diamonds" THE PEANUT GALLERY:Abbaschand@imhappy259 𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿

"American singer Ava Max finally made her commercial breakthrough in 2019, and in 2020 she released her debut album 'Heaven & Hell'. Ava had intended 'My Head & My Heart' as the lead single from a deluxe re-release of the album, which never came to fruition. Instead, the single was merely tacked onto the digital release of the album while follow-up single 'Everytime I Cry' went unattached to any project. 'My Head & My Heart' interpolates the 90's hit 'Around The World (La La La La La)' by ATC, which itself is based on the Russian-language song 'Pesenka' by Ruki Vverh. This song was a top 10 staple all throughout the submission period, looking like a solid contender for a top 5 finish that in the end didn't quite pan out."312999 2 samo🦕 5 .indulgecountry 5 Az Paynter 6Fire 8 Leo ✔ 12 ccarter1023 13 Gonza'90 14 woods 14 khan 16 BB🌕 17 Trilogy 20 nathanalbright 21 Reis 31 razorshark 32 chanman 33 willapted33 38 Minor Headache, Bit Of Heartburn:1^∞ 42 {Songs Remaining} Dua Lipa - "Love Again" Majid Jordan - "Waves Of Blue" Miley Cyrus f/ Dua Lipa - "Prisoner" Regard f/ Troye Sivan & Tate McRae - "You" Sam Smith - "Diamonds" THE PEANUT GALLERY:Abbaschand@imhappy259 𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿

"Sam Smith released 'Diamonds' as the second single from their third album 'Love Goes' in September of 2020, after the album was postponed and re-tooled in the wake of the COVID pandemic (its original title 'To Die For' was deemed insensitive for the time). A string of singles from the previous iteration of the album were cut from the main album but instead served as bonus tracks. While the single never got to shine the way it deserved on charts around the world, it did eventually find its lustre in this game with more than half of submissions giving Sam a top 10 ranking; aiding in its steady climb to finish within the top 5."samo🦕 3 khan 3 1^∞ 3 Az Paynter 5razorshark 5woods 6 BB🌕 6 .indulgecountry 7 willapted33 7 Gonza'90 9 312999 13 Leo ✔ 14 nathanalbright 15 Trilogy 27 chanman 39 Reis 41 Fire 42 A Lump Of Coal:ccarter1023 56 {Songs Remaining} Dua Lipa - "Love Again" Majid Jordan - "Waves Of Blue" Miley Cyrus f/ Dua Lipa - "Prisoner" Regard f/ Troye Sivan & Tate McRae - "You" THE PEANUT GALLERY:Abbaschand@imhappy259 𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿

"Canadian R&B duo Majid Jordan are best known internationally for their feature on the 2013 Drake hit 'Hold On, We're Going Home', but they stood on their own for the first time eight years later with their 2021 single 'Waves Of Blue'. Not a major hit in its own right, it did at least chart in the top 40 on the Canadian Hot 100; it also achieved some minor attention on US radio. Following a strong performance in a previous Madness rankdown tournament it comes as little surprise to see this song replicate its success here; riding the top 10 for the entirety of the game with the majority of rankings placing it in their top 20."woods 1Trilogy 3 BB🌕 4Gonza'90 4willapted33 6 nathanalbright 6 Fire 9 samo🦕 10 1^∞ 12 .indulgecountry 12 312999 12 Az Paynter 14 razorshark 16 khan 21 Reis 22 ccarter1023 28 chanman 36 One Big Red Flag:Leo ✔ 58 {Songs Remaining} Dua Lipa - "Love Again" Miley Cyrus f/ Dua Lipa - "Prisoner" Regard f/ Troye Sivan & Tate McRae - "You" THE PEANUT GALLERY:Abbaschand@imhappy259 𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿

"Kosovo-Albanian DJ Regard built his profile with 2019's 'Ride It' and 2020's 'Secrets', and he further built on this in 2021 with 'You'. This collaboration with Australian singer Troye Sivan and Canadian singer Tate McRae was a promotional challenge for the three artists, with Troye grounded by Melbourne's lockdowns while Tate was in LA and Regard was in Kosovo. Live performances as well as the song's music video had to be recorded from three different locations as a consequence of the separation. Overall the song did not light many charts on fire in spite of each artist's prior successes (though it did give Troye his first US pop radio top 10, at least on Mediabase). This is the first song to spend any time at #1 during the submissions period, and barring one list it was a top 3 mainstay."nathanalbright 1Fire 1Gonza'90 3Az Paynter 3willapted33 4 BB🌕 7 Reis 9 1^∞ 11 razorshark 12 woods 13 Trilogy 13 samo🦕 17 Leo ✔ 20 312999 22 khan 28 chanman 28 .indulgecountry 30 It's Not You:ccarter1023 42 {Songs Remaining} Dua Lipa - "Love Again" Miley Cyrus f/ Dua Lipa - "Prisoner" THE PEANUT GALLERY:Abbaschand@imhappy259 𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿

"American singer Miley Cyrus and British-Albanian singer Dua Lipa first confirmed a collaboration in late 2019, but in May of 2020 Dua revealed that their initial collaboration had been scrapped. They instead returned to the drawing board and 'Prisoner' was born of that second attempt. It was released as the second single from Miley's seventh album 'Plastic Hearts' in November of 2020 just prior to the album's release. Its relative underperformance was at the time a headscratcher, in light of Dua's massively successful 'Future Nostalgia' era but it later came to light that due to Miley ending her contract with RCA with 'Plastic Hearts' the label was not investing much time or effort to support it. Despite its strong support throughout the game and the highest bottom ranking aiding its distinction of the lowest SD of the game, it was not initially a dominating force only finding stability later in the submission period to eventually give Dua both top 2 positions."nathanalbright 3 BB🌕 3 .indulgecountry 3 Gonza'90 7 1^∞ 7 woods 7 Az Paynter 8 razorshark 8 samo🦕 8 Reis 11 Trilogy 15 312999 15 chanman 15 willapted33 19 ccarter1023 19 Leo ✔ 26 Appeal Not Yet Filed:Fire 31 khan 33 THE PEANUT GALLERY:Abbaschand@imhappy259 𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿

"After the incredible longevity of 'Levitating', Dua Lipa released 'Love Again' as the 5th US single (and 8th overall) from 'Future Nostalgia'. It started its life as a single in France, released to the region in March of 2021 with its widespread release following in June. The song is notable for its sample of 'My Woman' by Al Bowlly, that same sample already being well-known for its use in the White Town single 'Your Woman'. Dua has described 'Love Again' as her favourite song from the album. You would be right to have assumed a Dua victory was a foregone conclusion, as one she hit the top spot (one of only two songs to spend any time in the pole position) she ran away with it and would not let it go. Indeed, she has the most #1 rankings of any song in the game with four top billings."BB🌕 1.indulgecountry 1Az Paynter 1samo🦕 1nathanalbright 2 Gonza'90 2 woods 2 Trilogy 2 312999 3 Fire 5 willapted33 8 ccarter1023 10 Leo ✔ 13 razorshark 20 khan 22 Reis 27 chanman 30 Love Wins, But You Tried:1^∞ 49 THE PEANUT GALLERY:Abbaschand@imhappy259 𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿

Aw man with Diamonds and Remember and Hold On making top ten I thought I was doing super well but then the top two was my 22 vs 33. I love Dua Lipa but she's got far too many overrated songs like these two.
Still one of my favorite rankdonws I've participated in on Pulse though so I'm glad to see it finally get wrapped up!
