I did, but those extra tags are only for when I start the rankdown each day, not for each individual reveal, like I said in the post. I tag people in these in case people want to get tagged for the rankdown reveals themselves.

#24 has 1 top 10 but no bottom 10's. The top 10, however, is a top 5.

Chevelle

"Jars"

Points: 255

SD: 13.15

Probably one of my favorites from Chevelle, I'm shocked to see this not make the top 20. This was a huge hit in 2009. I first heard it around 2010 when I started listening to the local active rock radio station.

#23 has a higher SD, with two top 10's and three bottom 10's. Here is the hint:

[Optical Apex]

23

Drake ft. Lil Wayne

"H.Y.F.R"

Points: 255

SD: 16.24

Did y'all know that before Drake was a rapper, he was a teen actor?

Also, my favorite line is probably "if you wave, then I will surf you"
This one was on the Hot 100 in 2012, but it didn't chart very high, unlike his bigger hits "The Motto" and "Take Care". It's good to see Az Paynter lose a bottom 10 after two Top 10 losses.

"Empire"

Points: 262

The type of song to play when you are about to go on a hike (I actually like the outdoors). Still good song, especially liked their lead single for that album (Crystals)

Points: 266

I like ska music alot, and I grew up with it. Also neat that American Idiot had the highest rank here, I think he did a ska rankdown a couple years back. Probably my favorite song from them, even was an extra in an early-2000's Alt rankdown IIRC.

That's correct! If I had more time these days, I'd host another ska rankdown, but I'm not sure if would gain enough interest.

I LOVE Less Than Jake. This isn't one of my favorite songs by them, but they're one of my favorite ska/punk bands from the 90's/00's.

[Optical Apex]

Welcome back, we will be revealing #20 through #11 today. 4 of you will lose your #1 song and 4 of you will clear your bottom 10. 

#20 has at least one person losing a bottom 5.
