One of my music soft spots is what I like to call "boisterous funk", and James Brown was the master of boisterous funk.

Gotye doesn’t sound like an artist that could make a hit song that’s received over 1.2 billion plays on Spotify.

There was a point where this song was a top ten contender, and I definitely preferred that...but there was also a point where this was in danger of missing out on the top half entirely, so I guess I'll take a middle ground.
Congrats on clearing your bottom tens, @trilogy and BB🌕.

Natalia Lafourcade takes a famous Argentine zamba song and promptly turns it into a nine minute winding beauty that continues to impress me every time I listen to it.

I must say “Alfonsina y el mar” certainly impressed me considering that I hardly ever listen to that type of music, while City Pop is one of those genres that has similarities to other music that I enjoy.

I was torn on which of the two most obvious Strawberry Switchblade songs to include, because I was definitely using a Strawberry Switchblade song. I probably like "Trees and Flowers" a *little* more, to be honest, but this is great, too.
Congrats on clearing your bottom ten, aerodynamite.

“8 Steps to Perfection” is one of the songs in this rankdown that I didn’t enjoy as much as I wanted to, still pretty good but slightly forgettable compared to the other hip-hop tracks.

Okay, "The Moth" not even making the top half was the most surprising result of this rankdown to me, but this missing the top ten is fairly surprising, as well. I thought this was a potential #1 contender, let alone top ten.
If my next personal rankdown is what I think it's going to be, we're going to see this band again really soon...
Miss you and hope you're doing okay, shazam.

“Moonshake” is a simple yet brilliant song that’s easy to enjoy, I just wish CAN made a longer version of it.

Wouldn't mind "Rabbit In Your Headlights" in the top 2, but hopefully the other song is something better than "Confide In Me".

Hey, quick update: Work has been crushing as of late, and it really took its toll on me today, so I think I'm just going to wait to reveal the top ten until tomorrow. Don't worry, it is definitely coming tomorrow, but I need to rest and recover. Heck, I may even reveal a little earlier than normal tomorrow.
See you all then.

Upsetting. But I won’t give up [on loving this song]. My [Pulse] career was built on failures and not following the mold. I won’t stop [ranking Natalia Lafourcade high on my lists]. I never have and never will.

Alright, so, all of you have participated in one of my rankdowns before, so you should know how the previews for the top ten are going to work: Three stats for the song in question, as well as a factoid that may or may not only interest me.
Let's do this.
#10 PREVIEW
Stats Top Fives: 4 Standard Deviation: One of the Ten Highest Highest Point: #1
This song is just four points ahead of #11.
