The 2022 Year-End Alternative Chart Rankdown (REVEALING)

[Steel Sponge]

Man, how did Glass Animals go from making songs like "Gooey" and "Pork Soda" to making some of the whitest music in recent times?

[singingrulebritannia]

"Viva Las Vengeance" would be a fine song if someone with a more pleasant voice than Brendon Urie had sung it.

Not to mention the fact that this kind of music gave them such a massive hit, it almost spent 100 weeks on the Hot 100. Tragedy.

MEDIABASE EXTRA

I love that we got rank stinky ass Brendan Urine instead of CHVRCHES.

CHVRCHES

Good Girls

Total Spins: 2423

Chart Peak: #43

Chart Weeks: 14

Feel free to share your thoughts on this song below!

[HamedM1 💔]

Good Girls would've been my #1 tbh lol, its my favorite off the last album.

[razorshark]

Mitski would have also made this rankdown better, thankfully you can go to the AAA rankdown and rank this.


EXTRA


Mitski
The Only Heartbreaker

Chart Peak: #33
Chart Weeks: 1

Feel free to share your thoughts on this song below!

[HamedM1 💔]

Would've been my #1 over Good Girls omfg

[razorshark]

This may be my favorite extra from this set.  beabadoobee only having one solo hit on Alt is sad to see.


EXTRA


beabadoobee
Talk


Chart Peak: #28
Chart Weeks: 1

Feel free to share your thoughts on this song below!

[razorshark]

I think this was in a game of Madness we did on Discord, yet another extra that would have made this list better.


EXTRA


Beach Bunny
Oxygen


Chart Peak: #31
Chart Weeks: 1

Feel free to share your thoughts on this song below!

[willapted33]

damn the extras this set have been great, all would challenge my top 20 fs

[razorshark]

This was nice and relaxing, I'd be nice to it if we ranked it.


EXTRA


Windser
Memory


Chart Peak: #29
Chart Weeks:1

Feel free to share your thoughts on this song below!

[HamedM1 💔]

Talk and Oxygen also would have been in my top 10

[razorshark]

I usually like Oliver Tree, like here for instance.  He's ridiculous but usually his music is fine.  This would have done well on my list at least.


EXTRA


Oliver Tree - Cowboys Don’t Cry


Chart Peak: #28
Chart Weeks: 1

Feel free to share your thoughts on this song below!

Looks like the rankings I gave for the two Muse songs might have been swapped?

I am too not awake to edit the graphics right now but yeah, of the stuff revealed right now the most important change is "compliance" moving up to 83 (thus, "grace" is now 84)

please check your hyphens and make sure half of them didn't autocorrect into em dashes next time lol

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

Mock #85. Grandson - Dirty
Totally geniuos you litteraly got me here. I remember putting this pretty high compared to most PULSERs. TBH it would have landed in my top 30 among this 2022's list of songs.

85. Mikly Chance - Colorado
remember when I could slot this guy in my bottom 10? I really hope Alt has hit so low in 2022 that it could only go up in quality for this 2023.

84. Muse - COMPLIANCE
I have to admit this is better than the crap album they called 'Simulation Theory', but I agree this band has fallen hard from thier PULSE pedestal.

83. Marcus Mumford - Grace
This could have been titled Guitar Strums -"Grace" for all I care. That's all I really heard.

82. Jelly Roll - Dead Man Walking
Vocal delivery was such a tune out. Lyrics were depressing. Music was a downer. You do the math. Also TANK Cleared! Could be one of my quickest yet.

81. Giovannie and the Hired Guns - Ramon Alaya



;nuff said

80. The Lumineers - Where We are
Jeez I couldn't even tank the Lumineers. man last year was badd.

79. Weezer - A Little Bit Of Love
Lame is the correct word, but"Happy Meal commercial music" hits the nail hard. and now a word from thier former producer.



78. Milky Chance - Synchronize
Ladies and gents thanks to the terrible 2022 songs on this list Milky Chance have now moved up the tier from abysmal to passable. in other words from bottom 10 worthy to 70's. Lucky them.

77. YUNGBLUD - fleabag
eh not terrible. Riding on some Nirvana melody. I'm just glad this isn't "dancing with Myself in a funeral"

76. Bring Me The Horizon - DIE4U
For a second I thought I ranked the wrong song. No way in hell I give that travesty a #65. More like #165. Either way this was also a terrible song. Wish I could have given it a lower rank.

75. Coldplay - People of The Pride.
Sounds like a BI-Polar project. Not a bad song per say, but I'm worried these guys are losing touch with reality.

74. Bastille - Shut Off The Lights
This reminds me of that YOUTUBE chanel. The titles always begin with WTF. You guys know it. I'm pretty sure we'll see one titled WTF happened to Bastille?

73. Palaye Royal - Broken
Yup. Title says it all.

72. Panic! At The Disco.
First off...I shed a tear. very sad news. I hope Brandon can still provide me with scream along wonderjams in some other form. I also still want a Demi Lovato/Brandon Urie scream fest someday. In other news F U C K yeah! I'm the highest ranker for this banger. Also my #30 song of 2022. Also you all suck.

71. Glass Animals - (long song title that I wish I could just copy and paste , but feel to lazy to open up another tab just to do that)
a huge step up from "Heat Wave". 'nuff said.

EXTRAS: Nice mostly all female jams

CHVRCHES - Good Girls
Not thier best, but I did chart it.

Mitski - The Only Heartbreaker
Not bad. I really like the semi RetrWave style it rides on.

beabadoobee - Talk
fantastic jam. I charted this one. Probably would have slotted in my top 10. At the least top 20 easily.

Beach Bunny - Oxygen
pretty cool. Easily my favorite from her.

Windser - Memory
nice. I prefer a little more umph for my male vocals, but I do like the music.

Oliver Tree - Cowboys Don’t Cry
Nice red head. 'nuff said. 


So who else would have rather ranked the EXTRAS:?

I was wondering how the hell this is out before the travesty that is 'My Universe' and I see now...these are the rankings for My Universe not People of the Pride. I most certainly didn't put this song in my bottom ten.

[Az Paynter]

Your rank might be incorrect. I sure as f**k wouldn't put BTS in my top 20.

[Optical Apex]

Wow, I thought people were gonna like People of the Pride...

I thought the Glass Animals song was fine.

[Optical Apex]

Wow, I thought people were gonna like People of the Pride...

I thought the Glass Animals song was fine.
Synchronize is the first non-Stolen Chance Milky Chance song to make it out of the bottom 20, and it deserved it.
Weezer's song is so forgettable, it was number 1 and I barely remember it.
Colorado wasn't terrible but the album cover was - wtf

Now I wonder how "The Sun Hasn't Left" will do, especially since "We Are Between" missed the top 50 last time.

[Optical Apex]

Why on earth did Gooey and Black Mamba do so badly in the early rankdowns? I feel like they would do far better in a redo

this doesn't go out to carno since his error is legitimately not his fault, but if anyone else has an error in their list because they didn't follow the rules then it's not getting fixed, go fuck yourself

[Gonza'90]

Let me guess, people did remove the "& BTS" from My Universe?

Speaking of Bangtan, this couls be their best Rankdown perfomance on Pulse, or I'm talking nonsense?

This same song snuck in at #50 in the 2021 Pop Radio rankdown, and I remember "Dynamite" nearly making the top half of the 2020 Hot 100 rankdown.
