I'm back! Now my exams are over, it's time to continue the rankdown series for my favourite 2022 albums. Up next is Foxes' third studio album (and first in six years), The Kick!
For every album in this series (minus one), I'm bringing on someone to remind me to do things for this co-host, and this time it's the iconic reputainbow!
To take part in the rankdown, just rank the album's songs from #1 (your favourite) to #12 (least favourite) and send your list in a PM to me AND rep (@ samosaurus1 and @ reputainbow).
Here's the tracklist: 1. Sister Ray 2. The Kick 3. Growing on Me 4. Potential 5. Dance Magic 6. Body Suit 7. Absolute 8. Two Kinds Of Silence 9. Forgive Yourself 10. Gentleman 11. Sky Love 12. Too Much Colour
And here it is unnumbered, so it's easier to make your list:
Sister Ray The Kick Growing on Me Potential Dance Magic Body Suit Absolute Two Kinds Of Silence Forgive Yourself Gentleman Sky Love Too Much Colour
It's not a long album, so I'll keep the deadline within the month for now and have this due on the 30th June, but it's not final.Pop tag list: Frequent thread posters/top listeners:

it's been a while... (less than) 2 weeks remaining! We didn't mean to forget about this for quite this long, but we've already got a good number of lists to start with, so we'll just move the deadline forward a couple weeks; reminders should be more frequent from now on!
1. samo🦕 2. reputainbow 3. HamedM1 💔 4. Fancy 5. joshtheking 6. American Idiot
- Three different songs have hit #1 so far, two of which are the current top 2.
- Conversely, we've only had one song ever be in last place, and it's eight points behind #11, with no ranks outside the bottom 3 so far.
- Two songs have gotten a second #1 rank already, but neither are winning.
- Similarly there are two songs with a pair of #12s, and they're currently the bottom 2.
- The highest SD by far goes to #6, which is the only song with at least one first-place and last-place rank.
- There are two ties at the moment, between #2/3 and #7/8.

I have been thinking about submitting a list for this. I've already ranked "Two Kinds Of Silence" in wrip's and Hamed's personal rankdowns so I want to see if the other tracks are as enjoyable.

6 days remaining! There's now less than a week until the deadline, but reveals likely won't start until rep's done with the 2016 RYM rankdown (so in reality you'll have until around the 17th, at least).

Not gonna lie. I came here expecting to rank INXS's album of the same name.

40 hours remaining! We were planning to close this tomorrow, but we won't start reveals at least until 2016 RYM has finished, and I'd love to have at least 15 lists for this, so this likely won't be closing tomorrow.

5 days remaining (final deadline is here!) Now that neither of us have something coming up soon, we're happy to close submissions on Wednesday, so make sure to get started on your list if you still plan on sending!
11. nathanalbright 12. zippy 13. Leo ✔
- Things remain close between the top 2, with only three points separating them at the moment.
- There's been no change at the bottom of the list; #12 is still trailing behind everything else (by fifteen points).
- Of the seven new #1s since the last update, four have gone to the same song (which is one of the top 2). The other three songs with new #1s are all also in the top half.
- One song has gotten far more #12s than anything else since the last update, and (surprise!) it's the song in last place.
- One song is still the most polarising by far, and it's still hovering around the middle of the ranks.
- The race for the lowest SD isn't that close either, with the song in the top 2 that didn't get a ton of recent #1s taking it.[li]There are no ties at the moment.

2 days remaining (i swear this is still happening) Me and rep have both been busy/waiting for other games to finish, but we should now be able to close this! We're going to give it one last extension to the 28th for anyone who still wants to send (Juan Carlos?), with reveals hopefully starting soon after.

12ish hours remaining (final reminder!) We'll be closing this at the end of the day so we can get the graphics ready, then reveals will start!

Submissions are closed With lists in from everyone who's shown interest, we're very happy to finally close this and start working on reveals, which should be coming soon!
16. Juan Carlos
- The top 2 have both spent multiple lists at #1 (with both being in the lead for some time near the end of submissions), and they've finished with only four points separating them.
- #12 has ended up 19 points behind #11, though it did come close to escaping last place at one point.
- Four songs have finished with multiple #1s, and another three have one.
- Only five songs have any #12s; all but one have two or more.
- #7-9 have the three highest SDs of the game.
- One of the top two has by far the lowest SD, with #6 and #10 being the least divisive amongst the rest of the album.[li]We've ended the game with no ties; the closest to tying are #6 and #7, which are only a single point apart.
And before we start reveals, here are some questions about the upcoming results? 1. Which songs do you think could win/make the top 5? 2. Which songs will be #12/make the bottom 5? 3. Which songs do you expect to have the highest SDs (most polarising)? 4. Which songs do you expect to have the lowest SDs (least polarising)? 5. How far do you expect your #1 to go? 6. Which of the singles (Sister Ray, Dance Magic, Sky Love, Absolute, Body Suit, Growing on Me) do you see leaving first? 7. Any other predictions?

Too Much Colour isn’t bad, it just feels like a somewhat underwhelming ending to the album. It sounds like it’s building up to a climax but then fades out instead.
