So happy to be bringing this back, and especially excited to see how these results go!

Same! Hoping to get to work on this soon!

[Mayman]

I just sent my list. I always enjoy doing these each summer, glad we're doing it once again.

[zippy]

I might submit a list for this since it's only 20 songs and unlike other rankdowns there are multiple songs on here that I don't like.

[taylor is terrified]

My favorite part of the end of summer!

[Abbaschand]

I'm in. Expect a list by the end of the night. (My timezone)

EDIT: Whoops. Late by two [EDIT: THREE] nights. Don't worry, it's still coming!

FINAL EDIT: AND SENT!

[Music Fan]

I'm in!

[decadevia]

i've never fucking heard of any of these songs what the actual shit is up with what people listen to these days

[jasper0102]

I’m also in!

Ballot Update

We're already only 2 lists away from reaching 20!! With 18 lists in, let's do a ballot update :) These are the senders so far besides myself: rnb , PREDS PRIDE , Fire , lyhom , 🌺CountryLineDancer , emerald , Mayman , joshtheking , RoseColoredGirl , jasper0102 , Music Fan , 312999 , Darkest Hour , BlurryKyle , Groovy , chanman , and zippy .


- Currently 5 songs have #1 ranks, while 4 songs have #20 ranks. This is a bit less than last year's first ballot update when there were 7 songs with #1s and 7 with #20s.
- There are 2 ties at the moment; #7 and #8, as well as #11 and #12. On the other side of things, the largest gap between points is between #14 and #15 at the moment, with a difference of 45 points.
- Every song has multiple top 10 ranks, and the lowest high rank for a song is a #9.
- 5 songs have spent every movement in the top 10 so far.
- The top 2 highest SDs belong to #19 and #5. The lowest 2 SDs belong to #18 and #3.

Thank you to those of you that have sent so far!

[rnb]

so some of y’all really sat here and thought “last night in my top ten? yep sounds about right” without questioning yourself??

[ilikemilk]

Let's add a 6th song and a 5th song in the 1st and last spot! Idk if anyone will share my 1 or 20 but I hope my 1 can beat my 20 but Idk if I see it happening. Sent.

[wrip]

I can't do a tag tomorrow but we are at about 3 weeks remaining to send for this! I have 26 lists at the moment, which is just around where we were at this time last year.

Thank you to those of you who have sent already!


Me waiting for more lists to come in.

[razorshark]

Oh ya. Music happened this year. I'll work on this tomorrow me thinks

[kanubow]

ykw, I might just make this my first Pulse rankdown, it's pretty easy for me actually

[beyoncelover]

Sent my list! I enjoyed more than half of the songs, so I think this list was a step up from last year? Looking forward to how this goes!

[wrip]

Going to be posting the songs that just missed the SOTS list just like usual!

Honorable Mention:

Luke Combs - "Love You Anyway"

Estimated SOTS Ranking: #30
Hot 100 Peak: #15


We could've had another artist with multiple appearances on this list, joining Morgan Wallen, SZA, and Taylor Swift. This is honestly a nice song from Mr. Comb (I'll probably rank it pretty decently in the YE rankdown), though I'm fine with it missing for more variety on the list.

Thank you to Chart Essentials, and also to tanooki for this information!

Feel free to share your thoughts down below.

[Fire]

i like lya but it's not gonna be my favorite song from him to make the ye at all lol

[jasper0102]

Honestly I like this more than Fast Car. And the funny thing is that neither are among the top 3 best songs on Gettin Old.

[wrip]

Honorable Mention:

Bad Bunny - "WHERE SHE GOES"

Estimated SOTS Ranking: #29
Hot 100 Peak: #8


Here is another SOTS extra! I don't love this *as* much as some of his year end hits from the last 2 years, but it's still a really good banger that I plan to rank high. I'm mentally preparing myself though for the tanks this will get in the year end rd

Thank you to Chart Essentials, and also to tanooki for this information!

Feel free to share your thoughts down below.

[Fire]

where she goes would've been pretty damn high for me

[312999]

Where She Goes would have been my number 1. Banger and his best song. I have no idea where the heck it is on the hot 100 or if it is even on it as I haven’t been paying attention to the charts much lately, but if it does make the year end list, spoiler it will definitely be in my top 5.

[wrip]

Ballot Update

Since there are close to double the amount of lists from the last update, I figured another ballot update would be fun. Let's see what we have now!

- 3 new songs have picked up a #1 rank, bringing the number of songs with #1 ranks to 8. 9 songs have #20 ranks.
- There are no ties at the moment, but there are several songs that are really close in points. The 3 largest point gaps between songs are by 62, 52, and 48 points.
- Only 2 songs at this point do not have top 3 ranks.
- The top 3 highest SDs belong to #4, #19, and #8. The lowest 3 SDs belong to #3, #18, and #9.
- The worst closeness at the moment is a 7.3.

Thank you to those of you that have sent so far!

[jasper0102]

Where She Goes would’ve been like top 5 for me in this RD if it was on here.

[• Господин Умљеновић •]

I will do this. Please tag me not to forget. I know my top 3 and bottom 5.
Have to listen to others.

[wrip]

There are 2 weeks remaining to send for this!

I appreciate those of you who have sent for this!
