Extra #23:
Fugees Featuring Bounty Killer - Killing Me Softly

Never heard of this version unless it’s a typo.

Another strong set of extras (because 1996) but “wannabe” I can do without ever hearing again.

[312999]

Done, this list had a lot of great songs, very high and some that I love a lot, but it also had a lot of lows as well, like songs that I do not like or care for. Idk why but I feel like my 1 will be out at like 37, but hopefully it goes higher, and isn't out before it. Idk what else to expect.

[Az Paynter]

Flying in under the radar but my submission has landed.

[maseruck]

I’ve submitted, good list for the most part.

[312999]

I love Fantasy and Gangstas Paradise but I also secretly hope that they are not the top 2, AGAIN, because they already won Rankdowns before and they are also from 1995 mainly too. I won't really complain if they win but I would rather have another winner, but at the same time, Idk what other song has a shot of winning, so lets see how this goes.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

I think my bottom 3 will be out pretty early, though likely not in the order I had them and not likely the first 3 to go but probably bottom 20ish?

Other than that, I hope my top 50 or so make the top 20. Anything else is unfair.

[wyckyd]

1. What songs do you think will make the top 10? Any guesses on the winner?
All 3 Mariah songs (or at least Fantasy & Always Be My Baby), Gangsta's Paradise, California Love, You Oughta Know, No Diggity... maybe Elevators?

2. What songs do you think will make the bottom 10? Any guesses on the last place?
every R. Kelly song... I'm not sure beyond that lol.

3. How far do you think your #1 will go?
top 10, at least

4. How far do you think your #108 will go?
It'll be first out (or at least bottom 3)

5. What songs do you think will have the highest SD's?
I'm not sure, idk which of these songs are truly divisive. uhhhh... Ironic or Doin' It?

6. What songs do you think will have the lowest SD's?
I Can't Sleep Baby, Fantasy, Gangsta's Paradise & California Love

[Fire]

1. What songs do you think will make the top 10? Any guesses on the winner?
gangsta's paradise, all 3 mariah songs, runaway, pony, 1979, tha crossroads, elevators. one of these could be swapped out for name or ilyaf maybe. i'd bet on fantasy or gangsta's paradise pulling out the win
2. What songs do you think will make the bottom 10? Any guesses on the last place?
last night, all three r kelly songs maybe? maybe og macarena could be here too, maybe anything, the earth the sun the rain, one of us(?), time(?), exhale(?). maybe last night or down low is last
3. How far do you think your #1 will go?
may or may not be one of the songs i mentioned as a winning contender lol
4. How far do you think your #108 will go?
hopefully bottom 10 if not last
5. What songs do you think will have the highest SD's?
one of us, bayside boys macarena, c'mon n ride it
6. What songs do you think will have the lowest SD's?
winners/losers
7. Any other predictions?
i might be completely off here lol

[lyhom]

3. How far do you think your #1 will go?

somwhere in the 20s, maybe? I feel like it's generally liked but this year is stacked enough that it might get lost in the shuffle

4. How far do you think your #108 will go?

I doubt that it's the general #108 but I can't see it being all that high at all

[Lukas]

Note: Starting this rankdown, I will be adding an indicator to the first movement to roughly indicate how the second submission changed the movements. Specifically:

• (++) means the song was boosted by 10+ spots.
• (+) means the song was boosted by 1-9 spots.
• (=) means the song did not receive any movement change.
• (-) means the song was dropped by 1-9 spots.
• (--) means the song was dropped by 10+ spots.
