Tale of the Tape:
This was the top 2 for all but 3 movements. One song spent 22 movements at #1, the other spent 10.
These songs have a combined 56 top 10s, 48 being top 5s and 14 being #1s.
3 players have the potential to get a perfect top 2: Kanubow, Eliza, and myself.
One of these songs is the 8th lowest SD.

[Fire]

10. banger, cool to see it top 10 here
9. literally a song that as soon as you play everyone in the room knows they're in proximity with the hottest person there
8. this really grew on me when i paid attention to the lyrics. this pussy depressed
7. not her best but sza's floor for quality is pretty damn high so
6. it's still a shame that this barely missed the hot 100 ye meaning that jid's only official hit is a fucking imagine dragons song
5. great ass song but kendrick's other songs here are definitely better
4. smh if this was big foot you'd have all put it #1
3. woah, that was an upset i didn't see coming
2. damn, was really rooting for this to win. genuinely the most horrifying song i've ever heard (complimentary)
1. then again can't really complain if this is what wins instead, it really goes hard and i understand if mtg is just a song you respect more than like lol

[willapted33]

i don't have a strong preference between MTG & euphoria, nice to see the latter win here

the whole top 5 being diss tracks is funny but makes sense for 2024

Cool to see Euphoria get a win so that all three Kendrick diss tracks have a rankdown win. Thank you singingrulebritannia for hosting!

[khan]

Even if it was the opposite order of how I ranked them, that Kendrick top three is really the type of thing that's so perfect it would be cheesy if you wrote it. What a year for him.

Thanks Gates for hosting!

[wrip]

Really happy with these results! We had an excellent top quarter, the only song I was really bummed to see miss was BOA (it's a banger but I am not too surprised by its placement). Also was really nice to see a lot of songs improve their positions from the Hot 100 rd, like On My Mama making top 10 was so nice especially after it somehow missed top 30. Euphoria is an excellent winner; it's my highest solo Kendrick song so I'm happy (though I was fully expecting MTG to win)

Thanks for hosting Gates!
