- WHAT IS A RANKDOWN?
If you're familiar with chart ranking spaces, this rankdown will seem a little unusual to you. This form of rankdown is a chaotic-yet-organised method of creating a final ranking.
Players will each take turns nominating the worst song they can from the complete list, putting it into a pool of songs, and then cutting the worst song from the same pool. Players cannot cut their own nominations, so it's about evaluating the worst song from everyone else's nominations. When a song is cut, that is the song's final placement. This keeps going until only a few songs remain, in which they join the jury. All players send in their ranked order of the jury songs, and the average scores decide the final placements to crown a winner. Players also have access to other tools like saves to remove songs from the nomination pool and give them some immunity.
Due to a large number of signups, this rankdown was split into East, West & South. This is basically just 3 concurrent rankdowns with a different set of people but the same song list. The final placements for this video were averaged out from all rankdown results (hence why some jury songs might appear lower than non-jury songs).
- WHAT IS THIS SONG LIST?
This list is based off BBC Sound Of..., a poll ran by the BBC every year where judges choose the defining new artists of the year who have a promising future. For each artist, their most streamed song on Spotify was used that we've never had in a rankdown before (with a few exceptions).

- WHAT IS 2THONY?
2thony is a private Discord for my friends where we have been doing these rankdowns since 2020. If the admins don't know you, you can't join.
