The Superior 40: 11/20/05

[mtm4319]

I started compiling this chart earlier tonight and mentioned that fact to Ethan (Mega248), who said he was planning on doing one himself when the number of reporters got past 12. So I'm not going to usurp him or anything, but I still wanted to see how the chart would look. I counted anyone who posted a chart in the 11/14/05 - 11/20/05 thread, or either of the two weeks previous. There were 10 reporters; I went to 40 positions because each song in the top 40 had at least 3 reporters.

I also counted all 100 positions of the reporters who went down that far (4 went past 50 positions).

[a Nick O!]

Cool!

I'm amazed that HIM are at #1; I didn't think the song was that popular among us.

I represent and (co-)lead on:
HIM - Rip Out the Wings of a Butterfly
Madonna - Hung Up
Nine Inch Nails - Only
My Chemical Romance - The Ghost of You
System of a Down - Hypnotize
System of a Down - Question!
Kelly Clarkson - Because of You
Coldplay - Fix You
Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country
Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends
311 - Don't Tread On Me
30 Seconds to Mars - Attack
Green Day - Jesus of Suburbia
Korn - Twisted Transistor
dredg - Bug Eyes
Mudvayne - Forget to Remember

Also surprised to see Straylight Run, and quite frankly, Mudvayne on here.

I did this like five times ever on Pulse, but what the heck.

Leads/Co-leads:

6. Alanis Morissette - Crazy
7. Hot Hot Heat - Middle of Nowhere
10. Goo Goo Dolls - Better Days

and thanks for compiling that Matt!

[mtm4319]

The songs I lead on are "The Ghost of You" (#1), "Dance, Dance" (#2), "Fix You" (#6), "Over My Head" (#8), "We Don't Care Anymore" (#14), and "Talk" (#31). The only song I haven't heard is "Bug Eyes".

[czarina]

lmao. This list is so weird! I am charting or used to chart 29 or 30 of those songs.
Thanks for making this

[mtm4319]

One thing I noticed is that the dropoff from position #40 on a 40-position chart to the (imaginary) #41 position is 61 points. HIM was #40 on Amy (czarina)'s 40-spot chart that counted for this, and it were off her chart, HIM would have been #3. However, even counting only the first 50 positions of everyone's charts, HIM would still have been #1.

[halo19]

Lots of (co)-leads, actually:

Depeche Mode - Precious (#4)
System of a Down - Question! (#2)
Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To? (#15)
Weezer - Perfect Situation (#1)
30 Seconds to Mars - Attack (#10)
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc. (#12)
Queens of the Stone Age - Burn the Witch (#9)

[The Duality Of Man]

Wow, I must say I like this chart much more than the massive one put together over at pulse.

H.I.M. would have never had a chance on that one.

[crash46]

Agreed. 1st Prize! [/Mr. Burns]

I don't know what my leads would be, since I've fallen behind again (although not 7 weeks behind like I have been twice this year). The only ones I haven't heard are "Because Of You" and "Better Days".

[radical347]

I don't lead on any... But I'm charting like 7 of these 40, which is probably more than I was on the entire Pulse 100. Thanks Matt for doing this!

Jesus! How could you still not have heard "Because of You" at this point?!

[crash46]

I dunno...I don't have a radio now and all the stores I visit/work in that would play Kelly's songs are all still hung up on "Behind These Hazel Eyes" and "Since You Been Gone". I'm sure I'll be hearing it a 1000 times a week by the time her 10th single off of Breakaway hits the radio.

[Jeffster]

Wow, I've heard a grand total of four of those songs. I've never heard any of the top 14! If I ever get my chart up to date, I'll post mine, hopefully not too long from now.
