Chris's Nuts

so as seen. Don't Panic seems to drop 5 places every 2 years (#20 in 2012?) Speed of Sound seems to go up at least 1 each time. I'll do 11-13 in a few hrs. There will be some disappointments....

and before it gets mentioned, yes i think the band can be blamed for Hardest Part charting so high thanks to its re-invention in the current tour. While i like the solo paino version better than then original, a dog is still a dog. :(

I will say because the request for getting lists was posted not just on the forum but on the front page of coldplaying we had a TON of first time posters (people who don't frequent the boards or post) give their lists. That may ultimately be the thing that disappoints people the most. The results I think are still accurate of the fanbase of the whole but may disappoint the diehards who were wanting non-singles and b-side to do better. In the top 50 I am showing the previous poll ranks for perspective. I will say that the Parachutes slide continues...... #56 Life is For Living 1,821 points, 44 votes #57 Sleeping Sun 1,807 points, 47 votes #58 How You See The World 1,800 points, 44 votes #59 The Goldrush 1,755 points, 47 votes #60 Twisted Logic 1,739 points, 48 votes

pfffft, sorry can't believe i missed that.... it's points then votes.... my bad :p

um sure, just don't surprised if everyone gets mad at you for ruining it for everyone else....

We're going to get a LOT of "why isn't this higher?" simply because we have such a larger song catalog now. #66 Animals 1,389 points, 38 votes #67 The Escapist 1,376 points, 36 votes #68 Proof 1,362 points, 39 votes #69 A Whisper 1,207 points, 36 votes #70 Only Superstition 1,180 points, 35 votes

Well let's get a few results out now; #71 Bigger Stonger 1,107 points, 36 votes #72 Careful Where You Stand 967 points, 24 votes #73 Such a Rush 811 points, 21 votes #74 A Spell A Rebel Yell 765 points, 22 votes #75 Easy To Please 716 points, 19 votes

Actually I have the results now but I need to check and recheck for errors. In some ways predictable and in other ways some good surprises. Still I won't be rolling this ALL out for a little bit still.

Here's where results will go http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3934536 **and can a mod either rename this polling thread as "(closed)" or simply lock it. I have all the data from it. **

thanks for being understanding, again i apologize if opportunities were missed to correct this (and there were) but I only popped by occasionally this last month so it wasn't as coordinated as it could have been. I am going to ask for a thread lock if possible on this and a link to the results thread so we can go the next round. I probably won't do this poll again until a little while after the next album but I will try to post my results for 2010 and include former rankings for the older songs. Results may not be TODAY as I have to double and triple check HUGE amounts of data here but I'll have all my data finished for me to work with at home this next week. Again Excel does an amazing job of doing this quickly so I'm cruising along right now. (5 hours in of course) :)
