About this ranking
Toxic and Crazy In Love are the presumptive top two, but the 1:1 win rate is where this table gets interesting: rock-era songs like Mr. Brightside and In the End often win individual matches against pop hits they would never beat in a full bracket.
Matchups to watch
Toxic vs Crazy In Love
Britney's masterpiece against Beyoncé's arrival as a solo superstar. Arguably the two best pop singles of the decade.
Lose Yourself vs In Da Club
Eminem's Oscar-winning anthem against 50 Cent's birthday song for the ages. Two rap records that ruled 2003.
Mr. Brightside vs Welcome to the Black Parade
The indie-rock singalong that never left the charts against the emo generation's national anthem.
How this ranking works
- Championship is the share of completed tournaments an entry won. It rewards songs that survive whole brackets.
- 1:1 win rate is the share of individual matches an entry won, including Quick Battle and Today's Battle votes. It rewards songs that beat whatever they are drawn against, even if they rarely take the crown.
- Stats are recomputed every hour from real votes only. Nothing is seeded or weighted.
