Yearly NCS Rankings
Pentagon ranks every NCS song released in a specific year, instead of a specific month. These videos take lots of time and are his biggest videos to date. This series has replaced the triple-monthly ranking series that pentagon used to make earlier

Ranking Your Submissions
Pentagon has also recently began to rank songs people submit to him. There are, however, some limitations. Just like LGalaxy's RYS, they are not allowed to send NCS songs, Monstercat songs, heavily copyrighted songs, or songs already in a previous RYS.

Ranking EP/LPs with many people
pentagon also used to rank EPs outside NCS and Monstercat although he discontinued the series a year ago. He recently re-instated the series and now makes forms on certain EPs/LPs and promotes them on discord to get more submissions.

Controversy
During his first year of ranking, pentagon received controversy from his placements of the NCS songs in his rankings. He especially receives controversy from placing ROY KNOX songs too low. However, these rankings were opinion-based. These ranking videos have made ROY not like music rankings at all, and to this day probably still doesn't like rankings, even if pentagon and others have recently started to rank his songs high.

The controversy died down during his 2nd year of ranking and the people that criticized him grew up and are no longer hostile to him.
