Description yes i edited the image to move sixty idk how i forgot the entirety of about time
Potate! What is this nonsense! Huh??????
Calm down, so, this is really nerdy of me to do, but...
Given the Numberblocks are known to sing like there's no tomorrow, I figured it would be appropriate to make a tierlist of them based on their most fitting section in a SATB choir.
Note that this is based on a character's range, NOT a voice actor's! Don't sue me if you think David Holt's voice is too tenory for Big Tum to be a bass.

What is that? You probably know what a choir is; many people sing song. But "SATB" refers to a choir specifically split into four distinct sections, depending on largely the range of the singers.
The letters themselves stand for "Soprano Alto Tenor Bass" the four sections. The sections often can split themselves, for example, being soprano 1 and 2, meaning choirs can sometimes be split into 8 different harmonizing parts at once, or even more! I'm not sure if there's a formal term or way to differentiate a section's "1s" and "2s" but I just did it based off of my own choir's distinctions. That being, generally, 1s are higher than 2s. Also baritones are considered the in between of lower bass and tenor so there's that

A person's voice range mainly determines which section they're in, which correlates both to their highest and lowest comfortable note, and which notes are in their golden range (the notes they can sing the strongest.)

Sopranos have the highest voice range, often sing the melody in choral music, and are higher than altos. Both soprano and alto singers have feminine voices under normal circumstances.
One's placing as a soprano 1 is probably obvious given this description. Six and Ten especially seem to be natural sopranos more so than others as well, especially given Ten's preference of higher notes.

Altos typically can hit lower notes very well than sopranos. Though both sections have a lot of overlapping notes, altos notably sing lower notes more strongly, while sopranos can more strongly and more comfortably sing high notes. Though this isn't a necessity, alto voices are also less soft/floaty in their singing. They're "heavier" and it helps give their lower notes more power while lighter soprano voices are good for doing sweet-sounding high notes.
Five probably one of the best examples of an alto 2 I have seen in kids shows. Their range is actually the exact same as mine, and I'm very obviously an alto at least. Their voice direction has changed from earlier seasons to later ones, so I'm taking into account only their newer direction, think Hexagon Island. One Hundred's a good example too but she's kinda cheating because professional singer voice actor thing

Masculine tenor voices don't have as much 'oomph' that a deep masculine voice would have. You can get the idea of a lighter tenor voice by listening to Seven, honestly. He's a good example. While masculine voices generally are equally as good as hitting higher notes, tenors kinda just, sound better doing so and are also often more floaty, like how soprano voices are lighter/gentler for hitting their own high notes.
Most of David Holt's characters just. Inherently give off tenor energy I can't see them any other way.

Bass voices are what you'd expect. They sing the bassline of a song, whatever it looks like. They can sing very deep and can do so more powerfully than tenors. I did not rank a character as a bass 2 unless I knew for sure they could hit a certain low note decently well.
Eight is very borderline in regards to bass 2; I only put him there because one of his best singing moments was "Eight is greater than" in Peekaboo. Thirteen was a little better because of his singing in I Can Count to Twenty, even though he never gets to sing really low notes. He gives me the energy of someone assigned a section different from their best one and is now stuck with it

Cannot determine: I can't sort out the character's best section because they either have never sung, haven't sung much at all, or in the case of zero, are probably too young. You don't need to be an adult to seem to fit one section more than another, but in zero's case, their direction is obviously to sound very young and it makes it impossible to determine where they'd be. This argument could be made for One and Two as well, but it seems like to many their ages are ambiguous enough to not universally be seen as prepubescent.
It's not appropriate to sort sections for a character that has never sung, especially seeing the discrepancy between Twenty-One's talking and singing voice lmao
Also did not include terrible numbers or square teams except for Octonaughty because their voices are the same as the original number.
