With submissions now closed for my current rankdown, I wanted to give you guys time to get your minds right and your bodies ready for my next rankdown. Deadline is tentatively set for Sunday, August 6 has been extended to Friday, August 25, at 11:59 CST.
Because Mariah has such an extensive discography, I have divvied this up into three different rankdowns. The 'big' rankdown is a 100 song list that includes all of her non-#1 singles, several album tracks and b-sides, and selected remixes. There is also a mini-rankdown for her 18 #1 singles, and a mini-rankdown for her 12 studio albums. You may do any or all of the rankdowns. So if you're just a casual Mimi fan and want to rank the #1 songs but don't have time for the bigger list or you aren't that familiar with all her albums, that's totally fine! Just shoot me an 18-song rankdown and I'll accept it. Or if for some reason you're not at all interested in her #1s but you want to tackle the behemoth 100-song list, I'll accept that. (Of course, I highly encourage as much full participation as possible!)
With that said, you must rank ALL songs within your chosen rankdown(s). So if you if you choose to do the 100-song rankdown you must rank all 100 of those songs against each other. That is an all-or-nothing deal there. Also, you may not 'mix and match' - that is, you may not try to rank the 100 songs and the #1 songs together. They're two separate lists for two separate rankdowns.
Non-#1s rankdown: This is a 100-song list. Any song that received at least a limited pressing or airplay release in at least one country was considered a single for purposes of this rankdown, and all singles are included. For album tracks and b-sides I did my best to include all known 'fan favorites' and added some of my own personal choices. For remixes, the vocals had to be at least partially re-recorded. Note that the remixes, not their original counterparts, are what are under consideration here. Keep that in mind when putting your rankdown together.
Here is the list in easy-to-copy format. (Singles are in blue, album tracks/b-sides are in green, and remixes are in red. That is only to distinguish the 'type' of song it is)

I will use a 'straight' points system for all of these rankdowns - the #1 song in your list gets 1 point, the #2 song gets two points, etc. The songs/album with the fewest points will be ranked highest. Ties will be broken first by average rank, second by standard deviation, and third by the host's personal preference if the first two tiebreakers still don't do the trick.
LMK if you want to be removed from, or added, to the tag list
