Final Recap

[Deleted]

I'd like to do this. I should have enough time.

[Albie]

Oh my goodness. This will be difficult but fun!

[jtd Thee Stallion]

Awww yeah I pretty much know what my top 5 will be already

[boysilver400]

I'll see if I have time.

[CF15]

I will probably participate in this one and get rekt in it, lol.

[Willow Rinadoobee Breakfast]

Calling it. Britney will be #1...or Smooth will finally win something.

[Red]

This is going to be torturous compared to the 2000s rankdown. A lot more good/great songs, and a couple of stone cold classics.

oh my goodness I hope you're wrong on both accounts! Those ARE both great songs but there are so many other songs on here that better define the decade than those two that came in at the end of the decade. But we shall see!

[Deleted]

If my 99 and 100 end up being the final 2.... Will send later but i already know my bottom 2 and my top songs.

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

I'm going to play.

I'm also going to figure out why I didn't think to host this one lmao. Excited for it! I'm actually hoping my Top 100 of 1996 is finished by the time this starts so there's not any overlap therefore resulting in 90s oversaturation.

[Au$tin]

I still can't remember how One Sweet Day goes.

[weaver]

This will be super hard but count me in!

[Willow Rinadoobee Breakfast]

I'm not the host, but I still want to post an extra.

EXTRA: Backstreet Boys - I Want It That Way

WHY.WASNT.THIS.ON.HERE?!

[Deleted]

Willow Rinadoobee Breakfast cause it spent 8 weeks at 6.

[Az Paynter]

We should do an extra closeness ranking between this and the final result of the Danger Zone of this list. :kii:

Only question is how we handle the double A-sides, since those were combined in the DZ and they're separate here.

[willapted33]

I'm in

[#LisaRinna]

I'm in for this.

Playlist has been added above  :)

[ry4n]

Poor Torn, Don't Speak and Iris. The first two would probably be in my top 10. No Alanis either! The CHR decade-end list would be so different lol.

I've been falling behind on rankdowns, but I definitely want to do this one!

Yeah, those three songs were definitely robbed. I hope there is a 1990's airplay decade-end chart so that we can do a rankdown for that one, too. Alternately, is there any way to add the major airplay hits of the 1990's into this one? aerodynamite

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

I think that's what it was - I thought about doing the rankdown for the CHR Top 40 songs of the decade but I actually don't care for a lot of them so I thought it would be boring. lol I don't know if I've ever seen the Top 100 so that might have changed that up for me. I'd be game if we could actually combine both charts for a rankdown (even if it was this one - though if people arleady sent their lists in...) even if that meant it being a Top 134 rankdown or something.

[willapted33]

this list is much better than the airplay one

This is an official list from Billboard, so I don't think I should deviate from it. Besides, there are already over 100 songs; I can't really add more.

If we do a '90s airplay rankdown at some point, I'm up for that.

The thing is, though, the '90s airplay rankdown will probably have too much overlap with this list. Otherwise it'd be a great idea. If I'm mistaken and there isn't a lot of overlap then let's do it.
