Thank you! This one I will 100 percent do! I think that some people could know some songs that I will have high due to other Rankdowns. Billie Jean will probably win again but oh well. I will still have it high but it probably won't be in my top 20.

So did you receive tiduraes' blessing to do this, or are we just not waiting anymore? Regardless, I can just forward you my list that I already did.

Didn’t get their blessing but they’ve been MIA for a while now and I’m tired of waiting. lol. I always planned to do this after 1984 and now I can! :) |

Already have my list ready from several months ago, but I might need to make some changes.
Glad you're doing this one instead of '88. I've been contemplating a rankdown hiatus for quite a while.

Yep im definitely doing this. From what i've seen. 1983 may just be one of the best year end lists i've ever seen. This is a must do.

Billboard's Top Songs of 1983
Seeing as though this is a big rankdown with 100 songs I am going to make the deadline for this October 6, 2018. I realise the date is close but a lot of you already have lists created for this rankdown so if you submitted before and still want to do this rankdown please resubmit your lists to me...
Once this reveal is finished I will move onto 1988...
1. Inverse Point system will be used (i.e. rank singles 1-100).
2. You must rank all the singles (if there's a remix you prefer, you can use that for your ranking instead, you don't have to specify whether you did)
3. PM me your rankings. Please do not use numbers. I will know the first song on your list is No. 1 and so on...it makes it easier for me when I spreadsheet it.
4. Submissions will be due by October 6, 2018.
5. Manage your time wisely please. Deadlines are deadlines. I will send plenty of reminders, don't worry...

I'll give my list another look-see before sending it in to you some time next week hopefully. :)
I don't think I thanked you yet for doing this one next, so...thank you! :kii:
I'm probably gonna take it easy on rankdowns for a while with a couple of exceptions.

DONE! Surprise! Billie Jean ended up making my top 10 after all. I do NOT expect any of my top 10s out before the top 30, and if any of them do not make the top 30, then something is wrong with you guys. Heck I will even go ahead and say top 20 instead. I want to see all of my top 10s there. One classic and iconic song on this list that is a contender to be a top 5 BARELY made my top half. It's good but I find it a little overrated. I really hope that doesn't win or be 2nd at least, since I am sure that Billie Jean will run away with the win. Other than that, I liked most of the list, only didn't like my bottom 5 or so.
