This rankdown has 25 of my favorite songs that I've discovered for the first time this year, or songs that I didn't really hear a lot already or only knew part of but grew on me tremendously this year. By "this year", I've set the cutoff between November 2018 to October 2019. The eligibility for songs on this list are that they must not have been hits in 2018 or 2019.
You will have to guess songs based on hints. I'll start with the first 10, in random order, and will continue with the other 15 in the next couple of days. Sorry if these are too hard or easy because I'm not that great at this. Don't guess all of them so other people can guess.
Rules
Rank all 25 songs in the list; #1 is your favorite, #25 is your least favorite. Send your ranking to me as a personal message. DO NOT show your ranking to anyone else. You can use the preference revealer if you want, link here.
The deadline for now is TBA. It will be due in January at the earliest.
