So I've decided to start a decade-end based off of what Billboard does with their decade-end lists.
The next update I’ll do is for the
first half of the decade, and this will be a
top 100.
I completed it. These are the top 100 songs for the first half of the decade. Looking ahead, the cutoff for the final list will probably somewhere around #50. The next update I'm planning on doing would be for the first three-quarters of the decade (till June 2017), so look ahead to that.
Same rules as last post. There's only one song in the top 100 that was still charting at the end of the first half of the decade so I've included more Bubbling Under songs to make up for it.
