[Sambalada]

Any idea to make this a rate-down instead?

[frenchfry]

I'll get this soon

[Willow Rinadoobee Breakfast]

Yay, an early 2007 Rankdown.

[Deleted]

07 was my fav year. I love a majority of the songs. I'll prob do bad on this rankdown but I don't care. I'll send list when I arrive home.

[Deleted]

I didn't follow music then. I was three or 4.

[YotamTS]

I only know around 10-15 of these songs but I still really want to participate. Will probably send my list around the deadline.

[Willow Rinadoobee Breakfast]

I actually knew ALL of these songs as a child (except B&R) since I LOVED mainstream music and MVs. I even remember LLAC.

XD, where are Huey and Mims now?

[woods]

I'm much more interested in recent years, but I'd like to participate in this one. I already know my #1.

[boysilver400]

I'll think about this, depends on if I have time.

[Deleted]

Y'all better not do the lean like a cholo song dirty. That's a massive guilty pleasure.

[matteeeb]

"We Takin' Over" better be top 20, that's DJ Khaled's best work.

I will participate though because I like quite a few of the songs I do know.

[Beno]

I'm 100% participating in this.

[Lordef†ones]

Wow, what an abysmal list. Go What I've Done I guess? I won't be participating in this.

[Deleted]

Sent. One of the hardest Rankdowns I ever did. I legit only hate the last 3 songs on my list. The 30 in this Rankdown for me could have easily been top 50 in 2016 Year End Rankdown if it made 2016 list. Thats how good 2007 is. I LOVE my like around Top 20 A lot on here, 21 to 30 I LIKE, 31 to 37 are Okay, Average, etc, and the last 3 are only ones I hate. (And I think all those 3 could do well.)

So yea, I may lose a lot of top songs early, but I wont mind since I love a lot of songs.

[crazyb]

Just submitted, great top 40!

[Willow Rinadoobee Breakfast]

Submitted. Surprisingly, a freakin' Hannah Montana song didn't hit my bottom 5.

[zaclord 🌈]

Definitely in for this

[Beno]

Will there be a Spotify playlist for this?

The playlist has been added above. 

[.indulgecountry]

Very excited for this one! 2007 was a pretty good year!

[beyoncelover]

Submitted my list!

[aerodynamite]

[Pale Shelter]

there aren't more than 10 good songs on this list...but I might participate anyway just to boost those 10

[fearlessarrow]

I'll try and do this. I'm familiar with a lot of the songs so it shouldn't take too much time. If you keep tagging me I'll eventually do it.

Fixed.

[Au$tin]

I love that there's a Hannah Montana song in this.

Definitely plan to participate!
