Well, one more wouldn't hurt, right? So this is my first rankdown, and it's a personal one - kind of. I don't really keep a personal chart anymore, I just keep a Spotify playlist that is max 30 songs and cycle songs out from it. Not every song is new and I do listen to a lot of music so for a song to enter my playlist, it must be an absolute ear worm.
While most of the songs will be newer, as I listen to new albums those songs can impact me. But this playlist spans about 5 months of music for me (or at least back to whenever the indie tournament ended.) The oldest song is from the 80s and the newest song is from last week.
But yeah, enough rambling. I'm gonna do the reveal over the course of a week, with hints and guesses and all that jazz. That should make a more enjoyable game and then I will open submissions.
It will be predominantly Alternative but there are some Rap, some Pop, and an EDM song in the mix.
If I left anything out let me know.

5. M83 - Sunday Night 1987? I may adjust the hint to say not only one hit but one charting song on Alt.

I submitted DLZ in the Indie Tournament, so that's why I thought it was 4. Didn't read the whole thing

Let's see...Turnover released an album this year, and "Turn My Head" is from their previous album, so let's run with that as a first guess.

Bad Suns - Swimming in the Moonlight 5.) Swimming in the Moonlight by Bad SunsThough we're moving quickly it feels I've waited all my life Until this moment I'd only dreamed of paradise For hours without a single word, we hold on tight If nothing's perfect, you and I are nothing tonight
