Welcome to part 3 of my 80s mini rankdown series: Lost Hits of the Late 80s! This is a 3 part series made up of songs that just missed out on making the Billboard Hot 100 year-end lists during the 1980s. This rankdown will cover the final third of the 80s and songs that peaked from August 1986 through the end of the decade.
The song list has 100 songs which were determined by the number of inverse points each song earned based on its entire chart run. Within this thread I will also be posting my findings of all the songs that charted for 1986, 1987, 1988, and 1989. They will be added to the 1980s song database I've been putting together which you can take a look at here.
If you've participated in any other rankdowns you know how these work. Just listen to all of the songs and rank them from 1 (best) to 100 (worst) based on your personal preference. PM me your list, and I will compile everyone's rankings and present the results. The due date is set for Sunday, January 5th at 10PM EST. Have fun and happy ranking!!!
