Everyone knows I'm a follower of pop radio in the US; I have the Pop Poster badges to prove it. So I wanted to take a deep dive into the format, reflecting and ranking down a wide selection of material that has been on the airwaves in a rankdown series exploring the hits and misses of pop radio, as determined by Mediabase. We start here with Volume 1 of (Not) Top 40, where I'm shining a spotlight on material that made the top 100 on Mediabase but never could quite make it into the top 50. Most of these are singles that never took off, but the odd album track would sometimes get attention enough to make a minor dent in the chart.
While the date range of songs in this game is somewhat spotty (I'm limited by what data was available to research on this forum, which is not the widest net) I researched enough material that instead of posting extras I have an entire second volume lined up after this, with change still to spare.
Every rankdown in this series will feature 40 songs (as per the format name being top 40, duh lol).
As usual, rank these songs from #1 to #40, with #1 being your favourite and #40 being your least favourite, and PM your lists to me (@azrieldrake). Due date is currently set at Friday, July 10th.
