Billboard 1993 Rankdown (Winner Revealed)

[Unhinged]

Billboard's Top Songs Of 1993

Tentative deadline date of June 27, 2020...

1. Inverse Point system will be used (i.e. rank singles 1-100). 

2. You must rank all the songs (if there's a remix you prefer, you can use that for your ranking instead, you don't have to specify whether you did). 

3. PM me your rankings. Please do not use numbers and please no spaces between songs. I will know the first song on your list is No. 1 and so on...it makes it easier for me when I spreadsheet it. 

4. Manage your time wisely please. Deadlines are deadlines. I will send plenty of reminders, don't worry...

Oh God... this will be even more complicated than 1991 it seems!
The year we have Toni Braxton !!!
Then Whitney, Janet, Michael, Mariah, En Vogue, SWV, Madonna...

[Az Paynter]

Nothing's particularly jumping out at me as my #1 yet, just running down the list - but I do see my #100. :sip2:

[Deleted]

I think I know my #1
As well as entire top 20

[weaver]

I'm inn! I can see a pretty clear top 10, and some that I know will be low...but the whole middle is a toss up. I was 15-16 at this time so it's like prime time for me...although a lot of the alternative rock I was starting to get into at the time isn't represented on the Hot 100...

[Deleted]

I'm gonna hold off for 1995 (the year my parents got married). Tag me in the reveals, though.

[Troy]

i really didn't like the majority of this list...this is when i finally gave up on pop music & went all Alternative, all the time

so many "S" artists: SWV, Shai, Silk, Shanice, SNOW, Snap!, Soul Asylum, Spin Doctors...yikes...other than Soul Asylum, these artists music has not aged well

[Deleted]

Just sent my list

I love my top 10 and top 20

From top 20 - 16 are female artists, 1 male solo and 3 male groups (I guess Prince & NPG is a group)

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

I see pop had not gone completely bald yet, so I decided to join in.

[aerodynamite]

SPOILER: Click to show

{Some CHR hits that would've been high on my list}

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

"Check Yo Self" - Ice Cube featuring Das EFX

There are two versions of this song. One has an 80's throwback beat in the background and one doesn't. Which do we rank? For me its a 15 or so slot difference depending on which one you want us to rank?

The first version you mentioned is called The Message Remix. The music video, radio stations both at the time and in the present day, and his Greatest Hits compilation all prefer it.

This falls under my No. 2 request:

“2. You must rank all the songs (if there's a remix you prefer, you can use that for your ranking instead, you don't have to specify whether you did).“

Another example is I’ll be using the “Human Nature” remix of “Right Here” by SWV. For those that want the original, that’s fine too.

Rank whichever version you want.

[Deleted]

Tasmin and Sleeping Satellite is a great song
Would end up in top 20 by me

Also... Terence Trent D'Arby & Des'Ree ▪ Delicate


I think in Europe we only had MJ version with SWV

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

i've ranked most of the stuff I'm gonna tank. Now I just need to put my crown songs in a proper Doc Indie Party Rock order.

[House Lannister]

Getting through these now. Being a bit harsher than I have been so be warned.

EDIT:  More time couldn't hurt. :)

[Unhinged]

Been on holidays this week and haven’t had time to devote to this so I've decided to extend the deadline to July 4^th!

Hopefully no more extentions

[CF15]

I really want to do this. I already know my top 3, and I want to give them the support they need.

[Juanca]

This past week I did good progress. I have about 2/3 ranked, but I want to relisten the other 1/3, as they are discoveries or less familiar songs, and I don’t wanna be unfair fo them. It’s a pretty good, eclectic year, better than I remembered.

[Unhinged]

Reminder that submissions are due this Saturday, July 4^th!
