Post by rowellfarm490 on Sept 21, 2020 10:01:32 GMT -5
Welcome to the second Lost Hits of the Late 80s rankdown! For this rankdown, I've selected 50 songs that all peaked on the Hot 100 during the Late 80s time frame (i.e. after August 1986) for your ranking enjoyment. Unlike the Early and Mid 1980s rankdowns I knew going in which songs had already been covered in the rock chart rankdowns so I've steered clear from using them here. The quality may be slightly lower this time but I still feel like I've put together a list of songs that will be both fun and interesting to rank.
For more on the selection process check out the spoiler below:
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 50 (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 currently set for Sunday, November 8th at 9PM EST. Have fun and happy ranking!!!
