Billboard's Top Songs of 1995
Deadline Date: December 13, 2020
1. Inverse Point system will be used (i.e. rank singles 1-107 - yes 107, there are multiple double-sided hits this year. I didn't count "I'll Be There For You"/"You're All I Need To Get By" or "One More Chance"/"Stay With Me" as those are more like mash-ups/remixes than distinctive songs. Trying my best to keep it consistent with these double-sides and I feel with adding them in it sort of makes up for the multiple duplicates from the Billboard 1994 list we will be re-ranking.
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. 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...
5. Please have your lists finalized before you send them to me. I will not be making adjustments if you decide to change a ranking later. Also that means NO INCOMPLETE LISTS.
6. If you send in your list super early, don't get upset if you have to wait a while for the reveal. I'll get to it when I get to it.
7. For now I'm tagging anyone who participated in the Billboard 1994 Rankdown.
