Welcome to the third and final Lost Hits of the Mid 1980s rankdown! Much like the Late 80s III rankdown before it this rankdown features 50 noteworthy songs that peaked on the Hot 100 during the Mid 80s time frame (i.e. between April 1983 and August 1986). The first 10 songs on this list peaked during 1983, the next 15 during 1984, followed by 15 more from 1985, and with the final 10 being from 1986. This is the same format as the second Mid 80s rankdown. Whereas the songs in part II had a ranking in the top 100 based on chart points, the songs in this rankdown had a ranking of 101 or greater for their respective year.
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 final due date is set for Sunday, August 29th at 10PM EST. Have fun and happy ranking!!!
