That concludes the third and final Lost Hits of the Mid 1980s rankdown. Thanks again to all participants! I hope you had fun listening to and ranking this list of songs. This list was definitely among my favorites that I've put together for these Lost Hits rankdowns.
As for the results, more than ever I had no idea which song was going to win this. But with all of us ranking "Give Me Tonight" top half, a winner emerged, albeit a surprising one at that. Shannon is generally regarded as a one-hit wonder with "Let the Music Play" but now another song of hers has won a Pulse rankdown!
At this point, I'm not sure which Lost Hits rankdown will be next in the series. I haven't actually finalized any other song lists so far. I will eventually get another rankdown up and running though it likely won't be for a little while.
