1) PM me (singingrulebritannia) the top 100 Triple A songs of 2021, all ranked to your preference. (e.g. if you like a song the most, rank it the highest and vice versa).
2) The points a song has will be totaled up based on an inverse point system. So if you rank a song #100, it gets 1 point, and if you rank a song #1, it gets 100 points. All the points from the participants will be totaled up.

4) ALL songs must be ranked.
5) To avoid posting with duplicate lines when you PM me, click BBCode below the text box before pasting your list.
6) Please utilize the formatting of the songs in this OP to make your rankings and don't make any alterations--failure to follow this rule will result in me either demanding you re-send, or rejecting your list.

[Butterflies & Hurricanes]

these AAA rankdowns always have about a dozen or more songs I’ve never heard…most are a bit on the dull side, but there’s always a couple of awesome discoveries hidden in there…looking forward to uncovering them again this year

[razorshark]

No lame jokes??? I'm out

[tim]

I ended up missing the one for last year and I for sure don't want to make that same mistake again. Also, here is a playlist for us non-Spotify users:

Apple Music Playlist - 2021 AAA Rankdown

[DJDaveMick69]

This is my 3rd fave radio format after Hot AC and Top 40.

Please tag me, singingrulebritannia.

I guess this is too late, but for Heading South you can rank either the single or album version. For Making a Fire you can rank either the album version or the Mark Ronson re-work since some stations played the latter. Rank the one you like more.

[singingrulebritannia]

Let's talk about the "New And Active" extras now. These songs did not make the Billboard chart or the Mediabase published top 50, but were tracked with at least 400 spins on the year. There are 86 such extras, so I devised some categories to sort them under in order to give the presentation of them more structure. First category is Hot 100 songs.

Artist	Song	Minimum Total Spins	Video	Hot 100 Peak
Ritt Momney	Put Your Records On	1599	link	#30 (Year-End #93)
Elle King & Miranda Lambert	Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home)	1231	link	#53
Olivia Rodrigo	Drivers License	1099	link	#1 for 8 weeks (Year-End #8)
Olivia Rodrigo	Deja Vu	1066	link	#3 (Year-End #13)
Taylor Swift	Willow	849	link	#1 for 1 week (Year-End #55)
AURORA	Runaway	662	link	Bubbling Under #1
Harry Styles	Golden	498	link	#57

[singingrulebritannia]
