50. Timmy T - One More TryI always liked this one. It falls in the Freestyle realm since Timmy T. was a freestyle artist and it sounds a lot like Stevie B. "Spring Love". Another song that for unexplained reasons I feel the lot of you would tank? If I had to choose a Timmy T. song to boost it will always be "Time After Time". This would easily have been top 15 for me. Beautiful lyrics. Also Timmy T. at least to me is not one hit wonder. 49. Emilia - Big Big WorldI don't think I ever heard this. It is a pleasant song ,but soft to the point of nonexistant to my ears. There are a100s of songs that make better use of this melody. Still wouldn't be bottom 10 for me tho. 48. Chesney Hawkes - The One And OnlySounds like a late 80's left over. Almost like a forgotten John Waite cover that i never knew existed. Anyway, also not a song I would put in my bottom 10. 47. Stiltskin - InsideWTF was that intro even there? This sucked. 90's rock didn't blow me to begin with. This sounded like 90's U2 meets a Nirvana bassline with crap vocals. Plus I never heard it before. Didn't even recall it in the 90's Alt nor mainstream Rds we did? Bottom 10 for me. A high Bottom 10 , but still bottom 10. 46. Beverly Craven - Promise MeGot a bit of Kim Wilde's "You Keep Me Hanging On" melody in the verses. Not a fan of just piano songs unless they are a power ballad or sung by George Michael. This is neither. Still not vocally terrible enough for me to tank. 45. Maria McKee - Show Me HeavenLike her vocals. Sounds like she scould go LOUD if she wants to. For a song I don't recall this wasn't too terrible. 44. Shawn Mullins - LullabyI might find this song salvageable on some rds, but I never really cared for the spoken delivery. The Lullabye chorus is always cool. 43. Ten Sharp - YouThis kinda reminds me of that mid 80's Sophistipop from Boys Club "I Remeber Holding You" or some Go West. I like this style of music, but this one fails to deliver in the memorable dept. 42. Merril Bainbridge - MouthNot a fan of this percussion style. This song goes absolutely nowhere vocally nor musically. I could easily squeeze this snore fest into my bottom 10. 41. Big Mountain - Baby I Love Your WayEasy tank for me. This is a dreadfil sounding musical composition. Wouldn't be my #100. That rank would be RSVPd for.. you should know which one by now. Not too many of the songs I would have tanked have shown up ,and do you all really like HEYYYYYYYY Macarena that much?

45. show me heaven - this was another one of the discoveries I found in this list and was probably the most pleasant one. I was surprised at how much I liked it and how high I ended up ranking it (my #17). I kind of didn't want to like it but those vocals and that early 90s ballad production I couldn't say no to.
44. Lullaby - I liked this when it was out in 1999. I didn't realize how disliked it would be but I guess it makes sense. It is a bit cheesy and a bit different from the norm, but I think it works for this type of song, which is like old folk wrapped in a pop music package.
43. You (ten sharp) - count this among those I didn't know before this rankdown. It was pleasant enough. I'd probably be nicer to it if I had any sort of nostalgia toward it.
42. Mouth - this is another I didn't realize was disliked as much as it is. I liked it when it was out but I also don't think it's aged super well - mainly because there's not a lot of meat to the song. There isn't a lot about it now that pulls me in so it's more of a 'meh' for me now.
41. baby i love your way - 10-year-old me LOVED this song when it was out. Apparently I generally liked the mini-reggae phase of 1994 because some of the other reggae (or reggae-leaning) hits that charted that year I also really liked. It would be a few years later that I realized I don't think I care much for this anymore. It's great in the right nostalgic context (such as when I listen to old Casey's Top 40 shows from that summer), but it's a little schmalzy for me now I think. There WAS a remix of this that Shadoe Stevens sometimes played on AT40 that I wish I could find though. I remember liking that version much more than the standard regular version.

Another 1 hit wonder honorable mention is one I actually didn't realize can be considered a 1 hit wonder. Peaked at 2, she had a few other minor charting songs barely making the hot 100 but that is it. This song is alright.
Also I will try to do 10 reveals today again split between different times, first 5 maybe afternoon time (somewhere between 12 Pm to 3) and the later 5 around night (probably around 7 to 9 Pm)

Itβs more than alright, that song is π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯! Itβs become one of my most listened to songs of the 90s in recent years. I jam to it a couple times a month at least.

I was just reminded of "Freak Like Me" in the Billboard '90s poll just a few days ago. I forgot all about that song and how much I loved it - and what a great jam that was. If it were here, it would at least be a Top 15 ranking from me, possibly Top 10. :(

I will reveal in 2 to 3 hours but I will just post the preview to 40 right now. 3 people will lose a top 10, all of them will be their first, and it might be a surprise to them that this is out already maybe, or maybe not. 2 50 ranks are also lost. Around the start of the Rankdown this was in the top 10 highest SDs but it ended up around the middle by the end. I think 40 is also the lowest point of the song on the Rankdown too, almost being very close to go into the bottom 10. Can try to predict what song this could be, or other songs we might lose today.

Maybe I underranked it but this is a cool song but I just could not rank it higher due to many better songs. Maybe it'll grow on me more over time and in future Rankdowns I could have it even higher.

Song number 39 is the last song without any top 10 ranks, and I am surprised that this not have any top 10 ranks at all and that it finished barely in the top 10 lowest SDs at the 10th lowest. Only 8 people ranked this bottom 10, 4 of them bottom 3 with 1 of them a last place rank.

"74-75" was another song I didn't know before this rankdown (jeez, I'm starting to feel like I didn't know half the songs here, but it really was just a couple. Maybe this is the last of them?) and it sounded pleasant. Tbh I probably underranked it.

39. Snow - Informer
A great and funny song that I can't hate. I don't know if the sample from 2019 made people hate this song more or like it more, but it played no affect on me. Always liked this and will continue to do so.

The only thing I really dislike about this song is the fact that it kept one of my top five favourite hip-hop songs of all time from the #1 spot.

I'm also surprised to see song number 38 get 2 last place ranks. I thought it would be a low SD type of song where not many people cared about to rank high and not annoying enough to have lower tier ranks, but it had a little bit of everything. Only 2 top 10s, and one of them is a top 5. It beat Informer by 3 points.

And at 37 we finally have our first High SD alert!!!! 6th highest.
3 number 2 ranks lost. 1 number 1 rank lost (our 3rd 1 loss). Another top 10 is also lost.
3 bottom 3s lost including 2 50s.
What song could this be?

39. informer
Yeah, idk. I don't think I ever really liked this song. And the more I read about it over the years, the less interested I am. It's not even that I don't like Snow. He had a bit of a minicomeback in Canada in 2000 and had a few radio hits that I enjoyed at the time. Maybe I just want to show that I can dislike something and use this song as an example. *shrug*
38. lemon tree
I vaguely remember this song. I do remember the few times I heard it back when it was a current it always reminded me of something out of the 60s, and on that basis I didn't care for it - or at least I didn't think I did. It's always kind of lingered in my memory for years so this was my first time actually listening to it in full probably since 1996 or something. It's fun!

Saying this is my #50 would be wishful thinking. I might as well expect that in the top 25. I'll guess "Breakfast At Tiffany's" is next.

37. Los Del Rio - Macarena
Like Gangnam Style, this is a fun song for me that I just cannot hate at all. This will hurt for some people, especially the ones who ranked it 1 and 2.

I didn't expect four ranks in the top 2, but I do agree this song is overhated.

At 36 we get another song that made the 90s decade list. This song only has 3 top 10s and none of them are 5. No last place ranks are lost this time.

That means it can only be either "Rump Shaker" or "Here Comes the Hotstepper".

36. The Tony Rich Project - Nobody Knows
This isn't a bad song, just a little bit on the boring side.
