Somebody will already lose a top 10 with this next reveal. Despite finishing so low this song was able to escape the bottom 10 very briefly for just one movement. This artist has been featured before in the Lost Hits rankdowns though they've never done quite this poorly before. Another perfecto gets handed out here.

Rounding out the bottom 10 is a song that stumbled down the stretch and never found itself in this predicament until right at the very end. Somebody who has already lost a top 10 ranking will lose another here. This song was the only one for the artist to chart on the Hot 100.

It's crazy how many huge sample sources this list had. "Very Special" being the basis for Jennifer Lopez's "All I Have", "Watching You" used for the chorus of Snoop Dogg's "Gin And Juice"...and that's just from 10 songs, we still have 40 to go.

#49. Flash - QueenThis wouldn't be a genuine lost 80's Rd without me losing a Top 10 on first night of reveals.  I stand by the awesomeness of this song. That deep piano chord progression just pounds into you. Flash (cue explosions) AHHHH... saviour of the universe! #47. Wired for Sound - Cliff RichardOne of my favorite discoveries. Tried my hardest to squeeze this one into my top 20. Really catchy Really love Cliff Richards vocals. He sounded amazing on "Suddenly" with Olivia Newton-John. Someday I'll have to redo my early 80's charts (again) and find a way to squeeze this one in there. #43. Watching You - SlaveThis is a bop. It just keeps you bouncing all the way through. "Walking down the street whatching ladies...."" such a catchy line. Seriously what else is there to do while walking down the street. Also I would have loved for Morris Day and the Time to perfecorm this one. Morris would have turned this into a hell of a sexy theme. Rockin' Into the Night - .38 SpecialPULSE does not know how to Rock into the night.  |

Kicking off tonight's reveals is an artist that we've seen multiple times in these Lost Hits rankdowns. Despite finishing so close to it, this song was never actually in the bottom 10 at any point. Early on in the submission process it actually spent a couple of movements in the top 20. One of the posters losing a top 10 here hasn't lost one previously.
Best rankdown position: 14
Worst rankdown position: 40
Average position: 30.5
SD rank: 9th highest
Ranking distribution:
Top 10s: 2
