#10. Blondie - Call Me: Good on "Call Me" making it all the way to the Top 10. I do really like this song enough so to rank it at #33. I do wish it could have done better than the songs I ranked lower but I'm also not upset with it showing up now. This is a fun and enjoyable song. One of my favorites from Blondie.
#9. Diana Ross - Upside Down: This is a really fun and catchy jam that I also really like too. I really like this enough to rank it at #45. Diana sounds so smooth and great on this song. It's fun and funky. Again, another song where I wish some of my even lower ranks showed up before this one, but I'm fine with this showing up. Really good and cool how this song has no Bottom 35 rankings.
#8. Michael Jackson - Rock With You: Oooh I do love this song. But of the three Michael solo songs in this Top 10, I'm glad this was the one to show up. I do love this enough to give it a #14 ranking. This is a fun Disco song and it's such a timeless classic. I just prefer his other two and this one isn't as iconic as those two but it's still a fantastic song. Ouch at that lone #87 rank, which was odd to see given how this was in the #1-54 spots from everyone else.
#7. Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me): Aww noo, my first Top 10 loss of this Top 10. :( But if I had to lose a song from my Top 10 first, then I am fine with it being this song. But ahh I do really love this song and enough so to give it a #9 ranking. This song is so cute, fun, infectious and totally enjoyable. It's fun and dancey and always puts a smile on my face. Whitney delivers such a strong and powerful vocal while still maining to be fun! I love seeing so many Top 20 ranks and also love that there were no Bottom 30 ranks for this song.
#6. The Human League - Don't You Want Me: This is a fun, classic and objectively a great song as well. I do really like this but only enough so to give it a #52 eanking. This song has such a great and catchy chorus, which definitely sticks out to me. I can't really remember the verses that well though. But super fun song.
OMGG My stats of the remaining Top 5 is surely something else:
1, 2, 3, 7, 81
#5. Madonna - Like A Prayer: Ugh nooo, not my #2 showing up now. :'( I am very glad that this made it to the Top 5, as it truly deserves to. This is such a strong, powerful and meaningful song from Madonna. It still stands today as one of my ultimae and main favorite song of Madonna's. Wow I think Madonna is the highest ranked female artist in this game, so I'm kinda surprised there. Nicee at no Bottom 25 rankings for this song.
#4. Michael Jackson - Beat It: Aww at my #7 showing up now. I'm glad to see this song making it to the Top 5 and at #4. This is one of Michael's many timeless and iconic songs. I absolutely love this and think this is such a fun, great and amazing song. I love how this song doesn't have any bottom half rankings.
#3. Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World: Wow 4 #1s is really impressive for this song, well done. Well with this being my #81 (which I know I will get a lot of heat over for lmao), I am glad with this song missing the Top 2. I know I got a big unpopular opinion with this song but I've always found this kinda dry and boring. It just never really did anything for me and I wish it had more punch/something else to it? It's just always bored me. But I get that plenty of others love it. OMGG Vic ranking this at #90. hahaha I love that and love that I'm not the actual lowest ranker fot this song.
Okay so it's my #1 vs. #3. LOVE both of these songs and would be happy for either song winning.
#2. Michael Jackson - Billie Jean: Awww dangg it, such a bummer to see my #1 be so close yet so far from taking the title of the song. UGHHH at that. :( But that's okay, this is still such an amazing, outstanding and iconic song from Michael. One of my all-time favorite songs from Michael and of all-time of all songs. Ahh dangg at that #51 or else the lowest rank for this song would have been at #38 which would have been so wow to see. :o
#1. Prince - When Doves Cry: Dannngggg at the 10 #1s for this song. That is amazing and truly incredible. :omg: Well, I do absolutely love and adore this song a ton as well, since it was my #3. Again, this is an amazing song and it's another timeless and memorable song on this list. One of my very favorites from Prince. I'm actually shocked the race was so close for #1 considering the amount of #1s this got. But I'm not mad with this song winning as I do love it.
I will take the 24th place finish with a 21.48 score in rankdown closeness. 2 perfect ranks is okay though I was so close to getting so much more.
Thank you so much for hosting this game, Lukas! This was a fun rankdown to participate in and to follow.
