hi, me again. I haven't hosted a rankdown in a while, but recently I've been thinking about how a 1998 hot 100 rankdown would go. not only is it my birth year, but with it being the last year where only physical single releases could chart, the list is kind of interesting. with all the redos being opened recently, I figured that it's time.
as a refresher:
- please send me (@lyhom) your rankings with #1 being your favourite song and #102 being your least favourite by 11:59 pm edt on july 5th. I'll be open to extensions (especially since I'm hosting another 100 song rankdown on totc at the moment) but as this is more than a month I hope that I don't need to extend too much, if at all.
- please try to keep the song formatting as I've put them when sending. I have ways to fix minor mistakes, but if your formatting is particularly egregious I will ask you to send again with your formatting fixed.
- some songs here have multiple versions and remixes that contributed to them becoming hits, I only put one version of each song on the playlist but if you consider a different version for your ranking, that's fine.
- my plan for reveals is to reveal 102-91 first, and then do sets of ten until the end.
here's the list (there are 102 songs being ranked, thanks to two songs being double a-sides):
