Welcome to the 1996 Hot 100 Year-End Rankdown!
This will be the first Hot 100 Year-End Rankdown I will be hosting on Pulse that is not a redo. Once the Eternal Sunshine deluxe releases I will open up the Eternal Sunshine Rankdown, but other than that this will be the only rankdown I will host for a while.
I am also including in this post an announcement. I know I’m about four months early on this, but given that the old rankdowns archive is no longer stickied on this forum and this will be the last big rankdown I host before then, there probably isn’t a better time to announce this than now:
I will be hosting the 2024 Hot 100 Year-End Rankdown! Based on previous rankdowns I’ve hosted, I have basically everything sorted out for that. I will just need to make some amazing graphics, which will be experimented with in this rankdown.
The rankdown will open the day the Year-End is out (which should be in late November) and will close on January 12, 2025, with reveals occurring in mid-to-late January.
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get started:

What to do:
1) Rank all of the songs based on your preferences, from 1 (your favorite song) to 108 (your least favorite song). All songs must be ranked.
2) PM me (Lukas) your rankings of all of these songs. List the songs from best to worst, so starting from #1 then down to #108. I will let you decide if you want to number your list. If you want to number your list, use the line numbering tool (see the list of links below) to automatically have it done for you.
3) You must stick to the same formatting of the song artists/titles that I’ve listed above. This means, COPY AND PASTE THE LIST ABOVE TO MAKE YOUR RANKINGS. DO NOT TYPE THE SONGS OUT MANUALLY. I reserve the right to ask you to re-do your list if you do not follow this rule. So follow this rule; don’t add more work for me (and you).
4) You can choose to edit your list after you submit, but do not do so excessively. You cannot edit your list once the submission deadline has passed.
5) Rankings are due on September 29, 2024 at 11:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4). The deadline will be extended if necessary.
During the submission period, I will be posting some "extras". These extra songs are not part of the actual rankdown and thus you will not be including them in your rankings. Only the songs listed above are.
Here is a list of useful links:
Line Numbering Tool - Use if you want to number your list.
Preference Revealer - Sorts the list of songs by asking you to decide between pairs of songs.
Spotify playlist (thanks Fire for creating the playlist!):
One song, namely Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen - Theme from Mission: Impossible, is not available on Spotify. You can listen to it here (thanks singingrulebritannia for the catch).
Finally, here is the tag list. Starting with this rankdown, I will be using my own tag list, namely the list of people who usually send for my rankdowns. I am doing this because I think it’s more useful than the generic chart rankdowns tag list. You do not have to be on this tag list to send in a list. Anyone can send.
