I didn't vote for West End Girls in 1984 because the original 1984 single is ridiculously inferior to the 1985 re-recording.

I've made a Spotify playlist with all available songs that have received at least 25 points. This way, any available song included in someone's top 10 should be included.

The final poll of the 80's could be a top 200
150 is a strange number

The first decade polls had 100 albums and songs. We then increased the nominations to 150, to make room for more than 10 albums/songs per year and get a more definitive top 100. I think I also once suggested that the decade poll countdowns should start from 100 (down to 1), creating some excitement during the presentations about which albums/songs that made the list and which didn’t.

I like surprises

I also prefer that the worst ranked songs do not appear at the beginning of the presentation

Funny that you mention this: I made this post asking for feedback about 2 possible ideas with the poll, one of which was an expansion of the qualification pool.

I also like Henrik's idea of not including the lowest ranked songs/albums in the overall presentation to add suspense.

EDIT: linked to a new thread rather than a post in the overall 80s thread.

This one's from 1990, so I won't count it.
Father2TheMan wrote: 279 | King | The Taste of Your Tears
287 | King | Alone Without You
296 | King | Crazy Party
These ones all seem to be from 1985, so please keep them in mind for the 1985 poll!
Please omit all 4 and just move everything up.

Also I just noticed a duplicate for Queen | Hammer to Fall. Please keep it at #223, delete #300 and move everything up.

Thanks!
