Music Max

I've been keeping an eye on the countdown of their top 1000 80s songs over the Easter weekend. I have no idea how they work their rankings out. Islands in the Stream, which was number one for weeks in 1984 only comes in at 721, yet some songs which I've never heard of are ranked higher. Strange decision making going on.

i'm going to assume it's based on how good the songs are

Send Me An Angel was 990! Would love to know the criteria, but Max is known for its dubious countdowns.

Yeah I was surprised when I saw that, also Billy Idol's Dancing With Myself in the high 900s. As I said very weird rankings. I would have thought that it would be based on chart history but that's obviously not the case.

music max love a countdown.

its usually just a bunch of songs chucked in a random order until they get to the top 10 and it's filled with beatles/beatles member's songs.

Now that's just weird. Right by Your Side which was quite a big hit for the Eurythmics was in the 900s. I was surprised to see it that low. Now at number 626 they had I Need a Man which was basically an album filler for them.

OK, Bob Dylan's Jokerman has now been on the countdown twice.

I remember seeing "Ice Ice Baby" played twice during one of their "Top 1000 Songs of All Time" countdowns a while back.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Sure one of them wasn't Under Pressure - they're difficult to tell apart, y'know.

That's pretty messed up.

I'd forgotten how awesome the Eurythmics were. So many great hits.

Hunters and Collectors Throw Your Arms Around Me - seriously does anyone hate this song as much as me? Boring droll shit.
