SOME F.A.Q.
ISN'T TOO MUCH TO HAVE 15 SONGS PER RANKING? Well, maybe... but it also allows for each ranking to be properly represented, specially large ones.
WHAT IF A SONG APPEARS ON MULTIPLE TOP 15s OR REPEATS ON SOME WAY ON ONE PARTICULAR TOP 15? This actually happened a couple of times (ex. Backseat on both Charli and Carly's ranking), on those cases the repeating song is skipped and position #16 from the featured artist is used instead. In a similar fashion, in the case of songs that appear on multiple forms (ex. Genie in a Bottle and the Spanish version Genio Atrapado on the Christina ranking) the lowest-scoring version is skipped.
IS THERE ANY SONG THAT WASN'T INCLUDED ON THE PLAYLIST? Actually there is only two songs that aren't available on Spotify at all that were skipped: BTS' DDaeng and the band member Jungkook's Still With You; on that instance (and future instances) we simply skipped it and jumped into the next song... also I can't ensure that each and every song is available on all regions.
The no-singles, the robbed songs, the overshadowed bops... this playlist will help you to discover some hidden gems and, maybe, your newest obsession!
SOME F.A.Q.
HOW MANY SONGS PER RANKING ARE INCLUDED? 15 songs per ranking: first are the ten highest-placing deep cuts that didn't appeared in their respective ranking's top ten; they are followed by a selection of Editor's Cuts, or songs that were robbed from a higher position according to either the comments or me!
WHAT'S THE CRITERIA OF INCLUSION? For the top 10 of deep cuts, only songs from studio albums, mixtapes and EPs are included; no features or loose releases are allowed. Also, there's a limit of 3 songs per album and 2 songs per EP allowed, in order to keep things varied. In a similar fashion, no alternative versions of singles or songs present in the Top 10 and no Christmas releases are included. The Editor's Cuts are more varied, with the occasional single or feature appearing (except for big hits and such) to add some "spice".
IS THERE ANY SONG THAT WASN'T INCLUDED ON THE PLAYLIST? Unfortunately there were some songs excluded from the Top 10 of Deep Cuts due to the song's unavailability on Spotify: Beyoncé's Grown Woman (exclusive from the visual edition of her self-titled album), Whitney Houston's Higher Love (the original version is only available in the Japanese pressing of I'm Your Baby Tonight) and Kylie Minogue's Mighty Rivers (a bonus track of the iTunes edition of Aphrodite) and a couple of Soundcloud BTS cuts. In a similar fashion multiple songs that I would have love to have added to the Editor's Cuts section of multiple rankings weren't available, but that's another story.
Not everyone can be a winner! Here they are, (almost) every song to have scored 4.5 points or below...
SOME F.A.Q.
WHY? Because a playlist this shitty can have so many uses or it can be just informative enough to those masochists.
HOW MANY SONGS PER RANKING ARE INCLUDED? As many as they are, there are no limits.
WHAT'S THE CRITERIA OF INCLUSION? As long as the song has a score of 4.5 points or below, it can be included on this playlist.
IS THERE ANY SONG THAT WASN'T INCLUDED ON THE PLAYLIST? Unfortunately there's a lot, too many to mention... the reasoning behind them not being available of Spotify basically boils down to their source of origin: some are exclusive from certain compilations, other are features from artists who are not present on Spotify, other are simply not available due to right issues, and some other are simply not included for random reasons like second-hand embarrassment from the artist (like Radiohead's Pop Is Dead)
Because Christmas is always around the corner, let this playlist of holiday classics and new hits as performed by the biggest pop stars in the world be your soundtrack this season!
There are no repeating songs on this playlist, so don't be afraid to play this list of iconic and festive songs because you wouldn't find dozens of versions of Last Christmas in here...
