Best Performing Song of Every Peak

 

Hey guys! A few weeks ago, someone left a comment asking about the best performing song below a certain peak. And it gave me a great idea for a post. I was curious about what was the best performing song of every peak. I did some research by going through all of the ultimate ranks, and made a list of the songs with the most point totals for each peak. This list was very surprising. There's a lot of songs on this list that you wouldn't expect to be the best performing song of its peak. No songs have ever peaked below #41, so #45-#42 will be skipped. Alright, let's get started!

#45-#42: No songs have ever peaked this low.

300k Pageviews Special - My Top 100 Songs of All Time

 

Hey guys! Wow, it's hard to believe I'm already at 300k pageviews. Thank you guys so much for all the support these past 3 years. It's been a while since I've celebrated a pageview milestone. The last one I did was my 10k pageview special back in 2022. A combination of laziness/unmotivation to make posts is the reason I didn't make specials for my 100k and 200k pageview milestones. I guess better late than never to continue celebrating my pageview milestones. For my 300k pageview special, I've decided to make a post that's been in the works for 2 years at this point. About 2 years ago, I created a Spotify playlist of my top 100 songs of all time and was planning to make a post about it. But I ended up scrapping the idea because at the time I didn't have the time or energy to make a post that big. But recently, I randomly stumbled upon that playlist, so I decided why not bring it back. I updated the playlist with new songs that grew on me, got rid of songs that faded on me, and changed the positions around on the rest of the songs. I want to iterate this is my personal opinion. If your least favorite song of all time is on this list, or your favorite song of all time isn't on this list, don't come crying to me. You can find the playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/24o4d6YU9A9Z80H5dihtiL?si=6d9af6f5aaab4365 Alright, enough yapping, let's get started with my 100 favorite songs of all time!
