Ranking:

Spoiler: How This List Was Made

The last number is the page that the song is on.

Pages = 50 posts each.

Where the daps are tied I went with the more iconic song. Feel free to agree or disagree.

The Daps only show ‘the others’ - Add 3 to have the accurate daps.

I’ll do a couple pages a day so the list is going to take a few days to be complete. I’ll post the results as I get them.

.0, .1, .2 & .3 = the daps for the songs less than “1 dap”

The song in bold is where I stopped.

I feel like songs that were added first receive an advantage. Also, I don’t believe a lot of people went through every single page to look at every song (causing some to get overlooked). I know I didn’t.
