It's time for my first complete end-of-year ranking! I went through all songs that were submitted to TSC this year (between TSC 265 - 300), and shortlisted a total of 147 entries. This number was then narrowed down to 100 songs. A number of contests were excluded from being eligible for the ranking, including all songs from TSC 272 (only Eurovision 2017 entries were excluded), TSC 280 (80's theme), TSC 288 (Covers theme), and TSC 300 (Second chance contest).
I went back and forth between a lot of songs but am at last content with how the ranking turned out. Some songs were shoo-in's to make it in while other songs grew on me over time and thus eventually landed in my Top 100 (ie. Ponteme). Actually, this applies to many #TolisKalkas entries.
32 players have songs on my ranking, with nearly every eligible contest being represented. Everyone is tagged on their first entry to appear in the ranking, but many of you obviously have multiple entries included. My top four songs are also linked. Without further ado, here's my TSC 2017 Ranking:
