Thanks for posting!
You're clearly also an "80's Child"... (meaning - we were both born in '89, right? 
)
I also love SO MANY of the songs on your chart.... many of them could EASILY also have made my chart...

Yeah Thanks, and I can say that many of your songs could easily have charted on Mine. But I guess , there are only SO many positions in a top 50 / 100... All the songs on your list are true classics though.
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by some of the songs and artists in your top 50. Some of them I would never have guessed in a million years. I was equally surprised by not seeing some of the big names/songs on your list which one would expect to see there...
Therfore I am very Curious to know what your no 51 - 100 would have looked like..

Something I just HAVE to add.
Whoever said there wasn't justice in pop has to think again! (Moi?)
I've been following the Blue-Box chart for a couple of years now, and one of the times I was MOST pissed-off in my life was December 31st, 2003, when the Blue-Box year-end chart was posted. Sophie Zelmani had to bow down to The Black Eyed Peas (incidently no. 14,326 on my all-time chart) for 'Song of the Year 2003' title. (Ewwwww, I've just relived the moment). BUT, justice has finally been served, Sophie has shown her true colors and has claimed the No. 37 position on the Blue-Box all-time Top 100, while The BEPs are nowhere to be seen! Serves the Fergie-biatch & company right - YAY!

Ha ha - yeah, yeah...
That was how I felt "at the time"... but tbh - I much rather listen to Sophie Zelmani now than 'Where Is The Love' by BEP... that song has just been SO overplayed...! 
Btw - thanks for posting the rest of your chart, Popmaster, very interesting, and very nice!
