A dj contact created a top 40 song list and invited others to dos so. He invited others to do so. Here is my effort reflecting only my subjective likes. I ranked the non-pop list but not the pop. I listed any one artist once even though many have gobs of great songs . Hope you find something you like! Feel to comment, critique or suggest others you regard as more worthy.
