In the 80's and 90's there was a boom of rock in Spanish, and Latin American radio stations in Spanish made ​​many songs reach number one. However, there are a few songs that, while not the most recent, have managed to earn a spot in this Top 20 of the best songs and the most popular rock songs in Spanish-language.

It's like if Rolling Stone put Shop Around at #1 and Like a Rolling Stone at #500, right?

Yeah

I won't use the reverse order, just because it seems to be that way. If they don't say it is listed in reverse, I have to assume that this is how they wanted it. No?

Actually, it seems like a Press Note and not a E! Latin American special, the same article was part in other website and repeat xactly the same (and it seems the list was made for every website that published it in 2011)

So what’s the actual source? Is it a critics’ list?

That's was the link of Los 40 Principales Panama http://los40.com.pa/los40/2011/08/01/ac ... 24444.html

The previous day, it appeared on the website of E! Latin America. The content of the article looks like a critic list, but all the different websites repeated as a press note. On the note of E! says: "our selection" but they don't said that it's common don't edit when they take news from news agencies. So it's really confusing.

Last year they published a list of reggaeton songs ever
http://la.eonline.com/mexico/musica/las ... -historia/?
But they publish on the Music Section.

I think in this case, positions shouldn't be considered if this list continues being included.
