Entertainment Weekly - Ranking Madonna's 35 Best Singles (2017)

Lists by single critics or musicians, published in magazines or on websites, have lower priority. The amount of such lists would be impossible to handle.
(However, priority is given to single author lists from books, very famous music critics and artists with albums or songs ranked on Acclaimed Music. Single author lists are also more likely to get priority if they are not limited to a genre or artist.)

It’s hard to imagine music without Madonna. It seems like she’s always been there, changing the game and reinventing herself. But her pop journey all started 35 years ago when she dropped her first single, the dance jam “Everybody,” on Oct. 6, 1982. Since then, she’s never looked back. To celebrate the anniversary of that landmark release, EW ranks the 35 best singles of the Queen of Pop’s royal career.

This is a single-critic's list, even though he says "EW." On his Twitter page, he wrote that he got to rank his favorites.

There's some kinda loophole there, right?

Like, even if one person wrote it, it's as a representative of the whole magazine. A Taylor Swift list was added that had a single-writer byline but credited the list to the whole site within the article.

The other writer may not have said anywhere that they were his/her own picks, though. ;)
