already is factored into Acclaimed Music.

Oh wow, I really ought to check and see if a list is in AM before I add it. I could have sworn that Stereogum said it was a new list though...

[JR]

No problem, Nick. Some outlets just miss the boat. And, since NME was unveiling decade lists regularly over the last couple of months, it probably figured it was new.

[RB]

Wow so i think The Stones have the most entries with 7

Btw, it's the All-Time Top 100 (of NME's lifetime) next week

[JR]

The full list isn't online yet, but until then, we have the top 50 (top 20 from NME, 21-50 from another site). Of course, we have tracks that are ranked lower on the decades lists than they are on this Lifetime list.

[JR]

Thanks, Henrik. Just saw that myself.

[RB]

'Nothing Compares 2U' is that the lowest placed decades (#73) & highest placed all-time (#36) or is there anyone in all-time that's not in decades?

[RB]

The Beatles are the only act with 3 entries &/or that are all new. Last time in '02 it was :

96. I Wanna Hold Your Hand
44. Pennyland/Strawberry Fields Forever
12. Paperback Writer

& now :

99. Eleanor Rigby
26. She Loves You
15. A Day In The Life

So also only act with 6 entries on last 2 all-time lists.

[JR]

For you, RB, and everyone else.

I've gone ahead and separated the all-time list by the decades. In parentheses is a track's rank on the decades list.

One '70s track did not appear on the 1970s list, and five tracks from the '80s did not appear on the 1980s list.
