^At the end of each episode, special guests rank the song they’ve selected against all previous guest song choices, and are then allowed to re-rank one other song on this list if they feel its current position is not accurate. Consequently, the position of a song on this list is not necessarily reflective of the original guest’s opinion of that track, nor is it in any way reflective of the views of your hosts.
