jdmc219 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Welcome everyone to the 2010s edition of the Close But No Cigar Rate! Originated by the awesome @umich, we will be continuing and determining the ultimate songs of the '10s that were so close, but unfortunately could not take over the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100!

RULES: Rate each song from 1-10. ONE 11 and ONE 0 are allowed. One decimal allowed (ex. 5.6) Comment on your 11 and 0. Optional comments on any other song. Don't get out of hand!!!
