I think this is just a list of what they think are the best 50 songs, don’t think it’s ranked. Usually if you are doing a ranking list you’d start at the bottom.
I did read the intro carefully, but it does not really specify.
But, here’s vid of the best version ever of “You’ll never walk alone”. A song I never really “got”. I always thought it was rather trite.
But, the greatest thing about Marcus Mumford’s version here is now I do get it, even though I still think it’s trite! This is a true work of performance art. And hang on for cranky mum at the end!

Number 1 through 50 and you’re listing 1 through 50. Offering it in reverse order doesn’t change anything one way or another.
