Rules

1. You may vote up to 4 entries that fit the prompt.
2. No alts.
3. No deleting or editing posts; though, editing posts shortly after you post is fine.
4. If you change your vote, clearly indicate that you are changing a previous vote. Same for adding or subtracting picks.
5. In general, if there are two picks that can be considered the same product (i.e. Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle), I will combine them.
6. If a vote is vague, I will pick the first available choice that best matches the vote (i.e. "Mario" for Wii Games becomes Super Mario Galaxy).
7. I will post the parameters of each Rushmore topic. Other than that, feel free to vote however you like and based on any criteria that best fits the "Mount Rushmore" of that topic.
8. If a vote doesn't fit the topic, it will count as a blank vote.
9. You may nominate as much as you want and have an unlimited amount of seconds for established nominations.
10. Every Sunday, I'll post the schedule for next week. I will pick based on the number of nominations. Any ties will be determined by RNG.

Really low vote totals for something I'd expect to be a popular topic. That said, I think it's a pretty solid list and it's hard to imagine something else. though, I'm sure there would have been many "is light an anti-hero or a villain protagonist" arguments

Today's Parameters:

You must pick one-hit wonders from music.

A one-hit wonder is defined as a song from an artist that is extremely popular, with all other songs from that artist (before, during, and after) being relegated to obscurity. It's possible that there is a leftover effect for the next big single, but it's generally clear that the one-hit wonder is by far the peak for that artist.

The Poll

Adding this poll to make a decision on Anime OPs. For context: I made a rule that Anime OPs need to be subs, but despite this, the Pokemon Theme from the dub still did very well. There were other dub-only openings that got votes, but Pokemon Theme definitely did the best out of them. It did not make it into the Rushmore but it likely had a high chance if that rule was removed.
