Cheep, cheep, cheep, rank a little more.

Yes, I am here and despite all odds I've ranked all 69 crowd songs nominated. It just took me a few weeks more than expected. Sorry for those of you who understandably lost hope. But surely the most celebrated are the rehabilitated?
Loud and clear, Raka's here!

The definition of crowd song I used:
1. The song is a showtune or written in the style of one. It can be from a stage musical, movie musical, TV series, web series, etc.
2. The song is sung by 3 or more characters (both named and ensemble count) from the work it's from. So no disembodied voices.
3. Significant part of the song is sung together by the characters.
4. If it's originally written as a solo/duet song but then there's a production which turns it to a crowd song, it might count. I'll be the judge of it.

Nomination rules:
1. Up to 10 songs per user for now
2. Give the song title, the name of the work it's from, and the link to the song (Spotify/YouTube preferred)

Judging criteria:
1. Theatricality: Is it a song that's meant for the stage (or if it's a jukebox musical, is it adapted well to the story)? Does it fit the story, advance the story, or develop the characters? Does the song feel relevant to the singer(s)? If it's only meant to be a fun number, how bombastic is it?
2. Crowd Effectiveness: Is it really a crowd song, or is it mostly a solo/duet with some backing vocals? Are the characters utilized effectively in the song?
3. Appeal: Just how good/pleasant I find a song to be.
Needless to say, all these are subjective.

Nominations in the next post.
