How Does Ranking the BEST Sad Songs EVER Work?

Ranking the best sad songs ever is like picking the most tear-jerking ice cream flavor from a huge freezer, but instead of ice cream, you have songs.

Imagine you and your friends are all crying because your favorite toy got broken. Each of you cries for different reasons: one might cry because it was a gift from Grandma, another because it was their only friend in the park. Now imagine you all write down how sad each song made you feel, that's like saying how much you cried over that toy.

Then, someone counts all your sadness scores and adds them up. The songs with the highest total sadness are the best sad songs ever, just like the ice cream flavor everyone agrees is the most tear-jerking (or the most delicious).

Sometimes, people also think about how many times a song has made others cry too, that's like seeing how many friends have also cried over that same toy.

So, it's not magic, it's just counting feelings and adding them up!
