-------------------------------------------------------
Ponytail to Shushu remains at #1. Ponytail to Shushu took the top spot in the very first list as well. It was pretty close this time around with it being a battle between Ponytail to Shushu and Iiwake Maybe as you can see by the result (1 point difference). Ponytail to Shushu is one of AKB48's most legendary and popular songs as you always see it performed at concerts since it was released in 2010 and I think we will continue to see that.

Same goes for our #2 song (Iiwake Maybe) as it has been a song performed alot during concerts as it's also one of AKB48's most legendary and popular songs since it was released in 2009. The First Election Single as it was centered by the Original AKB48 Ace (and now kami) Atsuko Maeda and had one a good lineup for it. The Song and MV were pretty good as well (one of my favorite MVs btw).

Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai debuts at #3 on this list. Fun Fact, it did gets votes last year even though it wasn't released (only a couple votes though). But now that it has fully released, it's here. BwT is one of the most well loved songs since it was released in May 2015. Even though it broke the Bikini single move, Alot of the folks (Not all) were ok with it. It also worked well with the SSK as of course we all know the English Title is We Won't Fight.

Time for Episode 88 voting.

B-Sides that could have been an A-Side

Requested by @blitzmatch a couple of months ago (the other one requested by @oscar6262 will be set for July (well the results will be in July lol).

Pretty much, the B-Sides on some singles have been known to be better then the A-Sides. These are the 10 B-Sides songs that could have been an A-Side. Pretty much songs from AKB48, SKE48, NMB48, HKT48, JKT48, SNH48, SDN48, Nogizaka46, Keyakizaka46, NGT48 (NGT48's Song for the 43rd Single will count) and Even Solo Songs and Sub Unit Songs.
