Read full description

Unofficial. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any recording artist or record label. Head First Tier List is a fan-made app for ranking your favorite songs in order. Staring at an entire discography at once is overwhelming, so instead you sort each album on its own and then merge them into one overall ranking, one song at a time. • Rank each album on its own color-coded tab • Optionally set up your own named tiers for further organization • Merge every album into one overall list by picking from your top songs in each album • Options to include alternate versions, stand-alone songs and features • Export any ranking as an image to share or save • Optional backup to your own iCloud account or Google Drive Your ranking stays on your device unless you choose to back it up to your own iCloud or Google Drive; there's no account, ads, or tracking. The app contains only song titles, and no lyrics, music, or artwork.
