top ten list
Numbered favorites countdown
A top ten list ranks ten items in order of preference, importance, or quality.
The format is a staple of entertainment media and casual conversation alike: top ten movies of all time, top ten reasons to quit your job.
The number ten is conventional rather than meaningful—such lists may contain more or fewer items while keeping the name.
David Letterman popularized the comedic top ten list as a nightly television segment.
