Research Paper Revision

When revising my academic essay for the pulic audience, I plan on shifting my essay from a informative to a persuasive tone. I'm not exactly sure what my main arguement is going to be, but I plan on mentioning why the songs on The American Top Forty are better than others. I plan on using parts of the auto-tuning evidence and direct quotes from the Top Forty songs in my academic essay to prove my point.
