So, what if the Billboard year started in January and ended in December? I just computed the year-end chart for 2016 using that tracking period. Main changes: Way Down We Go and Trouble move up from #3 and #8 respectively. Bastille also manages to squeak into the top 10. Both First and Stressed Out take hits in the top 10, falling from #6 and #4 respectively. Lots of big movements for songs that managed to be in the top 10 in December: Take It All Back, She's Out of Her Mind and Still Breathing, to name a few.
I plan to compile the charts for Active, AAA and Canada Rock as well, as well as the 2017 year-end charts using that tracking period. You can compare them to the original chart
here.
wheatsquares33 made a similar chart
