Hot 100 Prediction Derby

[Future Captain]

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Hot 100 Prediction Game!



So, here's the rules and guidelines:



1. Submission will be opened once I posted the songs. Deadline is at Wednesday 12 PM EST.


2. The submission will be via PM, sent to me and only me.



3. The result and everyone’s prediction will be posted as soon as possible after the entire Hot 100 chart for the prediction week is revealed.


4. Every week, I will give twelve song for you all to predict where it will land in the upcoming chart. It will be the top 10 songs of the previous week, plus two songs that might have a chance in getting top 10, or major releases.


5. Here’s the scoring system:


for each song:

0 positions off = 0 points

1 position off = 1 point

2 positions off = 2 points

3 positions off = 3 points

and so on

didn't put the song in their list = 13 points


Example:


The twelve songs:

1. Work

2. 7 Years

3. NO

4. Pillowtalk

5. Panda

6. Love Yourself

7. My House

8. I Took A Pill In Ibiza

9. Work From Home

10. Me, Myself, and I

11. Cake By The Ocean

12. One Dance



My prediction:

1. Work: #3

2. 7 Years: #2

3. NO: #4

4. Pillowtalk: #7

5. Panda: #1

6. Love Yourself: #9

7. My House: #11

8. I Took A Pill In Ibiza: #5

9. Work From Home: #6

10. Me, Myself, and I: #10

11. Cake By The Ocean: #12

12. One Dance: #8


Actuals:

1. Work: #1

2. 7 Years: #3

3. NO: #4

4. Pillowtalk: #5

5. Panda: #2

6. Love Yourself: #8

7. My House: #11

8. I Took A Pill In Ibiza: #6

9. Work From Home: #7

10. Me, Myself, and I: #10



So, the points will be:

1. Work: #3 – 2 points

2. 7 Years: #2 – 1 point

3. NO: #4 – 0 point

4. Pillowtalk: #7 – 2 points

5. Panda: #1 – 1 point

6. Love Yourself: #9 – 1 point

7. My House: #11 – 0 point

8. I Took A Pill In Ibiza: #5 – 1 point

9. Work From Home: #6 – 1 point

10. Me, Myself, and I: #10 – 0 point

11. Cake By The Ocean: #12 – 3 points

12. One Dance: #8 – 5 points


Total point for this round: 12 points.



6. You can always change your answer as long it’s before the deadline, over that will be invalid, and the last submission submitted will be used for the result.


7. This thread is only for asking technical questions, posting weekly results and leaderboards. And some bickering regarding the results, I guess.


8. You’re allowed to share your prediction, I guess. If I disallow it, I might as well ask the staffs to shut down the Chart Discussion board. Keep in mind this is a competition though, and you know what to do and not to do in a competition.


So, enjoy!

Note: The competition is weekly, and I guess I'll make a monthly leaderboard and such.

If you're not tagged but want to play, just submit your answer! If you don't want to, I swear I won't tag you again

If there's any question, just shoot away! If you think there should be a rule added or a rule revised or a rule erased, just say it, I'm open!

[MTSChart21]

I will send in my predictions for 5/21! :)

[Future Captain]

Hey everyone, for this week, you guys are going to give prediction on where these songs will end up in the 21/05 chart.

1. Desiigner - Panda
2. Drake - One Dance feat. Wizkid and Kyla
3. Lukas Graham - 7 Years
4. Mike Posner - I Took A Pill In Ibiza
5. Rihanna - Work feat. Drake
6. Fifth Harmony - Work From Home feat. Ty Dolla Sign
7. Zayn - Pillowtalk
8. Meghan Trainor - NO
9. The Chainsmokers - Don't Let Me Down feat. Daya
10. Calvin Harris - This Is What You Came For feat. Rihanna
11. Rihanna - Needed Me
12. Beyonce - Formation

Since Prince songs will be plummetting down, I guess it won't be fair to ask you guys to give predictions on it.

For this week, I'm gonna change the deadline to Thursday 5/5 at 12 PM EST.

[MTSChart21]

When is the next one? (I think we should be given until tomorrow to send our predictions)

[Raccoon]

^^^^^^

[Deleted]

jt will be #1 this coming week, guaranteed. surely he sold more than 400k this week with such big leads over the Drake song which also sold quite a bit. jt is getting a lot of streams and airplay too to back it up (sales alone probably wouldn't have cut it)

[Future Captain]

Umh, first of all. Sorry for not opening the submission. Life happens, so yeah.

I think the earliest I can post the result is tomorrow, since I'm drowning in responsibilities right now.
