Favorite Song that Barely Missed the Billboard 2018 YE 100

[T. Eddy]

As you already know, only 100 songs make it onto Billboard's annual year end 100, cataloging the songs that were the biggest hits in a given year. Of course, only 100 songs make it that year, so as a result, several hundred songs that appear on the hot 100 in the course of a year will end up missing the year end. Some songs only stick around for a single week at 100, while others come so close that it actually becomes a surprise when we find that they missed the year end. Today I'm taking a poll on which of 15 of those songs that narrowly missed the YE 100 of 2018 that you like the most.



I'm not including songs that are likely to make 2019 like High Hopes, breathin, Mo Bamba, and Drip Too Hard. Also not including songs that would've been repeats from 2017 had they managed to make it. This poll is about the songs that came so close in 2018, but fell short, and now will probably never be immortalized on a billboard hot 100 year end list.
Considered including more songs but I didn't want the poll to have too many options



So tell me, which of these songs do you like most, and are they better than the songs that narrowly made it instead of them?

My Picks:
1. Sit Next to Me
2. I'm A Mess
3. Drowns the Whiskey
4. The Way Life Goes
5. Chun-Li



Note: Got my info from the Hot 100 Year-End Predictions thread here on Pulse.

"Five More Minutes". Such an excellent track reminiscing about how you wish you had five more minutes of that moment. And the dedication to his grandfather was nice too.

The fact that "APESHIT" is doing so well on this only makes me all the more relieved it didn't actually make the year-end chart (and subsequently the rankdown).

Sit Next To Me, Beautiful and I'm a Mess

I was just listening back through some 2018 songs, and Sit Next To Me stood out for sure. Really a song that deserved better.

Although I’m sad Beautiful isn’t likely making the 2019 year end??

It's one of the songs on the list that has a small chance actually, but I added it anyway because it isn't something that seems guaranteed to make 2019 like High Hopes or Drip Too Hard.


Also I would've had to include Roll in Peace in its place had I not included Beautiful.
