Billboard Hot 100 Predictions: 08/12/2023

[𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿]

Now with that song out of the #1 contention, we're back to Morgan threatening to rewrite Hot 100 history as "Last Night" may be on its way to a possible 15th week at #1. Can Travis Scott's album bomb delay it for a week?

LET'S GET IT!

How is cruel summer and barbie world not in the top 10?!?

[𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿]

With how late the full charts came out and the results for 08/05 as well, delaying this chart week's deadline to Friday is justified

"UTOPIA" made quite a rough week at the predictions, with the unpredictability which is expected in album bomb weeks like this one. But it is not the only one that caused damage on the results, predictions underestimating "Cruel Summer" and overestimating "Fukumean" helped as well. Zoibator's the last one to predict, but takes the solo win (the late deadline helped on preventing a possible half-win) and is one win away from possibly tying or overtaking the top spot at Over-All Standings.

Is that a record minus points we’re witnessing?

So I checked, and it barely beats Baby Yoda Hot100Fan's score of -71 back in the 12/26/2020 chart (Christmas songs + "Evermore" album bomb chart week)

SPOILER: Click to show

maybe there's a worse score before -73, but assuming the past couple of years

When I saw this reply, I thought of three prediction weeks where it is possible, the two last predictions of 2020 and 2021 (that both had Christmas songs and an album bomb) and 08/15/2020 (aka the "Move Ya Hips" week)

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^I feel as relieved as Taylor Swift did when Like Crazy broke Willow's record drop in the Hot 100 from #1 earlier this year. LOL ...
