Billboard Hot 100 Decade to Date, Past YTDs...

[icefire9]

2012's Year To Date Thread:
pulsemusic.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gmn&action=display&thread=113279

This chart was calculated using an inverse ranking point system. Each week, the song at #1 was given 100 points, the song at #2 given 99 points, etc...

The results do not match the actual 2011 chart as much as I would have liked. For convenience, songs that gained 10 or more positions compared to the official year end chart are bolded while those that lost 10 or more positions are italiscized.

Songs that underperformed were usually
-#1 debuts ( Born this Way, Hold It Against Me, We R Who We R)
-Songs on the Hot 100 (especially in the top 10) at the end of the year ( Someone Like You, Moves Like Jagger, Pumped Up Kicks, Stereo Hearts)
-Songs that had a week or two are #1 but not more. (S&M, Last Friday Night, Raise Your Glass, Only Girl (In the World))

I'm working on a wieghted chart with 100 extra points for each week at #1 and 20 points for each week in the top 10. I'll try to have it posted tommorow.

Next week, I'll post a 2011-2012 chart.

I'm working on a weighted chart with 100 extra points for each week at #1 and 20 points for each week in the top 10. I'll try to have it posted tomorrow.

Personally I'd assign different weeks different strengths (1.5x points for all songs on during the christmas week, grammy week, etc....) in addition to position weighting (I'd also personally do +50 #1; +40 #2, #3; +30 #4, #5; #6, +20 #7; #8, #9; #10; +10 #11, #12, #13, #14, #15).

Nice idea! The songs that have that spent a lot of weeks on the H100 on lower positions and songs that had no longevity but smashed for months have the biggest difference, so I would recommend a parabola type point system, since the difference between #1 and #2 especially is a lot bigger than the difference between #99 and #100. I'm not sure of the exact average ratio between positions, but I'd say that on average, a #5 song would be 2/3 , and a#10 song would be around half as much points as the #1 song.

Maybe adding together the top 50 AI and sales of a random week could get a somewhat accurate ratio.

Thanks for doing this! But I do wonder how "Someone Like You" could be as low as #58. It spent 5 weeks at #1, has had decent longevity, and has sold almost 5 million copies.

It spent basically all of the 2011 charting period in the top 5, which is underscored in the point system of the list.

The inverse point system underestimates the points given to the song at #1 (and for songs in the top 10 as well.) This is usually balanced out as the song is climbing up and down the chart and is given more than average points. If you take a look at the 2012 chart, Someone Like You actually has more points in 2012 than 2011!

Oh. The thread is titled Hot 100 Decade-to-Date, so I thought that was what I was looking at.

How far along is "We Found Love"? Nowhere to be found on this list.

It has 765 points and is #129 in 2011, it's currently #1 in 2012 with 2303 points.

(December 2011 counts for 2012 just like with Billboard)

[icefire9]

In the below chart, an asterix means that the song is still charting, while a plus sign means that part of the song's chart life is before December of 2010.

Notice that Adele and LMFAO both have to songs in the top 10, while Katy Perry and Bruno Mars both have 4 songs in the top 50.

And yes, RITD and PRA really are 1000 points ahead of the nearest competition!
