I like the sound of that! ^^

Also

So early. How did you get the link though? Isn't it private? It's nice, but way too busy and after seeing that it has 50 songs in it I understood why. It's still good imo, but my least favourite edition so far beating 2010.

He posted it on Facebook I actually really like it. Much better than Daniel Kim's. Here is a playlist I made of all the year end mashups I could find so far (and mine) if you are interested :) www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmuFYsB1h2y-EEjZZTG91D9Bwovl5tb6k

1. Stay on topic. -- try to keep all conversation relevant to the original topic at hand. If it's a topic about a specific single, keep the discussion related to that song. Same with topics about specific albums, artists, movies, etc. Some progression of the discussion away from the original intent is okay if the discussion is a quality one that grew naturally out of the conversation, but ideally discussion will come back to the original topic within a reasonable time.

3. No Personal Attacks. -- Personal attacks towards other board members anywhere on the message board will not be tolerated and will result in a warning/possible suspension.

Please follow these rules. Thanks.

[Dylan :)]

I am curious as to how On My Mind, Here, Same Old Love and Like I'm Gonna Lose You will place this year. I also hope that Confident can make it

[rimetm]

OK, I've set up the centralized thread. Honestly, I'm surprised nobody's even got their point estimates for 12/5. Let's rectify that!

I get the intentions of wanting to stop the argument because it was stupid in the first place, but we can tell people to stop without mini modding.  :)

anyways getting back on topic, I have to wonder on how many songs from 2014's list will make the 2015 list

Good question. According to Brocolli's predictions:

Shake It Off
All About That Bass
Animals
Stay With Me
Habits (Stay High)
Bang Bang
Chandelier
Don't

That's at least 8 songs (I might have missed some, feel free to correct me)

It should be these eight. Other songs like Hot Boy, Don't Tell 'Em are closest but not close enough to make it.

Has a track ever made the Top 10 in two consecutive year-end charts?

I Know Elton John did it in 97/98 with Candle In The Wind/ The Way You Look Tonight (#1 in 97, #8 in 98)

you forgot Take Me To Church, unless you were only talking about songs that were top 50 in 2014 rather than top 100

Take Me to Church wasn't on last year's list. He means year-end, not the last week or something.

By the way, are everybody's 2016 predictions being held up because of determining the formula, real life (don't worry, I'm aware of Daniel's situation), or bitterness/lack of enthusiasm after the walker9/broccoli spat?

"How Do I Live" by LeAnn Rimes did the same thing in those years, it was #9 in 1997 and #5 in 1998.

i could swear TMTC was #97 or something on last year's list...I guess I was mixing it up with a YouTuber's personal year-end chart or something lol

I'm pretty sure Take Me To Church wasn't on last year's list unfortunately.

America the ones list above

In Canada in 2009 I Gotta Feeling was #1 in the year end and #10 on the 2010 list

Edit: I left this thread for a couple weeks and came back to quite the entertaining brigade, is it over now? 

[Deleted]

Ladies and gents, the YE chart is up:

[lyhom]

well damn, "el perdon" is in there after all

edit: holy fuck "flex" made the top 50? wow I'm impressed

Not really answering your question, but chart fans and/or Ed Sheeran fans might be interested to know that Thinking Out Loud MIGHT manage it in the UK. It was in the year-end top 10 last year and could make it this year too.

[Dylan :)]

Worth It :O When was the last time a song finished that high without hitting the top 10? All I can think of is Sail but that was #25

[Deleted]

I guess with the new recurrent rule there's very little chance for Lean On to make the 2016 year-end chart huh? :/

[lyhom]

I know "The Motto" made it to #20 in 2012 despite only peaking at #14

The Motto was #20 in 2012 and peaked at #14 IIRC

EDIT: looks like someone beat me to it

The Motto by Drake in 2012 (that would have easily gone top 10 if streaming was included back then though).

That's not a surprise. It had a LOT of weeks in Top-20.

I had it at #23 in my year-end predictions as well.

[Deleted]

Songs on the 2015 year-end list that will likely make the 2016 year-end list

10. The Hills
12. Can't Feel My Face
16. Lean On (now that I think of it, I wouldn't rule it out at all)
21. 679
30. Hotline Bling
33. What Do You Mean?
35. Hello (obviously)
36. Stitches
57. Wildest Dreams (actually I'm unsure of this one too, but I predict it will make it)
73. Ex's & Oh's
76. Like I'm Gonna Lose You
94. Here

10-13 songs, pretty standard (I suppose there's a slim chance for Watch Me in spite of the fact that it'll get at most 14 weeks in 2016 unless it somehow stays in top 25)

[Deleted]

I'm stoked with how things turned out. I aimed for ballpark, and I definitely got solid ballpark for most songs. My top 10 was pretty solid, especially when you consider how close the discrepancies were to each other point-wise.

El Perdon made it, despite the naysayers saying it wouldn't. I had no doubt. How Deep Is Your Love snuck in, which I was hoping for. 

Worth It managed to fair considerably better officially than it did on my list - while I'm Not The Only One ended up considerably lower... but both still within 10 places. Looks like Habits (Stay High) was my biggest flaw... the only one that was off by more than 10 spots (12 position difference).

I had quite a few songs in their exact positions (18), which is cool, and many were off by one or two, but I'm more excited about the overall, general likeness between my predictions and the official.   All in all, only 2 songs made it in that didn't make it on mine (HDIYL and Back To Back), which were #106 and #108 on mine, respectively.

[Dylan :)]

Congrats, broccoli! I hope you manage to be even closer this year

[Deleted]

I'm surprised "Prayer In C" didn't make it. I thought it would after peaking at a respectable 23 and charting the full 20 weeks. I'm not surprised at "I Want You Know", though, it's performance was pretty weak to make it in the end. Both broccoli and walker9's predictions were not far off, and "El Perdon" making it, wow, that's history-making right there. That's what happens when you stick around for 30 weeks. Adele also made history by making it with just 3 short weeks at #1. Is it me or was the list very urban-oriented this year? In any case, 2015 was a very diverse and interesting year. For the record, if you all don't know, this marks the first time since they got famous that Katy Perry and Kesha did not appear on the list (though Katy will be back next year). Iggy Azalea, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga also didn't make the list (not a good or visible year for established female pop stars), which opened the door for a lot of new artists. Glad to see The Weeknd have as big a year as he did, who would've thought. Anyway, as always it was great to follow the charts, till next year.

Number of correct positions: broccoli (19) vs. walker9 (13)
Average of distances: broccoli (2.98) vs. (3.74)

I guess it's clear whose is more accurate.
Still, great job for both of them.

I'd like to address the elephant in the room. And since many have already felt the need to chime in, it's obvious people care.

Please understand that I was the ONLY ONE who took the time to supply weekly predictions after Daniel stopped... and did so with respect to Billboard's general point system/methodology as much as possible. So when others challenge me on an ongoing basis without being able to justify their means, I consider that being trolled. Yes, this thread is just for fun, and no I don't take it that seriously. However, if you're someone like me who puts a lot of time into it and people say they are going to do things and then never do, and challenge you but can't put their money where their mouth is, and then cry victim to bullying when they get called out for all the nonsense... it sucks all the fun out of it for me and makes me not want to contribute or share.

I deal with people on a case by case basis, solely on my own interaction with them. I'm a respectful person, but I'm human and I have my own threshold for how much crap I'm willing to take from others. Disrespect comes in more than one form, and can be nicely disguised under a shroud of being mild mannered. I simply expect more out of people given I kept this thread alive on a weekly basis after Daniel. I found it really off-putting and disappointing that some of us came in here and made a horse and pony show out of me finally saying what I really feel about someone else's "contributions" to this thread, considering the context of the last 6 months. Again, I'm the only one that was contributing regular predictions... so I'm not really sure how anyone else felt justified in chiming in on something that I nipped in the bud with someone else. I needed to say what I did publicly and directly. Ignoring it didn't make it go away, instead it garnered "well, I guess nobody wants to respond to me" pity parties. Whether you agree with how I handled it or not is irrelevant to me.

I encourage others to contribute more of their ongoing lists throughout the year. I got the impression that I was the only one doing any real work, and I don't appreciate what appears to be people using my predictions to create their own in the latter part of the year and then challenge me on them with vague responses that have no relevant reasons. If this isn't the case, then prove it. That's all. Don't annoy me with "you have this song way too low" when you're not putting in the effort to show or explain your own work. Everyone can make predictions, and do so however they'd like, but please leave my name and my predictions out of yours unless you are prepared to discuss it with me in more detail.

This isn't a competition- at least that's not what it's about for me. It's the process for me that is fun throughout the year. Anyone can take an existing list, move things around and get lucky. That's not what I do. Based on what I consider fairly successful predictions based on official results, I'll continue to track weekly, privately, and stand behind my final predictions. I may or may not share my predictions in this thread weekly like I did this year until I see some of these other people contribute their own, on their own, without someone like me as a crutch to do all the heavy lifting all year. Mind you, none of this would matter if I didn't feel like I was being used and trolled by certain individuals, but unfortunately that's exactly how it feels when you do the work and have certain people trivialize it in their own ways, intentionally or not.

I'm moving on from this now - I just needed to address it. Looking forward to seeing others predictions throughout the year to see how others come to their conclusions... organically.

You did a really good job along with walker9. To say it was a major undertaking is an understatement. I would advise everyone here to take their disputes via p.m.. Thanks.
