More to come...

[Deleted]

So for this week's Hot 100, it's a pretty safe bet to say:

- The Hanging Tree will have a strong debut this week, but because it's mainly sales, I'd say somewhere in the top 40.

- Uptown Funk, and Lips are movin' will enter or threaten the top 10 due to sales.

- The Heart Wants what it wants will also threaten the top 10 due to the AMA's.

- LA Love will enter the top 20.

- 7/11 will enter somewhere in the top 40 due to YouTube and sales.

- Santa Tell Me will enter the Hot 100.

What do you think? Y'all agree? Do you predict a different notable move for this week's chart? Let me know, I'll reply back.

Hot 100 observations/opinions/rundown:

Good: The Heart wants what it wants made the top 10 and so did Uptown Funk, The Hanging Tree debuted at #12, Lips are movin' is almost top 10, I don't f**k with you and Tuesday both took drops, LA Love continues to go up, Beg for it made top 30, Night Changes (very rarely do I like a song from them fyi) went up, Yellow Flicker Beat is top 40, and Thinking Out Loud continues to climb. In the lower section of the Hot 100, Heroes continues to gain points, I bet my life went up, Dangerous climbs again, and I Lived debuted.

Not worried about: I'm not the only one and Love Me Harder

Bad: OK, where do I start with this? Don't is done, Waves is done, Blame is done, St- you know what? I think you get where I'm going with this... a lot of good songs dropped without gaining points. Coco (no, not the Mean Girls character) made top 40, Flawless is back, Try Me gains, Anaconda gains, and Stolen Dance fell back into the Danger Zone. In the lower section, Something in the Water is back in the 50's, Booty is top 75 again (wtf, right?), and In Your Arms falls again.

Happy Monday everyone! (Jk, (groans) we all hate 'em...) There are several songs on the JL44 and the Top 75 that I really want to send to the top 10, the top 5, the top 3, and even the top spot. However, the main reason I can't send some of those songs to the summit or the upper ranks is because either their Billboard score is low or I don't have faith that the song will chart high enough to give it a deserving ranking. So for your enjoyment, here are 5 songs I wanna send to the upper ranks:

1. Yellow Flicker Beat. This week was probably its best chance to reach the top 10 and it missed by 30 points. Currently, it's #14 and it's scores in order of the formula is 98, 67, and 90. Its main weakness is that its sales are dipping and it doesn't have good streaming or airplay.

2. Heroes. Before the points era, Heroes debuted at #10, but with the arrival of several brand new songs and rising songs, it quickly fell because it was brand new and struggling. It returned to #13 the week before the points system was installed, but quickly fell to #36. A rising Hot 100 score helped it gain points every week afterwards and gain positions all but this week afterwards as well. Sitting at #22 currently, a big Hot 100 rise could help it complete that elusive run for the top 10 once more.

3. Dangerous. If this doesn't hit top 10 because of its Hot 100 score, at least make top 20. Everything about this EDM song is perfect. It has a personal score of 99 and I can't max out its other score, it just needs that last key score just like Heroes.

4. I bet my life. Before the points era, it debuted at #13, but quickly fell because of its little support. Sales and Radio may be the determining factor for the success of this song.

5. In Your Arms. Isn't gonna happen at the rate it's going, the best it did in the Pre-points area is #28 and it hit #40 in the points era.

Agree with these picks? You see a song that could do good with an extra boost in a certain category? Leave it in the comments, thanks!

Observations for the Hot 100 as of 12-20-14:

Good: Take me to church is #2, Bass finally begins its descent, Uptown Funk made top 5, Lips are movin' made top 10, Waves went up again, Blame resumes its ascent, Thinking out loud is in the top 25, Centuries continues to climb, Riptide is gaining again, the one and only Pentatonix is back in the top 40, Hold you down gains, Shotgun Rider gains, Stolen Dance gains, I don't mind made top 50, and Heroes finally cracked the top 50! In the 51-100 section, Girl in a country song goes up, Dangerous climbs closer to the top 50, Perfect Storm continues to climb, Talladega made top 60, and God made girls, Ghost, Sun Daze, I see you, Close your eyes, Till it's gone, In Your Arms, and She Knows all made gains.

Worried: I'm not the only one is stalling at #7 and so is Love Me Harder at #10.

Bad: The Heart Wants what it Wants fell out of the top 10, I don't f**k with you went up, The Hanging Tree is down, Beg for it stalls, LA Love is down, and i is a flop.

[Deleted]

01-10-15 chart:

Good: Uptown Funk is up to #2, Lips are movin' is back at #4, Centuries made it to the top 15, The Hanging Tree continues to rebound, Something in the Water continues to rebound, Sledgehammer made top 40 (much better than Bo$$), Ghost continues to climb, and Time of our Lives made top 50. In the lower half, Sun Daze and I bet my Life continues to climb, GDFR made top 60, I Lived continues to climb, She knows is up, and In Your Arms made a huge rebound.

Doesn't surprise me: I counted over 40 songs going up and that is normal because this week coincides with the last week of 2014. In that week usually, radio stations play the best songs of 2014, radio airplay for a lot of songs go up, and sales go skyrocketing for a few songs.

Bad: That God awful Bass is back in the top 5, Thinking Out Loud went down, The Heart Wants What it Wants is stalling, Hot Boy rebounded, CoCo continues to climb, Heroes is stalling, Anaconda hasn't died yet, and Dangerous continues to fall.

Opinions of every song:

100. Meh...
99. Oh great... THIS again. Now if the movie was actually great, this would be an OK song.
98. You struck gold with Shower, can you do it again?
97. It's return is temporary.
96. Meh... I've heard better from him.
95. TRASH.
94. "Apparently" you are trash as well.
93. Meh...
92. He's back again...
91. Keep going!
90. Should be gone next week.
89. Meh...
88. I predict this'll drop at 17 weeks.
87. This will drop again. It's already re-entered once.
86. Finally, this song takes off.
85. Aw man... that was a good song.
84. Waiting for this to become an official single.
83. Good song.
82. Will be gone in 3 weeks.
81. Oh no... don't drop.
80. Still don't like you Minaj.
79. YES! YES, YES, YES!!!
78. Maybe this will become an official single.
77. Off to a good start I see.
76. Again, I've heard better.
75. BOOOO!!!
74. Not bad, but a little annoying.
73. Keep going!
72. Just when you thought this song was done... IT REBOUNDS JUST LIKE 79. But still, 79 is better than this.
71. It gained in points, not worried.
70. Please find a way to go back up.
69. Good song, but don't drop too soon.
68. Down you go.
67. Will be gone next week.
66. Two weeks left to crack the top 50.
65. Not too shabby, but still...
64. You can thank the local Hollister for getting me hooked to this non-official single.
63. 59 is as high it goes?
62. Keep going!
61. While in WI for the holidays, my cousins told me they love this song when I mentioned it. Can't blame them.
60. Better than I originally thought, but still, meh...
59. Keep falling.
58. Keep going!
57. Keep going.
56. Will be gone...
55. ...in 4 weeks.
54. Keep...
53. ...going up!
52. Currently my favorite country song, don't fall just yet.
51. Only went up because of the holidays.
50. Should be gone next week.
49. If this is a 50 Shades of Gray song, I'm afraid to even hear the whole song. (shivers)
48. Please. Drop. NOW. New year, want to hear some better music, don't want to see the booty reign like last year.
47. Don't drop yet!
46. Keep going! Great song!
45. DROP!!!
44. Will be gone next week.
43. Keep going!
42. Will be gone in a week or 2. Only went up b/c of the holidays.
41. Still liking it!
40. Congrats on your first top 40.
39. This song is just like Brave. Spent much more time on the chart than it deserves.
38. Yeah, there we go!
37. Don't stop, keep going!
36. Don't stall again please. Make at least top 30.
35. Only went up because of the year end radio broadcasts and the holidays. Should be gone in a week or two.
34. It went up bec- You get the idea.
33. Don't let the 10 second clip fool you. This is actually a good song.
32. At least make top 30.
31. This song is done.
30. Should be gone in 2 or 3 weeks.
29. I think this will last 30 weeks.
28. Same for this song.
27. It's slow pace will get it to top 25 at best.
26. Don't know if this is a serious song or not, but either way, it's ANNOYING!!!
25. Meh...
24. I think this could last a year possibly.
23. This song goes up, but hey, look on the bright side! That singer is now in jail! HA!!!
22. These 2 songs...
21. ...are done for sure.
20. This will last 40 weeks probably.
19. A little annoying, but still not too bad.
18. Same goes for this song.
17. Oh for crying out loud! Go down already!
16. Keep going up!
15. Whatever you do... DO NOT HIT TOP 10!
14. About damn time!!!
13. Won't see the top 10 again, calling it right now.
12. Look what we have here, side by side on the Hot 100. The boyfriend of...
11. ...this singer. Note: She spent an impressive 34 weeks in a row in the top 10 before this song dropped out of the top 10. Not bad!
10. Now that I think about it, couldn't we have just kept the streak going a little more?! Why do you have to be #10?!
9. AND WHY ARE YOU BACK IN THE TOP 10?!
8. Please fall out of the top 10 as well.
7. NO!!! Please go back to the top 5!!!
6. You as well! Why are you 2 out? Oh I see why... it's because of...
5. ...THIS SONG!!! (imitating Michael Scott) NO GOD!!! NO GOD PLEASE NO!!! NO, NO!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!
4. Judge me all you want, but this song is a lot better than #5. And I like it. ("Oh, you just went on a rant about #5, now you suddenly like her here?) Yeah, I can already see those comments coming unless one of you out there thinks the same way about the 2.
3. OK, back to the countdown. Looks like this will join the list of #2's that never reached #1.
2. Congrats on a well deserved #2. Before I got into mainstream music and top 40 radio in late 2012, oldies and classics were all I listened to. And this is the song that has come the closest to the songs I remember growing up. It won't be the end of the world if this ranking is as high as it goes, but...
1. ...if it can just edge out this song for at least a week, that would be excellent! Looking forward to what 2015 has in store for us, except if it will be a repeat of the booty and pointless rap songs galore.

Alright, second week of 2015, here we go!

Good: Uptown Funk is the new #1, Thinking Out Loud is back in the top 5, Centuries climbs ever closer to the top 10, I don't mind is now top 30, Time of our Lives went up, Ghost is up, Stolen Dance went up, and Talladega made top 50. Outside the top 50, Sun Daze, I Lived, GDFR, I see you, Perfect Storm, Prayer in C, She Knows, Till it's gone, Style, and Something Big all went up. Also Outside re-entered.

Confused: Why is Stay with Me back in the top 20 and why is Magic! rudely disturbing the Top 30 again? (See what I did there? )

Bad: Shake it Off is rebounding, Waves is done, Hot Boy is showing no signs of falling off the chart any time soon and neither is CoCo, the biggest celebrity douche currently is at #35 (with Paul McCarthy of all people), Heroes is down, Anaconda is still on the chart, Dangerous isn't making any gains and neither is In Your Arms, and Break the Rules is gone.

Opinions:

100. All right, I got this... Looks like...
99. ...we've got ourselves a lot of newcomers...
98. ...and they all ain't too bad.
97. A guy walks into the bar... and I don't wanna know the rest.
96. Yay, this song's back!
95. I liked Beachin' last year!
94. Will be gone next week.
93. Meh...
92. Oh God, another one of these songs?
91. DOWN YOU GO!!!
90. Welcome back!
89. Gone in 2 weeks.
88. Will be gone in 5 weeks.
87. Gone next week.
86. Meh...
85. Was last week luck for this song? Cause it isn't going to get top 50 if it doesn't get any more luck.
84. I kinda suspect Meghan's going to make this her next single. Look at how good it's doing without it being official.
83. Good song!
82. Meh...
81. AND DOWN YOU GO!!!
80. Let's see how far you go this time.
79. Gone in 2 weeks.
78. Meh...
77. This ain't bad.
76. Meh...
75. Love...
74. ...seeing...
73. ...some new...
72. ...country here!
71. Well... when this become an official single?
70. Good you went up in points, but you need to go back up the chart.
69. Meh...
68. Yeah, there we go!
67. Don't think this'll crack top 50.
66. Should make top 50.
65. Bye-bye! Time's up!
64. Gone in 3 weeks.
63. Meh...
62. Good song.
61. Keep going!
60. Yes! Keep going!
59. No, no, AND... NO.
58. Was easy the first time around to find success, it isn't working well this time around.
57. Keep going!
56. Keep 'er movin'!
55. Predicting this'll be in the 90's in week 20.
54. Yes!
53. YEAH!!!
52. Meh...
51. Almost top 50!
50. SEE YA!
49. If you can make a big airplay gain, surely you could make top 40 or better! Keep going!
48. GET. THE. F**K. OUT!!!
47. YOU AS WELL!!!!
46. If Top 40's all you make, it wouldn't be the end of the world, but great song!
45. Good. You survived a scare.
44. Congrats on a good 30 week run at least!
43. 2 good songs that had their share at #1 on the Country chart...
42. ...but maybe you could let Talladega reign a bit?
41. Almost top 40!
40. Will be gone in a week or 2.
39. Why are you still stalling?!
38. Not liking its sales, but I better make the most of it while I can.
37. You're getting a little annoying now Sia, your time is up!
36. Could make 30 weeks, but it's give or take right now.
35. HORRIBLE!!! And why did Paul McCarthy of all people collab with him?!
34. Might make top 30, but that's all it'll make I think.
33. Keep going!
32. Might make it to 21-23 weeks I'd say.
31. For the 2nd week in a row...
30. ...all 3 of these songs...
29. ...are right next to each other.
28. Keep slaying Usher!
27. Why you gotta be so rude Magic!? Don't you know your time is up? Why you gotta be so rude? Other songs are trying to go up.
26. Oye...
25. Oye!
24. Meh...
23. 30 weeks on the board.
22. 20 weeks, nicely done.
21. They had a good run, but their third single is terrible.
20. Oye... how long will this song go?
19. How is SS going up again?
18. Not bad, but not great.
17. Still have to see the movie.
16. Who's looking forward to seeing the day that the last of Minaj's songs fall off the chart?
15. Oh come on! Go down, you're time is up!
14. Still going off my prediction last week, won't see the top 10 again.
13. Keep slaying FOB!!!
12. For a second straight week...
11. ...it's the cutest celebrity couple side by side outside the top 10.
10. Hopefully, you'll let one of them back in the top 10 next week.
9. Still an OK song, not the best song to see in the top 10.
8. Oh no, go back up!
7. Why are you going up again?!
6. And YOU... should've been out of the top 10 a LONG TIME AGO.
5. If Bass stays in the top 10 one more week, I might end up not liking this song either.
4. YES!!! Back in the top 5!
3. This song is done, only a matter of time now before it's downfall begins.
2. At long last, T-Swift's reign is over and so, that ends the woman's 19 week reign on the Hot 100.
1. FINALLY!!! Welcome back to the summit Bruno Mars! And welcome to the top Mark Rowson! I can already tell this is going to be one of the top 5 songs of 2015, if not the #1 song of the year!

[Deleted]

79. I've been told this is a good song, and after a thorough listen, I might have to agree.
78. Not bad!
77. Yes!
76. YES!!! Keep going!
75. Meh...
74. Good song!
73. Good song!
72. This is looking to be like Dark Horse, made a good run without it being an official single, then once it became one, it shot right up to #1.
71. Heard the whole song for the first time this week, not bad!
70. Figured it wouldn't do so great...
69. This will drop before it reaches 20.
68. I've heard better...
67. Meh...
66. Good song!
65. Meh...
64. 10 down, 10 left.
63. This song would be alright if Snoop wasn't in it...
62. Keep going!
61. Good news: Anaconda's GONE!!! Bad news: Nicki still has songs on the Hot 100.
60. Will be gone in 2 weeks.
59. Should crack top 50.
58. Gone in 2 weeks.
57. Don't know if it'll crack top 50.
56. Keep going!
55. This song is done.
54. You're such a joke...
53. Should crack top 50!!!
52. Will crack top 50 soon.
51. Also will crack top 50 soon.
50. Make top 40 at least!
49. Great job, made the top 50!
48. This song is done.
47. GET OUT!!!
46. Will be gone in a week or two.
45. I know this is a soundtrack song, but this is great!
44. Keep going!
43. Still alive.
42. Called it!
41. Prediction: It'll spend more than 20 weeks on the Hot 100.
40. So-so tbh with ya.
39. Not bad, but this song is done.
38. This song will last another week at best.
37. Should reach 30 weeks now.
36. So should this so- wait a minute! Haven't these 2 songs been side by side now for the past 3 weeks?!
35. Will go back up, not worried!
34. To the top 20 or top 10 you go! Great song that deserves the upper ranks!
33. Still surprised this song has lasted this long!
32. 20-22 weeks. Calling it right now.
31. FINALLY!!! You almost made top 30...
30. ...but this song is still relevant apparently. Why is this still doing well?!
29. GET OUT!!!
28. Almost to the top 20, make top 10 if you can!
27. 30+ weeks down, should make it to 35 weeks.
26. If this doesn't make top 25, I'll be happy.
25. Finally... about time you meet your downfall!
24. 40 weeks looks very possible.
23. Keep slaying Usher!
22. Still staying alive in the top 25 I see.
21. 40 weeks down. A year looks very possible.
20. Back in the top 20 I see...
19. OK song I guess...
18. Still doing well!
17. Too bad this isn't an official single, but it's great excluding the video!
16. Why are YOU still relevant?!
15. Hoping it'll make top 10 eventually!
14. Has this song been getting airplay? That would be the only reason for this song doing well. I think it's a great song and this will most likely follow the path "Let it Go" took: making top 5 solely on streaming and sales.
13. Still don't think it'll see the top 10 again.
12. I can see Big Sean making top 10 next week or in 2...
11. ...if it can beat this song...
10. ...this s**t...
9. ... and this overrated song.
8. That's exactly what Ariana did this week.
7. Not bad, but not great. But congrats on reaching a new peak.
6. Don't think this'll make top 3.
5. Yes! Welcome back to the top 5 Sam Smith!
4. This is the best song of his career and I want to see him shoot for the summit. I can definitely see this song going to #2 in a few weeks because...
3. ...this song is for sure done...
2. ...and so is this one...
1. ...but the only question for Ed is, how strong of a #1 will this be? Don't get me wrong, I still think Uptown Funk is the best song on the charts currently, but Thinking Out Loud deserves at least a week at #1. Won't worry about it now, congrats on another week at the summit Bruno and Mark!

83. Not bad.
82. So-so.
81. That didn't last long.
80. Not doing that well I see...
79. 18 weeks. Calling it right now.
78. Done.
77. Good song!
76. Good song.
75. This song is done.
74. Good song.
73. (groans) Bad song, then a good song, then a terrible song.
72. Called it!
71. (facepalm) OUT!!!
70. Great song!
69. This is done I think.
68. Keep going!
67. As expected.
66. Keep...
65. ...going up...
64. ...and make top 50 (again)!
63. Keeping it alive? Or will they fail?
62. As expected.
61. Should make top 50.
60. So-so to me.
59. Don't like all sex songs, but this is so-so.
58. Compared to the other garbage Minaj put out there, this is OK.
57. KEEP GOING DOWN!!!
56. Keep 'er movin!
55. Keep 'er movin!
54. Made it to the chart I see... but why did Paul McCartney collab with them?!
53. This is growing on me fast.
52. So is this song.
51. And this one already has.
50. See ya!
49. Good! Keep rebounding!
48. See ya!
47. See ya!
46. Figured it wouldn't last that long.
45. See ya!
44. All these songs...
43. ...have the potential...
42. ...except this one...
41. ...to make the top 40. Hoping Luke and Eric do just that!
40. Made top 40!
39. Oh no! Don't tell me you just peaked!
38. Yes! Keep slaying!
37. A vid will give it a chance to go for the #1.
36. Should make it to 35 weeks.
35. Calling a big drop next week. Too bad it didn't hit top 30.\
34. Keep slaying!
33. Should've been out about 8 weeks ago...
32. Grammys should help this song rebound.
31. 30 last week, peaked at 30, now 31 in its 31st week. Not bad.
30. Made it to 35...
29. Should make it to 25.
28. Down you go!
27. YES!!! Great song!
26. Should make it to 45.
25. Called it!
24. Gained in points, not worried.
23. GTFO!!!
22. Called it!
21. Almost top 20!
20. Whoa! This should be an official single somewhere, this could do well!
19. Meh...
18. Down you go!
17. NO!!!
16. I think this is done already.
15. So is this song.
14. Almost top 10!
13. Once again...
12. ...the cutest couple side by side.
11. FINALLY!!! OUT OF THE TOP 10!!!
10. FINALLY!!! IN THE TOP 10!!!
9. I think this'll last 25-30 weeks.
8. Done.
7. Done.
6. Love it! Just saw the vid for this! Hopefully next week you can...
5. ...top this overrated, old song...
4. ...this now old song...
3. ...and this song that should be falling.
2. Locked in. Still a great song.
1. Locked in. The best song in a long time!

[Deleted]

Observations/Opinions:

Well... it's the week that the Grammys affect the Hot 100. And right off the bat...

100. ...I'm noticing a lot...
99. ...of new entries here...
98. ...and a re-entry by this superb band!
97. More new songs...
96. ...and another one...
95. ...but none appeal to me that much though.
94. NO! Go up!
93. Back again I see, but Centuries is better.
92. GO UP!
91. And of course, the other big story this week: Drake's "Beyonce" album. This song ain't appealing to me at first.
90. Good, fall.
89. You as well.
88. Also not that appealing.
87. Meh...
86. Interesting fact if you didn't already know: Drake's latest album...
85. ...was the most streamed on Spotify in its first week available.
84. See ya!
83. Not bad.
82. Meh...
81. Meh...
80. Before you all focus on the changes this week, don't forget... This song's going straight to the top 25.
79. See ya!
78. Almost over. It's almost over.
77. It's alright.
76. Great song!
75. (groans)
74. Keep going!
73. Should be gone in 2 weeks.
72. That was quick.
71. Not bad.
70. Keep 'er going!
69. Not bad!
68. Fun while it lasted.
67. Good song.
66. Good song.
65. Meh...
64. Meh...
63. Keep going!
62. See ya. :(
61. Still going at 18...
60. Seeing a pattern here...
59. Go up!
58. Keep going!
57. Keep going!
56. Keep going!
55. Even, but not gaining...
54. Still alive to hit top 50 perhaps?
53. IDFWY was so damn catchy, but this? Not as much.
52. That was quick.
51. This ain't done yet.
50. I don't think one is done either.
49. I hope this becomes his first single from IYRTNITL. This is GREAT!
48. A little annoying now.
47. See ya.
46. You need to be higher...
45. ...than this a**hole (Btw, I'm referring to Kayne West, not Paul McCarthy.)
44. Go up!
43. Good song.
42. Hit at least top 40!
41. Better get used to this song.
40. Almost gone.
39. So is this one.
38. Still alive!
37. This isn't as bad as I initially thought.
36. Keep going! To the top 30!
35. Still alive!
34. This is going to be between 60-80 when it reaches 20.
33. Should reach top 30.
32. Still alive!
31. Good. Going down...
30. ...like you 2 should.
29. Still gaining!
28. Still gaining I see.
27. Hope #4 does as well as the first 3.
26. DIE MOTHERF**KER!!!
25. Still alive and now higher than #26!
24. It gained, not worried.
23. Meh...
22. (groans) Time for another successful NM song I guess...
21. Should last 25 weeks at least.
20. 20 at 41? This is lasting around 50 weeks.
19. This should also last 25 weeks.
18. Good luck Chains!
17. And so the downfall officially begins! FINALLY!!!
16. Still gaining, is this not done...?
15. This is officially done as well.
14. These 2 aren't done yet...
13. ...they still gained points...
12. It's title says it all. A new peak at #12? It truly "earned it."
11. Tq: What was the last song over 40 weeks to make a return to the top 15 after making a top 3 run?
10. Just like we all thought. To the Top 5 you go! You should...
9. ...easily top this song...
8. ...and this song...
7. ...and your 2nd single next week.
6. Hope this reaches top 5! Keep slaying EG!
5. Still loving this song!
4. But this song? Not as much.
3. This is going to be lasting at least 40 weeks.
2. Well, you came so close to that #1! As much as I love Uptown Funk...
1. ...you deserved at least 1 week at the summit. But #2 is nothing to sneeze at! Unlike Anaconda, you deserved that #2!

For March 14, 2015:

Observations/Opinions:

Well, I wasn't here last week because of midterms (college is always a big priority). I would've had a field day with Drake's 14 songs in the Hot 100 last week, only a few are good. I can tell you for a fact...

100. ...this isn't one of them.
99. Meh...
98. Meh...
97. Big Sean, you're right, one man can change the world, but you aren't one of them.
96. Almost out! Yay!
95. Meh...
94. This is officially a flop.
93. Meh...
92. Meh...
91. This fell WAY too fast. :(
90. Too many...
89. ...new artists.
88. Never really liked this anyways.
87. Not too bad.
86. Gone in 2 weeks.
85. There we go! Back on track!
84. Meh...
83. Another T-Swift song that isn't a single?
82. Meh...
81. Predicting it'll drop at 17 or 18 weeks.
80. Too many Big Sean songs...
79. Don't fall yet!
78. This is not too bad.
77. This is Trey's new single it seems.
76. Not a big fan of this song.
75. Meh...
74. Knew the burn rate of this song would be high.
73. Meh...
72. (groans)
71. (groans even more)
70. This won't reach top 50 at the rate it's going.
69. Gone in 2 weeks.
68. See ya!
67. Another high burn rate song.
66. Hey, Kid Rock's back!
65. Don't know if this'll crack top 50 yet.
64. Keep going!
63. Meh...
62. Go go go!
61. Falling fast just like I predicted.
60. It's gaining, but it's at 20 weeks.
59. Make top 50 at least!
58. They should be back in the top 50 soon.
57. Down for the count.
56. Keep going Tove Lo!
55. Keep going!
54. Should make top 50.
53. Also should make top 50.
52. This is still alive it seems.
51. That didn't take long.
50. See ya!
49. Don't get too excited. This ain't gonna be in the top 50 long.
48. Good song! Glad it reached top 50 at least.
47. (groans) Just when you thought this song would be a hit.
46. Top 50!
45. KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
44. Why Sia? Why are you falling?
43. Keep going! Make top 40!
42. This could make top 40, don't know if it will though.
41. This is dropping either next week or in 2.
40. I wanna see this become an official single, this ain't too bad.
39. Gone in 2 weeks.
38. I think this'll be done in 2-3 weeks as well.
37. Don't flop, keep going!
36. Hate it.
35. FALL!!!
34. Keep going!
33. Still going strong, don't fall to your death yet.
32. Make top 30!
31. Meh...
30. Made it to the top 30!
29. NO!!!
28. YES!!!
27. NO!!!
26. This is definitely lasting a year now.
25. Top 25!
24. Keep going!
23. Still going strong.
22. This should be falling now.
21. Around 35 weeks is its chart life. Calling it right now.
20. Around 30 weeks is its chart life as well. Also calling this right now.
19. Made it to top 20!
18. Good, now fall quickly.
17. Never was a fan of Selena, never will. But Zedd never fails to impress me and Selena's OK in this song.
16. (facepalm) Somebody tell me what got this to the top 20?
15. I can see this lasting 30-35 weeks.
14. Whatever you do, do not hit top 10.
13. 30-35 weeks will be its chart life.
12. If only this had a video, this would've been a top 10 hit already.
11. Good, Megan's finally out of the top 10!
10. Made it to top 10!
9. Stay strong in the top 10, you "earned it." :)
8. So... Ariana and Megan both had good runs in the top 10...
7. ...how long will T-Swift go?
6. Should fall to Style next week.
5. Still not a huge fan of this.
4. I'm not worried, this ain't done yet. But it deserves #3...
3. ...more than this song...
2. ...and I still believe that it will top this song soon...
1. ...and one day, this song as well.

[Deleted]

Observations/Opinions:

100. Thank God you two...
99. ...are almost gone!
98. Gone next week.
97. Not a dubstep fan, but JB actually makes this a good song.
96. Meh...
95. ...to all these...
94. ...songs.
93. OK I guess...
92. This is their 3rd single?
91. Meh...
90. See ya.
89. 10 weeks, and it still hasn't left the cellar of the Hot 100.
88. Meh...
87. Meh...
86. Meh...
85. Going up!
84. Keep going!

82. That didn't last long...
81. See ya!
80. Doesn't surprise me...
79. Meh...
78. Keep going!
77. Meh...
76. Honestly, Luke Bryan needs to make a new album. Should he release a 7th single, it'll only last even shorter.
75. Showing gains, but not an official single.
74. Keep going!
73. Meh...
72. This ain't too bad!
71. More Swift, another 1 and done for her.
70. OH... this went up?
69. 80's at 20. Calling it right now.
68. Meh...
67. 67 at 15 ain't gonna get you to the top 50.
66. Meh...
65. Meh...
64. Oye...
63. Gone in 4.
62. Nooooo....
61. Keep going!
60. Meh...
59. Meh...
58. See ya in the top 30 next week!
57. Meh...
56. Make top 50 at least!
55. KEEP FALLING.
54. Still alive in the 50's...
53. Keep going!
52. Keep going!
51. Still hoping this becomes a single.
50. Figured this was done.
49. See ya!
48. Welcome back CRJ! Love seeing JB and Tom Hanks in your music video!
47. Not too bad...
46. Didn't take long for them to return to the top 50.
45. Why are you flopping?!
44. Meh...
43. See ya!
42. Meh...
41. Should last another week...
40. ...or two.
39. Made top 40!
38. This is going back up next week.
37. Unfortunately, this looks to be done.
36. Keep going!
35. Good. Keep falling.
34. Why are you a flop?!
33. This is going to be close to making it a year...
32. Why are you a flop as well?!
31. Top 30 next week!
30. Oye vey... His next single...
29. ...it shouldn't do better than this.
28. As expected.
27. Predicting it'll fall short of top 20.
26. FALL!!!
25. Top 25!
24. Should make it at least 35 weeks easily.
23. Finally!
22. To the top 20 you go next week!
21. Hopefully, it'll go further.
20. Still top 20!
19. Welcome to the top 20!
18. Still going strong...
17. ...I see?
16. Still going strong as welll!
15. NOOO!!!!
14. Hopefully, this is as far as it goes.
13. This is lasting 25-30 weeks.
12. If anything, this is better than Hot Boy.
11. Hopefully, you'll block out #12...
10. ...and even knock this out of the top 10.
9. This should make at least #8.
8. See this falling to #9 next week.
7. Keep going!
6. Keep going!
5. OK, still not really liking it though.
4. Well unfortunately, this may not reach #1 now...
3. ...as it is looking like this'll become the next #1.
2. Enjoy #2 while you can.
1. 10 weeks! Well earned!

[Deleted]

Observations/Opinions:

100. Never was a fan of Wiz.
99. Finally! Go Carrie!
98. Meh...
97. Meh...
96. Finally! Hope this is just as successful.
95. ...
94. Luke's 7th single?
93. Keep going!
92. Meh...
91. I've never seen a song last 11 weeks and never go higher than 89.
90. Meh...
89. Gone next week.
88. Meh...
87. Not as bad as I initially thought.
86. As I expected.
85. Better than her first 2 singles.
84. Wish this could do better...
83. Meh...
82. Dropping in the 90's.
81. Don't think this'll make it to 20.
80. Meh...
79. Wish they'd make this an official single.
78. Meh...
77. This will make a good gain next week.
76. Meh...
75. Gone in 3.
74. Meh...
73. Should make it to 20.
72. Keep going!
71. Now liking this song.
70. As expected.
69. Meh...
68. Kinda feared this'd flop.
67. This is done unfortunately.
66. Meh...
65. Song is done.
64. Meh...
63. This is going to be close at the rate it's going.
62. Meh...
61. NO!
60. Gone in 2.
59. Lil Wayne's version is just as bad.
58. Keep going!
57. Keep going!
56. This is done.
55. To the top 50!
54. Still doing OK.
53. This is going to be close as well.
52. How long has this been in the 50's?
51. GOOD. Keep going down.
50. See ya!
49. It's music vid is the reason for its gradual fall.
48. Made it to the top 50!
47. See ya!
46. Made it to top 50!
45. Oh great, just great... He's back.
44. See ya.
43. Meh...
42. Still doing well!
41. This should make top 40 next week.
40. Made it to 30, probably has a few weeks left.
39. Yup, this is officially done.
38. Shows a little bit of life, this could make it to 40.
37. Peaking around 35, and falling fast. Calling it right now.
36. This will drop in the 60's.
35. Still too early to tell how this song will end up.
34. 3 to go!
33. I think this'll last 28-30 weeks.
32. 30 weeks is my new guess now.
31. Welcome back Mufford and Sons!
30. Hate to say this, but 21 I think will be it's high point.
29. 23-25 weeks is my prediction for this song.
28. Too early to predict the full life of this song.
27. Still going strong!
26. Done for sure.
25. Also done for sure, but great run!
24. This is going to spend some good time in the top 30, don't know about top 15 yet.
23. This might crack top 20 now.
22. 30 weeks... This is going to last another 10 weeks at least at this rate... down up, down down up, etc...
21. I sense this could make a run at the top 10! That'd be GREAT!
20. This could also make a worthy run!
19. Still predicting around 35 weeks.
18. Not sure if this'll hit top 10 or not, it's gonna be close at this rate.
17. As expected.
16. Done for sure, just like graveyard63 said: "Don't Tell 'Em 2.0"
15. This is going to challenge the top 10 soon!
14. And I hope to God THIS doesn't!
13. This is going to hit top 10, it's in a good position to do so.
12. Y'know... I'm starting to wonder... could Shake it Off last longer than Blank Space...?
11. Great top 10 run there...
10. ...really wish this s**t didn't knock you out.
9. This is going to peak at #8...
8. ...because this will go right back down. But congrats to Sam Smith for his 3rd top 10!
7. #6 is its peak.
6. I can see this or #5 being its peak...
5. ...because this ain't going anywhere...
4. ...neither is this...
3. ...and this song finally ended its 8 week run in the runner up spot.
2. Some people say this is just like Birthday. Y'know what? They're right...
1. ...4 deserves that next #1 more than you do. And as for this song, this is making it to 12 weeks, not sure if it'll hit 13.

2015 Hot 100 Observations/Opinions:

100. Nice to see this made the cut. Not a bad way to start off the countdown.
99. Drake did a fine job this year, but I don't like this at all.
98. Say what you say about 1D, but I actually like this song.
97. Great to see this make the cut too.
96. The first song ever that did not crack the top 50, but still made the cut. Impressive, but unfortunately this is bit of a mediocre song to me.
95. Glad to see this also make the cut. Never gets too old for me, still love it.
94. Expect this to make the 2016 cut too. Very good message, lyrics, and song overall. She's got good potential to stay in the industry for a while.
93. Excellent song overall!
92. Made this year's cut too. Still love it.
91. I've heard better from her, but it's OK.
90. Another 2014 hit that made it here. Still love it.
89. Excellent song, good vocals, sad this didn't go any higher.
88. Meh, it's not horrible, but it's not great.
87. Can say the same for this too. C'mon Luke, you can do better.
86. Another meh song to me. Was catchy at first, but quickly burned out.
85. Great song.
84. Was not into this at first, but I surprisingly began to like this much more as time progressed.
83. Awful. Terrible. End of story.
82. OK song overall, not something I'd listen to again though.
81. Great song. Too bad Billboard didn't credit John Legend too. The remix made it twice as good.
80. This quickly burned out on me.
79. Horrible song.
78. Great song overall. Never knew Jennifer Lawrence could sing well.
77. Nice to see this make the 2015 chart too. Loved hearing more of her songs this year, especially Moments and the other song you'll hear my opinion later on...
76. One of only two songs I really like from Meghan Trainor. The other's in this countdown.
75. Well, well, well. What are the odds that we'd be hearing Meghan Trainor...
74. ...in three straight positions at a time? Both 75 and 74 are meh btw.
73. Very catchy, nice to see this rebound later in its run and make the top 10.
72. Terrible song.
71. Loved seeing this make a good run on the chart for 40+ weeks, but sad to see this barely make top 30 and be this low. :(
70. Rae's only tolerable song for me, but still not that great.
69. Not great at all for me.
68. Nice second single from Nick Jonas' self titled album.
67. Overall, good song. But because of the donut controversy, I don't see her having a big 2016. Focus is already flopping.
66. Pulse loved it, I didn't really like it. But it was catchy for a time.
65. More confession time: This is actually a good song.
64. Meh...
63. Enjoyable song for me, wasn't expecting something like this to come from LBT.
62. First song I liked hearing from her. But nice to see that her and Bieber have done well in their careers afterwards. Both aren't bad artists anymore.
61. Couldn't escape its catchiness, but still, it's not a great song at all.
60. Great second single from FOB's latest album.
59. Very catchy, good song overall.
58. Its burn rate was a bit high for me, but still, enjoyable to listen to.
57. T-Swift definitely had a big year, but believe it or not, for me, this compared to her other 1989 singles is meh. Still good song though.
56. Ah, yes. The song that sparked The Weeknd's superb 2015 year. Love it.
55. If you can get past the lyrics, you'll find this is actually not a bad song.
54. Who knew something as small as a Jeep commercial would spark this song's big and long run to the top 20? Great job X Ambassadors!
53. Not a fan of its hidden lesbian message, but not a bad song overall.
52. Excellent song in almost every way. Wish The Weeknd and Diplo were also credited, they made this song much more enjoyable as well.
51. Not of fan of this song at all...
50. ...or this song...
49. ...or this song...
48. ...or that song too...
47. ...and this one, although I will admit it was very catchy at the beginning.
46. Also quickly burned on me.
45. Great message, great song overall. Sam Hunt definitely had a good year.
44. Not bad at all.
43. Still love this.
42. Meh, it OK. I still don't know why Paul McCartney collabed with those two.
41. Very catchy, it's an alright song overall.
40. Excellent song.
39. Very catchy, this doesn't compare to Give Me Everything, but it's still alright to me.
38. Overall, not bad.
37. Sad to see this only get Top 40, this deserved higher.
36. After multiple tries, he finally got a song to radio. And it was a great song from Handwritten too. Good job Shawn Mendes!
35. Incredible song from Adele. This will rank high in 2016 too and next year will definitely be her year.
34. Good song from Ed, but I've heard better from him.
33. Also an incredibly good song. A lot of us guys can relate, girls are a mystery sometimes to figure out. Good job Justin, I think 2016 will be another great year for him too.
32. Very catchy and upbeat, good song.
31. Also very catchy and upbeat, good song,
30. Excellent song from Drake.
29. Deserved to make top 5, great song.
28. Still hate it to this day. Luckily, after this year, we won't see it again.
27. Surprisingly, good song from Selena.
26. Excellent second single from Sam Smith.
25. It sounds simplistic and a bit cheesy, but it has a very good message: Stay true to your lover, don't cheat on him/her.
24. Meh, it's OK. This didn't deserve to be top 25 though.
23. Fifth Harmony's best song so far, great work.
22. The other Meghan Trainor song I like.
21. Meh, I don't like it.
20. Great song for everyone struggling with depression or going through a hard time.
19. At the beginning of the year, it seemed like Justin was going to fade away. But this song sparked his amazing comeback. It is such a good song, powerful lyrics, great vocals, almost everything is great about it. I'm not a fan, but I still saw some good in him and I'm glad he was able to prove it for the most part of this year. Btw, if he releases Love Yourself, it could potentially be his defining song and do well in 2016.
18. Got annoying after a little while to listen to. My least favorite single off 1989.
17. Not too bad, I've heard better from him though.
16. This deserved top 10. Great lyrics, great beats, great song.
15. Remix made this very enjoyable to listen to, good song overall.
14. I have mixed feelings about this song, since I am religious, but not for gay rights. But it's an OK song.
13. Also shoulda made top 10. Great job Ellie, great song overall.
12. Very good song overall.
11. Wasn't a big fan of this, but it's an alright song.
10. His best song from BBTM, excellent song overall.
9. Personally, I think 9 and 13 should be swapped, but nevertheless, great song.
8. I was never a fan of this song, nor will I ever be, but this got much more hate than it deserved.
7. Hands down T-Swift's best song. Great song overall.
6. Very energetic song to listen to, great to see this last a full calendar year and great song overall.
5. This and Birthday are basically the same song. And these were released as the third and fourth singles respectively. This got to #2 and the other got to #17. Unbelievable, but nevertheless, this is an OK song.
4. Didn't like this at first, but it's a bit tolerable to me now.
3. RIP Paul Walker. Incredible song, and it can be very emotional to listen to, that's how powerful its lyrics are.
2. Sad this didn't get to see #1, but great to see it do so well. Hands down Ed Sheeran's best song.
1. I'm silently cursing Billboard for their new recurrent rule for the top 25, this deserved every single week it was on the Hot 100 and I'm glad this also got to the Top 10 greatest hits of all time. Great song in every way possible, it reminded me of the classics and oldies I used to listen to when I was younger as well. Nobody else deserved #1 this year except this.
