I don't even remember how it goes, I've heard it like once - I just didn't want any new songs ranking over Mariah. Bah humbug. Tis the season to be sour. 

Ok you don't like the song even though you don't know how it goes. It's obvious that you're crazy about Mariah Carey, but more popular songs will overtake it. That's how the charts work and you have to deal with it.

When did I say I didn't like it? My "hell no" was at the fact that it's making top 5 (over MC). Why are you taking it so personally? Are you Post Malone? FFS TRIM YOUR BEARD!! it just looks dirty

lazer and Enigma. share a win this week to round off the year. They both get 48 inverse points.

All 2018-dated Hot 100 charts have been predicted and fhas wins the Classic Standings for a second year in a row, and by a much larger margin than last year. The inaugural Inverse Points Standings for the year also sees fhas take the crown. Congrats king. The battle for the second place spot ends with Baby Yoda Hot100Fan as runner-up on both Classic and Inverse Points, just as he was on last year's Classic Standings.

There was a total of 98 people participating in predictions at least once this year, a great turnout. Looking forward to a great 2019. The archive of weekly inverse points can be viewed in this document.

[Abbaschand]

I did it. I finished top 15 in the Inverse Standings! I don't know if I can hit top 10 next year with my crappy predictions, but we'll see.

[marc980]

Top 20 in Inverse Standings with only 24 weeks YAAAASSSSSSSS

[Deleted]

Ugh 9 out of 10 right and I still don’t win 😦

[owenlovesmusic]

so close!

[lazer]

Holy sh*t, I did not except to get the whole thing correct lol.

[Enigma.]

YASS what a success!

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

Congrats to everybody on a good year predicting the top 10! I think this year was much trickier due to the late formula change and all those top 10 debuts from albums bombs. I look forward to the predictions for the 2019 dated Hot 100 charts.

[𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿]

#15 in the Classic Standings then #13 in the Inverse Standings. Not bad because I'm in the Top 15 of both and considering I missed only one week of predicting.

[jtd Thee Stallion]

Top 5. Top 5.
