*I'm missing the numbers for a few songs for forgive me if some are blank

Interesting bits:
- Juice WRLD is the most represented artist with 9 songs
- Dakiti is the freshest song on the list, having only 4 weeks under it's belt
- Lil Uzi Vert surprisingly is not represented and Lil Baby only has one credit here on For the Night
- Both Mood and WAP were able to get half a million streams in less than 20 weeks

[xtynaaguilera99]

Savage Remix and the original have 251 and 247 million streams, respectively.

[Groovy]

Can someone please clear up which version of I Hope will be on the year-end list?

I’m presuming it’s the solo version. I don’t think the duet was officially credited until late in the tracking year.

Edit: ...Wait, would this mean that if the duet version makes the 2021 YE, it technically isn’t a YE repeat since it’s a completely different version getting all the tracking weeks?

[spoons]

Lil baby barely had success this year outside of the US. Makes sense he would be dominant on US year end chart but not spotify global.
Maybe that NCT and Baby collab can helpvw that lmao :^)

I think it’s the solo one, because it charted for 40 weeks before Charlie Puth was credited.

[xtynaaguilera99]

I read Year End charts will be out on Friday.

Is that true?

If it is, it makes sense. They also came out on the 4th in 2018.

[mikerivera]

We’ll see, but if it does, it’s almost certain that this will be a 52 week year.

[lenfreak]

i just wanna know if Bang! made it on the year end list just so I can put it on my worst list lmao

Potato, potahto. At this point (at least since the 2018 re-calibration) I think they're always going to aim for around the 5th.

[xtynaaguilera99]

Am I the only one who wants Adore You and The Bones, respectively, at #6 and #12 on the YE, respectively, in order to match their chart peaks?

Gosh, the chart year will keep going back further and further if they don't do a 53 week year soon. Eventually they'll have to go full NBA or NHL and have the chart year officially split between two calendar years.

76: Blinding Lights by The Weeknd

[sirskimask]

If this year isn't gonna be 53 weeks I feel like next year has to be, otherwise in another 10 or so years the chart year will be ending in October which is absolutely ridiculous. 

[dremolus - solarpunk]

Given how many year-end lists are coming out, I'm finalizing my worst hit songs list, wow this year really sucked surprisingly Drake and Doja may miss out on even Dishonorable Mentions and Yummy might not even make my Top 10.

On brighter side, despite how toxic their fanbase is, Dynamite might make my favorite hits

I feel like the next 53-week year will be 2022 at the earliest and 2024 at the latest.

[Groovy]

The 2020 year-end is looking like it's finally out based on TOTC's tweets.

Edit: Here's the top 10

1. Blinding Lights- The Weeknd
2. Circles- Post Malone
3. The Box- Roddy Ricch
4. Don't Start Now- Dua Lipa
5. ROCKSTAR- DaBaby feat. Roddy Ricch
6. Adore You- Harry Styles
7. Life Is Good- Future feat. Drake

9. The Bones- Maren Morris
10. Someone You Loved- Lewis Capaldi

[Groovy]

Here's the year end chart

Lol Someone You Loved finished in the top 10 (I am completely okay with this). Happy for Maren that she finished at #9 as well! :)

[Groovy]

My issue though is how they credit Charlie Puth for I Hope even though the original got more weeks but didn't credit Beyonce for Savage even though that was the more popular.

Honestly, this is probably the best year country music has had on the Hot 100 in a really long time. I can't remember the last time this many country songs made a year end Hot 100, and as a country fan it's awesome. Not to mention women in country are finally getting hits again and most of them are REALLY good. Couldn't be happier.

Side note: lol at Sam Hunt getting the coveted 69 spot. Nice.

Very happy with how my averaged predictions turned out. It nailed all 100 songs, and I think both @delphox and lifeofaguardian themselves predicted all 100 songs to make it correctly! Has that ever happened before on Pulse?

We can probably expect Holy, Lemonade, Positions, and Kings & Queens to make next years unless they have a downfall. BANG and What You Know Bout Love are kind of toss ups. One Beer, Tap In, and Midnight Sky are gonna get screwed over for sure.

And just when you thought Blinding Lights will finally die, he announces he's making a remix to it.
