It's a 52 since if it's 53, Anti-Hero would've been in there and Unholy would be higher

But, "Thinking 'Bout You" was not on the list :( At least I do get an "Unholy" sneak

Biggest difference between PositivityMaster48 and the main list was "Last Night Lonely"

Prediction: #100
Official list: #95

[PositivityMaster48]

So I saw the YE.. and I got 63/100 songs correctly predicted with my biggest miss being Last Night Lonely by 5 spots.
Predicted: #100
Correct Spot: #95

[𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿]

I already made the playlist earlier in the day, just edited when the official list came out:

[Groovy]

I want to know what the 101-110 songs were.

[Abbaschand]

Without a doubt, my worst predictions yet.

Songs in my Top 100 that missed it:
84. Son of a Sinner
89. Left and Right
92. Sleazy Flow
93. The Family Madrigal
95. Unstoppable
96. Betty
97. Light Switch
99. Beers On Me

Songs outside my Top 100 that made it:
101. Unholy
105. Flower Shops
107. Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
109. All Too Well
111. Circles Around This Town
116. S** L**** I*
122. Jingle Bell Rock
127. A Holly Jolly Christmas

I still don't know what to do about those Christmas songs, man...And those songs that didn't peak in The 50 are very hard to calculate, too. Still gonna do my predictions next year, but just know that my predictions will always be worst than y'all's predictions.

Yay To The Moon made it.

Can’t wait to see how high of an SD Unholy will have on the Rankdown.

[El Superdactyl]

They’re Out! It’s a little disappointing that As It Was didn’t land the top spot.🙁

Again, here are all the streaks coming to an end this year,

• Marshmello
• Jonas Brothers
• Chris Brown
• Dan + Shay
• Cardi B
• Billie Eilish
• Maroon 5

I don't know if I'm missing anyone else. 

One other person I missed on this is DaBaby

[joshtheking]

Imma be honest since predictions are mostly so accurate I find myself being less excited these days for when the year end actually comes out lol. Nice to see Maren sneak in though

[HamedM1 💔]

I can die happy knowing Circles Around This Town, She's All I Wanna Be, and All Too Well made the cut. A shame Betty ended up missing though but thats a sacrifice I'll take.

You can make the argument Broadway Girls and All Too Well don't really qualify, but even so, that'd be 25 and a full quarter of the list. Definitely a strong year for country music on the Hot 100. Both in quantity and quality imo.

[312999]

The first video is out of the full 100 songs that made it!

I didn't think Unholy was gonna make the YE, now I need to change my worst of 2022 list.

Its in the games forum, we rank songs from favorite to least favorite. The thread for the 2022 Rankdown is not yet made, but eventually will be.

LMFAO it got made right after this post.

So basically on the forum itself we have a Games board, we host usually a bunch of different music related games. Rankdowns are a game where we all rank a list of songs from our favorite to least favorite, send the list to the host of that respective rankdown in a private message, and then the host will eventually at the end of a due date compile together results of all the lists they received and reveal from last place to first place the rankings of each song.

So every year its Pulse tradition now to rank the Hot 100 year end chart of the year to find out Pulse's collective thoughts towards the year end chart and see which song will ultimately be crowned as the favorite song of the year by Pulse.

The rankdown is now open! Come join us :)

[ilikemilk]

What a joke, did they really have to rig it to include Unholy to make the year end list? 

What makes people like that song, everything annoys me about it. Worst thing by Sam Smith ever.

[rainie]

was hoping for betty or either of the charlie puth songs (that's a sentence i never thought i'd say lmao) to make it but we got unholy, all too well, flower shops, and to a lesser extent to the moon so i'll take it !

as always my hats off to all the predictors around here, can't imagine how much work it takes n y'all did a great job as always. onto 2023 !

[scrohr424]

Well, it's here. How about that. Quick notes:
-I was surprised to see First Class as high as it was. Its collapse was aided by a bunch of album bombs, so #6 feels rather high. It's the highest song here that was 100% 2022 (dropped and debuted in the year, then left in the middle of the chart year).
-About Damn Time, on the other hand, I thought for sure it would be in the Top 10. Guess it didn't have the best staying power.
-I see that Cold Heart was the Congratulations of 2022 - a song that never makes the Top 10 on the weekly charts, but hangs around for an ungodly amount of time and makes the YE Top 10. And that was after wasting quite a few points in 2021.
-I knew there were people who thought All Too Well would be borderline, but to see it make it as comfortably as it did? Color me surprised.
-It's a shame that album bombs killed off the last hope for a handful of songs that peaked low but hung in there (ie Unstoppable, Betty (Get Money), Left and Right, Numb, etcetera).

Holy fuck that’s a lot of country

Definitely would've taken the Charlie Puth songs over Unholy and To The Moon, but I'm really glad Flower Shops and All Too Well made it

I just realized that I’m tied with ChartEssentials for the number of songs correctly predicted according to this. (63)

[312999]

Why do people hate To The Moon so much? It’s a nice catchy song.
