1. RATCT - Doing significantly better than past years, and always seems to get closer around Christmas. I think this is the year! 2. Anti-Hero - Has a lot of momentum still, should be able to get enough gains on pop radio to secure the Airplay #1 by Christmas. 3. Yes - I'm actually betting that she won't release until just after Christmas (tbh I think she was supposed to release today but called it off, SZA's notorious for being a perfectionist). Charts should be dead thanks to post-Christmas and she has enough hype to get multiple top 10s off an album bomb.

This week's questions (Deadline Thursday, December 8)It's time for the penultimate round of this year's predictors cup! Just 2 questions this week, as it's pretty quiet outside of the usual holiday takeover. Q1: SOSSZA just announced her new album S.O.S. will be releasing on Friday 12/9. She will be competing with a loooot of Christmas music - 20 of the top 40 songs were Christmas-y on last years' comparable chart. Still, she has a lot of momentum with her recent single success, and should also benefit from a lack of other new music. How will her album bomb compare to other big artists this year? - "Midnights" - Taylor Swift - 18 songs in Top 40 on album week
- "Her Loss" - Drake: 15
- "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers" - Kendrick Lamar: 13
- "Harry's House" - Harry Styles: 13
- "I Never Liked You" - Future: 12
- "Un Verano Sin Ti" - Bad Bunny: 12
- "Renaissance" - Beyoncé: 7
How many songs from SZA's "S.O.S" will land in the Top 40 on its debut week? (12/24 chart) Q2: SZA StreamsPick One: How many 1st-week streams will the top-streamed song off SZA's "S.O.S" earn in its debut week? (12/24 chart) A: Less than 20M B: 20-30M C: 30-40M D: 40-50M E: 50M+

enwhy has she revealed the number of songs on her album? If not, are you just leaving it up to us to guess how many there might be and how many of them will make the top 40?

She hasn't said yet - although I would be surprised if she debuted every song in the Top 40. As always, you're free to edit until Thursday night based on any new info!

1. 7. This is a little tough to predict, because though there seems to be huge hype and pent-up demand for her, she's only released one album so far that wasn't gigantic, and though there will be 23 songs on the album, it's the Christmas songs that are really gonna limit her, thus I'm only predicting 7 (if she was releasing Dec. 30 however, my answer would be completely different). 2. C

1. 8 - Sorry, but Christmas is just gonna be way too mean to this.
2. C - Gonna be optimistic here. Christmas may stop it from a high chart position but it won't stop any streams, and there's a lot of hype.

This week's questions (Deadline Thursday, December 15)Welcome to the FINAL week of Predictors Cup questions! Since next week is the 12/31 chart week, we will have officially made it to the end of the 2022 charts. From here on out, I'll post weekly score updates as we close out the last questions. We're gonna play another round of Predict The Peaks: Christmas Edition. For each song, guess what position it will peak at by Jan 7th. This time, points are worth DOUBLE! 50 points go to the closest predictors(s) - or 100 if you guess it exactly!A couple important notes for this round: - This will go through the 1/7/23 chart week, in order to include Christmas week.
- Peaks will be relative to this year only! So if a song has peaked at #1 before, but you think it will land at #3 this year, you should guess #3.
1: "Sleigh Ride" - The RonettesPeaks from each of the last 4 years on the chart (goes older -> newer): - 26 - 21 - 13 - 10 What position will "Sleigh Ride" peak at? (By 1/7 chart)2: "Santa Tell Me" - Ariana GrandeLast 4 years: 17 - 18 What position will "Santa Tell Me" peak at? (By 1/7 chart)3: "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" - Gene AutryLast 4 years: - 16 - 22 - 16 - 19 What position will "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" peak at? (By 1/7 chart)4: "Jingle Bells" - Frank SinatraLast 4 years: 49 - 43 - X - 33 What position will "Jingle Bells" peak at? (By 1/7 chart)5: "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" - Jackson 5Last 4 years: 46 - 41 What position will "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" peak at? (By 1/7 chart)

Hi everyone! Over the next couple of weeks, I will be posting score updates for the remainder of the open questions from throughout the year! Once this is done, we'll have a final ranking for the year. I'll also be able to share some fun stats! Just on update on future plans for this game - I'm not sure yet if this will continue into 2023. It typically takes a couple of hours per week to research & type up questions, and log the predictions/winners for each question. I'm going to see what I can automate here. I also have some other ideas for 2023 that, time-permitting, I will share soon. If I decide not to go through with continuing the game, I'll share my spreadsheet for anyone who may want to continue it! Without further ado, let's time travel back to May 2022, right before Harry Style's huge album bomb. May 19: Exactly how many Top Ten 2010s Artists will be credited on a #1 hit between next week (6/4 chart) and the end of 2022 (12/31 chart)?Ultimately only 2 of the top 2010s artists had a #1 in the second half of the year - Taylor and Drake. Rihanna and Post Malone each made an attempt, but fell short. Some other fun trivia - three top 2000s artists had songs in the top 20 this year: Jay-Z, Britney, and Beyonce! A total of 6 of 10, or 60% got this one right. Congrats to enwhy gikem inverse Limited Edition Music Fan phieaglesfan712 for guessing correctly. Each wins 17 points!May 26: Will Tate McRae have a top 10 hit this year?While "she's all i wanna be" hit the top 10 in Canada, it only reached #44 in the US. Tate did not get a Top 10 this year. A total of 10 of 10, or 100% got this one right. Congrats to 85la Baby Yoda Hot100Fan enwhy gikem @imhappy259 joshtheking kindofbiased Limited Edition livelightning phieaglesfan712 for guessing correctly. Each wins 10 points!Jun 02: Will a country song (eligible for "Hot Country Songs") peak in the top 3 this year (Through the 12/31 chart)?Morgan Wallen made a couple of attempts with "Wasted on You" (#9) and "You Proof" (#5), but ultimately fell short of the top 3. A total of 10 of 13, or 77% got this one right. Congrats to annoymous1 Baby Yoda Hot100Fan 𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿 gikem @imhappy259 joshtheking kindofbiased Limited Edition livelightning phieaglesfan712 for guessing correctly. Each wins 13 points!Jun 23: Will Conan Gray debut a song on the Hot 100 this year (By 12/31 chart)?Most people were wrong on this one! Conan did not end up having any charting songs this year. I'm personally a little sad about this one, but not super surprised. Hopefully Olivia can give him a boot with a collab at some point. A total of 3 of 14, or 21% got this one right. Congrats to enwhy khan phieaglesfan712 for guessing correctly. Each wins 47 points!Jun 30: Which year's Top New Artists (2020 vs 2021) will spend more total weeks in the Top 10 through the end of this year? (7/16-12/31 charts) 2020: Roddy Rich - Pop Smoke - Lewis Capaldi - Rod Wave - Doja Cat 2021: Olivia Rodrigo - The Kid LAROI - Giveon - Pooh Shiesty - 24kGoldnThis was one of my favorite questions! Of course, Doja Cat went ahead and made this no contest. Also, this wasn't really a strong year for new artists. Here's a tally, in case there was any doubt: Doja Cat - 13 weeks Everyone Else - 0 weeks A total of 10 of 13, or 77% got this one right. Congrats to Baby Yoda Hot100Fan enwhy 𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿 @imhappy259 joshtheking kindofbiased Limited Edition livelightning phieaglesfan712 renfield75 for guessing correctly. Each wins 13 points!Jul 21: Which of these 5 artists (Latto, GAYLE, Joji, Dove Cameron, Em Beihold) will have the highest-peaking "second hit" by the end of the year (12/31 chart)*This one was really fun as well! While I think a lot of you guys were pessimistic, there was some competition here. Latto charted at #87 on a collab with Meg The Stallion. Em Beihold is on a huge remix of "Until I Found You" - however this version hasn't charted yet, despite very strong Spotify numbers. And of course, Joji's follow up "Die For You" debuted at #53, earning him the biggest second hit of these artists. Full vote breakdown: Latto-59% / Joji-35% / None-6%. A total of 6 of 17, or 35% got this one right. Congrats to atg Fears in the Fire 𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿 joshtheking M5AGTS phieaglesfan712 for guessing correctly. Each wins 28 points!Jul 28: Will we see an all-female collab hit #1 before the end of this year?Something else we didn't see this year: an all-woman collab at #1! After a couple years of chart-toppers like WAP, Rain on Me, and Savage Remix, 2022 clearly marked a decline in collab hits. A total of 6 of 10, or 60% got this one right. Congrats to Baby Yoda Hot100Fan big2000 Fears in the Fire jasper0102 Limited Edition phieaglesfan712 for guessing correctly. Each wins 17 points!We will pick up next time with August questions! Click here to see full selections & scoresjasper0102 moves into the top 3! Baby Yoda Hot100Fan, M5AGTS, and mms82 each gain a spot or two.

This was a really fun idea. Even just spreading this out to like once a month or something if it's too much to handle would be fine, but obviously no pressure to continue!

Scoreboard1 (=) enwhy 1,139 2 (=) joshtheking 1,029 3 (▲1) jasper0102 901 Honestly surprised i’ve gone this far in this game given my fairly late start. I’m 100% not winning though, as much as I want to. Anyhow, this was a lot of fun, arguably the most fun thing i’ve done on Pulse this year. And on whether to continue the game, I hope it continues, but if you decide not to continue it, I hope someone else would take the mantle. Also interested in what other ideas you have.
