2022 Billboard Hot 100 Year End Rankdown (WINNER REVEALED)

[samo🦕]

There's still three extras from Encanto to be revealed, and I really enjoyed this one as well! Like with the other tracks I've heard the vocals aren't my favourite, but the instrumental was pretty and the lyrics work with and without the context of the film.


Diane Guerrero & Stephanie Beatriz - What Else Can I Do?

Peak: #27 | Weeks: 14 | Estimated YE: #140

[samo🦕]

After her own extra today we now have Carly Pearce's ex-husband, and this pretty underwhelming compared to "Never Wanted To Be That Girl"; it's not bad, just forgettable.


Michael Ray - Whiskey And Rain

Peak: #37 | Weeks: 20 (15 in 2022) | Estimated YE: #139

[samo🦕]

My last extra for today is Rod Wave's only song in the year-end or the extras, which feels weird considering how much of a presence he's had for the last few years. I wasn't expecting the "Hey There Delilah" interpolation, but this is decent otherwise, just not that memorable.


Rod Wave - By Your Side

Peak: #58 | Weeks: 19 | Estimated YE: #138

and I forgot my extras again lmao (though it has been on Christmas Day and NYE so I probably wouldn't have had the time anyway)

The first of today's ten extras would've been pretty close to the year-end with its whole run, but wasn't quite caught between years. I quite like the chorus here, and the song sounds good, but Tyga brings this down a lot with his verse.


Blxst f/ Ty Dolla $ign & Tyga - Chosen

Peak: #51 | Weeks: 21 (15 in 2022) | Estimated YE: #142

I would have ranked this really high; this is underrated. I love the production here. I do agree about Tyga's verse being pretty bad though, especially that cringe-inducing "Shawty up and down on the pole like she votin'" line. Everyone knows there's nothing sexier than voting! lol

[M5AGTS]

I love Chosen. Sad that it didn't become a hit.

[Leo ✔]

"Never Wanted To Be That Girl" deserved so much better on the charts.

[golfradio]

the interpolation in "By Your Side" never fails to make me smile but both "Cold December" and "Alone" are much better singles/showcases of his talent, and it's always justice for "Street Runner".

[Fire]

lots of good extras here lol, i like chosen, what else can i do, never wanted to be that girl, and by your side

[wrip]

It is time for the next set of extras today!

Oh no! We missed out on ranking another Ed Sheeran song! Darn!


Ed Sheeran f/ Lil Baby - 2Step

Peak: #48 | Weeks: 15 | Estimated YE: #137

[wrip]

For the next extra we've got a song from the Señorita duetstress Shawn Mendes. This is actually a pretty nice song from him, especially when looking back at some of his other hits.


Shawn Mendes - When You're Gone

Peak: #38 | Weeks: 15 | Estimated YE: #136

[wrip]

Here we've got another Encanto song. I actually would've liked to rank this song, it's definitely one of my favorites from the movie; it's honestly really pretty.


Sebastian Yatra - Dos Oruguitas

Peak: #36 | Weeks: 16 | Estimated YE: #135

[M5AGTS]

I love 2 Step and I really really love When You're Gone. Wyg is a great song.

[wrip]

Kelsea Ballerini definitely is one of the modern country artists I enjoy the most. This may not entirely be my favorite from her, but it is still nice and would've ranked decently high for me.


Kelsea Ballerini f/ Kenny Chesney - half of my hometown

Peak: #53 | Weeks: 20 (18 in 2022) | Estimated YE: #134

[wrip]

WARNING: IMAGINE DRAGONS JUMPSCARE


Imagine Dragons - Bones

Peak: #47 | Weeks: 20 | Estimated YE: #132

[312999]

Bones is way better than Enemy.

[FlashingLight]

2step is pretty good, but I don’t think it missing the cut is much of a loss.

On the other hand, When You’re Gone is fantastic and should’ve made the list.

Haven’t heard Dos Oruguitas yet, can’t bother to do so too much right now honestly.

Half of My Hometown is a good song on its own and definitely better than most country music nowadays. Not something I love, but it’s a strong exhibit in the case for Kelsea Ballerini.

Like Enemy, Bones is mediocre at best and clearly presents Imagine Dragons’s downward trajectory in their musical quality. Follow You is the only good single from the Mercury albums and should’ve done far better than Enemy and Bones.

[Fire]

as someone who actually somewhat likes ID, bones is so annoying, i can't believe we got this close to ranking it, bleh

the other extras are pretty nice, would've loved to rank when you're gone and homh here especially

[M5AGTS]

Unpopular opinion that those here who know me will not be surprised about. Bones is a fantastic song imo. One of my absolute favorite songs of the year.

[312999]

Wait I might have confused Bones with another ID song that was good. Lmfao I have to listen to Bones again too, I based it off of memory. If that was the same song on M5AGTS rankdown a month ago and I ranked it low there, then no it’s not good.

They genuinely thought this was gonna be the big hit song of the film while giving it the Oscar nominees.

[Leo ✔]

"Dos Oruguitas" would've been a top 5 lock in my list. @USA give attention to latin artists different than B*d B*nny

Bones wasn't on that rd. It is on the rd I have open rn tho.

[🌺CountryLineDancer]

Never Wanted To Be That Girl is a fantastic song. I can see it doing really well on the Country YE RD. 

[big2000]

Finally gonna submit for this tonight or tomorrow.

Same here. Beautiful song

[samo🦕]

Tonight's first extra isn't particularly good imo, and the title line just sounds...weird to me. He's definitely had worse songs but I'm not mad at this missing the year-end.


Thomas Rhett - Slow Down Summer

Peak: #43 | Weeks: 17 | Estimated YE: #131

[samo🦕]

We've now got one of the most polarising songs to chart this year; I don't mind it, but it's a far cry from the original's greatness. To be honest, I'm just glad Britney's back!


Elton John & Britney Spears - Hold Me Closer

Peak: #6 | Weeks: 10 | Estimated YE: #130

[samo🦕]

This was pretty enjoyable, but I was about ready for this to finish when Future's second verse started (and the repetition didn't help).


Nardo Wick f/ Future & Lil Baby - Me Or Sum

Peak: #58 | Weeks: 19 | Estimated YE: #128

[samo🦕]

I'm a big fan of most of Ingrid's music, so this was kind of disappointing. For once I don't have a problem with Sam Hunt here, I just don't really like the production.


Ingrid Andress & Sam Hunt - Wishful Drinking

Peak: #47 | Weeks: 18 | Estimated YE: #127
