2022 Billboard Hot 100 Year End Rankdown (WINNER REVEALED)

[anthony11554]

Lil Baby is so trash

[M5AGTS]

Who Want Smoke is such a banger. Sad that it didn't make it.

[joshtheking]

Who Want Smoke?? would have been very high on my list

[Fire]

23 may be the best sam hunt song i've ever heard lol not a hard list to top but yeah haha

i wish we could have ranked it

[wrip]

Here is the second to last set of extras  Honestly would have been fun to rank this song haha. It's definitely one of the better sampled hit songs of 2022, I love how goofy it is lol.


Yung Gravy - Betty (Get Money)

Peak: #30 | Weeks: 17 | Estimated YE: #113

[wrip]

THE KID LAROI JUMPSCARE

This is *okay*, it's better than like Without You, but not as good as Stay.


The Kid LAROI - Thousand Miles

Peak: #15 | Weeks: 15 | Estimated YE: #112

[wrip]

On the one hand, this isn't as good as some of the songs from Voicenotes, on the other hand this deserved to be a bigger hit than some of his songs like One Call Away and Marvin Gaye. It's a pretty fun bop with interesting production!


Charlie Puth - Light Switch

Peak: #27 | Weeks: 15 | Estimated YE: #110

[joshtheking]

Really sad that Get Money missed out on the year end, would have been interesting to see how it did in this rankdown

Thousand Miles is a huge guilty pleasure for me

[rnb]

light switch is a guilty pleasure

[wrip]

If only we could've had another Bad Bunny song here for me to rank in my top 20


Bad Bunny & Jhay Cortez - Tarot

Peak: #18 | Weeks: 20 | Estimated YE: #109

[khan]

I still throw some genuine respect Betty's way for not just lazily sampling the melody of an iconic song for the chorus like so many other hits these days do. The old 80s synths from NGGYU are actually cut up and used in the rap beat in a creative way.

[wrip]

And for the last extra today, we have a song that I am thankful missed the year end list! While Light Switch is a bop, this just sucks lol.


Charlie Puth f/ Jung Kook - Left And Right

Peak: #22 | Weeks: 17 | Estimated YE: #108

[wrip]

3 days remaining (again)!
We are currently at 62 lists, but because there are quite a few people who are planning to send still, and because we want to get at least close to previous year list counts, the deadline is being extended to the end of the weekend! If you can, we'd appreciate if you let us know that you are working on your list so we know who to expect! Please get your lists in by January 8, @11:59PM EST.

Thanks to those that have sent in lists so far, let's keep them coming!

Time for some more stats:
- The gap between the top 2 has shrunk quite a bit with recent lists with the songs being under 50 points apart. Meanwhile the gap between 2 and 3 has grown further apart and is tied for the 2nd largest gap between songs, behind the gap between #99 and #100.
- None of the songs in the top 10 are new, but there have been some changes within the top 10 since the last update.
- On the other end of the rankdown, there is only one change in the bottom 10, with #97 and #96 swapping places. The gap between the bottom 2 just keeps growing further apart.
- Only 1 new song has received a #1 rank, and 2 new songs have received a #100 since the last update.
- The highest SDs belong to #53, #72, #68, #88, and #67. Meanwhile the lowest SDs belong to #100, #3, #1, #6, and #5.
- There is one tie between #61 and #62.

I'm the opposite, Light Switch is such a disappointment after the real funkiness of Puth's Voicenotes songs, but Left and Right is actually pretty fun (though that's very much carried by the panning and Jungkook)

[312999]

Close To Me is a great song from The Cure in 1985!!! I am glad that it became popular again in 2022 under an alternative title called Light Switch by Charlie Puth!

[AwesomePostMalone]

On a list like this, Betty (Get Money) would have probably made my top 5

[312999]

Betty, Left And Right, and possibly even Light Switch could have all been in my top 20 most likely. Thousand Miles, straight to my bottom 10.

[Leo ✔]

Betty bops

[Fire]

betty is a banger lol i like pretty much all the other extras as well especially both charlie puth songs

[FlashingLight]

Betty is a bop and it would've been fun to see how it did if it made the cut

Thousand Miles is pretty mediocre, not much else to say

Light Switch is alright. It's a nice listen but nothing much is lost with it not on the list

Tarot is good, I like the Bad Bunny album a fair amount and this probably would've ranked similarly to other songs on it

I really like Left and Right. It's just really fun song that I strongly prefer to Light Switch; would've had a lock on my top 20 for sure

Same! Super hot take, but it's honestly my favorite thing The Kid Laroi has ever put out.

Love "Betty" and "Light Switch" and would have ranked them high. "Left or Right" is kinda meh for me.

[M5AGTS]

Thousand Miles and Left And Right are great. I also love Betty, but I wouldn't consider it great.

[samo🦕]

We've gotten to the last set of extras! We're starting with an older song that went viral on TikTok (this time from Sia's 2016 album This Is Acting). The lyrics aren't anything special, but I quite enjoyed this overall.


Sia - Unstoppable

Peak: #28 | Weeks: 18 | Estimated YE: #107

[samo🦕]

It's not his absolute best but Eric Church is always a welcome presence on the Hot 100 and this is no exception; I wish this had been able to sneak onto the list.


Eric Church - Heart On Fire

Peak: #56 | Weeks: 22 | Estimated YE: #106

[samo🦕]

Our final extra from the Encanto soundtrack is the opening track, and unfortunately it has peak "why would I ever listen to this outside of the film" energy, but for what it is it's cute.


Stephanie Beatriz, Olga Merediz, & Encanto Cast - The Family Madrigal

Peak: #20 | Weeks: 16 | Estimated YE: #105

[312999]

Unstoppable is my favorite Sia song. Would have probably had it top 20. Great song and IMO her vocals are at her best in this song.

[M5AGTS]

Unstoppable would've easily been top 10 for me.

[samo🦕]

This isn't a song I have much to say about, and I don't think I'll be able to remember how it goes this time tomorrow.


SleazyWorld Go & Lil Baby - Sleazy Flow

Peak: #47 | Weeks: 20 | Estimated YE: #104

[samo🦕]

This rankdown's final extra comes from a rapper-turned-country star named Jelly Roll...and with all that in mind, this was a pleasant surprise! It's a solid song that I wouldn't have minded seeing on the year-end.


Jelly Roll - Son Of A Sinner

Peak: #31 | Weeks: 18 | Estimated YE: #103

[joshtheking]

Unstoppable is a mess but I do find it stuck in my head sometimes
