*For previews, I am defining "multiple-song artist" as an artist who has more than one lead credit song on the list. Features are not included in each artist's count, but co-leads are. No trick questions here, either: if the featured artist on a song is a multiple-song artist, their presence will not change a "No" to a "Yes". For consistency, and because this is their list, Billboard will be the source for all credits.

[HamedM1 💔]

Let hell 2.0 of the January rankdown season begin!

[312999]

I don't know what to expect at all on this Rankdown.

[singingrulebritannia]

The words "sales-driven rap hit" in the modern day are never a good sign.

[lyhom]

impressive how drake could make a stayin' alive interpolation as dreary as this

[HamedM1 💔]

I feel like I just find most DJ Khaled songs aggressively lazy more than anything else lmao.

[𝓲𝓽'𝓼.𝓰𝓿]

Very horrible use of a classic that is "Staying Alive" by The Bee Gees

[Fire]

i straight up was dumbfounded that u could ruin the bee gees song so badly when i first listened to this lol

[jtd Thee Stallion]

Broadway Girls is overstaying

Will BR and Hydra have it 1 here too like they did in the Hot 100 Rankdown?

I'll be surprised if it performed better (even barely) here than in the Hot 100 RD. Still likely would've been my #100 if I participated in this one

[willapted33]

I sometimes think the russ hate is too extreme & a bit of a meme but holy shit his song here was that bad

At least I lost 3 of my bottom 5s right before this.

How to go from 1 of the best in closeness through the first 3 reveals to one of the worst in closeness all in 1 reveal.
