Pulse Rankdown: 2022 Year-End Hot R&B/Hip-Hop (complete)

[singingrulebritannia]

1) PM me (singingrulebritannia) your rankings of the top 100 R&B/Hip-Hop songs of 2022. Rank the songs by your preference from #1 (best) down to #100 (worst).
2) An inverse point system will be used to determine the point total for each song. Song #1 gets 100 points, #2 gets 99 points... all the way down to #100 which gets 1 point.
3) The due date for submission is Friday, January 13 at 11:59PM ET.
4) ALL songs must be ranked.
5) To avoid sending me a list with extra lines, please click BBCode below the text box before you paste your list.
6) The rankings of each participant will be posted when a song is revealed during this Rankdown.
7) Please just copy & paste the formatting of the songs in this OP to make your rankings--if you don't I'll either demand you re-send the list or I'll reject it outright.
8) You can make changes to your list but try not to do so excessively. Edits will not be accepted after reveals start.
9) For reference, here are the top 100 R&B/Hip-Hop songs of 2022. The top 87 are drawn directly from Billboard's published Year-End list, with 2021 repeats removed; the remaining 13 were compiled by Maxrevs24 in the Top Of The Charts Discord server.

Nice list that I recognize most of the songs but I think most of the songs that I like the most will be out early this time. Will see, not too sure what to expect.

[singingrulebritannia]

Apologies for not giving this rankdown very much attention yet! I've just had, well, a pretty big thing going on outside of it. But now seems as good a time as any for the first reminder. 3 weeks to submit!

LOL omg I didn't realize that when I did that. I looked in my inbox and it didn't have a message sent to you, which was odd to me. So I sent it again. But then I looked at the sent section and saw it was there twice. I'm sorry about that.

It doesn't tell you when you send something to someone if no one replies. To see any pms you send to someone you have to switch the inbox section to outbox.

Since I extended Wintertime Madness Seed 3, I want to maintain the same amount of distance between the deadlines of that rankdown and this one. The new deadline is January 11th (check opening post for exact time), which means you have 2 weeks and 1 day left to submit!

There is so much worse on this list than either Yeat song I'm afraid. His songs on here are pretty good imo

[312999]

I’m working on this right now and I honestly enjoyed last years list much better. I’ll probably finish this tonight or sometime tomorrow. Still some pretty good songs though this year.

[mako]

I will also be submitting, my taste in music shifted from hip-hop/r&b to other genres throughout the past years and I don't know/haven't heard most of these songs yet lol.

[singingrulebritannia]

I've moved my schedule around, and those changes will have a knock-on effect on this rankdown. I need to spend today and tomorrow sprucing up my submissions for Tom and Leo's "Pulse Official Best-Of Rock 2022" survey, but I don't think it would be best for me to go straight from doing that into revealing a 100-song rankdown. Luckily, I have enough leeway on the calendar to give myself some space and keep the daily reveal sets for this rankdown manageable--I'll be doing 5 sets of 20 instead of 6 sets of 15 and 1 set of 10. So the new due date is Friday, January 13. This means you once again have 3 days left to submit. This will be the final extension.

Thanks for the extension; I plan on having this one in this afternoon.

[312999]

Almost done and wow, one of the Megan The Stallion songs is almost 10/10 while the other one is like a 1/10, hopefully the right one ends up being higher on this.

I don't see myself having the time/energy to send for this, but please tag me in the reveals!

I will be sending!

[312999]

Finally done. Honestly, I have no idea what to expect. In the 2021 Urban Rankdown, most songs I kind of figured or knew around where they would end up. This time, I have no idea, but I think that I will do much worse than before. My 90 will probably make the top 10 or be close. I expect some high ranks to be out early, especially my 7. This was a year where most of the songs on the bottom of the Rankdown IMO were better than the songs at the top of the Rankdown.
