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

[wrip]

Booooo Alien Superstar deserved top 10 :/ Literally such a good song and honestly better than Break My Soul and Cuff It

[singingrulebritannia]

very happy this snuck back in the top 10 at the last second

I remember we ranked Dawn FM when it first came out on TOTC, and I put Out of Time in my bottom three iirc. That was preeetty stupid of me and it has grown on me, but I still have to call it a lil overrated.

I really don't understand why this wasn't the first radio single :/ I think if it was, Kendrick would've scored the Hot 100 year-end hit that he instead missed.

Alien Superstar, Out Of Time, and Die Hard not being the highest song for each artist is a choice…

[singingrulebritannia]

this makes Beyoncé the only artist with 2 songs in the top 5
my condolences trilogy and lyhom...and Red---I'm assuming this would've been his #1 too

Sounds about right that the weakest of the 3 Bey songs (and weakest song on Renaissance, sorry not sorry) is the remaining one left in a Pulse rd.

[singingrulebritannia]

the song with the most #1s by a factor of 3, as well as the most top 10s total. condolences to willapted33, Mayman, BlurryKyle, OCDave, 312999, and myself

I'm starting to enjoy CUFF IT, which is another song that may likely land in my Top 10

[rnb]

did not want a perfect ranking for this this was amazing

[HamedM1 💔]

SHOOTER did we accidentally misplace this cause WHAT in the name of all that is rhythm and blues is that ranking?

[khan]

Top 4 all in my top 10, I call that a win! Bad Habit is also reeeally treading that "R&B/Hip-Hop" line but not to the extent of his other song. And I still won't complain because any excuse to listen to this melody assembly line is a good one. Weirdly high SD though...
