oh wow. this middle stretch is worse than people were saying. It's been like 15 songs without one i wanted or felt the need to finish. so much filler.
edit: and now all the stars has started playing. we are officially in the clear, maybe, unless this is a cruel joke.
If this is Sicko Mode slander... BLOCKED And don't forget, "Ric Flair Drip" is within the 10 songs before "All The Stars" too

Done. Tiers: 1-2: 9/10 3-8: 8/10 9-21: 7/10 22-43: 6/10 44-63: 5/10 64-79: 4/10 80-93: 3/10 94-99: 2/10 100: 1/10 ----- {Spoiler}This was an interesting year to revisit, especially with considerable intervening time between then and now. 2018 is now decidedly a part of "The Past." The paint has dried.
It was a shitty year for me personally, and one during which I felt increasingly alienated from a peer group that seemed to be at the forefront of the culture. I was also very aware of the discourse surrounding new music at the time (in fact, this was the year when I really started to be active on RYM). The DIY YouTube pop music critics of the time would often rag on trap music, nitpicking the lyrics or lambasting it for being "monotonous." Meanwhile, the formal critical establishment was more of a mixed bag. But even when certain publications (let's just say we wrapped up a rankdown based on one of their lists not too long ago...) would adopt a more positive outlook on certain trap songs, it seemed like a transparent attempt to stay in touch and follow the zeitgeist. So, when you couple this with 1) intense nostalgia for a time when the tone of popular music was nearly the opposite of what it was then and 2) a desperate desire to seem more "mature" than peers whom I thought prided themselves on their worldliness, I get why I was predisposed to be more negative towards trap music at the time.
But to hell with all that shit. With distance, my opinion was already shifting in favor of the trendier genres (trap, alternative R&B, indie pop, neo-psychedelia) of the time. After revisiting this entire list, however, I can say more confidently than ever that many of the trendy, streaming-driven trap songs were among the best that it had to offer (some of the songs in this group improved by 1-2 stars out of 5 for me). And many of the radio-driven pop songs were among the worst. Of course, there are more than a few exceptions on each front; nothing is so clear-cut. And there's a whole separate conversation to be had about how the radio-driven corporate pop tried to reconcile the depressive tone of a lot of trap with something more palatable to a less online, silent-majority audience, only to wind up spectacularly dated in just a few years' time. But overall, I think I now understand why most of the generation-defining music of the time excited so many people. And while I still don't have any nostalgia for 2018, I almost wish I did.

2017 and 2018 year ends are peak. Probably the best rap hits on any year end of the decade yeah, Gummo and FEFE were peak. 1-800 was life changing. Gucci Gang helps me through hard times. Let's not dump 1-800 with the other 3 songs :( It was indeed life changing for me...

Yeah that’s a hate it or love it song from what I can tell. Nice to hear it’s your thing. It’s definitely not my thing.

1. What songs do you think will make the top 10? Any guesses on the winner? i'll guess ntltc wins again because idk what else could, maybe finesse has a shot idfk wait i forgot about new rules lol. rest of the top 10 i see sicko mode, all the stars, boo'd up, trip, maybe ric flair drip and/or sky walker or nice for what can dark horse here ig also (sadly) idgaf could be up here too. and on a better note i see delicate here too wow there are too many contenders lol 2. What songs do you think will make the bottom 10? Any guesses on the last place? i'll guess 6ix9ine is still 100 but with fefe this time. rest of the bottom 10, gummo, te bote, 1800, gucci gang, freaky friday, changes, get along, thunder, and (hopefully) shape of you. idk girls like you or x could also replace one of these songs 3. How far do you think your #1 will go? 30s or 20s 4. How far do you think your #100 will go? uh not far 5. What songs do you think will have the highest SD's? 1800, friends, sad!, natural, whatever it takes, lucid dreams 6. What songs do you think will have the lowest SD's? i'd be shocked if anyone actually boosted fefe lol, delicate could also have a pretty low sd 7. What songs do you think will jump the most from their original placements? any good rap song that pulse tanked back then because pulse 8. What songs do you think will drop the most from their original placements? any bad pop song that pulse tanked back then because pulse 9. Any other predictions? no

I hope that you are dead wrong about 1 800 and Thunder being bottom 10.

I hope that you are dead wrong about 1 800 and Thunder being bottom 10. Pulse hates Imagine dragons. Also I’d expect 1800 round 80s.

1. What songs do you think will make the top 10? Any guesses on the winner? I'll guess "New Rules" wins. As for the rest, "Finesse," "All the Stars," "Boo'd Up," "Nice for What," "Trip," "No Tears Left to Cry, "Sicko Mode," *maybe* "Pray for Me"?
2. What songs do you think will make the bottom 10? Any guesses on the last place? "Fefe," "X," "Gummo," "Te Bote," "Freaky Friday," "Changes," "Girls Like You," "Gucci Gang," "Thunder" and "Sad!"
3. How far do you think your #1 will go? It will probably be out in the 25-40 range.
4. How far do you think your #100 will go? Hopefully it will be #100, if not I would be shocked if it escaped bottom 5.
5. What songs do you think will have the highest SD's? "1-800-273-2355," "Natural," "Friends," "Whatever It Takes," "Let You Down."
6. What songs do you think will have the lowest SD's? Many of the songs I think will be bottom 10 such as "Fefe" "Gummo," "Freaky Friday" and "Gucci Gang" will probably have low SDs.
7. What songs do you think will jump the most from their original placements? Guessing "No Brainer" and "Yes Indeed" will jump quite a bit. "Bad at Love" being bottom half in the original version seems criminal.
8. What songs do you think will drop the most from their original placements? I'd be surprised if "Freaky Friday" escaped bottom 10 again, "Shape of You" will probably drop a lot as well, as well "Girls Like You."
9. Any other predictions? Maybe

1. Probably NTLTC, Sicko Mode or New Rules 2. 6ix9ine 3. Middle of the pack 4. Bottom five 5. 1-800 seems like a good bet. 6. Top and bottom songs. 7. IDK 8. IDK 9. Not really

Unfortunately the original results don't seem to be linked in the OP, and the search function isn't working for me right now :/ I will go back later and add my answers in. Oh my bad. The original rankdown is linked now (in the OP)!!!

I’m concerned about my number 100 making it into the top 75. Not sure, but it definitely has a high score differential

Secretly hoping that it’s not Gummo and that it’s something like You Make It Easy.
