NEXT WEEK'S STORYLINES It's the end of the year! Will "Die For You" end 2022 on top? Can David Guetta & Bebe Rexha finally get to No. 1 after nine weeks spent between Nos. 2 and 4? Voting opens up for some Christmas classics for the first time this week. Can Mariah Carey or Wham! take No. 1 for a festive close to the year?

Charli has been forgotten :(

I tried to focus it on artists with the most songs on the countdown this year! Sadly, she only ever charted with "Good Ones." A personal favorite, for sure.

New voting link/format! Pick your 10 favorites and then list your top two.

 

Will keep that open while I finalize the last countdown of the year. Voting for the Top 40 of 2022 will open shortly.

Here's what's on tap this week...

DEBUTS + RETURNS We're in the holiday spirit with three Christmas pop classics landing inside the top ten. "Underneath the Tree," "Last Christmas," and "All I Want For Christmas Is You" reach the top ten this week. "World's Smallest Violin" by AJR (No. 19) and Oliver Tree & Robin Schulz's "Miss You" (No. 18) are the week's other two debuts.

HOT/COLD "Shirt" is the hottest video on the heels of SOS's release. SZA reaches the top ten at No. 7 this week. "Hold Me Closer" by Elton John & Britney Spears nearly drifts off the countdown at No. 20 and is the coldest video of the week.

TOP FIVE "Anti-Hero" and "Unholy" are the week's repeat top five hits. "Bad Habit" is back in the top five, as are two of the three new holiday standards.

Adele: "Easy On Me"

WEEKS 11 PEAK 1 (1)

Harry Styles: "As It Was"

WEEKS 36 PEAK 1 (2)

 

Congratulations to Harry Styles on scoring the No. 1 song of 2022 with "As It Was." Since the countdown began in 2008, Styles is the first artist to ever score multiple year-end No. 1 singles. In 2017, he recorded the year's top song with "Sign of the Times."

 

The countdown will return on January 8, 2023 for another go around the block. Thanks for an outstanding year. Looking forward to getting it all started back up soon! Happy New Year, everyone.

Certainly not much suspense this year! A runaway No. 1. I was pleasantly surprised with "Bruno" getting a top 10 spot, too, after not reaching No. 1 on the countdown.

Voting is open for the countdown! I'll try to keep up with posting the graphics every week but may not be able to. Certainly will have them ready to go for the countdown every week.

 

First countdown will be Jan. 8 (for the week of Jan. 1-7).

New adds include the latest from SZA ("Nobody Gets Me") and Paramore ("The News").

 

The Christmas tracks are gone, meaning there will definitely be a new No. 1 to ring in the new year. Will "Bad Habit" make it back to the top for a sixth week? "Unholy," "Anti-Hero," and "I'm Good (Blue)" will all be threats for No. 1 on this weekend's countdown.

 

Voting is a little different. This year, choose your 10 favorite videos without ranking them. The vote totals will be added to the song's composite score for that week.
