and ATRLers a month ago were claiming bunny is bigger than Drake with such ease the BACKFIRE :clap3:

Drake hasn't left the top 10 since he made his debut in 2015 but Bad Bunny is only making the top 10 for the first time since 2019. He basically dropped two albums in 2019 (because his debut album dropped Dec. 24, 2018) and missed the top 10. He dropped THREE albums in 2020 and missed the top 10 yet again. He missed the top 10 again in 2021 and didn't make the top 10 till 2022 (when he had what will probably go down as the biggest year of his career). 

 

Reminder that he's been the most streamed artist on Spotify every year since 2020 and that's what ATRL users have been using to suggest he's bigger than Drake while completely disregarding that Drake remains strong on Spotify (and most importantly, Apple Music) and has a back catalog with great streaming stats. 

 

The result is Drake outdoing Bad Bunny in his biggest year yet when Drake himself didn't score any major hits or have an album that was nearly as successful as Bad Bunny's.

How can you say it's not changing much when both 21 and 25 are back on Billboard 200 now?? I know you're a Swiftie, but my god, TRY to be objective and fair sometimes.

I was talking about 2022 since this is what this thread is about :ace:

I see no local hasbeens made it into that top 20, as expected :celestial5:

The way I have no idea which songs will make the songs list :gaycat6:

 

"As It Was" will most likely be #1 tho.

10. Bad Habits

I think they usually have a report at the end where numbers are included for the top 10

9. Bad Bunny & Chencho Corleone – Me Porto Bonito

Manifesting "Save Your Tears" to make the top 10 again after topping last year's list :alexz:

 

"Blinding Lights" was #1 in 2020 and stuck around at #7 in 2021. Would be iconic if it happens again. :heart:

 

As for the current reveals, I'm surprised that "Me Porto Bonito" ended up so low, but it's a win regardless. Also love to see "Bad Habits" at #10 for the second year in a row.

Bad Habits on the list two years in a row :clap3:

8. ABDCEFU - Gayle 

 

Posted

So which songs could be in the top 7?

 

In no particular order:

 

As It Was

Stay

Heat Waves

We don't talk about Bruno

Cold Heart

Shivers

Tití Me Preguntó

 

 

Easy on Me  probably split points between 2021 and 2022 so it probably didn't make it

@Hector do you have the 2021 full top 20 singles? I don't remember if Shivers made the top 20 for 2021.

Indeed! This was another great era for him. Real shame "Overpass Graffiti" was criminally slept on, though. Such a heartwarming tune. "2step" also deserved to perform better, but it was still a moderate hit in the UK and Canada.

No real surprises so far. 

Posted

Shivers & Bad Habits :clap3: 

Posted

Me Porto Bonito GLOBAL SMASH.

Posted

So for the top 5:

 

As It Was

Heat Waves

Stay

Cold Heart

Titi Me Preguntó

 

?

 

This means Dua could get the biggest female song as co-lead (Cold Heart)  and Gayle will have the biggest female solo song of 2022

Higher than expected:
