I can go into any year using this methodology and find a song ranked lower on the actual chart and show how it will rise above others that are above it.  Doing that across years makes it even worse.  

 

 

Oh, sure. A lot of things will probably change by the end of the decade. All those magazines will release their decade-end lists by then. This is just to serve as an appetizer since we'll have to wait until 2030/2031 to really know the best songs of the decade.

But if you want a list solely by points, here it is:

 

#1 "Not Like Us", Kendrick Lamar (2024) [215 points, 32 lists]
#2 "WAP", Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion (2020) [197 points, 33 lists]

#3 "Good Luck, Babe!", Chappell Roan (2024) [177 points, 31 lists]
#4 "Girl, so confusing feat. lorde", Charli XCX & Lorde (2024) [139 points, 22 lists]

#5 "A&W", Lana Del Rey (2023) [137 points, 26 lists]

#6 "Savage (Remix)", Megan Thee Stallion & Beyoncé [128 points, 28 lists]

#7 "Boy's a liar Pt. 2", PinkPantheress & Ice Spice (2023) [123 points, 23 lists]

#8 "Bad Habits", Steve Lacy [123 points, 26 lists]

#9 "People I've Been Sad", Christine And The Queens [122 points, 27 lists]
#10 "MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)" [111 points, 28 lists]

 

@RoseBud

Good 4 U was listed at #3 for 2021 and the average would be (105 points, 24 lists) 4.38

 

Montero was listed at #1 for 2021 and would show an average of 3.96 for 2021.  (Montero actually showed 29 lists)

 

It doesn't work due to the way they arrive at their year end points.

Your methodology might be accurate because it makes for a better list than this, thank you. 

I agree. Adding points implies that all songs have equal chance on every magazine, but that's not the case. AOTY counts genre-specific lists, alt-leaning lists, only singles lists, only mainstream songs lists, etc. So it's not like every song has the same chance to get points.

 

Doing an average ranking is not perfect, but it's the fairest choice.

I already explained to you why average is more fair, if you can't understand, then I don't have anything to argue with you. Besides, I already shared with you a list solely by points to "not penalize songs with more lists" as you wanted
