2017 Year-End Billboard Hot 100

As 2017 had an improvement in pop music, rap still dominated the charts for stupid reasons like streaming. I will rank all 100 songs at the end. 

Each song will receive its own grade. There are 100 songs, each worth maximum 5 points. The points of all 100 songs will result in the final score of the chart with a denominator of 500. The denominator is 500 because 100 songs x 5 maximum points = 500 maximum points overall. 
Here is the code for each individual song:

• Orange-Worst Song/Crap (0 pts) -1 also works
• Red-Crap (0 pts)
• Turquoise-Bad (1 pt)
• Yellow-Mediocre (2 pts)
• Pink-Decent (3 pts)
• Blue-Good (4 pts)
• Green-Great (5 pts)
• Purple-Best Song/Great (5 pts) 6 also works

And now the code for the final score:

• Purple - 90-100 % (A)
• Green - 80-89% (B)
• Blue - 70-79% (C)
• Red - 50-69% (D)
• Orange - 0-49% (F)

This one was clearly worse. Alexa kept playing songs in the same order, unlike other times. Maybe because it changes weekly. It took me multiple times to get the station I used for 1-3.

Never Be The Same is officially crap. With Havana, she showed us she didn't need vocal lessons. With this song, she tells us she needs vocal lessons after all.

-I think most people think Thunder is amazing because of the appealing title: Thunder: But Imagine Dragons are a BAND, and Thunder doesn't make them look like one.  The computer repeating "Thunder, thu thu thu thu Thunder" is something I find EXTREMELY annoying. The only good parts are the guitar solo before the final chorus and the first verse. So yeah, I'm not going to the Thunder-hype party. I am officially annoyed with the song, it gets worse and worse with each listen. I had it in green at one point, but I never loved it. Compared to stuff like Radioactive, On Top Of The World, and Believer, Thunder is the worst song the band has released to date.

-My Thunder concept is very similar with Maroon 5 when you compare  the amazing This Love from 2004 to their music since 2016 (except What Lovers Do), also their worst songs to date. I wasn't a fan of Don't Wanna Know, Cold, and Wait because they showed Maroon 5 lost their groove they once had. Adrian and Montavis explained it beautifully. You can tell there is a band in This Love and Songs About Jane. Not Red Pill Blues. Don't Wanna Know is the worst song the band have ever released to date.

-This was my first time most country songs played, so I don't really have yet and opinion.

-She played more country music than usual, probably because this was the top 100 most played and not pop.  I like the voices country singers have and the instruments really make the genre come alive. Unfortunately, the biggest country song last year didn't provide ANY of that. That was the absolute putrid Sam Hunt-Body Like A Back Road. One of the worst country songs ever. My biggest problem with music in America is you can say this with one genre, or all combined. They underrate ALL good music and overrate ALL the bad music. So I have to review the Year-end Billboard Hot 100.

BILLBOARD/RAP MAJOR DISS!

Yep, unfortunately it's true. America doesn't freaking know what good music is anymore. ALL the good music of any genre is underrated. Instead, all that putrid nausea rap/mumble rap is overrated. RAP is unbearably overrated and needs to go away forever! Here is my epic rant.

Here are all the great songs that got underrated because of SoundCloud, airplay, streaming, Spotify, etc:

• Alice Merton-No Roots
• Ed Sheeran-Galway Girl
• Eminem/Ed Sheeran-River
• Harry Styles-Kiwi
• Harry Styles-Two Ghosts
• Justin Timberlake/Chris Stapleton-Say Something
• Niall Horan-Too Much To Ask
• P!NK-Beautfiul Trauma
• The Chainsmokers-Sick Boy
• Twenty One Pilots-Heavydirtysoul
• Walk The Moon-One Foot

And instead all this enormous trash got overrated:

• 21 Savage-Bank Account
• 6IX9INE-Gummo
• Amine-Caroline
• Ayo & Teo-Rolex
• Drake-God's Plan
• Gucci Mane/Drake-Both
• Gucci Mane/Migos-I Get The Bag
• J Balvin/Willy William/Beyonce-Mi Gente
• Kodak Black-Tunnel Vision

Who hates this streaming type of rap music. Well if you do, here is a source to blame why useless rap is getting recognition instead of actual talent: SoundCloud. It is a streaming app were all this waste got famous from. And the sad thing is this all just entered American mainstream a few months ago.  And it doesn't look to be stopping soon. I still can't believe people actually like this brag-like type of music.

Here is the garbage list, and I will keep adding over time:

• 6IX9INE-Gummo
• 6IX9INE-Kooda
• Lil Pump-Gucci Gang
• Lil Uzi Vert-XO Tour Llif3
• Lil Man-Betrayed
• Trippie Redd-Dark Knight Dummo

The Him's remix of Malibu is bad. Listen to the original, which is great.

Why can't we hear rap similar to Baby Got Back on the radio. It's too bad we have to listen to all this trap-influenced garbage on the rap stations all the time today.
