I've been tracking that ATRL poster's Hot 100 predictions since SOTMX began appearing and how accurate they have been. There's an Early prediction on Tues. and then a more refined Final one on Sundays. Here's how this last week's went. Points are awarded on some system and thats how the position is predicted.
Early Prediction
95 That's My Girl 37 (debut)
96 Sex With Me 37 (re-entry)
97 Hasta El Amanecer 36 (re-entry)
98 Wat U Mean 36 (-3)
99 Parachute 36 (debut)
100 Gangsta 36 (=)
Others
Shout Out To My Ex 34
Hold Up 33
Water Under The Bridge 29
Cool Girl 28
Million Reason 26
Final prediction
95 Sex With Me 39 (re-entry)
96 Water Under The Bridge 39 (re-entry)
97 80s Mercedes 38 (-6)
98 Dirt On My Boots 38 (debut)
99 Goosebumbs 37 (re-entry)
100 Hasta El Amanecer 37 (re-entry)
Others
That's My Girl 35
Shout Out To My Ex 35
Hold Up 31
Cool Girl 28
Million Reason 27
Actual: #95 Re-entry
The early prediction for next Tues. is now:
95 Setting Fires 39 (-9)
96 Shout Out To My Ex 39 (-1)
97 Redbone 38 (debut)
98 Kids 38 (re-entry)
99 Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen 38 (-6)
100 Call On Me 38 (-1)
Which is good, the longer the song can stay in the Hot 100 the longer it stays on various video and Spotify playlists.
But what about our gains and returning entries? Well, again, bit of a mixed bag, but I think it's a net positive overall. Yeah, it stinks that 'Bad Things' by MGK and Camila Cabello continues to rise to 46, but the rest here aren't bad....but looking to our returning entries... the worst here is Rihanna's 'Sex With Me' at 92, which is just mediocre. The rest are actually pretty great, from 'Goosebumps' by Travis Scott and Kendrick clawing back to 100, 'Shout Out To My Ex' by Little Mix stepping up to 95
