3 Weeks Left of 2017 Billboard Year

As of yesterday there are now only three weeks left in the Billboard year of 2017. The new streaming rule takes affect after that point (which will def create a shift in the genres that dominate. Pop could be set for a comeback) Anyway, the 2018 year begins on November 10th. So here we are. 

What songs will be at the top of the 2017 year end charts (out the first week of December)? 

Look for 

"Despacito" and "Shape of You" to battle for the #1 song of 2017. "Shape of You" spent 8 more weeks in the top 10 than "Despacito", but "Despacito" peaked at #1 longer than "Shape of You". Shape of You has also spent all 40 weeks in the Top 20, while Despacito has spent 26. MY guess is that "Shape of You" will get #1 and "Despacito" will get #2. The #3 song looks like it will be Bruno Mars' "That's What I Like". The song spent 21 weeks in the Top 10 and has been on the chart for 39 weeks. You can see their chart performances in 2017 below:

Cardi B's "Bodak Yellow" has spent 10 weeks in the top 10 so far (15 weeks total on the chart). With 3 more weeks left in the year, it;ll most likely earn 3 more weeks in the Top 10 this year, bringing her to 13 weeks in the Top 10 and 18 weeks on the chart. This could get her into the Top 10 songs of the year.

Taylor's MAJOR points for her first full week of charting could help her get in the Top 10 of 2017, with 3 weeks left. But I think this is a stretch. Don't it'll make it

WILD CARDS

Body Like A Back Road has been on the chart a while. Even though it didn't have a long time in the Top 10, its time on the chart could help it reach high on the year end countdown.

Based on longevity alone, even with its inability to make the Top 10, James Arthur's "Say You Won't Let Go" could make it high in the year end list. 48 of its 51 weeks on the chart were in the 2017 year.

Joanne has sold 350K albums in the 2017 Billboard year (the first 3 weeks charted in the 2016 billboard year)

This isn't even counting her streams and 350K is a big number. 

I'd even venture top 30

to bad both MR and joanne are split between 2016/2017, she could have charted even higher:sweat:

There's this thread on this music forum that actually seems to calculate points for accurate predictions, and it seems that MR will fall short.
