Billboard's 2018 Year-End Top 25 Radio Songs, RANKED

StarlightSpanks Note: This is just the Top 25 and not the whole chart, I'm not gonna waste my time doing another long ranking.

DIE TIER (<0/10):
#25: Meant To Be - I'm entirely goddamn sick of how radio kept feeding it to their audience, and that it never died out. Smh

BLEACH TIER (0/10):
...none of these (thankfully)

SCRUB TIER (1/10):
#24: Perfect - Not surprising.

HORRIBLE TIER (2/10):
#23: Girls Like You - It's honestly sad that Maroon 5 followed a trend and mashed it with generic garbage and made it work.
#22: Mine - Was never in favor of this being successful, even as a meme.
#21: Never Be The Same: ITS YOU BABEEEEEEEEEEEE

BAD TIER (3/10):
#20: The Middle - AMAZING vocals + A COMPLETELY ORIGINAL DROP = this 'masterpiece'

PASSABLE TIER (4/10):
#19: I Like Me Better - Used to be cool with it, but now that it hit radio and actually stuck around for a long time I'm getting sick of it.

MEH TIER (5/10):
#18: God's Plan - Still don't hate this.
#17: Nice For What - Will talk about this in my Hot 100 Year-End review.

DECENT TIER (6/10):
#16: Light's Down Low - ...wow, we got to the decent tier and this time only the 10th song. Well anyways, I don't honestly see the huge fuss about this, yes the lyrics are generic but at least he doesn't squawk that badly like in 'The Middle'.
#15: Bad At Love - Nowadays it's like either I'm cool with hearing this on the radio or I'll just turn the radio off
#14: Love Lies - A mostly lackluster performance that's way too inoffensive.
#13: I Like It - Will talk more about this on my Hot 100 Year-End review.

GOOD TIER (7/10):
#12: Delicate - Well it's quiet in its good way.
#11: Rockstar - Still don't know why I never minded this being on the radio for a while.

GREAT TIER (8/10):
#10: Psycho - Uh the beat's good...?
#9: Boo'd Up - Now that I think of it, this should've deserved to be more successful considering this is the only summer song that actually sounds like a summer song lol
#8: Better Now - Post actually has passion here, good for him
#7: Havana - That trumpet solo's actually perfect though.

AMAZING TIER (9/10):
#6: Feel It Still - Still good Ig
#5: No Tears Left To Cry - Deserved Top 10 rip
#4: New Rules - I really don't see why people hate this, the lyrics are honestly great.

FANTASTIC TIER (10/10):
#3: Thunder - On the other hand I do understand why nobody likes this.
#2: Finesse - I really did enjoy this while it was still popular.

GOD TIER (>10/10):
#1: Whatever It Takes - And holy crap I'm surprised this made the Top 25.

Well, we did it folks. The Hot 100 may have been bombarded with horrible hits but at least radio was saved. My total score was a 152/250, or 61%. Yes, 61%. Never had a rankdown go this high lol.

This is StarlightSpanks, signing out.

146/250, or 58.4%. While 2018's hits in general were not so good, the biggest songs on radio in 2018 were still mostly solid in my opinion, minus a few blips here and there (cough Meant To Be). - StarlightSpanks (10/7/2020)

On a 5-point scale the total score is 69/125, which is 55.2%. Still a good score. (11/10 is equivalent to 6/5 in my rating system) - StarlightSpanks (10/7/2020)
