What Are Our Predictions for the Rest of the Year on the Billboard Hot 100?
This week's Five Burning Questions looks at some of the biggest things we're still wondering about on Billboard's signature songs chart for the final couple months of the calendar year.
As the year draws to a close, Billboard staffers take a look at the current state of the Hot 100 and make predictions for the final months. Following 24 weeks at No. 1, Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" has now been displaced from the top spot by Taylor Swift's "Patient Zero." While both songs are likely to stay in the top two for the remainder of the year, it's uncertain which will hold the No. 1 position.
Some believe "Choosin' Texas" will maintain its reign due to its current momentum, while others think Taylor Swift's hit will prevail, possibly benefiting from a holiday boost. Another contender in the race is ADÉLA's "Nicole Kidman," which has gained significant buzz and could secure a spot at No. 1 without any holiday assistance.
With just two months left, Tate McRae's new single, "Housewife," is also worth watching, as it has recently entered the Hot 100 rankings.
