Personal: GotSkill's Top 20: Love on the Weeknd

Jackson

For this week's chart, click here

I've been keeping track of my top songs for a while now, so I thought it would be a good time to finally share my top charts here. My chart will be predominately pop and alternative rock with some country, indie, and dance influences as well. My chart is compiled based on a formula I developed that includes plays, general likeability, usage, and a few other things that I will try to explain in greater detail in the next post. I also use an inverse point system to track my top songs of the year that I will post occasionally. So, without further ado, here's my chart, from #25-#1.

For my first chart, open the collapse tags. For other charts and records keep scrolling

Inagural Chart

This week's chart sees post Grammy performers such as John Legend, Imagine Dragons, Kacey Musgraves, and chart-topper Katy Perry make high debuts as currently discovered songs fill in most of the rest of the chart. Dark Horse leads the chart by 19%, a fairly wide margin after its Grammy performance and as it tops the Billboard Hot 100. Although there are no foreseen threats to "Horse"s crown, an upset could easily knock it off its throne on next week's chart.

Please allow me to make a few formatting changes and fix a few errors over the next few days as I continue to get the chart situated and ready for next week. Within the next few days I will also post how the charts are tabulated and create sections for chart records and achievements, among other things.

Thanks peeps! I forgot to mention this will be a weekly chart. Normally I'll try to post charts on Friday night/Saturday morning. Still working out the format but this week's may come a bit early as I'll be in out of state this weekend for a big choir competition.

CHART RECAP
This week Dark Horse by Katy Perry featuring Juicy J holds at #1, although it is down by 5 points this week. Now only one point separates "Horse" and its new runner up, Talk Dirty by Jason Derulo and 2 Chainz. The former could surge next week as it continues its #1 Hot 100 run, as its video could drop any time. As "Dirty" ascends to the runner-up, it decreases by 1 point but rises 9 spots from its previous number 11 peak. Other songs rising on the chart include Can't Remember To Forget You due to its new video, and Transpose, a Dark Horse in its own right. 2 songs debut on the chart this week; Coming Home Part II by Skylar Grey, due to its usage in a Super Bowl ad last Sunday, and Choose Your Battles by Katy Perry due to a new acoustic remix I found online this week. Be sure to check back next weekend when a new chart is posted, as I do each week.

Also, how do you do this point formula? Not trying to steal, been using my formula for 1 year -- yours just looks interesting.

Oh, check out my Top 10 if you can too.

I'll check yours out. As for my formula, it contains a combination of mathematical things like plays and how I'm feeling. I combine plays, video streams, and audio streams first. Also at the beginning and end of the week I assign songs numbers from 1-3 that add points. These numbers are based on how into the song I was that week. Every song that was on the chart the previous week also automatically gets 2 points to make it a bit harder for songs to debut based on few plays. This point system I use to create the weekly chart. In addition I assign each song "chart points" based solely on position based on an inverse point system where #1 gets 20 points, #2 gets 19 points, etc (numbers 21-25 are more of a boiling under type of thing and don't get points). I use this point system to create monthly/yearly charts so a song that gets a lot of plays in a single week but fades quickly won't overshadow #1's with less weekly points but more longevity.

Basically it's a really complicated points system but it works well for me so I stick with it. It allows me to better distinguish between chart positions in a week where I don't play many songs.

That's really cute, never heard of that.

I count my chart strictly off plays, but as you said, to prevent too much flooding from new songs and #1 debuts every week constantly I shave 33% of plays off a song in it's 1st week.
