Billboard Hot 100 Top 20 Songs
Before i reveal the Wild Cards candidates, let me tell you the criteria to be included in Wildcard:
- The song should be in the top 10 songs for 3 months
- If the song already in the top 10 for 3 months, but they also out of the top 10 for 3 months too. that song is disqualified from the wildcard pick (Because just lke my rules, if the song out of the top 10 for 3 times, that song will be out from the competition
- If the song was in the top 3 for twice or more, that song automatically chosen to the wildcard even though the song not in the top 10 more than 3 times (some kind of special thing because of the great achievment)
- Average posititon will be considered, if there are more than 10 songs that qualified for the Wildcard requirement that i list above
- If there are still spots in the top 10 Wildcard phase, the song that inside the top 10 for 2 months and also has the best average position will be qualify to the list
Now, without any further ado, These are the 10 candidates for Wild Card:
Lady Gaga - Applause
Position: 8-5-3-3-6
(5 Months in the top 10 consecutively)
Demi Lovato - Heart Attack
Position: 6-5-8-13
(3 Months in the top 10 consecutively from overall 4 times apperance)
The Lumineers - Ho Hey
Position: 4-2-15-4
(3 Months in the top 10 from overall 4 times appearance)
Taylor Swift - I Knew You Were Trouble
Position: 2-6-4-3
(4 months in the top 10 consecutively with 2 of them in the top 3)
Passengers - Let Her Go
Position: 2-10-2
(3 Months in the top 10 with 2 of them being runner-up)
Fall Out Boy - My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light 'Em Up)
Position: 2-4-6
(3 Months in the top 10 consecutively, with 1 of them being Runner-up)
Lorde - Royals
Position: 4-6-14-20-7
(3 Months in the top 10 from overall 5 times appearance)
Capital Cities - Safe and Sound
Position: 8-3-10-7-19
(4 Months in the top 10 from overall 5 times appearance)
Bruno Mars - Treasure
Position: 3-3-2-2
(4 Months in the top 10 with all consecutively in the top 3)
Bruno Mars - When I Was Your Man
Position: 5-12-6-6-12-5
(4 Months in the top 10 from overall 6 times appearance)
There will be 3 songs that got the Wild Card spots in the Final 15 later
- BUT these 3 wildcard still have some disadvantage in the best of 2013 game later The Wildcard songs will have extra entry in the Best of 2013 competition every round
Feel free to discuss 
By the Way, Thanks for participating this game

Billboard Hot 100 Top 20 Songs
2013 EDITION: ACHIEVEMENT AND TRIVIA
- This year is kinda unique imo, there is only 1 song that win the game in their first appearance in the game. It is Imagine Dragons - Radioactive (March Edition). Compared with last year, there are 6 songs that won in their first appearance
- Last year edition, Bruno Mars is the only Male solo artist that can win the game. But it's different this year, there are 3 male solo song that win the title (Ed Sheeran, Phillip Phillips, and Justin Timberlake). And this year there are No solo female that win the game! (Last year we saw 2 Taylor Swift song, Pink and Ellie Goulding)
- If Taylor Swift made a record for the most appearance in the top 10 in 2012 edition with 7, this year Rihanna set the record for he most appearance in the top 10 in 2013 with 4 songs (Diamonds, Stay, Pour It Up, and the Monster)
- In May 2013, we saw for the first time there are No Female artist in the top 3 and also top 5. The first time since this game begun in January 2012
- from July 2013 edition, Rihanna feat Mikky Ekko become the only winner that Never in the bottom section
- And there are another songs that never in the bottom section in single months until semi-final. There are I Knew You Were Trouble (January), Applause (October), Sweater Weather (November), and Let Her Go (December)
- Meanwhile, Stay by Rihanna beat Titanium's David Guetta record for the most months spent before winning the title with 5 times appearance. (Titanium win after 4 times appearance) They start from March and winning the title in July
- With winning 1 title this year, Rihanna become the most appearance as the winner in this game of all time (in 2012 she win with Take Care and We Found love, in 2013 she win with Stay)
-Treasure by Bruno Mars is the song with the most appearance in the bottom section in 2013 with 11 appearance. It is tie with Phillip Phillips' Home record in 2012. BUT Home get another 1 bottom section appearance before he win in January 2013. With this fact, Home become the most appearance in the bottom section overall all the time with 12 times
- Justin Timberlake's Suit and Tie has the most appearance in the bottom section in single month (March 2013) with 5 times
- While Zedd and Foxes' Clarity become the winner with the most appearance in the bottom with 4 times in September
- Lady Gaga's Applause is the song with the most appearance in the top 10 with 5 (and this is her overall appearance, meaning she never out from the top 10)
- Last year, Locked Out of Heaven is the only winner that before it win the game, it didn't make it to the top 10. But this year, we got 3 songs with that situation. First is Ed Sheeran's The A Team (No. 11 in January, won in February). Second is Avicii's Wake Me Up (No. 12 consecutively in August and September then won in October). And OneRepublic's Counting Stars (No. 11 in Nov. and won in December).
- With that status, Avicii's Wake Me Up becoming the only winner that out from the top 10 more than once all the time
- Imagine Dragon Is the only act that win the title more than 1 (Radioactive in March and Demons in November)
- Just Give Me a Reason is the only winner that actually is the No. 1 song in Billboard Hot 100 in 2013
- Fun Fact, in September 2013, there is kinda unique pattern in order of elimination. from 9th place to 4th place, all the songs there were never in the bottom section previously. All bottom section was filled with the eventual 3rd place (Katy Perry's Roar, with 2 times appearance), 2nd place (Bruno's Treasure with 3 times appearance) and the winner (Zedd's Clarity with 4 times appearance)
- Sometimes we face auto elimination when the song entries ended up in the bottom section alone. Bruno Mars' get that situation twice with his song When I Was Your Man
- Fun Fact, there is kinda pattern for the winner order this year. every 2 months the winners were only have 1 word!
January: Home
..
March: Radioactive
...
May: Mirrors
...
July: Stay
...
September: Clarity
..
November: Demons
...
- Poor Royals, in December 2013, she never had a breathe air. Because since beginning of top 10 she always ended up in bottom section and be there 4 times in a row until it ultimately eliminated at 7th placed
- Harlem Shake by Baauer is the song with the worst average position after 3 times appearance with 22 (No. 23, 22, 21)

I would have chosen it but IKYWT in my honest opinion was robbed so badly in the January edition of this game...and by a 2012 song (that wasn't even good)
January is also my birthday month so I had to avenge Taylor and my birthday. My countdown in the Your Top Ten section runs every Sunday and in 2013 my birthday fell on a Sunday. IKYWT was #1 on my countdown on my birthday and so I had to make sure IKYWT was a wildcard.
