A Year End Special: The Top Songs Of 2016

Hey guys! I have had this post ready for weeks and I am so excited that it is finally released to you! Now, it was definitely easier to make this chart compared to my Hits 1 chart, which if you haven't checked out already, I recommend you check it out. Now, the rules are very simple here, the song just must have charted on the chart this year. All peaks on this chart are above #30. I believe the lowest peak we have among this chart is #28, with two songs sharing that peak. Now, we are not doing the normal top 45 chart like last year as there was not enough space to fully account for all songs that performed well as the lowest peak on that chart was only #5. This year we aren't doubling up, no. We are tripling up! That means there are 135 songs to countdown! This chart is based primarily on yearly chart performance. The only thing listed will be the song's peak on the chart as it was last year. Now, I present to you this year's Hot 135!
