If An AI Decided The Countdown - Week Of Feb 22, 2025 (Final AI Post)

 

Hey guys! I've been thinking about this for a while, and unfortunately I've decided to discontinue these AI countdown prediction posts. They're not really that enjoyable to make, and I'm not gonna make posts that I don't enjoy doing. It's too frustrating trying to deal with this janky AI that keeps having random old songs reenter and have a bunch of huge drops and jumps that don't make sense. And plus I have to spend time fixing the formatting and adding my color code. So unfortunately, this will be the last AI countdown prediction post that I'm making.

If an AI decided the countdown, based off airplay and the latest AI reasoning model.

Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile [-18]

AI's thoughts:

• last night's mascara debuts at #30. This song saw a significant airplay increase (+24 plays, from 27 to 51), propelling it into the chart despite being outside the top 30 last week at #36. Its fresh entry highlights its growing traction among listeners.
• Sexyy Red/Bruno Mars - Fat Juicy & Wet exits the chart after falling from #22 last week. It was not listed in the airplay update, suggesting a decline in airplay, which likely contributed to its exit.
• DOECHII - DENIAL IS A RIVER (+17, from #30 to #13): A +7 play boost (from 44 to 51) helps this song make one of the largest jumps, moving from the bottom of the chart last week to a solid mid-tier position.
• LISA - Born Again f/Doja Cat & RAYE (+9, from #25 to #16): The biggest airplay gain of the week (+27 plays, from 17 to 44) drives this collaboration upward, highlighting the artists' combined appeal.
• LADY GAGA & BRUNO MARS - Die With A Smile (-18, from #3 to #21): Despite a small airplay increase (+2 plays, from 38 to 40), its relatively low play count compared to others suggests a decline in other metrics (e.g., streaming or sales), leading to a sharp drop.

• BILLIE EILISH - BIRDS OF A FEATHER (-12, from #8 to #20): A modest airplay gain (+2 plays, from 38 to 40) wasn't enough to prevent a significant decline, likely due to competition from songs with larger airplay increases.
• ROSÉ/Bruno Mars - APT holds steady at #1 for its sixth week, demonstrating remarkable staying power with consistently high airplay (94 plays this week, down slightly from 95). Its dominance continues to define the chart.

My thoughts:

• I love that the AI keeps making last night's mascara want to debut, even though this is probably never gonna end up debuting on the real countdown.
• Fat Juicy & Wet is probably exiting since it only had 1 spin a day.
• Sports car and Abracadabra are not making massive +15 jumps into the top 10.
• I don't see That's So True jumping to #2, but I see APT holding onto #1 for another week.
