Kendrick Lamar feat. Rihanna - Loyalty.

At the time of writing, the 5 of the last 6 Hottest 100 winners have all found themselves accompanied by at least 3 other entries, paying dust to the idea that vote splitting is a death spell. That's all assured by the fact that this song snuck into the list at #97 (and not even being accidentally played as #98). Also like "Pink + White" the year before it, it gave an early opportunity to ease the list into the idea of the possibly once sacrilege notion of a Rihanna entry before getting further rubbed in a little while later. The song's pretty good too, but on the same day this all happened, Jeopardy Rachel made herself a 5 day champion by employing game theory in a good way to wisely bet $0 from 2nd place in Final Jeopardy and it's hard to deny which is more impressive.
