That Poll is a real crowd pleaser : 2016 Tracks Poll debrief, ballots, and haters mad for whatever reason

Oh, and Friends is mostly on there because Summer Friends wasn't nominated :(

aw, I only voted for the track but it's a lovely album. that song ruled/ruined me though. plus it had video of the year xxp

Tagaq/SQ songs obv

Mr. Eazi & Eugy - Skin Tight
Olatunji - Oh Yay
Popcaan - Ova Dweet
Rihanna - Work
Tiwa Savage - If I Start to Talk

Didn’t expect most of these to place but dang. otoh, I think the ratio will reverse for my albums ballot, where I was much less quixotic

I'm usually pretty hivemindy so turning up in the bottom three on that score is like woah. I liked a lot of the music in this poll but my ears have been in a totally different place for most of the year.

only bottom 15 for me but same, though I fully expected it. I think I actively liked more of the poll than usual this year though.

I wish I'd paid more attention to what Princess Nokia track was the most hivemindy as I probably would've voted tactically there.

My ILM ballot was a bit different than Pazz & Jop--different deadlines, so I caught up with a couple of things I missed--but I didn't save a copy. These were the songs, order might be slightly off:

1. “Dropping Houses,” Wussy
2. “All Night,” Chance the Rapper
3. “Emotional High,” Mannequin Pussy
4. “Black Spasmodic,” Tribe Called Quest
5. “Am I Wrong,” Anderson .Paak
6. “The Pop Kids,” Pet Shop Boys
7. “Old Friends,” Pinegrove
8. “Black Beatles,” Rae Sremmurd
9. “30 Keys,” Ka
10. “Lockjaw,” French Montana
11. “Wicked,” Future
12. “Work from Home,” Fifth Harmony
13. “Work,” Rihanna
14. “This Girl,” Kungs vs. Cookin' on 3 Burners

I'm sure I would have voted for 15 songs...can't remember the other one.
