I nominated "Bleeding Love" and will be kind of shocked if it isn't there tbh

I'll give you one (non) clue about the next track: it has not been mentioned once in this entire thread.

Courtship Dating to sneak in cos everyone had it at number 15 or something? I forget whether or not those guys are hated or not on ILX.

"Happy House" will be in the top 5. This is a given. I don't see why anyone thinks "If I Were a Boy" or "Bleeding Love" have a chance in hell.

maybe my first placing for guilty simpson will pay off ;)

Bleeding Love is horrid. Worse than American Boy.Btw I hadn't heard that Young Jeezy track and it's terrific. Thanks ILM!

Maybe voting coincided with the inauguration and a load of people went straight back and voted soppily for My President.

Bleeding Love is horrid. Worse than American Boy.
Doesn't do much for me either, but I thought it was generally quite well liked.
― Shallow Gravy (Billy Dods), Friday, 6 February 2009 20:48 (fifteen years ago) link
that would be... unfortunate
― nosotros niggamos (HI DERE), Friday, 6 February 2009 20:48 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm amazed - I was sure 'American Boy' was a shoo-in for no.1. First time I've heard it for a while, still a great record

Maybe my #1 vote for "Love in This Club" somehow convinced all the haters, haha.

Kevin K I've come round a bit to "Skeletal Lamping" again...it's a good album to listen to as a whole, but trying to "get" individual tracks is imo maddening and pointless :)
(and yeah, The Fiery Furnaces are mad underrated here)

really miffed "princes" (GANG GANG DANCE) has been passed over
― rent, Friday, 6 February 2009 20:53 (fifteen years ago) link
...if it has been
haha good :) that's just what i tell people, i think if a record gives you an 'in' song that you can learn to love, it'll be easier to let your guard down and really engage with the rest of it. that was the first ninety seconds of the album and 'an eluardian instance' for me. but we can talk more about it next week if, lord willin', it places

xpost i would be down for 'princes'; i didnt get into the record until just recently, and princes is fantastic
― jammed hymen (k3vin k.), Friday, 6 February 2009 20:55 (fifteen years ago) link
prev post was xpost to LJ btw
I think what makes me enjoy the album is that I really like plenty of the little bits, and plenty of the transitions between bits. I almost try to forget that it's made of songs, UNLIKE, say, The Fiery Furnaces' albums, whose songs, no matter how complicated, almost always have some sort of decipherable and hermetic narrative.
― Robin van Injury (country matters), Friday, 6 February 2009 20:58 (fifteen years ago) link
What about "Swagger Like Us," is that gonna place?
― ilxor, Friday, 6 February 2009 20:58 (fifteen years ago) link
there is no way more people voted for slu than a milli or put on.

okay I swear this is my last Santogold post on this thread but this kind of highlights why "Starstruck" is secretly my favorite song on the album:

what's love story?

What about Miley Cyrus, any chance for "See You Again" here???
― ilxor, Friday, 6 February 2009 21:00 (fifteen years ago) link
"Love Story" is Taylor Swift...
swagger like us? wtf

here's a tip for all you miss cleos out there: predict songs for the top 5 that people actually like
danity kane "damaged" is obviously going top 5
― The Brainwasher, Friday, 6 February 2009 21:02 (fifteen years ago) link
na i can't see SLU placing; it's a poll, so it's going to be something that a LOT of people voted for. totally forgot about 'love story', yeah that could find a place. paper planes and blind too

No Dizzee thus far, but there's been a couple of other polls where I've been the only one repping for him so I have no great hopes there. No Coldplay yet either

Jazmine Sullivan?

that's me being crazily optimistic

I think the only thing Dizzee had this year was the Calvin Harris abomination - I can't comprehend a world where that beats Hot Chip let alone A Milli or American Boy.

Ray J - "Sexy Can I"
― nosotros niggamos (HI DERE), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:07 (fifteen years ago) link
na i can't see SLU placing - ya I thought the T.I. singles were pretty lackluster except for NMW, at least compared with King. Hopefully SLU and "Whatever You Like" (that didn't already place, did it?) will be absent.
― Ricky Apples (Pillbox), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:09 (fifteen years ago) link
guys, Battles was #2 in 2007. It'll probably be TV on the Radio or Fleet Foxes or something.
