There are some names I don't recognise but I think the vast majority of voters are legit and I'm not really interested in policing who can and cannot vote.

― a man with legs made of sausages - that's not real! (seandalai),

I thought some years we gave the #1 more weight?

and re real users - in metal poll there's tons of names I dunno yet they've been voting year in year out since glenn and i started it and they had to email in ballots back then.
I do wish Cronos Smith would identify himself tho!

actually a few lurkers did de-lurk this year on ilm and the poll thread.

there's never any block voting either to suggest its fake ballots. I think ilxors are too grown up to bother with that shit.

the top artists not to make the countdown is kind of interesting:

1. M.I.A.
2. The 1975
3. Chance the Rapper
4. Ariana Grande
5. Young Thug
6. 2 Chainz
7. The Juan Maclean
8. Boards of Canada
9. Kidnap Kid
10. David Bowie

xp to imago, I didnt save my ballot, its p slapdash

my ballot, weighted (with rival dealer no. 1).

Burial -- Rival Dealer
Vatican Shadow -- Enter Paradise
Movement -- Us
Porches -- Franklin the Flirt
Paul St. Hilaire -- Nah Ina It
Low -- Just Make It Stop
My Bloody Valentine -- Only Tomorrow
The Knife -- Without You My Life Would Be Boring
Darkside -- Paper Trails
Burial -- Hiders
Burial -- Come Down To Us
Ben Khan -- Drive, Part I
FKA Twigs -- Water Me
Dopplereffekt -- Tetrahymena
Machinedrum -- Gunshotta
Disclosure -- When a Fire Starts to Burn
Omar Souleyman -- Wenu Wenu
Neneh Cherry -- Blank Project
Special Request -- Broken Dreams
Beyonce -- Drunk In Love
Manic Street Preachers and Richard Hawley -- Rewind the Film

So - I thInk - only two of the tracks from my ballot made the 77. As such, will not be posting it as I'm afraid of being mocked and perma banned.

post it, anyway.

No! I am shame
Also: lone tear for Avant Gardiner just missing at #79

Only two of mine made it, I still posted.

I checked the spreadsheet - apparently only one did!! I also do not have mt ballot handy - I'm in a shack in costa rica right now.

I will say, my #1 was Unbeleivers and I also gave high votes to Courtney Barnett and Jagwar Ma.

Hell yeah al leong, Germans! I thought I was the only one here who was into them/her. Random discovery for me, they followed me on Soundcloud, but they have at least 2 fantastically smooth synthpop songs: this one and "Wonderhow"

Please reserve judgment about artist repetition until you have seen my album ballot. I think this is the first year I've submitted a full 25-track ballot, and the list I cut this down from could have given me 25 different artists, but I voted with my heart (more or less).

Saw some people questioning the placement of Full of Fire in the other thread

Need to point out it was properly released as a single

Obviously I'm as guilty as anyone else of voting for deep album cuts

But fuck you anyways

Going through the list of songs that didn't place

Feeling mad that Hot Juice placed and these didn't

Fuck ILM forever

Hot Fruit?

yes mr glyph, I think I had 8 tracks in common with you, and 6 in common with toby. It would have been 7 but I bumped Above the Cherry Moon at the last minute - what a great discovery for me, that track!

mixed:

John Grant - Glacier

Asaf Avidan - Love it or leave it
Bruno Mars - Treasure
Chase & Status - Count On Me ft. Moko
CREEP ft. Lou Rhodes - Vertigo
Daft Punk - Get Lucky
Daft Punk - Instant Crush

Goldfrapp - Drew
Hi Fashion - Eighteen
Joy Wellboy - Lay Down Your Blade
John Grant - GMF
Kris Menace ft. Chelonis R. Jones - Voodoo Dilate (Samo)
Lady Gaga ft. R. Kelly - Do What U Want

Wild Nothing - A Dancing Shell
Woodkid - I Love You
Young Galaxy - Pretty Boy

The poll rollout introduced me to some great songs I hadn't heard. I didn't have as much time to keep up with ILM this year so I'm grateful for that.

I think all the people who liked Duke Dumont or Rudimental should check out Chase & Status.

It would have been 7 but I bumped Above the Cherry Moon at the last minute - what a great discovery for me, that track!

I was pretty naive in thinking that it had any chance - I guess I was pretty naive all round in my ballot, I'd forgotten how many people had to vote for something for it to place.

Still, an amazing track, and an amazing artist. Hope his album lives up to the 2013 12"s.

Hell yeah al leong, Germans! I thought I was the only one here who was into them/her. Random discovery for me, they followed me on Soundcloud, but they have at least 2 fantastically smooth synthpop songs: this one and "Wonderhow"

i don't know if you nommed germans, whitey, but i only heard it bc of the spotify list. it was one of my late adds. loved it!

also i'm stunned that i was apparently the only person who voted for betty who's "you're in love". and maybe i was wrong about where i voted it? i thought it was #2 but maybe #3? no matter.

also i'm stunned that i was apparently the only person who voted for betty who's "you're in love"

I would've, but my BW vote went to Somebody Loves You and, with the exception of Beyonce, I didn't double up on any artists with my ballot.

Agoria - Scala

Yes! Love this one.

Who was the other Katie Got Bandz voter?

― The Reverend, Thursday, 23 January 2014 23:48 (Yesterday)

*raises hand*

Thought maybe monotony or lex might vote for it, though I guess there's an remote chance Drillary Clinton makes an showing in the albums rollout.

Who voted for KLP - Hands (Dcup Deep Bitch Remix) as their number one? I nommed it and had it as my no.3, glad to see someone else really likes it.

Thought maybe monotony or lex might vote for it, though I guess there's an remote chance Drillary Clinton makes an showing in the albums rollout.

i haven't had my katie got bandz moment yet like i've had with sasha go hard. talking of whom, i'm surprised and disappointed no one else in the world seemed to care about "rondo"; i wasn't into her before that but it was a WHOA moment for me when i first heard it and it stuck like that for the rest of the year

drillary clinton is obv the best album title of 2013 hands down though
