ILM'S TOP 77 TRACKS of 2011 (Los resultados!)

i can't believe how beyoncé just does everything perfectly: sings "tryna make a 3 from the 2" and then of course gets pregnant just in time for the video <3 <3 <3

I'm not even done listening to "Schoolin' Life," but I like it quite a bit better than "Countdown."

Lay Up Under Me was one of the non-album tracks too. Give it a whirl, jaymc!

"dance for you" was a bonus track too and i wholeheartedly cosign the love for that fucking epic thing

FOR THE MOOLAH
FOR THE POWER
(of love)

beyoncé in a couplet

all of the bonus tracks are better than most of the songs on teh album tbqh

schoolin' life is untouchable. should've been released and been #1 everywhere. i don't even care that she's just playing to every demographic, it's the most generous thing ever.

this is BEYOND sex

eh, I don't really think the bonus tracks are essential at all

all of the bonus tracks are better than most of the songs on teh album tbqh

factual statement of fact

like, they are good, but they are all second-tier b-sides

this is BEYOND sex

lol i thought she was singing "this is BEYONCÉ" at first

SWIRLIN' ON YA BABE~~~~

this is BEYOND sex

said just after "no MONEY can emphasise or describe..." for her they're pretty much the same thing!

P&J - 3
Pitchfork - 4

Todd Terje - I voted for this!

"dance for you" is the only one that i don't think is one of the best things on the album, it's a bit too cocktail party for me

Oh I nommed the Miguel song. Had no idea it was this popular on ILM. I listened to it nonstop around this time last year.

So the next trifecta is for the ladies right? Nicki, Lana and Azealia?

damn, i thought those were for sure the top 2

plz god let "212" win now

lol @ me only realizing yesterday that Super Bass = Superb Ass

TOO LOW for nicki!

wow so the two blog girls beat the two mainstream girls smh

should've been #1 out of the three left nooooooo

yeah I heart both but 212 >>>>>> VG

wait

she's not singing "this is beyoncé"? well that's disappointed me

It's pretty amazing that Nicki thanked Taylor Swift when receiving the AMA award.

i had more fun with super bass in public places than any other song this year. it just fucking CREATES moments.

i like "212" and "video games" a lot but tracks 3-6 >>>>>

lol @ me only realizing yesterday that Super Bass = Superb Ass

not really, they've been public friends for a while now

It's pretty amazing that Nicki thanked Taylor Swift when receiving the AMA award.

how is this "amazing"?

the part in "shit white girls say to black girls" where she starts singing "super bass" is pretty hilarious

Glad Azealia and Lana are gonna be at the top. Mostly because I've heard of and voted for these records. And also cos they're new artists.

I find it hard to believe Lana del Rey is at the top spots. I found videogames sort of unremarkable. Would rather listen to her other singles like 'born to die'.

I'm crossing my fingers at Azealia and some random favorite we're underlooking.

it was really remarkable how organic "super bass"s rise to becoming a huge huge ubiquitous smash hit was, having started life as a bonus track tacked on to the album proper - and how its increasing ubiquity just made me love it more and more

so many memories of rapping EVERY LINE with friends at house parties, in clubs, on public transport. YOU KNOW I REALLY GOT A THING FOR AMERICAN GUYS

Lana making the top 2 is a joke and a half, really

yup

As long as it's not close. I bumped Azealia down my list a bit to boost chances of long shots :/

i didn't even vote for "super bass" smh. guess i thought of it as 2010

Never heard Super Bass before, it's not bad!

blah blah blah
I'm Lana Del Rey
video games

^^^^ for all the impression she made on me, she might as well be singing that rather than whatever the actual lyrics are

i love how t-swift repped for it before it became big. proof of what a perfect person she is. <3

still don't get what's so great about this song

Glad Azealia and Lana are gonna be at the top. Mostly because I've heard of and voted for these records. And also cos they're new artists.

smdh kmft rmde

those are the actual lyrics xp

can't imagine listening to those verses and not just grinning from ear to ear

xp kind of feel like what's great about this song is EVERYTHING ABOUT IT and if you don't get that there's nothing that can be said to you to make you get it

1,023 points would have won last year's poll btw (admittedly we had a few more voters this time)

i love how t-swift repped for it before it became big

wasn't this the thing that actually kickstarted it being big? as nicki herself has said. it was certainly v impt

the t-swift/nicki "super bass" duet was so perfect.

how is this "amazing"?

― I spend a lot of time thinking about apricots (DJP)

That she felt the viral aftermath of that contribution was so big that she basically gave her credit for its success.

what's great about it: it's HARD AS FUCK and it's also BUBBLEGUM CANDY SWOON and it is all about having a massive crush on an amazing person and how that makes you feel even more of yourself and also totally powerless ALL IN ONE SONG

It is kind of weird and gross that the Year Of The Woman was spearheaded by a bunch of songs about women bending over backwards to change themselves into whatever the guy they were chasing wanted... and Azealia Banks talking about cunts
