ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2012

rev otm about the guitars in "running", just >>>>>>>>>

oh shit it already started and i need to read back 988 messages so excited brb

Jessie Ware will probably be top five in the albums so I wouldn't worry too much about vote-splitting here.

Jessie Ware album was my favorite thing about 2012 music. I did not vote for either of these tracks, though I like them both, but I did vote for 2 other JW tracks.

Love Wildest Moments, which overtook Running for me in my reassessment for this poll.

i just looked up jessie ware's chart positions and it's kind of weird to me that she's never actually had a (top 40) hit! like i really felt she got a lot of mainstream traction and wasn't just a critic fav.

I voted for two JW tracks - could easily have been five. Her lack of proper pop success is baffling to me.

Wildest Moments p much the only song on the Ware album I actively dislike, but I get why people would.

I hear her in clothes shops a lot but idk if that's a sign of anything.

Wildest Moment was the first one I've voted on so far! I'm really discovering a lot of amazing tunes. Love Angel Haze and Mongolian Jetset as well, hated the Haim-one, as I've hated every guitar-based song so far.

The album went top five in the UK though, she's still pretty successful.

Nothing placed from my list so far, which is only a good thing I suppose.

Jordan S., great gifs man!

is the jessie ware alb ever going to get a physical u.s. release? i want to dig into it but they are making it really hard on me.

AWESOME

NNGGHHHH!

NNGGHHHH!

do i sound like a helicopter? brrrr

NNGGHHHH!

Never heard this one, I think.

the nnnnghh!!! is attempting to win me over on its own

just catching up to the 17min version on Issue Generator-- is the official version the one with ambient coughing/shuffling noises in the background?

cher lloyd is a bit..... extra for me

"want u back" is good but i think there's some "we want cher lloyd" to be a thing bias going on... rita ora made better tracks this year for instance

her enunciation of "res-tau-raaaaant" <3 <3 <3

"we want cher lloyd to be a thing"*

i want all my ballot choices to be a thing tbh

i think there's some "we want cher lloyd" to be a thing bias going on...

what does this even mean

rita ora made better tracks this year for instance

stop trolling

both the US & UK videos for that song are some of the worst of the year too btw

oh I have heard this somewhere, not really my thing I guess

this song put a big smile on my face whenever I heard it on the radio but I never really cared about it per se

rita ora has literally zero character in or out of her rihanna cast-off songs

This one's also a bit gorblimey blood sausage for my liking but the helicopter bit is still <3 <3 <3

what does this even mean

that cher lloyd sang soulja boy on the x factor so people rate her 7-ish pop tracks over everyone else's 7-ish pop tracks

nnnggggh

rita ora made better tracks this year for instance

tru...I voted for Rita in both tracks and albums.

i'm not even really on the "we want cher lloyd" bandwagon but rita ora is some jessie j-level garbage

This one's also a bit gorblimey blood sausage for my liking but the helicopter bit is still <3 <3 <3

lol I was just reading this post when I got to the helicopter bit, kind of redeems the whole song

Was this a hit btw?

still not really sure how this spacker managed to crack the septic market but fair play song's legit fun

wish to once again point out ftr however that she entirely owes her NNGHH paper to that renowned barrel of fun GIGGS the road rap mc

off the top of my head, two pop tracks that no one cares about that sound just like that cher lloyd track but that are better: rita ora "how we do (party)" & jessie j "domino" (plus some one direction tracks)

lol yeah this is a good song but

I fuck with 'Hot Right Now' but that doesn't quite count and yeah Rita Ora has zero personality whatsoever.

rita ora is most underrated pop track of the year imo (or maybe the one big the wanted single) and "domino" is like a top 3 katy perry track, i didn't even know it was jessie j for like 3 months

rita ora glottal stops like hell except for when pronouncing her own name

she might have an antisocial personality

This song was Cher Lloyd's breakout hit in the US. I guess "Oath" isn't going to go anywhere but they play/played it on the radio where I live. I think it's alright but I would never have thought to vote for it.

1) not really 2) it's almost like cher lloyd is really charismatic on record and her personality elevates her song

still not really sure how this spacker managed to crack the septic market

Still annoyed they took the grimey one off the album for that.

Radioactive was my particular Rita Ora fave of the year, but that whole album is full of ott ridiculous gems that are awkward and clumsy and loveable and full of personality imo.

2) it's almost like cher lloyd is really charismatic on record and her personality elevates her song

cuz she makes a sound with her mouth?
