lol

i've had the tape store bat signal up since midnight

I'd have thought a Chairlift track would have at least made the lower rungs of the poll. No hope for 'I Belong in Your Arms'?

"king of hearts" is really dope tho, it seemed like nothing and kinda craven even initially but it really grew on me. her voice works well on that song... there's enough space to make it work.

richard x remix is a total headrush as well

We're definitely due for an Richard X presents his X-Factor, Vol. 2.

damn@that Cassie track.

I forgot about Cassie. This is a nice surprise at this point.

I thought this was a lock on the top 77 but I don't think it has a chance on the top 20.

Cassie placing in ILM poll shocker

*ice grills cassie brigadiers*

Hey, didn't think this one would score so high. This is not Cassie's best song in her interminable leaks period (several of the leaks were much better), but it's still pretty great and I'm glad to see it place here.

i have a lot of affection for the cassie fan club but the magic is gone, long gone, from her music

can we please finally let the sun set on this unfortunate bit of crumpet now

Cassie placing in ILM poll shocker

Not really meant it as a surprise for ILM. More that I completely forgot about this song.

Though this isn't quite up there with Richard X's "Rocket" or even "Method Of Modern Love" mixes.

(several of the leaks were much better)

ALL of the 2007-8 leaks shit all over this

richard x is over half a decade off his prime too

And I didn't expect it to place this high.

"King of Hearts" was the song of 2012 that I kept forgetting about until it came up on shuffle of whatever, reminding me that, oh yeah, I love this song. Thankfully, I spotted it on the nom'd tracks list when I went to do my ballot.

Sure, Lex, "Thirsty" and "Turn the Lights Off" and several others are far better than "King of Hearts" but I still thought this was good enough for a low ballot vote.

Remix does nothing for me: 45 secs xps

relistening now for the first time since the week it came out and still nope, this isn't doing it

beating out "matte black truck" by 20 places, smh

man, I'm gonna have to redo my joke #1 image post now

maybe she can hook up with the pet shop boys next, really eke out those last few popjustice pennies

Lol @ Cassie attempting to pander to a couple of dozen British people she read about in a magazine once and getting it wrong in the process. The song itself is flimsy as fuck.

lex otm this is a bit weaksauce considering where it placed and the poll so far

like this is significantly higher than "Ride" was in its respective year (not to draw up pointless juxtapositions)

i honestly have no idea even which BIT of the richard x remix j0rdan thinks is a headrush

i'm listening to it now and...there's nothing that comes close to headrushiness

the least cfc could have done was propel 'boys' to place

"Unfortunate bit of crumpet".

Just...

I doubt we'd agree which 50%, e.g. "Thinkin' 'bout you" is possibly my least favourite cut.
Sweet Life and Super Rich Kids is all I really like off side 1 so yeah mainly them and Pyramids onwards. I didn't like the album enough to vote for it but it has enough for me to always go back to it.

xp you may think she's had a solid career but i can assure you it's been plagued by setbacks

wait up apparently just today cassie has released a remix of "all gold everything" called "all gold, all girls" featuring TRINA and lola monroe

gonna put handing my cfc membership card in on hold til i've heard this

It's kinda silly to say Richard X is off his prime. He does one thing: candy coated archipegiation. It hasn't really responded to current music, and it was out of date on his first outing.

damn who voted for this shit?

and who would've thought that cassie would be the one thrown on the cross this year

times, they are a changin'

there you go, lex

i think i quite like that frank ocean song pyramids. it's so relaxed and he seems so poised, his voice sounds sometimes like stevie wonder, sometimes like some other soul singer of the 70s or 80s i just have forgotten the name of. i guess i have to think about listening to the whole album. the other two songs taylor swift and cassie do nothing for me. the taylor swift song is just so amazingly average and ordinary, i don't understand the appeal of it at all.

lol poor cassie

let's move on to more important questions

17. MIGUEL "Do You..." [415 points, 13 votes, 2 first place votes]

Spotify / Youtube

ugh yes, this deserves its place. better than adorn imo

Yay! My Miguel pick. Love so many things about this song.

Even the "rock/paper/scissors" bit, why because that's the corny stupid stuff that people do in relationships.

possibly my fav screencap of all time

damn who voted for this shit?

every Miguel song just missed my ballot, apparently (I thought I'd voted for at least one...)

i listen to this song for hours on end

ugh yes, this deserves its place. better than adorn imo

way better

absolutely love "do you...", it asks all the important questions and is one of the only songs i've heard that makes drugs sound romantic and tender because actually they ARE - captures the intimacy of it

i heard it on the radio for the first time semi-recently and lol'd a little at the radio edit

the chiming guitars that come in on the second verse - now THAT'S a headrush. so perfect that the video cuts to his gf just vibing out on headphones at that point
