miguel wuz robbed

BUT STILL, go terj

King Terje <3 <3 <3

!!!!

Very happy with this.

"snooze for love" wasnt even in top ten last year was it?

that dog latin post actually kept me from listening to inspector norse until just now

Come on, deep down we all know it's ridiculous that "Call Me Maybe" isn't #1.

"snooze 4 love" was #5 and i think was v impt in paving the way for this

Inspector Norse is fantastic, though I voted for "Swing Star" instead and "Snooze 4 Love" was better than either . Second time in three years that ILM has crowned a European electronic track.

that dog latin post should be an imprisonable offense irl

yeah this would never have won if Terje hadn't placed last year

snooze for love will be remembered long after inspector norse is forgotten, but they're both monoliths

"snooze for love" wasnt even in top ten last year was it?

it probably helped that it was released in the first days of the year and had the advantage of 12 months of people discovering it, too

i think this is the first time ever i voted for all 3 of the top 3 in ilm trax poll

wow!

it probably helped that it was released in the first days of the year and had the advantage of 12 months of people discovering it, too

it was released right around the time that "snooze 4 love" placed iirc

i technically like CRJ better but i'm really stoked that terje got the crown

"inspector norse" was my no. 3 track all year so i'm really happy to see it win if "adorn" didn't

i'd rather hear 7 other tracks on the CRJ album right now, not that that's a slight against "call me maybe"

also it came out just when the tracks rollout was happening and Terje had "buzz". Someone actually predicted then that Inspector Norse would win iirc.

i saw benoit or some such person drop it on top notch speakers and it sounded fucking incredible

def one of my fav dance tracks ever but i don't know about that shit so

Never heard of Todd Terje till just now. Dope track!

Good job everyone

I didn't vote but so happy for Terje (also in my P&J ballot).

Voted for both "Inspector Norse" and "Call Me Maybe" (but not "Adorn") -- happy with the placement!

One of my highlights of 2012. Had a nightmarish weekend in Serbia for my brother's wedding, involving a missed flight and an unplanned stopover in Istanbul on the way. Had naff all sleep on the last night, got up at 1am to get ready for the taxi to Belgrade with my folks who were flying at 6, me waiting around to get an 8am plane, had really bad guts, like painful toilet trip more about every 40 mins. Was flying back via Copenhagen, had headphones on, was on shuffle, we're going over Malmö and it looks beautiful, coming down, late August, bright sun, in through the clouds, and 'Inspector Norse' is playing and I wouldn't swap any of it 'cause of those minutes of utter bliss, coming down into CPH like we're gonna go into the sea and it wouldn't matter if we did.

Also putting it on at a party on Boxing Day to a room of ppl who didn't know it and all lost their shit was awesome.

So pleased, I wish I'd voted but I'm glad it didn't alter the #1.

I think Inspector Norse is going to be big on 2012 trax poll

Whole mess of k-pop in the 78-100 stretch; slightly sad "Wavvy" just missed out but if that's the price of making sure GY!BE don't make into a singles poll so be it, heh.

Likewise, love "Call Me Maybe" but happy Terje took the crown.

what are 'enthusiasm' and 'diversity' in the spreadsheet?

xp I'll explain those on the stats thread, give me a sec.

psyched that my last min thrown together ballot w/ only the top 3 weighted made the difference. i'd like to thank this poll for introducing me to 'adorn' which is amazing but back last january the first time i heard the bit of this that distills every great headrush you've ever had in a club into 30 seconds i knew there could be only one.

yeah thanks! this is always the best end of year poll!

iamamiwhoami at 84, quite happy with that. Hope the album makes it.

Great list on the whole, good work everyone!

seandalai is the true hero

some point tomorrow or over the weekend i'm gonna post all the images in a separate single thread as well

Yeah we really messed up not ganging together for some k-pop songs this year.

Endlessly enjoyable winner, though.
