thread of miguel

Frank has a 0% chance of beating Miguel in albums

Kendrick is Miguel's main competition, Dawn is a dark horse contender. Other albums towards the top include Taylor, Swans, and Jessie

ha overestimating swans is really your thing huh

Haha maybe

I've just held the assumption that Miguel is more popular around these parts than Frank (who seems a lot more divisive here and has just never gotten quite a few people on board) for a while

not saying Miguel will necessarily beat Frank but it feels like there's a lot more enthusiasm for KD on ILM than CO. I could see it going either way.

a lot of 'visible enthusiasm' on ILM has more to do with who chooses to post at length about what than what they're listening to. there are plenty of indie bands that don't attract active threads during the year and then dominate ILM's year-end threads.

Idk mane songs @ 40, 17, & 3 imply a heavier voter bias than 23 & 20 do

ok so who's taking my $5 bet on this.

[spoilers] I voted for ADC and not kaleidoscope because 1. 2:19 adorn 2. ...ALL 3. you can kill me if 'kaleidoscope' misses the #1 by 49 points or less

wow you're an asshole

(...says the guy who didn't vote)

i feel pretty confident that kendrick will beat both by a lot but frank and miggy will probably be close. gut feeling tells me frank beats him out though. way more mainstream exposure

i can't see that miggy clip on my phone, what traxx did he choose?

eh the feature was only a cute bit of fluff but

'motownphilly', 'are you that somebody', 'tell me'

tell meeeeeeeeeeeee!

groove theory not dru hill :)

Whens the last time three songs from an album placed in the tracks poll and how did it do on the albums poll?

Eh, it's not that unusual. Remember that not just Miguel, but Jessie Ware and Nicki Minaj placed three tracks each in this year's poll. Last year Beyonce did and the year before that TayTay had three and Kanye had four.

:( i suppose that is a little more in miguel's style

Groove Theory >>> tho

i can't agree with you, if only because i recently had to run 10 laps around camden yards for saying 112 was better than dru hill

lol

Ha I prefer 112 too

otm. not even close imo

bummer, i wanna hear this
Groove Theory is a great choice

yeah, catalog is just stronger. DH's best songs are due for reappraisal though. xp

Is it weird that I listen to Dru Hill on a regular basis?

no that's pretty cool

jagged edge v. dru hill

a fairer fight, i can't all it, but i give the edge to DH

call it

wow, "adorn" is the first song in history to be on top of the r&b/hip-hop airplay chart for 20 straight weeks

http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/1531803/miguel-adorns-no-1-on-rbhip-hop-airplay-for-20th-week-weekly

well i guess that isn't necessarily straight weeks (?). but first to hit 20 in any event.

yeah they were consecutive, i'm pretty sure

damn!

Sweet

this is the only Dru Hill joint I ever really fucked with that much

I dunno, I always found Sisqo vaguely offputting

oh he's pretty ridiculous

'use me' on speakers slays - the overtracked vocals he does at 3:05 really leap out and fill the room

It's always weird to me to consider many people don't usually listen to music on speakers

I live in a small-ass apartment with lots of roomies : |

I listen to music quietly on my speakers all the time

kind of defeats the purpose?

mot really, since I generally can't stand wearing headphones

crying
