ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2014

The strings make it, IMO.

good song for midtier "fashion" clothing chains

Dudes this is one step away from "wine bar music" in terms of moribund musical "discourse".

i was just imagining places it would make sense to hear this song, idk

Matt DC otm. You could call half the music in this thread 'fashion chain' music if you wanted. Besides, how is this song all that different to, say, the Classixx song from last year?

it's way worse

For what is ILM but a catwalk.

I prefer the wizard remix. Gets rid of the violins.

The video was made by the group and features Haruka Abe as a Japanese fan of the band.[21] The band comments: "The video is about a Japanese fan of the band who becomes delirious and has hallucinations of band members and our logo appearing unexpectedly in her daily life as a chef. Filming in Tokyo was an amazing experience: we spent almost a week there and everyone was so helpful. We made it ourselves as always, which was quite scary as we've never produced anything so far away before. We had a bit of trouble filming the scene on the train though. Turns out it's considered incredibly rude to make noise on a train so when we started dancing around to the track in the carriage with the extras, it didn't go down well! Got shouted at."[22]

The music video was released on 5 December 2013 and has since received more than 199 million views.[22]

Also this song was absolutely massive right around the world which is more than you can say about all the wonky voiced Soundcloud rap in this list.

Violins are all over actual disco music and they make sense here IMO.

The drop-off to their other singles is precipitous.

this song is great

the aesthetics are all wrong (violins and general theatre kid vibe) but the core is a really emotional house song, so i'm down

Where's the beat tho?

m&s innocent smoothie keep calm and carry on nick clegg iirc, also maybe waitrose, I think maybe a brand of shampoo also but don't quote me

the beat in the verses is pretty good imo, blippy lil organ thing xp

God the album was absolute dogshit though, just reinforced every negative stereotype about them.

That was particularly better, no.

well for one i do agree this is an emotional house song at heart where the classixx song was a straight-up pop song ime.

also the classixx song was amazing and this song is just fine.

Err wasn't.

The song's comfiness is part of its whole appeal anyway, I mean "when I am with you there's no place I'd rather be".

the classixx song is better than this, but they're both good!

i think all of the 'soundcloud' rap i voted for i have heard on the radio in the uk

winebars

woah fully expected that to be #1. great song!

great timing

Also this song was absolutely massive right around the world which is more than you can say about all the wonky voiced Soundcloud rap in this list.

Well it's not as if top 40 radio in the US plays massively popular rap songs either, but you know what? FUCK TOP 40.

this song is so fucking good

that clean bandit song is awful

xp

yawn more taylor swift

style rightfully the top-placing tswift song

Blank Space and Out of the Woods are so much better, I'm somewhat surprised it did so well.

guitar <3

i remember when i first heard this song and i felt so targeted

I'm so out of the loop. Had no idea Taylor had a Billy Idol tune on her album.

great song, deserves to be the highest-placing taylor swift song

(watch "welcome to new york" place now)

Okay good this is not number 1. Something infantile about it.

Yeah I've come round to "Style" in a big way despite my general TS ambivalence

there is a youtube of her performing this live on TV as victoria secret models walk up and down a catwalk that has vietnamese subtitles and the aspect ratio is all fucked up and there's lots of crowd cheering and its actually kind of awesome, i had it on a loop for about an hour the other nite

this song is i n c r e d i b l e

the guitar sound alone, as brad has noted

love the italo bassline

Rev - I'm mostly making a point about what is and isn't considered a parochial concern here.

Matt DC otm. You could call half the music in this thread 'fashion chain' music if you wanted.

Would def listen to a "fashion chain" playlist.

my mom watches a lot of fashion shows and asked me to buy her albums by Lone and Disclosure after hearing some of their music in a couple of them

Doubt there is more 'for British ears only' in the list than usual

a song by my fav singer about my biggest celebrity crush that channels my fav band.

i've never felt more targeted in my life.

Heard two of my nominations for the first time in TK Maxx so that gives them a better strike rate than any radio station this year.

I'm not exactly a Taylor Swift fan but this song is really great. gr8080 is right about that italo bassline, it makes the song.
