Wild that an artist I hadn't even heard of before these polls came in at #2. Glad Kendrick won.

What a top three! I'm disappointed Susanne didn't quite get thee but Kendrick is amazing and a well deserved winner.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 28 January 2016 20:28 (eight years ago) link
Kendrick got more votes/pts than any album in ilx yrly polls ever, which honestly would not have been too insane to predict happening

TWELVE number one votes for Ten Love Songs. Thank you ILM, it's great to see an album so seemingly ignored by media outlets so appreciated otherwise.
Ten Love Songs was among the 25 best-reviewed albums of the year (according to metacritic)

Wow @ Sundfør votes.
― emil.y, Thursday, 28 January 2016 20:29 (eight years ago) link
Susanne beating Kendrick would have been a travesty but clocking in at #2 is so gloriously ILM.
Also, 12 first places votes. Called it.

I was really hoping Sundfor would win this thing, since the winner of the albums poll has tended to be my favorite in the 4 prior polls. But Kendrick is fine.
― MarkoP, Thursday, 28 January 2016 20:32 (eight years ago) link
Kendrick was my number one and nothing else came close.
Sundfør was my number five and my number one purely ILM discovery. I've introduced this to a few people and it blew them all away.
― thom yorke state of mind (voodoo chili), Thursday, 28 January 2016 20:32 (eight years ago) link
I was really pulling for CRJ at number one. I haven't yet listened to the Susanne Sundfor one. Kendrick - some outstanding tracks but I really couldn't stand that stupid poem about the evils of Lucy and I didn't listen to it again after the first few weeks.
― how's life, Thursday, 28 January 2016 20:32 (eight years ago) link
Think I had CRJ #1, SS #2 but it could easily have been the other way around. Great top 3
― groovypanda, Thursday, 28 January 2016 20:33 (eight years ago) link
Well it helps that it only had 7 reviews counting towards its score.
― MarkoP, Thursday, 28 January 2016 20:33 (eight years ago) link
great work everyone, esp. forks, gr8080, ulysses, and any other poll runners
― Check Yr Scrobbles (Moodles), Thursday, 28 January 2016 20:33 (eight years ago) link
whoa @ top 5 placements - lividity at dawn being so low sort of counterbalanced by susanne being so high (and thank fuck grimes got shut out from the top 3). i know how much ten love songs was loved but it got so little critical traction outside of ilm, and neither song that placed was in the top 10, so i thought it might just be as niche within the board.
ten love songs was also the same trailer different park of 2015 for me in that it was the album i found it easiest to convert others to
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Thursday, 28 January 2016 20:34 (eight years ago) link
Some key people in the hype industry have failed when it comes to not bringing SS at least to a lot of year-end lists from publications, if not global success the likes Tove Lo got. I mean she's doing fine, touring europe and the us, but

and drake got 79'd, the square root of which is not eight-something

I lazily did an unweighted ballot, Ten Love Songs should really have been my number 1. Glad those extra 24 points weren't decisive. Great year for the albums.

also well played on the fake #3 curveball, scrolling down i nearly had a heart attack
made even better by drake actually getting 79'd, like not even 78'd

Re: Tinashe, I took for granted that it would make the list, but I guess too few actually listened. What a stupendous mixtape. A cornucopia of ideas, every song has something that could serve as a foundation for a full length album. At her most playful, inventive, confident, cocky.
