So between charli, Selena, Kendrick, sza, crj and dua lipa, one of them's getting brutally 78'ed :/

beautiful song

This really would've been a neat #1.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:07 (six years ago) link
This song on the top 10 feels very ILM to me. Voted for it obviously think this might be the first year where a song in my top 10 ends in the top 10.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:07 (six years ago) link
I'm listening for the first time and <3 ILM for voting this so high. Those rising warm house pads are so gorgeous.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:07 (six years ago) link
I think I actually voted for new rules and bad liar too but not inmy top10 iirc.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:08 (six years ago) link
aww, this is really nice. wish i’d made more of an effort to follow african pop music this year but my attention was already stretched thinner than that pancake-looking woman off dr who
― faust apes (NickB), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:08 (six years ago) link
every single sound that is introduced on that track is warm and pleasant, v sweet song.
― Spottie, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:08 (six years ago) link
he has an album coming sometime this year so hopefully it'll be great
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:08 (six years ago) link
This was my #1 which I felt a little strange about since I only heard it for the first time in, I think, November. But Samthing Soweto's vocals are absolutely the best thing I heard all year, and the production is perfect for it
― rob, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:09 (six years ago) link
listening for the first time now, but yeah this is awesome and ufo otm about that organ solo

I'm just happy Akanamali placed! Well done, ILM!

these two are great as well and are going to be on the album
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:12 (six years ago) link
i thought this song was gonna place somewhere in the fifties. this is so great
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:12 (six years ago) link
btw - and i'll mention this again when we get there - i have the top 177 tracks queued up to add to the playlist as soon as we hit #1, so there is much listening yet to be done.

This is really pleasant.
― No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:13 (six years ago) link
I love both CRJ and Charli but I hope it's either of them that doesn't make it this year.
― daavid, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:13 (six years ago) link
same. feel like "new rules" is most likely to have been 78'd though
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:13 (six years ago) link
i kinda expected Boys and Bad Liar to both show up around where Green Light did
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:14 (six years ago) link
Really not sure what's going to miss out here. I know Carly Rae Jepsen is popular on here, but there's barely any discussion about that song on her thread. Could SZA have suffered from major split voting? I hope Selena has made it. I can't see New Rules missing out.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:15 (six years ago) link
we could stop the poll here, and declare Akanamali the ILM song of the year
― Dan S, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:16 (six years ago) link
This is sorta cool, because I don't have to post #2 and #1 together. No one knows what's missing.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:18 (six years ago) link
yeah i can't remember this ever happening before
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:18 (six years ago) link
I'm guessing SZA got vote split to death. The Weekend, Drew Barrymore, Doves in the Wind, Prom, none of them have placed.

A couple of years ago half the poll seemed to be Kendrick Grimes CRJ Future Sundfør. This year's is just so much more interesting.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:22 (six years ago) link
i'm hoping that New Rules is missing because i like all the others much more
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:23 (six years ago) link
this that put the kids to bed
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:23 (six years ago) link
it's like the best pop song of the year and i'll think less of the list for it missing xp
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:24 (six years ago) link
didn't vote any Kendrick for tracks b/c whenever I put on "DNA" I had to listen to the rest of the album & so the album was so obviously album of the year / decade / whatever, a unity
― droit au butt (Euler), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:24 (six years ago) link
but it's not like i helped it out, it's just kinda kicking it at the end of my ballot xp
"dna" is so awesome
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:26 (six years ago) link
If Lost In Your Love placed then New Rules definitely will but top four is way too high.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:26 (six years ago) link
either way, it looks suspiciously like the top four tracks are all by women
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:26 (six years ago) link
Kendrick videos are always great, but the ones from DAMN are just another level.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:27 (six years ago) link
saer is a woman right?
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:27 (six years ago) link
New Rules just doesn't do much for me, nothing really hooks me and i wish it had a real chorus idk
DNA's placement is obviously well deserved, beat switch is great
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:28 (six years ago) link
it has an extremely real chorus
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:28 (six years ago) link
The one two three bit is magnificent but the actual 'I got new rules' hook is a real damp squib after that.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:30 (six years ago) link
"DNA" is his best pure single imo
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:31 (six years ago) link
Voted for Akanamali after it appeared on the campaigning thread, so thanks to whoever posted it. Gorgeous track
― i know kore-eda (or something), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:31 (six years ago) link
part of the appeal of "new rules" is how it encases a breathless chorus hook within an expected drop, we'll have to agree to disagree on "damp squib"
love to discuss a song that may not place at all at this point lol
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:31 (six years ago) link
yeah matt otm. i get that it's trying to have the vocals be like the processed (are they processed? i can't tell) vocals in a drop, and they're not quite the focus there, but it doesn't work for me
