ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2017

guess The Arcana really did take this

well, my prediction for number one was wrong.

suspenseful end-of-rollout!

yeah i'm still uncertain which song got 78'd

From all the negative comparisons it got wrt Lost In Your Light, I'm afraid it's going to be New Rules :/

Great to see Akanamali place so high. Didn't vote for it as I only came across it in the noms thread and didn't really allow time for it to sink in, but it's great that such an outlier can place so high

makes the most sense to me but also.... where has sza been

Part of me kind of hopes that Boys is not in the top two, because 2017 is a year that proved that boys are fucking horrible and don't deserve to be sung about.

lmao

Objectified tho?

nice to revisit these kendrick tracks, i enjoyed but didn't spend a lot of time w/ damn

i'm was busy thinking 'bout boys / like for instance the fat jewish and charlie puth

when this poll is over we're all going to sit down and have a serious chat about music videos

you have another poll to boost, simon

boys video is almost inextricable from the song imo

This selfie was the best thing CRJ released in 2017

I think I've given up on my #2 vote making it btw

New Rules video is imo video of the year!

I was strongly opposed to Simon's views on music videos until I watched some of that Tove Lo one

next year we all promise to vote without watching any videos right

and listening to songs

New Rules video is imo video of the year!

lol weren't his "views" merely "wait people still watch music videos?" *clicks on despacito as the 4,739,219,210th viewer*

whatever it is i'm pretending "new rules" is no. 1, good work ilm

"Love Galore" is my best guess

ONE

there's no way Boys is #1 so it's Love Galore i guess? or all 6 SZA tracks are in the 80s???

"love galore" is a wonderful song and i'd be happy to see it as no. 1

Wow I can't believe every track of CTRL is no 1 simultaneously!

but also like, sza suffering from unbelievable vote splitting is just as believable

One of the more suspenseful count-downs in a while.

It's gotta be Boys

congrats saer! surely the first time an ilxor takes the tracks crown!

save us johnny fever

hope it's SZA, the Charli song just makes me want to listen to the MIA song with the similar name

Love Galore (or Drew Barrymore) would be a fine #1. i had Boys at 25 because i couldn't get it out of my head but i hope it isn't #1

music video with no boys in it vs. music video with mostly boys in it

We've all been thrown for a loop and it's going to go to Julien Baker.

sza suffering from unbelievable vote splitting is just as believable

didn't Ariel Pink get almost as many things nominated? def a bit odd for neither to get nothing in the 77 on that basis while other acts who will also do well in the albums list get two tracks no problem

Great song, voted this high on the back of the amazing 80s italo style initial talk remix but the original is undeniable too. Album great as well

it's been a weird year xp

I like CXCX just fine, but this is the weirdest #1 in this poll since "Wut."

:D
but srsly that Tove video is like pregnant spiderman goes to the dentist

can't remember we ever had a tracks poll where after #2 ppl still had no idea what #1 would be

The bass drop (?) in New Rules is the one of the most perfect things ever devised.

ah
