Huh.
Will once again plug the Howie Lee remix of Boys, though it just missed my ballot.
Interesting rollout. Can't believe SZA didn't make it. First year I don't catch up on the Singles Jukebox and "Akanamali" takes me by surprise, though I guess I don't follow South African stuff compared to Nigeria/Ghana/Angola/etc. Gorgeous track!

the mario sound effects are cute and i guess it's nice to have a gender-flipped version of ludacris' "area codes"

SZA better win albums to make up for this

Here's an interesting piece of trivia: Emil Warren co-wrote bouth #1 and #2 on our list
― abcfsk, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:31 (six years ago) link
great list. thanks guys!
― nxd, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:31 (six years ago) link
the Mario coin sound is good. Song as a whole is whatever.

That would be me

Sophie-produced 'Yeah Right' for Vince Staples nearly my own #1 tbh
― nashwan, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:32 (six years ago) link
and also somebody from the band slaves. i could probably assemble a worst list of men but it wouldn't be that much worse xxxp
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:32 (six years ago) link
thanks guys, indeed. today's run only had a couple of things i was interested in but nevertheless the rest of the poll was excellent.
― Badgers (dog latin), Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:32 (six years ago) link
this song had nothing to do with PC Music except some of them are in the video
the very PC Music-heavy album Pop 2 she released in December though is by far her best release and I hope it wasn't ignored in the albums poll
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:32 (six years ago) link
i think boys is great but would put it at the second half of a top ten and i guess there were enough people who felt the same way that it won with majority rules
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:32 (six years ago) link
She gets worse with each new release cycle imo (first album was the best).

I made hints earlier about ILX voting on auto-pilot, but that was based on a guess that HAIM was going to show up somewhere.

who literally got 78'd?
― rob, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:34 (six years ago) link
...and #78 was?
― faust apes (NickB), Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:34 (six years ago) link
78 is big thief
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:35 (six years ago) link
Big Thief is #78
"Boys" is grebt and I couldn't leave it off my ballot, although I did on first pass.
― Jeff W, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:35 (six years ago) link
aww it was Big Thief

my fault for voting for a different Big Thief song, I guess

I should have put Drew Barrymore higher on my ballot but I figured it likely wouldn't need my help and I was voting for the album anyway, oh well.
great poll, thanks for doing this
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:37 (six years ago) link
thanks to all the poll-runners

yes thanks guys + seandalai
― faust apes (NickB), Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:37 (six years ago) link
I agree that it isn't her best track, and also that it doesn't deserve to be #1, but it was still in my unranked 25, would have been at the lower end if they were ranked

never got over the disappointment of the CXCX song not just being a cover of this
― nashwan, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:38 (six years ago) link
Fun list, good job, top 20 a little less my kind of thing, but I discovered lots of great new tracks on the way, more than any other site's year-end list.

thanks the poll runners! ILX polls are the only ones i really care about tbh
― marcos, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:42 (six years ago) link
Thank you! "Boys" never lost its magic for me this year. We play it around the house a lot - our kids love it. Friends always ask 'who is this?'
Can someone share the list of #1s that either didn't rank or didn't get another vote?
― Indexed, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:42 (six years ago) link
yeah thanks to all who ran this! great rundown barely even tainted by a dull top 4
― #TeamHailing (imago), Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:43 (six years ago) link
my favorite thing about "Boys" on relisten is how economical it is - not a second wasted
thanks to the poll-runners, fantastic year!
― Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:43 (six years ago) link
Lol, I'm really embarrassed to admit this but all this time I thought Drew Barrymore had released a single this year :D
