never got over the disappointment of the CXCX song not just being a cover of this

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

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!

Don't know what I was expecting at #1, but it wasn't Charli XCX.
― Moodles, Thursday, 25 January 2018 20:13 (six years ago) link
Thanks, pollrunners! That CXCX song has some nice bleeps in it but is very underwhelming.
― emil.y, Thursday, 25 January 2018 20:14 (six years ago) link
I was also somewhat surprised that Rita Ora almost made it. I didn't have any hopes after the lukewarm reception it got in TSJ.
― daavid, Thursday, 25 January 2018 20:15 (six years ago) link
two jlin songs in the top 177 probably bodes well for the album
― faust apes (NickB), Thursday, 25 January 2018 20:16 (six years ago) link
Taylor with four in the top 177... think she'll crack top 20 in albums?

Thanks poll runners! Massively satisfying roll-out, and as a ride or die Charli XCX fan, "Boys" at #1 is the cherry and powdered sugar on top. Even if it's not her best song. This year, even.

and yes thank you poll runners! the images are esp fabulous. It was also amusing to scroll through them in between results and note how so many of the bands have a blonde woman lead singer + dudes (with Alvvays as the exception that kinda confirms the trend)

I was bummed not to see Phoebe Bridgers. "Funeral" was either my #1 or #2. I know a couple of her other tracks were nominated though.

xxp Only two Björk songs were nominated! But in theory that should have helped. Suspect the album will do alright.
Thanks, poll runners! Great as ever.
― Jeff W, Thursday, 25 January 2018 21:00 (six years ago) link
'new rules' is insanely catchy. i'd never even heard of dua lipa before the rollout. i guess i just sorta burrowed deeper into my own taste this year.
'akanamali' is beautiful.
great results this year, i thought. i expected to be totally bored and out of touch with it, but didn't end up feeling that way at all. i did miss a few posters' reactions, though, especially lex's histrionics

Wait did Charli XCX won this one for real? Ew worst ILM #1 of all time. Not even a top 10 song for her.
The rest of the results were overall pretty agreeable though! Good rollout JF!
