ILM's 2018 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / VOTING THREAD

Voted!

Is the rollout starting next week?

Yes on Monday!

I am on deck to make the singles happen, starting Monday. I've seen the early returns and they are SHOCKING; vote now or you don't get to complain when we start posting things you SIMPLY CANNOT BELIEVE (pollsters hate this ONE SIMPLE SONG)

bitch i'm a cow no. 1

laugh now, moo later

we are entering the voterarium. a place of strife and sensation. the night is yet young

voted!

I'm honestly drawing a blank on what song from 2018 could simultaneously be really hated and yet also do really well. God's Plan? Lift Yourself? Baby Shark? This is America?

baby shark and moo are two i'm definitely rooting against in vain

the presence of non-song "this is america" would be a bummer

voted! just in time.

There were quite a few things I was surprised weren't nominated (I was travelling during the noms period so didn't get around to it) but by the same token narrowing each list down to 25 selections still broke my heart.

Voted!

Really short ballot, but I voted.

From these: one I've voted for, one I wouldn't mind seeing crop up, one I can't fucking stand, one I've never knowingly heard.

My suggestion for a joke top 10 entry is Peach Scone.

I can confirm the results are bonkers, also there’s a huge song that I thought was a top 20 contender and it is not even in the top 77.

Voted!

Did a write in for Jean Grae and Quelle Chris "Gold Orange Purple" and I suggest you do the same!

and voted! that is a great track but i voted for the album anyway so

Voted. No write-ins despite missing the noms because yeah it was a good year. Albums vv strong

Voted!

what level of weird are we talking like weirder than last year when somehow SZA completely missed the tracks poll and "Boys" won? that would be impressive

forks, when you start the rollout thread Monday morning, I beg of you to use the format we've used every year in the post-musically era...and to call them tracks instead of singles. 👍

*title format

voted! god that copy & paste job was hard!

i will totally call all those singles tracks. or vice versa. Wait, what am i doing?

Incoming ballots might change some things, but there are definitely some songs which I didn't expect to make it and which are a nice surprise imho... also yes, without revealing too much, if the ballots received today don't change the scores significantly on the bottom we might indeed have another SZA scenario this year.

I was legit angry last year that the final batch of ballots ruined Taylor Swift getting 78'ed.

Best way to avoid WTF WHO VOTED FOR THIS syndrome is to get your ballot in!

how many more hours to get ballots in?

Oops, I forgot to save my ballot.

‘Go to town’ is the doja cat banger imo

they’re both great

this year feels a lot more open in terms of possibilities than last year and if the results are even weirder than last year i'm looking forward to being surprised then

i'm really confident in my albums list but my songs list felt like a mess even as i was submitting it, and i've technically been working on it for a few months now lol

voted !

sent my ballot, phew!

voted, finally

If it was another situation similar SZA last year, I could see Robyn missing out due to split voting.

I just mean the titling format we've been using since j0rdan and I ran it in 2010: "ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 201x"

xp yeah Robyn or Mitski would be my guesses for being vote split to death

damn, i forgot to nominate wolf muller & niklas wandt's instrumentalmusik von der mitte der world

ooh just got my vote in.

voted

Okay third time's a charm. Submitted again and this one is my final tracks/albums ballot. whew!

How long have we got left? I had intentions to do my ballot last night but a friend turned up at my door with news, and now I have work this morning so trying to copy and paste on my phone is gonna be tricky...
