So much to be enthusiastic about, so little time! That's my "alibi" to be honest. Would love to write more about what I love and why, but.. no time.

I feel like "Mood" by Iann Dior and 24kGolden is a good example of something that would have been a ILX bullseye in the 00s that at the end of the 10s is bypassed or even shitted on

this isn't even shots at forks, well not mainly, bc i kind of 'missed' it too even though i knew it existed and was a big hit and was vaguely good, i didn't really advocate for it or rally behind it like i 'should' have

More for the thread in general as well as acknowledging a personal gap: I think it's interesting that the two TikTok threads are on ILE. Maybe we never really talked about platforms on ILM in the past that weren't exclusively music-focused, but it's a big piece of pop music culture that feels pretty unexamined here (and by me to be clear)

bad buny being a joke entry on top tracks of 2020 is very telling

I fell for it because he’s very good in my book (came close to voting for the first of his 2020 albums), but it still surprised me because I didn’t feel he had that much support on ILM, and I’m also not crazy about that particular track - I think it featured on some prominent EOY list(s) tho

i'm pretty sure "si veo" didn't make too many lists, a very clear filler track from an album with lots of more obvious highlights

feel like you can glean something about the changes in ILM's taste from bad bunny (biggest pop star in the world) being the joke entry and 070 shake (no discernible audience beyond the internet) being the real entry following it up

It's a start.

he had two tracks in the Pitchfork 100 (one at #5<>, yes people), but not this one <>just one notch higher than “Murder Most Foul” tho, so what does it all even mean?

opening track of the album, he made a video for it. not a filler track, whether or not you think it's any good (it's not one of my favourites on the album either)
― Dusty Benelux (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 28 January 2021 21:52 (three years ago) link
1. bad bunny might still make it;
2. idk why but i object to the idea he'd have been an old ILX lock; to me hes more like travis scott, but maybe its just my bias abt the music. i think hes a 'great star' but musically just not exciting to me
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Thursday, 28 January 2021 22:11 (three years ago) link
ilm has always had big blind spots in popular music but to have the biggest pop star as a joke entry in tracks of the year? beyond parody
― Dusty Benelux (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 28 January 2021 22:12 (three years ago) link
oh yea ... i mean tbf i dont understand the joke in those posts at all
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Thursday, 28 January 2021 22:13 (three years ago) link
the joke entries used to be more deliberate trolling but this time moka went for a different vibe i guess. like in the past it was usually "here's something you all hate lol" with ed sheeran (who is a gigantic pop star) etc. but this year moka went for something more vaguely plausible with bad bunny who people seem just more indifferent about here than active dislike or anything
― ufo, Thursday, 28 January 2021 22:19 (three years ago) link
yeah I didn't want to go on about it (more) in the thread, but the fakes this year were legit confusing to me. like it did not seem implausible to me that the BB track would place, I was just taken aback by the unexpected (false) enthusiasm

it's a hip-hop tradition to have the intro be kind of a nothing track lol, and didn't he make a video for every song on the album?
― tiwa-nty one savage (voodoo chili), Thursday, 28 January 2021 22:27 (three years ago) link
oh yeah he did make a video for every song but it was one of the first batch to be released iirc

since we're on the topic: I don't speak Spanish, what is happening at the beginning of that video?
― rob, Thursday, 28 January 2021 22:52 (three years ago) link
this is like when the consensus pick off the Rosalia album was Malamente rather than any of the ensuing tracks, all of which were way better by dint of not being a low-key intro

xp. from memory, it's a new years eve party, a guy is about to hang himself and a kid comes up to him. the gist is: the kid asks him (the dude about to hang himself) what he's doing. he replies that his life is a mess, his family doesn't love him, his friends don't listen to him etc. the kid says "my parents don't listen to me either. you know what i do when im feeling bad? listen to bad bunny". the guy says 'bad who?" or something similar, and the kid says "come, let me show you"

xxp iirc Rosalia had 2 songs - Pienso en tu mira and Malamente back to back in the poll 2 years ago.

also imago, ^that actually happened unlike the Bad Bunny placement

Still in the Latin American & Caribbean zone, Brazilian funk carioca and its subgenres surely ? The Modern Brazil thread is also not the most active and artists like Elza Soares or Meta Meta do not have threads to their name.I have also come recently to consider Spanish Pop as its own sub-world, not just as pop that happens to be in Spanish, if that makes sense.Another could be folk maybe ? Rhiannon Giddens for example does not return any results
