I assumed all the Oliva Rodrigo hype I've seen on social media was some nexus of payola, Disney pervs, and adults not following new music too closely.

Magdalena Bay pulling an upset and getting #1 would be a very ILM move in my mind

(Sour was my #3... my kids introduced me to it, but that shit is just undeniable)

there was serious excitement surrounding "drivers license." payola works fine but payola alone doesn't create the biggest debut week in spotify history
the middle age folks tapped into olivia around album time, after she'd scored a couple #1s already

Based on the low number of votes needed to crack the lower reaches of the 77 I'd be very surprised if she misses out completely

Cleo Sol was definitely better received here than those two, as it should have been (it was in my top 10).
― Chris L, Friday, 11 February 2022 16:45 (two years ago) link
Wolf Alice album was a major let down imo. Very generic without anywhere near the highs of the last two albums. Making the poll wouldn't have surprised me but Top 10?

I totally thought Arlo Parks would be lower down in the list. Wouldn't mind seeing her this high at all.

Revisited the GYBE album. I sometimes just forget to listen more to things that I know I will enjoy in familiar ways vs things that may be new or complex or challenging but it's completely solid and all holds together really well and satisfyingly.

Was looking at the 2019 poll just now -- forgot that Weyes Blood somehow beat out LDR, Purple Mountains, and Big Thief! Maybe another upset year but Low does feel like the frontrunner.
― Indexed, Friday, 11 February 2022 17:35 (two years ago) link
Aw, I was really hoping L'Rain would break the top 10. If we're taking apologies for underrating albums right now I think he could give one, too :P

Nice. I voted for the last 3, all good. I agree that Second Line is not my favorite of hers, but it works on its own terms. The L'Rain album I may be slightly overrating because it's the album that introduced me to L'Rain overall, so my vote is probably really for both albums. But she's pretty awesome. And 333 always seems over too soon, even though it's like 47 minutes.

Japanese Breakfast was number one. As I mentioned in the tracks list, this band meant everything to me last year. Really happy and surprised to see them so high.
Tinashe is great. This and her last album are the best things she's done.

this was my favorite album of the year for about two months, delivered completely on the promise of their first two records by submerging itself in a form of alt rock that's closer to a melancholic dreamspace than pure rock fury (tho it has some of that too)
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Friday, 11 February 2022 18:15 (two years ago) link
My favorite Tinashe album, too!
Agree with kp that it's great to see Jubilee this high. Feel like she was always underrated here. Did her first two albums place at all?
― Indexed, Friday, 11 February 2022 18:18 (two years ago) link
always find myself connecting really hard to about 3-4 songs on every wolf alice album and this one was no exception. "how can i make it ok" was a very much deserving placer in the traxx poll
― roflrofl fight (voodoo chili), Friday, 11 February 2022 18:19 (two years ago) link
The previous Wolf Alice album grew on me a lot, but it was always overshadowed by Don't Delete The Kisses. This one was brilliant all the way through and made me kind of understand why the NME kept calling them the best British band going.
Soft Sounds From Another Planet did place in our 2017 list Indexed, but much lower down. In the 40s I think?
