First time hearing the remix and it’s sounding real good.

God, I loved this song a decade ago. She's never topped it.

would rather see 'Door' here but figure 'So Hot...' might place

Glad to see Wolf Alice make it, even at 78! I had this pretty low in my ballot. It's a fun song, but far from the top of my list of Wolf Alice songs, if that makes sense. My #1 and #2 are also Wolf Alice songs that I'm not necessarily expecting to place.
I think I listened to Orange once or twice a long time ago. It's pretty good stuff, even if it doesn't exactly latch with me.
I only heard Strawberry Skies during the run-up to this poll. I really like it, but left it off because my ballot mostly focused on music that I was actually listening to during the decade.
I've never listened to Chairlift or Caroline Polachek. Only know her from the Charli XCX song Tears, which I forgot to nominate but was a favorite of the decade. This song makes me think they would be in my wheelhouse.

I don't remember Wolf Alice being so low in our 2017 poll. It'll probably be higher than our entire top five from that year (already above Bad Liar and New Rules). Because I didn't love their debut, I didn't even check out anything from the second album until our poll. Kisses is the song that made me a fan and ended up in my top ten.
Delighted to see Chairlift here. Such an amazing song. Wonder if any of Caroline Polachek's solo material will be higher. Would like to see Door make it.
I never got into Frank Ocean. His flat voice is a deal breaker. As a couple of others have said, Miguel over Frank any day.
Strawberry Skies is gorgeous. My brother turned me on to that one back in the day. Another one that feels like an absolute lifetime ago. Good to see it here.
Good start to the list today.

"don't delete the kisses" was one of my last cuts, glorious

"strawberry skies" is a good pop extension of the lopatin universe. it's not too different from much of his stuff with ford, but i also hear echoes of his ecco jams (get it?)

but where is "t-shirt"?
― comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 16 August 2022 15:08 (one year ago) link
my migos vote went to "versace," which was probably my first exposure to them and still their best work imo.
"bad and boujee" is great, though. uzi's verse was my least favorite part at the time, but moments from in his 16 still pop into my head from time to time ("met! her! today!")

My biggest problem with the song is its actual lack of bass.

The first half of "Pyramids" is OK; the second half is massive
― Bait Kush (Eric H.), Tuesday, 16 August 2022 15:26 (one year ago) link
Never knew why Super Bass was the breakout hit, or why it was so high in the 2011 poll, or why people are voting for it now, she has so many better songs and it shows off almost none of her talents. Guess it's not unpleasant, just that's kind of it.
― link.exposing.politically (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 16 August 2022 15:27 (one year ago) link
They played this one at the gym I went to almost every day and I have to admit it was a fun song to run to - the first times at least.
Agree that it hasn't really aged well and yeah there's way too much high end on it, where's the super bass!?

I completely forgot about Amel Larrieux and this album is actually really good. Thanks ILM for reminding me about her and this song. Should've voted for this one.

This is the best of the 1989 singles and was on my long list i think, but i hope the Red singles do better.

Great to see Amel Larrieux here. Another one I didn't know about until it showed up in our poll. The whole album is so good.
I didn't vote for any KING tracks in the end, just the album. Hey or Native Land would have been my picks if I'd had room. Excited to see how the album does next week.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 16 August 2022 16:07 (one year ago) link
Incapable feels very much like a 2020's song to me just because of how many times I've listened to Róisín Machine.
