76. Migos ft. Lil Uzi Vert - Bad and Boujee (2016)

but where is "t-shirt"?

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!")

75. Nicki Minaj - Super Bass (2010)

hasn't aged super well imo

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

The first half of "Pyramids" is OK; the second half is massive

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.

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!?

Shocked to see this one so low but, yeah, perhaps the glow has worn off.

loved this track

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.

Brilliant song I somehow didn't vote for.

This is great, was on a longlist for a bit. Moment To Reflect (not nominated) even better

This, however, is better

hey!

from 2016's best album

I kept my WAK votes for the album, would have been Love Song if forced to choose, but it is all Absolutely Great

This songs defines "shimmer."

voted for this one. song is like a plush, weighted blanket in audio form

Christ, it absolutely FLIES by as well. You're ready for another four minutes and it ends

Can we keep Space Soul Corner going?

thought that one was going higher

Sorry, imago. We can't.

Space Soul to Blank Space just about sums it up

and i'll write your name

could do without hearing or thinking about this one ever again tbh. too bad i still think of it every time i pass a damn starbucks

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

71. Róisín Murphy - Incapable (2019)
[354 points / 7 votes]
Previous Placement: 11 in 2019

i really like the Games ep and trying to correctly guess all the obscure flags off the front cover

strawberry skies probs the best tune but flowers in bloom a personal fav

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.

Incapable feels very much like a 2020's song to me just because of how many times I've listened to Róisín Machine.

70. Taylor Swift - All Too Well (2012)
[355 points / 6 votes / 1 Nº1 vote]
Previous Placement: 278 in 2012

I wonder what ufo meant by the poll results at various points during voting being liable to annoy virtually everyone. How much Taytay lurks in 102-140

all too well probs the best Red cut tbh

apols to all trouble stans

is this all versions rolled into one?

technically speaking this is only the 2012 version. The taylor version and the 10 min version is 2021.

that said in 2012 the taylor stans apparently didn't think much of it back then as it scored really low in that poll.

oh no, can’t have a 2020s version weigh into the vote, can we now

xp lol

this is the 2010s poll goddamit!

69. CHVRCHES - The Mother We Share (2013)
[355 points / 7 votes]
Previous Placement: 18 in 2013

I love this song and I voted for it, but I did not expect it to place as I was under the impression that ILM tends to prefer the stuff from their second album.

I nominated "All Too Well" but didn't have room for it on my ballot, glad others took up the slack

I adore "Hey" but that better not be the only WAK song to place here.

The Mother We Share is a great single, but it frustrated me how patchy their albums were. Screen Violence is the first time they got it right.

The only CHVRCHES song I love from the 10s. (Already a few more I love from the 20s tho)
