I'm listening to The Vile Stuff and chuckling at the parallel with Swimming Pools (Drank) which sounds considerably more errr... mystical and disembodied, and definitely won't place (since we're still doing a psychanalysis of ILM before the top 50... joking, we're continuing until the post-mortem).

Oh wow I wasn't sure if this particular SVIIVB song had a dedicated fan base, so I made it my #1 to give it all the help I could. No regrets.

Still Beyonce's best single.
A dividing line between what came before and what followed.

i guess your opinions on this will in part depend on how obnoxious you think a second keychange is
my feeling is: the obnoxiousness is the point

When I have sex with someone I love, I always use a key change, honey.

Sorry, tried to not embed it
"Love on Top" was the main song I had in mind in terms of "Songs that didn't place in prior polls, but will place in this one".
Not sure what else we have left in regards to that.

Can't believe I was once a detractor of this song; it's so good. Voted for it pretty high.

The retro thing that doesn’t quite work for me with “uptown funk” definitely works in Tightrope.

Tightrope is to Uptown Funk as an MGM musical is to a tequila ad.

“the greatest” is so good but isn’t quite as transporting as “hey,” and such are the qualifiers one needs to make when ranking a decade’s worth of music
