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

a classic

Thanks, abcfsk, totally forgot about that demo!

glad this is here, all coming back how classic the video alone is

Not my Janelle pick, but Artist of the Decade for me, for sure.

oh man, forgot how much i loved this song when it came out. i'm usually put off a bit by janelle's theater kid energy, but this one is undeniable.

100% this

meanwhile, long may they reign. (actually, how IS that second album coming along)

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

First time seeing that KING video and it’s amazing

my favourite king song
And the video rules

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

THIS ALBUM

is that a cricket bat or a baseball bat at 2:07

My first vote to place! (though there have now been SIX from my pre-pruned longlist)

lol trap queen omg

Wow, that KING video; I voted for that song and had no idea.

yeah I didn't know it had a video either. absolutely not what I expected it to be

literally found out about KING by clicking the link to said video in the 2015 poll lol

^this haha

Our first and only tie of the countdown coming up.

43.(TIE) 100 gecs - money machine (2019)

“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

I did not vote for it, but I fully endorse this placement

Did Die Antwoord place in the 2000s poll?

High art pop and low art pop

think I have to accept that I will never get 100 gecs at this stage.

Also fairly sure I'm the only one around here who thinks AG Cook >> SOPHIE >>>>>>>>>>>> gecs

I’m with you on that ranking

I mean, going by my voting, I'm with you on that, except add Harle several >>>s to. The left of all of them

i've grown to like a lot of hyperpop but i still do not buy what 100 gecs sells

there's not much redeeming about "money machine" imo. annoying music designed to appeal to annoying people.

Last one for the day.

I hope you have mildly enjoyed today’s countdown. Tune in tomorrow for some more.

Much better songs on that Rihanna album.

oh HELL YES, voted for this high, incredible song

case in point lol

sorry, couldn't resist

Much better songs on that Rihanna album.

There’s better songs on that Rihanna album but ILM loves Drake.

Really not feeling much in today's tranche.
