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.

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

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
― imago, Wednesday, 17 August 2022 17:35 (one year ago) link
i've grown to like a lot of hyperpop but i still do not buy what 100 gecs sells
― comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 17 August 2022 17:38 (one year ago) link
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.

From today’s run I voted for FKA Twigs, Charlotte Adigery, Pachanga Boys and Destroyer.
I don’t get 100gecs but I don’t mind that sort of memecore or whatever they call that sort of sound getting a mention on a 2010s countdown
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 17 August 2022 17:54 (one year ago) link
From today, Frank Ocean and SVIIB we're in the ranked portion of my ballot. Happy I could help push them higher up. Voted for Charlotte Adigéry in the unranked portion.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 17 August 2022 17:58 (one year ago) link
Maybe FKA Twigs too. Seems like I'd have voted for her as well.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 17 August 2022 17:59 (one year ago) link
Like everything she does, "High Lights" is ridiculously cool.
"Work" was top 10 on my ballot and still sounds so fresh to my ears.
― Indexed, Wednesday, 17 August 2022 18:01 (one year ago) link
Didn’t know that SVIIB song was that well liked on ILM. Would have considered voting for it. Was obsessed with it back then and that whole brand of synth-y shoegaze / dreampop revival at the beginning of the decade
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 17 August 2022 18:04 (one year ago) link
From the 2010 rollout:
"I L U" is probably the most emotional a song made me get all last year. The "I loved you" line is so much better than "I love you" would be.
