Damnnn I voted for the wrong SOPHIE track. Would have loved BIPP to make it.

Thanks for the rundown! It was fun.
And 'Fuck You' placing would be baffling beyond belief.

Gyptian - Hold Yuh was #264 and we're all the worse for it.

Fun poll, thx ufo & Moka. As with the EOY polls, very little I voted for showed up. (I don’t really get the CRJ luv… oh wells)

my main takeaway from this poll is that there are a huge amount of songs I thought came out eons ago, but really they came out last decade
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Friday, 19 August 2022 17:13 (one year ago) link
Considering Boys is the 6th best song of the decade, it really fell from grace, huh?

I mean, it's not very good, I'm not sure why Whiney picked that one out.
Could I have pushed 2NE1 up into the main poll had I voted? We shall never be certain, alas...
― emil.y, Friday, 19 August 2022 17:18 (one year ago) link
Perfect top five. I still love all those songs so much. Inspector Norse was my number one and Run Away With Me was my number two. They both soundtracked so many happy moments in the last ten years.
Thanks so much to the poll runners for this. I feel emotional.

thanks guys for running the poll. loved the graphics – the font and colour were A++!

103. Toyboy & Robin - Jaded
Wow, I really overestimated the impact of this song had on this community. Was my #2. I've probably watched the video 100 time.
Norse was my #1. Just a joyous piece of music that I still play regularly. Happy it won.
The only other thing I have to say about this poll is that I'm glad KING did so well.
― beard papa, Friday, 19 August 2022 17:21 (one year ago) link
Yeah the amount of love for KING was surprising. I thought only 1 song of them would make it. Happy to be proven wrong. I would've thought The 1975 would be the ones with 3 songs instead based on previous eoy polls.

Thank you ufo and Moka, really enjoyed the rollout (and images) during a very busy week at work.
Surprised how much of the top 100 I actually like i.e. most of it. Great #1 too.

I'm off to continue doing images for the albums poll.
Anyone cares to give it a go to compile a top 10 per year on this poll to compare it with previous eoy top 10s?

Thanks for the rollout. I need to spend more time with the playlist: I'm more of an albums person/rockist so I feel like I've probably heard most of these songs, but don't know them by name apart from a handful of inescapables. I voted for six songs that placed, including #1. Images look like a high fashion mag; everyone is beautiful.

can we make Moka's image for Inspector Norse the new borad description? I know it wasn't planned but what a punchline!
― rob, Friday, 19 August 2022 17:47 (one year ago) link
Sophisti-pop and tasteful disco seem to have taken over this poll even more than the usual ILM poll. The top 20 would make a killer playlist for a high-end retail shop, at least until Schoolboy Q shows up and starts rapping about cunnilingus.
Maybe it has to do with the decline of generalist music-review publications and the rise of curated streaming platforms, but the focus seems to have narrowed. Of course I'm as guilty as anyone of sticking to my knitting. If I had voted, my ballot would have reflected my own circumscribed universe of rock/metal/jazz/weirdness. Still I enjoyed seeing what people liked from the previous decade. Thanks to all who participated.

Inspector Norse is a worthy winner

thank you to the pollrunners! and the images are great.pleased with norse as #1, it makes me smile every time. biggest discovery for me is 2 On which i had never heard 2 On before. I was loving it until flint flossy turned up.
― calumerio, Friday, 19 August 2022 18:26 (one year ago) link
for a while "boy problems" was also in the top 10 if you want to know just how silly it could have been
will post the stats thread soon
as you can see 200-102 was where nearly everything people were missing was hiding out
― ufo, Friday, 19 August 2022 18:37 (one year ago) link
honestly... a pretty great top 3

I haven't really spent any time with "212" in several years, but I've been listening to it on repeat for a bit now and that is a fucking GREAT song. Inspired, magical, all of the things.
Shame she's been a trainwreck since then.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Friday, 19 August 2022 18:53 (one year ago) link
gonna listen to this full top 100 over the weekend. Enjoying it very much so far. A lot of this consensus pop stuff is actually pretty far from what I listen to usually so it's actually a nice change of pace for me.
In case anyone who would be interested missed it upthread here's the Tidal playlist: https://tidal.com/browse/playlist/4abe3016-8c8e-485d-ad65-627a6c1216d5
― silverfish, Friday, 19 August 2022 18:58 (one year ago) link
“Inspector Norse” and “Realiti (demo)” rank highly on my personal top 20 of the decade so seeing them at the top of the poll makes me very happy.
The way in which the two songs keep building and subtly changing sections while remaining in the same gear is gorgeous. So many little details going on that I never get bored of them.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 19 August 2022 18:58 (one year ago) link
Honestly a pretty good top 10 imho. I’d probably remove one of the CRJ (I guess “call me maybe” would be the one I’d ax) and make space for the Susanne Sundfor at #11, which I don’t think I had heard before and it’s pretty good.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 19 August 2022 19:01 (one year ago) link
I’d also remove the schoolboy q from the tinashe track. 212 already has the cunnilingus covered.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 19 August 2022 19:04 (one year ago) link
I'm not gonna bother checking the stats but it seems like way more stuff from the first half of the decade placed than stuff from the second half. Is this just because as we get further away in time a stronger consensus naturally forms or because the musical landscape of ilx just became more fragmented as the decade progressed?

Seems weird to have a "why didn't Taylor Swift do better?" take when she had 3 in the top 77 but I still kind of feel that way, to me "Shake It Off" and to a lesser extent "We Are Never Ever" were decade-defining pop hits and that "Shake It Off" didn't even crack top 200 startled me. But maybe you weirdos just don't like it?
