j0rdan was totally wrong about "I'm On One" but i greatly overestimated how much critics would be willing to vote for a Chris Brown song so we're even i guess
I have the edge on both of you, then, because I thought neither of those songs (which I still have never heard on the radio) had a chance.

Wild Flag's placement is actually my one genuine shock.

The only reason I've heard of the Vaccines is because they were high on the Last.fm year-end chart.

I'm a bit surprised that Destroyer finished higher than Bon Iver. They were probably neck and neck in the P4K poll, but I'd have thought that Bon Iver (who can sell out pretty large rooms these days) would have done better among a wider pool of critics.
― Girl I want to take you to a JBR (jaymc), Wednesday, 18 January 2012 01:55 (twelve years ago) link
In the end Bon Iver couldn't shake them awake.

britney should have been closer to the top too. sad to see her stuck next to the foo fighters. hey, apparently the foo fighters had an album out!

really loving Tha Carter IV all the way down at #316, that's a sales-to-votes ratio maybe slightly better than Michael Buble

skot, you should check out danny brown, he's from detroit and mostly raps about eating pussy in a squeaky high voice over grimy beats. and also about scrap metal.

A minor note for the curious: with the upcoming June 1 shut-down of needlebase.com, my previous stats tool (and former job), I've rebuilt my P&J statistics index in a new standalone form here:
http://furia.com/pjs
There are a lot fewer moving parts than in the Needle version, and less meta-miscellany, but hopefully a) most of the stuff I didn't recreate wasn't actually all that interesting, and b) what's left is easier to navigate and understand.

like the look of the new stats page. did the billboard stuff i did for the last 2 polls survive the transition?
― some dude, Monday, 30 April 2012 00:28 (twelve years ago) link
The Billboard stuff is in a different database. I've extracted all that data for safekeeping already, but I don't have time to do anything else with it at the moment...

ah ok cool, good to know it's at least saved. when the next poll is approaching i will prob bug you about doing some more w/ it.
