lol, granted my username isn't I Love Pedantry, but i don't think one can celebrate their own pedantry while simultaneously getting pissed off when others one-up the same pedantry

just noticed i'm the sole voter for like 75% of my ballot smh lol

i was p surprised that you didn't vote for "shot caller" :-[

there really isn't an equivalency between our posting here. you guys do this to me basically every time i post something xp

"deej said something was 'popular' -- time for an 80 post tangent on what exactly he meant by that"

xp honestly I did my ballot in like 10 mins and forgot a bunch of stuff (including "shot caller")

I didn't even vote for Dreamchasers!

i was kind of shocked i was one of only 2 people to vote for the Lloyd album

yeah i definitely debated this & Surkin's USA. you were my closest match on the stats thing (although not by a huge percentage) but that would have made things a lot closer

lloyd was def in my last 3 albums out

i'm lukewarm on the lloyd album, i mean it's good but compared to his others i wasn't feeling it as much

i did vote for "private dancer" tho

where can I check out the stats btw? curious as to who my closest match is

lloyd was one of my last cuts too

find your match on OK Needlebase: The Return of the WOO!

haha lex is my closest match, naturally

still blows my mind how much The Roots can sew this thing up year after year, even if they drop an album 17 days before the voting deadline

Most of the votes for Miguel (featuring J Cole) "Sure Thing" on the singles ballot came from ilxors

ha who of those are ilxors, besides lex, ship, and soto?

all three votes for "drumz" were unsurprisingly from ilxors

that song is wack anyway imo

"my city" and "weed shoes" >>>

Me, and then Maura is sometimes here

NY Times critics back when used to participate in this, but not anymore. So
my vote for Orchestre Poly-Rythmo -Cotonou Club (Strut) is the only one, although Jon Pareles of the Times had it in his top 10 also.

Tim F*nney did not vote this year, I don't think.

haha i hate the tune-yards album but it's such an unexpected winner i can't hate.

surprised the beyoncé album was so low (beneath pistol annies!)

lulz, tom waits is my 2nd fav album in the top 10

it must be so embarrassing to be in the top 10 centricity list

i would have thought twice about voting for 'sure thing" had i known it would be credited with a j cole feature urgh

Tim F*nney did not vote this year, I don't think.

i worked this out when i saw that NO ONE else voted for the dawn richard mixtape ;_;

i don't know how close "countdown" was to "rolling in the deep" but i'm really hoping it wasn't close enough that an extra vote would have enabled it to be no 1 - "countdown" was pretty much my song of the year but i never put artists on my trax ballot that i've put on my albums ballot

so weird to find another critic with whom you share two votes, and one of those is pistol annies and the other is danny daze o_0

1 Adele, "Rolling in the Deep" * **
Columbia/XL Mentions: 116
2 Beyoncé, "Countdown" **
Columbia Mentions: 98

also that miguel thing is an oversight on my part and is being fixed, fret not

Jeremy D. Larson is my new best friend

ok i doubt even a 1st place vote would've been enough to overcome 18 extra voters so my mind is at ease

i think the most annoying thing is how many critics i know didn't bother voting.

"till the world ends" is such a weird pop rallying point. i mean, i like the remix, but...top 10? huh.

yeah singles are counted by mention, not weighted.

and lex help me get those people to vote next year!!

I wish Daddy B Nice, Southern soul guru had voted. I don't think he did

lex - another reason for you to be ok with the tUnE-yArDs win

“tuneyards?!?!?!?! are you fucking kidding me?!?!?! I’m starting to wonder if they only polled female music critics?

lulz

it's a terrible album though

surprised the beyoncé album was so low (beneath pistol annies!)

I was under the impression for months that 4 was generally considered to be a hit-free disappointment. It was only toward the end of the year that I saw people arguing otherwise.

it's been beyonce's least popular album with the masses and most popular album with critics since the moment it was released

^^ otm

But I was in such an ilm bubble that I didn't realize how much the masses didn't like it until I heard the Sound Opinions show where several callers called in to bitch about how awful it was. I was just smh.

that's interesting, i haven't gotten the impression that the pop/R&B fans that DID buy the album disliked it

i know that the "point" of commercial music is to generate hits but it never fails to surprise me that so many people equate an album's quality with how successful its singles are
