Graphics were beautiful. Really appreciate how much care goes into this.

"2 On" would have been #2 last year. #4 (!) in 2012.

"2 on" is like on the rarefied plane of genuinely sexy music, up there with like, "pony"

Wow. I love Aquarius but find it hard to pick a highlight, think I might have voted for Bet tbh. Voted for a different twigs too. But this is a super hot one-two regardless.

Also Tinashe is such an effortlessly cool vocalist, nothing about this tries too hard except maybe that Schoolboy Q verse and I'm fond of that due to what DJ Q does to it.

sry i did not vote for stiches (or at all) after u bugged me on chat
― lag∞n, Thursday, 22 January 2015 21:11 (nine years ago) link
awesome #1. i expected twigs to take it.
yeah the schoolboy verse is def a bit out of place, although it does include "money money money weed fashion."

Awwwww fuck. I REALLY should not have forgotten to vote for "Los Awesome".

xxp were there fewer ballots this year though? or are the points just more widely distributed

the most underrated thing about "2 on" is that each part is sung in a different melody so it's like the entire song is just a string of choruses
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 22 January 2015 21:12 (nine years ago) link
i swapped something that i would've been the lone voter for for stitches bc grady asked me
can someone email me my ballot?

"Bang Bang" was the highest-scoring track involving Ariana Grande???

the bass drop on "2 on" is the endorphin rush of the year

My guess is 2014 was so good for singles that the consensus was more spread than usual.

Great job running this guys.

for me it's just a classic case of being less than the sum of its parts. the beat is actually really hot, his flow is pretty good, the lyrics are...eh, but there's a corniness that just hangs over it that i can't shake. it feels like a weird al song or something. plus the guest verses aren't all that great
― k3vin k., Thursday, 22 January 2015 21:14 (nine years ago) link
"2 on" is the song that has made me most mad at myself for not having subs in my car in a long while
― goole, Thursday, 22 January 2015 21:16 (nine years ago) link
thanks to our lovely pollrunners!

I can get down with #78-#100 a lot more, and surprise surprise I voted for #78!

Also who was the one person who voted Tinashe at number one? They should win a prize.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 22 January 2015 21:20 (nine years ago) link
Taylor Swift – "Blank Space" – A bit drippy, not a patch on "Out of the Woods", but not half bad. Really does sound like "Starbucks lovers" tho.
Clean Bandit ft. Jess Glynne – "Rather Be" – Horrid. Never heard this before, not at all happy to have broken that winning streak.
Taylor Swift – "Style" – Much, much better! Fucking monster tune. Not sure it tops "Out of the Woods", but a damn close second if not. Brad OTM: <3 guitar.
Rich Gang ft. Young Thug & c. – "Lifestyle" – First YT track I heard, still on board, though I’m starting to realize that a little goes a long (long) way.
Future Islands – "Seasons" – I know I promised vitriol earlier, but I don't really hate this song. The chorus is massive and the vocals sufficiently soulful to carry it. Indie only by (weird) association. Just sounds like retro-80s pop to me.
Rae Sraemmurd – "No Flex Zone" – "No Type" wuz robbed.
FKA Twigs – "Two Weeks" – Oh hell yeah.
Tinashe – "2 On" – Would rather have seen Twigs take it, but no complaints.

Thanks for the rollout, gr8080!

We seem to have snubbed: “Queen”, “Chandelier”, “Never Catch Me”, and “i”Congrats to ILX for snubbing: "Happy", “Fancy”, “Problem”, and “All About that Bass”.
Stellar rollout, gr8080!
― excreting zeitgeist (Sanpaku), Thursday, 22 January 2015 21:21 (nine years ago) link
v psyched neither "queen" nor "chandelier" placed tbh

two weeks is still like the most insane song, so intense

Also, I'm impressed ILM managed to hold Swift out of the top 5.

101 + 102 honorary
maaaaaan, i really, really wish some of those 78-100 tracks would've placed, would've made this list way more interesting.
i would've voted for '2 on' but i didn't because i wanted to punish it for having that awful schoolboy q verse on it
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 22 January 2015 21:23 (nine years ago) link
Was sure this morning that Queen would've been in the top 20, but by the time we got to 10 I stopped looking for it.
