btw - and i'll mention this again when we get there - i have the top 177 tracks queued up to add to the playlist as soon as we hit #1, so there is much listening yet to be done.

I love both CRJ and Charli but I hope it's either of them that doesn't make it this year.
― daavid, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:13 (six years ago) link
same. feel like "new rules" is most likely to have been 78'd though

i kinda expected Boys and Bad Liar to both show up around where Green Light did

Really not sure what's going to miss out here. I know Carly Rae Jepsen is popular on here, but there's barely any discussion about that song on her thread. Could SZA have suffered from major split voting? I hope Selena has made it. I can't see New Rules missing out.

we could stop the poll here, and declare Akanamali the ILM song of the year
― Dan S, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:16 (six years ago) link
This is sorta cool, because I don't have to post #2 and #1 together. No one knows what's missing.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:18 (six years ago) link
yeah i can't remember this ever happening before
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:18 (six years ago) link
I'm guessing SZA got vote split to death. The Weekend, Drew Barrymore, Doves in the Wind, Prom, none of them have placed.

A couple of years ago half the poll seemed to be Kendrick Grimes CRJ Future Sundfør. This year's is just so much more interesting.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:22 (six years ago) link
i'm hoping that New Rules is missing because i like all the others much more

― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:23 (six years ago) link
it's like the best pop song of the year and i'll think less of the list for it missing xp
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:24 (six years ago) link
didn't vote any Kendrick for tracks b/c whenever I put on "DNA" I had to listen to the rest of the album & so the album was so obviously album of the year / decade / whatever, a unity
― droit au butt (Euler), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:24 (six years ago) link
but it's not like i helped it out, it's just kinda kicking it at the end of my ballot xp
"dna" is so awesome
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:26 (six years ago) link
If Lost In Your Love placed then New Rules definitely will but top four is way too high.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:26 (six years ago) link
either way, it looks suspiciously like the top four tracks are all by women
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:26 (six years ago) link
Kendrick videos are always great, but the ones from DAMN are just another level.

saer is a woman right?

New Rules just doesn't do much for me, nothing really hooks me and i wish it had a real chorus idk
DNA's placement is obviously well deserved, beat switch is great
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:28 (six years ago) link
it has an extremely real chorus
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:28 (six years ago) link
The one two three bit is magnificent but the actual 'I got new rules' hook is a real damp squib after that.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:30 (six years ago) link
"DNA" is his best pure single imo
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:31 (six years ago) link
Voted for Akanamali after it appeared on the campaigning thread, so thanks to whoever posted it. Gorgeous track
― i know kore-eda (or something), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:31 (six years ago) link
part of the appeal of "new rules" is how it encases a breathless chorus hook within an expected drop, we'll have to agree to disagree on "damp squib"
love to discuss a song that may not place at all at this point lol
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:31 (six years ago) link
yeah matt otm. i get that it's trying to have the vocals be like the processed (are they processed? i can't tell) vocals in a drop, and they're not quite the focus there, but it doesn't work for me

there's been a kind of sameyness to the poll this year imo (obvs this only bothers me because it's not my kind of sameyness; if 5 dancehall tracks had placed I'd be psyched), but it is p cool that all three "afro"pop songs are from three different countries and in different languages

'Akanamali' didn't strike me at first but by the end I was completely on board. Very good choice, ILM.

The Singles Jukebox loved it too. It keeps threaten to turn into a 2006-era Ne-Yo single.

lotta great delivery in this song. "ooooooooh / you're taking up a fraction of my mind," ".... AND OH BABY LET'S MAKE / reality / actuality," etc.
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 18:44 (six years ago) link
the second half of that song is probably my favorite kendrick moment of all time. the aggressive/aggressively repetitive sample always reminds me a bit of chicago footwerk stylez
