ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2017

welp there goes my prediction

I should've voted.

This song seemed like minor CRJ to me at first, but my love for it has grown all year long.

didn't realize ppl liked this one so much, don't think it'd make my crj POX

it's impressive on its own that a c-side nearly won out

anyway, great song that weirdly didn't his immediately for me

*hit

It's no "Cry."

i figured this was going to win by default at this point, great but probably middle of the pack as far as Emotion-era songs go?

nor mine. it's a good middle between kiss and emotion but also sounds very much like something that didn't make one of her own records lol

wow saer is in the top 2!!!

lmao i still have no idea exactly what the top two is

this feels completely and utterly boilerplate

I'm fairly confident? but maybe I'm wrong to be? xp

yeah i'm still uncertain which song got 78'd

i couldn't name either remaining song if you put a gun to my head

guess The Arcana really did take this

well, my prediction for number one was wrong.

suspenseful end-of-rollout!

From all the negative comparisons it got wrt Lost In Your Light, I'm afraid it's going to be New Rules :/

Great to see Akanamali place so high. Didn't vote for it as I only came across it in the noms thread and didn't really allow time for it to sink in, but it's great that such an outlier can place so high

makes the most sense to me but also.... where has sza been

Part of me kind of hopes that Boys is not in the top two, because 2017 is a year that proved that boys are fucking horrible and don't deserve to be sung about.

lmao

Objectified tho?

nice to revisit these kendrick tracks, i enjoyed but didn't spend a lot of time w/ damn

i'm was busy thinking 'bout boys / like for instance the fat jewish and charlie puth

when this poll is over we're all going to sit down and have a serious chat about music videos

you have another poll to boost, simon

boys video is almost inextricable from the song imo

This selfie was the best thing CRJ released in 2017

I think I've given up on my #2 vote making it btw

New Rules video is imo video of the year!

I was strongly opposed to Simon's views on music videos until I watched some of that Tove Lo one

next year we all promise to vote without watching any videos right

and listening to songs

New Rules video is imo video of the year!

lol weren't his "views" merely "wait people still watch music videos?" *clicks on despacito as the 4,739,219,210th viewer*

whatever it is i'm pretending "new rules" is no. 1, good work ilm

"Love Galore" is my best guess

ONE

there's no way Boys is #1 so it's Love Galore i guess? or all 6 SZA tracks are in the 80s???

"love galore" is a wonderful song and i'd be happy to see it as no. 1

Wow I can't believe every track of CTRL is no 1 simultaneously!

but also like, sza suffering from unbelievable vote splitting is just as believable

One of the more suspenseful count-downs in a while.
