"Love Galore" is my best guess
― Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:21 (six years ago) link
ONE
there's no way Boys is #1 so it's Love Galore i guess? or all 6 SZA tracks are in the 80s???
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:21 (six years ago) link
"love galore" is a wonderful song and i'd be happy to see it as no. 1
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:22 (six years ago) link
Wow I can't believe every track of CTRL is no 1 simultaneously!
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:22 (six years ago) link
but also like, sza suffering from unbelievable vote splitting is just as believable
One of the more suspenseful count-downs in a while.

hope it's SZA, the Charli song just makes me want to listen to the MIA song with the similar name

Love Galore (or Drew Barrymore) would be a fine #1. i had Boys at 25 because i couldn't get it out of my head but i hope it isn't #1
― ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:24 (six years ago) link
music video with no boys in it vs. music video with mostly boys in it

We've all been thrown for a loop and it's going to go to Julien Baker.

sza suffering from unbelievable vote splitting is just as believable
didn't Ariel Pink get almost as many things nominated? def a bit odd for neither to get nothing in the 77 on that basis while other acts who will also do well in the albums list get two tracks no problem
― nashwan, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:25 (six years ago) link
Great song, voted this high on the back of the amazing 80s italo style initial talk remix but the original is undeniable too. Album great as well

I like CXCX just fine, but this is the weirdest #1 in this poll since "Wut."

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

can't remember we ever had a tracks poll where after #2 ppl still had no idea what #1 would be

The bass drop (?) in New Rules is the one of the most perfect things ever devised.

well that kinda blows but otherwise great list everyone
I'm stunned @ no SZA, holy crap
― Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:27 (six years ago) link
We should be glad she chose to sing about Boys rather than Republicans.
― MarkoP, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:27 (six years ago) link
SZA better win albums to make up for this

lots of diversity lots of quality, shame it inevitably petered out a bit at the end

i don't even think "boys" is a bad song but the video soured me on it so bad
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:28 (six years ago) link
I'm giving "Boys" another chance but before today it wasn't even in my top 10 Charli XCX tracks
― daavid, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:28 (six years ago) link
New Rules was robbed, dammit
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:28 (six years ago) link
lol same amount of votes
list is super thin on rnb in general, though my tracks ballot is as much to blame as anyone's. I assume all the rnb albums I voted for will place
― rob, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:29 (six years ago) link
Huh, I really had no idea Boys was this popular. Thought to myself SZA would win for sure.
― abcfsk, Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:29 (six years ago) link
Is this the whole "ilxors voting on autopilot" thing Johnny was talking about? Because no ones excited about this
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:29 (six years ago) link
CTRL is one of those album's that if you ask 10 different people you'll prob get 9 different favorite songs, but still, it's shocking that not even Love Galore placed in the 77
― hoooyaaargh it's me satan (voodoo chili), Thursday, 25 January 2018 19:29 (six years ago) link
so... er... what is good about this song / video?

The "Boys" video isn't bad, but it's no "Ice Cream Truck."

i remember being enthralled by 'superlove' in this same poll rollout however many years ago but she's never made another song i like enough to vote for

Huh.
Will once again plug the Howie Lee remix of Boys, though it just missed my ballot.
Interesting rollout. Can't believe SZA didn't make it. First year I don't catch up on the Singles Jukebox and "Akanamali" takes me by surprise, though I guess I don't follow South African stuff compared to Nigeria/Ghana/Angola/etc. Gorgeous track!
