Please report any mistakes or oversights to me, so I can do the whole damn thing over again. Thank U, next!
Since your list seems to be based on country of origin and not residence, according to Resident Advisor Peach is a Canadian who lives in the UK.

I voted for Americans, but would definitely had put Screwed on there as well if I'd thought it had traction.
I don't quite understand this kind of tactical voting... I voted for "Screwed" cos it's the best song on the album; apparently if everyone who thought the same would've voted for it instead of "The Way You Make Me Feel" or something else, it might've made it to the top 77.

I thought 'Americans' was the best song on the album, and have a strict 1-song-per-artist rule, unless there's a good reason to have two songs on, such as Screwed having a shot at making it.

Ok, I get it, but based on the discussion here it seems the reason "Screwed" didn't have a shot at making it was because people who liked it thought it didn't have a shot at making it. So, a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Thanks, Tuomas. Yes, I went with country of origin and/or self-identification, more or less. DJs seem to be more elusive than most in this regard, or require a bit more googling at least. Hope I didn’t make too much of a shambles of it...

I posted an update on the Poll Afterparty thread.

and I have to buy an industrial fan instead

walked through a downtown commuter tunnel that's about to be filled with concrete yesterday, with industrial fans thundering breathable air from the streets above, and thought of this

i give "boo'd up" extra points for sounding distinctly like a huge R&B hit circa 2005. i thought it was telling that mariah basically repaid the homage by getting dj mustard to produce the same sort of glassy R&B song for her own album. the emancipation of mimi influence snake eating its own tail.


the starbucks on 43rd and madison by my old office was always playing R&B from like 98-06 and "boo'd up" could definitely have gotten some burn in there


I understand these comparisons, but “Boo’d Up” reminds me of nothing so much as “Weekend Girl” by The S.O.S. Band (which is kinda funny, given that Jam & Lewis were referenced here in connection with “OTW”.)

I dipped into this thread briefly a couple of days ago, but just getting around to fully catching up with it now - I can't believe 'Give Yourself a Try' placed and 'It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)' didn't. Can't fault the other 1975 tracks that placed.
