That’s unexpected and sweet, rob. It still isn’t going to place, too bad, even though it was my #1 - which means, and let’s get this out of the way here and now as well, “Balloon” was not!

also if Soundman had come out earlier, I think something from that would have made my tracks ballot, it got a little lost for me in end-of-year catching up madness

Same here, I figured there were plenty of Wizzy noms already. But in the end I only voted for one more besides “Joro”. Harsh on the guy, but whaddayado?

“Electric” and “Cover Me” are EOY-worthy tracks for me.

I like "Blow" a lot too, but given how I spent the year lamenting the non-appearance of Made In Lagos, the whole thing (well, minus "Mine") is an unexpected treat

But for real, Rema is the one I had on repeat throughout 2019 - I was kinda shocked to see that no one had nommed Lady, which just bowls me over everytime it comes on. It's not Dumebi, but it's not too far behind. And even Obama had Ironman (not Dumebi) on his EOY list.

After hearing Mr Eazi's brand new song "Kpalanga", I regret not nominating his & Simi's "Doyin", a similar pseudo-psychedelic Killertunes production:

For me the greatest song that didn't place is Brown Skin Girl. All other things being equal, it would have deserved at least a top 30.

my most-played 2019 song in 2020 has been this one
