ILM's 2020 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

Maisha - Open the Gates
Megan Thee Stallion ft. Beyoncé – Savage Remix

Megan certainly is; Maisha is not?

Time for a new keyboard as this one is not catching all my typing the same way anymore.

ha, I can see it here - it was added yesterday by (user name) empeecee.
I’m guessing you’re not using the display option where songs that are unavailable in your country are shown but greyed out in playlists?

dunno how i would turn that on or off!

Deena Abdelwahed - Wein Al Malayeen

Is there some reason why the EOY playlists are always on Spotify and not Youtube, even though Youtube usually has every nominated track available, and it doesn't require creating an user account either?

From that list of tracks not on Spotify, here's Ilana Bryne - Give Me Strength:

https://naivetrax.bandcamp.com/track/ilana-bryne-give-me-strength

In some years there has been a Youtube playlist as well as a Spotify - it's a lot of work to do even one playlist so it kind of only happens if someone volunteers. (volunteers welcome)

Why Spotify in the first place? has come up before (lex always complained iirc), there was never a clear consensus for another option and it happens to be what the people running the polls have tended to use.

ALBUMS
LEYA - Flood Dream 

TRACKS
Grimes - IDORU 
Cut Copy - Love Is All We Share (Octo Octa Deep Feelings remix)

22/30

feel free to make a youtube list tuomas, it would be welcomed.

as it happens, there's a bevy of programs that can do most of the heavy lifting for you now

ALBUMS
Nick Storring - My Magic Dreams Have Lost Their Spell
26/30

Sorry, I didn't mean to complain about the hard work you've done compiling these lists, of course it's appreciated. I was just wondering if there's some conscious choice in preferring Spotify, which, to me at least, seems less convenient than Youtube.

But of course I understand that compiling them in Spotify is easier if you're using it anyway.

Spotify much more convenient for me - easy to listen to the tracks playlists in the house via various Alexa speakers, in the car via phone, in work etc

YouTube playlist would surely come with annoying ads for everyone and there's a big of a cognitive blocker with YouTube as most think of it a visual-led platform. If they'd allowed audio-only clips on it years ago they'd probably be able to compete more with Spotify as an audio-first platform.

Youtube ads are all blocked if you use a browser that has an adblocker. I don't think it works for Spotify ads tho... Personally, I find Spotify ads more irritating than YT ones, because at least in here it's the same 2 or 3 ads that keep repeating again and again.

are bandcamp playlists a thing? would they be a viable option?

(feel dumb for not knowing)

I don't think Bandcamp allows you to compile playlists. Their streaming functionalities are pretty limited.

No, no bandcamp playlists. I think it'd be tough for them to square something like that with their pro paying-the-artist stance. As it stands you (the artist) choose what's streamable for free and how many times, so if they went more "streaming forward" it wouldn't really be compatible. It would be cool to have something like a list-making facility, though, so I could compile "best synth-punk" links or something along those lines.

i haven't used it but avalon emerson's https://buymusic.club/ should allow you to do that

Oh cool, I'll take a look at that. Thanks!
