I to this day still like this Todd Terje song better than the 2012 one that won...

I hope I didn't fumble it when it came down to the wire.

this list seems to be missing the scientifically-proven best song of the year.
i'm speaking, of course, of "bugatti" by ace hood featuring future and rick ross

also missing the second-best song of the year, "versace" by migos

i guess critics didn't come around to the greatness of atlanta-based trap music until after it started to get stale. 'twas ever thus.

I love Song for Zula.

I'm very surprised that "Royals" beat "Get Lucky" for the number one spot this year. Tho it only barely beat it.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 5 June 2021 22:54 (two years ago) link
Full of Fire is still my favorite track from that year, and the video is memorable

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
― System, Monday, 7 June 2021 00:01 (two years ago) link
ended up voting for "Get Lucky."
― Bee OK, Monday, 7 June 2021 16:44 (two years ago) link
as long as the winner isn't lorde, VW, AF, drake, JT, TWOD, thicke, vile, or cave I'll be satisfied
I'd even take more todd terje over those (here's another solid track I've never heard before & won't come rushing back to)

get lucky is such an aggressively ok song it's hard for me to imagine really loving or hating it. why was it such a thing again?

correct winner, when i relistened i sort of felt like it was the best song from this year but also know that i will probably vote for the album when that comes up.
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 8 June 2021 02:55 (two years ago) link
a very ilm track to win this poll (but also a good track)
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Tuesday, 8 June 2021 05:40 (two years ago) link
