but do I love it?

"I'm a 90s bitch;" i.e. you're old now too.

this is an extremely… white start to the rollout. sounds of blackness are sorely missing, or is “Uptown Funk” supposed to be a stand-in for those?

"I Love It" - absolutely undeniable

xp noticed that too, but assume it will be rectified

next 20 could look totally different who knows, such is the way of doing these rollouts over multiple days

On one hand, I get why people are sick of Uptown Funk. But for me, it's probably the only retro-minded megahits of the 2010s that I'm somehow not tired of. Like I will take it any day over "Get Lucky", which I fear will still somehow place on here.

perhaps PSB would have made my list
good album

"i love it," that is certainly a song from the 2010s

not that i dislike it, but it is def gonna be the "this is the year 2012" song for every period piece eventually set in the early 10s lol

And yet the first thing that comes to my mind when someone says 2012, is "Gangnam Style".

From today's results only HAIM's "if i could change your mind" didn't crack the top 77 in its respective year.

Biggest falls from grace are probably Dua Lipa and Mitski (from #2s in their respective years)?

2012 songs that immediatly come to mind for me are 'call me maybe' and 'we found love'.

somehow I thought 'I love it' was older than 2012. Feels like even a late 00s songs to me, my timelines are effed up.

As I mentioned earlier, "If I Could Change Your Mind" did manage to crack the top 77 for 2014 at 56 when it was released as a single.

Yeah, the Haim track placed later under the "year of impact" provision.

oooh! blame ufo for that one lol.

That said, I don't think it's a spoiler to say there are in fact several songs coming up that hadn't appeared previously on the top 77.

this is an extremely… white start to the rollout. sounds of blackness are sorely missing, or is “Uptown Funk” supposed to be a stand-in for those?

― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl)

it's what people voted for; there's no such thing as a "stand-in"

Glad it's not just me that thought this!

Voted for the Dua, Mitski, and Katy Perry tracks. "Teenage Dream" is the high point of the Dr. Luke/Max Martin maximalist radio pop run that included Sugababes, Kelly Clarkson, Kesha, Britney, and others. Lifted the electric guitar from "Since U Been Gone," folded in the enormous EDM backbeats of the 2010s, and ran it through the Max Martin songwriting formula (literally at 120 bpm) to create something that at once sounds like every other song and totally its own. Who can deny "You! Make! Me!"? Owen Pallett wrote a good music theory piece on it years ago:

https://slate.com/culture/2014/03/katy-perrys-teenage-dream-explaining-the-hit-using-music-theory.html

I Love It couldn't be older than 2010s because CXCX is on it.

But I guess it does kinda feel like she's been around forever too.

Goon crew has either left the site or doesn't really fw polls like this. Really only leaves pop perverts and imago.

I don't get the appeal of the Tove Lo and Tove Stryke songs, both are pleasant enough songs i wouldn't turn off if they came on the ten spot on a long satellite radio drive but they seem really lacking in immediacy compared to the Icona Pop or Katy Perry or Jack U songs for example.

I also think Bruno did better songs for sure, Locked Out of Heaven is way better than Uptown Funk and I should have voted for it.

i voted for a bunch of rap songs that will not sniff the top 100 :/

Don't Blame Me I Voted For Lex Luger

xp the Toves deliver a little more sophisticated take on pop that's admittedly not immediate like Icona Pop or Katy Perry, but rewards closer listening with regard to arrangement, construction, chord progressions, etc.

My challops today is that there are at least five other Katy Perry tracks from the 2010s that I find more immediate (and better) than Teenage Dream.

The weird thing about people thinking "I Love It" as being older than 2012, is that it was actually in 2013 when the song really blew up in the mainstream public consciousness.

I remember hearing it on Girls, which also feels older than it actually is.

For some reason I though it was used in trailer for the Jonah Hill film, "The Sitter", but that came out in 2011. So I suppose I'm probably confusing it with something else.

about 1/3 of my tracks ballot is rap

Woooo PSB was my #5! That Purcell DNA...the unabashed simplicity...the soul of England! Also love that the self-important petulance at the heart of the lyrics; very relatable. Still listening and dancing to this on like a weekly basis.

Some of the songs which I hadn’t heard in years are sounding better than I remember:

Andromeda, Feel You and Slow Burn

I completely forgot about that Tove Styrke. I'd likely have thrown it a vote if I'd have had the time to re-listen to everything.

"If I Could Change Your Mind" also placed at #56 in the 2014 Tracks Poll.

oops, missed this, completely forgot it was a single in 2014

Goon crew has either left the site or doesn't really fw polls like this. Really only leaves pop perverts and imago.

yeah this change in userbase is pretty obvious from the results generally (and has been in the EOY polls for like 5 years now) but this is about the only stretch that's so white

& a lot of the most interesting placements are in the 200-102 range

"pop perverts"

gtfo

might as well get this out of the way im not exactly thrilled by what some of you have deemed amongst the top 50 songs of the 2010s

More of what I voted for has shown up today than I expected - Chromatics, Katy Perry, Haim (Falling), Bicep, Selena Gomez

I voted for "Bad Liar"... will be happy if a small handful of my votes end up placing.

Sorry I missed today's rollout but "I Love It" was my #2, was worried that the whole rest of ILM had forgotten about it, glad to see it place even if too low. Absolute high-water mark of the kind of blown-out ridiculous just-go-for-it pop that it is. I am not in general a guy who shakes my fists in the air but I shake my fists in the air for "I Love It."

Three of my votes in the first 20! Wow. Four if I voted for "Uptown Funk," which I can imagine myself having done, but don't think I did. "I Love It," "Bad Liar," and "Snow is Falling In Manhattan." The Purple Mountains is the one I'm surprised more people didn't join me in.

I watched the first episode of Twin Peaks: The Return with a friend visiting from Sweden. She was really impressed by it, and especially by the beauty and the somewhat Nico quality of the Chromatics ending song and credits

Hate "Uptown Funk," should have voted for "I Love It."

I've voted for Selena, Mitski, and Jason Isbell so far. Would have voted for Tove Styrke too, but didn't. I must have just skimmed past it on the list.
