ILM's Top 100 Tracks of the 2010s

Lol it’s even better than that!

I think this and Lapsley are the only songs from my ballot on the countdown so far. Didn’t expect this one to place. Glad it made it.

First time hearing the remix and it’s sounding real good.

God, I loved this song a decade ago. She's never topped it.

would rather see 'Door' here but figure 'So Hot...' might place

Glad to see Wolf Alice make it, even at 78! I had this pretty low in my ballot. It's a fun song, but far from the top of my list of Wolf Alice songs, if that makes sense. My #1 and #2 are also Wolf Alice songs that I'm not necessarily expecting to place.

I think I listened to Orange once or twice a long time ago. It's pretty good stuff, even if it doesn't exactly latch with me.

I only heard Strawberry Skies during the run-up to this poll. I really like it, but left it off because my ballot mostly focused on music that I was actually listening to during the decade.

I've never listened to Chairlift or Caroline Polachek. Only know her from the Charli XCX song Tears, which I forgot to nominate but was a favorite of the decade. This song makes me think they would be in my wheelhouse.

I don't remember Wolf Alice being so low in our 2017 poll. It'll probably be higher than our entire top five from that year (already above Bad Liar and New Rules). Because I didn't love their debut, I didn't even check out anything from the second album until our poll. Kisses is the song that made me a fan and ended up in my top ten.

Delighted to see Chairlift here. Such an amazing song. Wonder if any of Caroline Polachek's solo material will be higher. Would like to see Door make it.

I never got into Frank Ocean. His flat voice is a deal breaker. As a couple of others have said, Miguel over Frank any day.

Strawberry Skies is gorgeous. My brother turned me on to that one back in the day. Another one that feels like an absolute lifetime ago. Good to see it here.

Good start to the list today.

"don't delete the kisses" was one of my last cuts, glorious

"strawberry skies" is a good pop extension of the lopatin universe. it's not too different from much of his stuff with ford, but i also hear echoes of his ecco jams (get it?)

76. Migos ft. Lil Uzi Vert - Bad and Boujee (2016)

but where is "t-shirt"?

my migos vote went to "versace," which was probably my first exposure to them and still their best work imo.

"bad and boujee" is great, though. uzi's verse was my least favorite part at the time, but moments from in his 16 still pop into my head from time to time ("met! her! today!")

75. Nicki Minaj - Super Bass (2010)
[337 points / 9 votes]
Previous Placement: 3 in 2011

hasn't aged super well imo

My biggest problem with the song is its actual lack of bass.

The first half of "Pyramids" is OK; the second half is massive

Never knew why Super Bass was the breakout hit, or why it was so high in the 2011 poll, or why people are voting for it now, she has so many better songs and it shows off almost none of her talents. Guess it's not unpleasant, just that's kind of it.

They played this one at the gym I went to almost every day and I have to admit it was a fun song to run to - the first times at least.

Agree that it hasn't really aged well and yeah there's way too much high end on it, where's the super bass!?

Shocked to see this one so low but, yeah, perhaps the glow has worn off.

loved this track

I completely forgot about Amel Larrieux and this album is actually really good. Thanks ILM for reminding me about her and this song. Should've voted for this one.

Brilliant song I somehow didn't vote for.

This is great, was on a longlist for a bit. Moment To Reflect (not nominated) even better

This, however, is better

hey!

from 2016's best album

I kept my WAK votes for the album, would have been Love Song if forced to choose, but it is all Absolutely Great

This songs defines "shimmer."

voted for this one. song is like a plush, weighted blanket in audio form

Christ, it absolutely FLIES by as well. You're ready for another four minutes and it ends

Can we keep Space Soul Corner going?

thought that one was going higher

Sorry, imago. We can't.

Space Soul to Blank Space just about sums it up

and i'll write your name

could do without hearing or thinking about this one ever again tbh. too bad i still think of it every time i pass a damn starbucks

This is the best of the 1989 singles and was on my long list i think, but i hope the Red singles do better.

i really like the Games ep and trying to correctly guess all the obscure flags off the front cover

strawberry skies probs the best tune but flowers in bloom a personal fav

Great to see Amel Larrieux here. Another one I didn't know about until it showed up in our poll. The whole album is so good.

I didn't vote for any KING tracks in the end, just the album. Hey or Native Land would have been my picks if I'd had room. Excited to see how the album does next week.

Incapable feels very much like a 2020's song to me just because of how many times I've listened to Róisín Machine.

I wonder what ufo meant by the poll results at various points during voting being liable to annoy virtually everyone. How much Taytay lurks in 102-140

all too well probs the best Red cut tbh
