I admire all the stuff that is not there though, as indicated by the lack of consensus in points. I'm also looking forward to seeing individual lists, since I had zero time to do anything else in the last three weeks than vote and become a father.

Every year I see people wonder what was/will be the song of the summer and this is the last consensus choice I can name.
pretty big consensus for Old Town Road

If we still cared about this sort of thing, I'd have thought "Good 4 You" last year and "As It Was" today would be the picks.
As It Was and the song with the Tom Tom Club sample are the only contenders

just for the record...
“Hard Times” has a firm spring in its step, which is good, but where’s the beef? where’s the grit? at this point the rollout could do with a healthy dose of Burna― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), 16 August 2022 19:02

Hatchie song is great but this poll is remarkably one-note.
"Style" is the 3rd Max Martin cowrite, I believe. Thinking he'll get at least a few more from Taylor + Britney + Ariana.

I figure there's an AI that could provide ilxors with an endless stream of disco-ish/synthy songs by artists with names like Muxlie and Kleevan.
― President Keyes, Wednesday, 17 August 2022 14:14 (one year ago) link
was gonna say, nothing specifically against Hatchie but this song absolutely epitomises this poll so far and its absolute commitment to glossy female-fronted soft-yearning (ideally that sounds like something from 20+ years ago - this is the Underworld-via-80s one isn't it)

Am not much of a Swift fan but Style is a great song, was cut from my ballot on the last go around though.

Thinking he'll get at least a few more from Taylor + Britney + Ariana.
Unless there's a ton of support for "Shake It Off" or "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", I think we're done for Max Martin cowrites of Taylor Swift songs. I think the fact that "Style" has placed as low as it has makes me think we only have a small handful of Taylor Swift tracks left that could possibly place.

“Cool For The Summer” is a great record tho. I didn’t vote for it, but I’m happy it’s here - one of the first entries to actually make me feel that way. if not grit then give me oomph.as a wise woman once said:I want to go where the people dance I want some *action*, I want to live *Action*, I got so much to give I want to give it, I want to get some too

Can't clearly articulate why but I think there's a good argument that both of these songs are better representations of the 2010s and Taylor Swift's talents/output than either "Blank Space" or "Style," which similar to "Cool for the Summer" feel more like the Martin formula grafted onto an artist.
Also, no chance that any of the Reputation tracks place? Haven't looked back at that year's poll but thought "Delicate" and "Gorgeous" had a chance.
― Indexed, Wednesday, 17 August 2022 14:34 (one year ago) link
The Dawson-related track I voted for was Hen Ogledd's "Problem Child," which to me was like something as good as an early Peter Gabriel solo track dropping out of nowhere, but I'm not sure if anyone else feels that way.
