Nice to see Javiera Mena and the Knife. I think everyone knows my feelings on the 1975 by now.

xp nice, nothing at all post-4 would be nuts (assume anything else is out tho)

voted for Full of Fire, not a song I listen to that often anymore, but anytime I do it always seems better than what I remember

I figured Formation would be here. Not sure if the S/T has one song we all agree on enough to make it this high.

The s/t has become my least favorite of the three most recent albums, but I wouldn't have minded one of the singles placing.

I fully expect three Beyoncé albums in next week's rollout, but tracks were subject to mad vote splitting.

That's exactly what I was thinking about The 1975.

That's the one I voted for after realizing that the Flawless nomination was the version without Chimamanda
Would have gladly voted for Drunk in Love too. Don't get the fuss about Love on Top though, and never liked Countdown (still can't believe she intended to do something that would appeal to the art pop audience).

Something tells me there are going to be a couple of surprises in the top ten

I'd wondered if she'd make an appearance.

Oh wow, is White Foxes coming up next ?

oooh yeah. too many people said they'd voted for it.

As the world gets more tense and irritating, "Full of Fire" sounds better and better.

"Accelerate" would've been my pick.

I would have given this a lot more points than I did if I wasn't also voting for the album. Therefore, too low! Haha

I was team Fade Away, but really I'm team every single song on that album.

I'm team 'if it ended at Slowly it'd be literally perfect'

I've always loved what a weird closer Insects is. It doesn't really have anything to do with the rest of the album, but it somehow works.

First time hearing this. Or am I?

It sounds so much like something else to my ears but I think it might be something in Spanish.

Particularly the mmm is it the bridge? There’s so many hooks I’m not sure which one is the chorus. I mean the “safety net /// the strangest thing” part.

Anyways, cool song!

I need to listen to this album huh?

w h a t

Wonder what other songs besides "Delirious" will score higher in the decade-end poll than their respective year-end polls.

Onwards to the top 10

Team "Accelerate and Fade Away are really one song actually"

well, yeah

Ratchet was the best thing in the world for a few years, very happy it made the poll. And Aquarius is still such a good album.

So far so good!

I half-regret not nominating Die a little bit, Life is too short, Feel like Vegas, Bet, Hopscotch... a ridiculous list like that. Next to having 2 On in the top 10.

Both "Delirious" and "Fade Away" are so fucking great.

Glad Tinashe had an undeniable perfect mega hit and also that she now just makes great albums at her own pace

I'd forgotten how great 2 On was until going through the playlist, fairly late addition to my ballot.

On Solange: I think I might have listened to this one the first time through some bad speakers because I remember it sounded very dull and never gave it another chance but listening to it now on decent headphones it's kind of blowing my mind.

On Tinashe: completely forgot about this one but it's easily one of the best singles of the 2010s. It still sounds futuristic.

this, and also "White Foxes" and "Undercover"

Yeah, i mean "Kaputt" is just perfect isn't it

Big points jump

voted for Kaputt, did not expect it in the top 10. I assumed most people would just vote highly for the album. Possibly the best Destroyer track.

Did not vote for Kaputt. I had "Laziest River" as my number 1.

Have never found a way to like anything by Destroyer as much as I like his best New Pornographers tracks

colouring of pigeons my knife jam of the decade

Pretty awesome top 20 so far.

I had Cranes In The Sky in my top five. It came out when I was really struggling with things and gave me a lot of comfort. The melody is so beautiful and her vocal is perfectly executed. Great video too.

Didn't vote for Kaputt but it is my favourite song on the album.

same, have it at number 6 on my ballot

I see probably one more track that I voted for showing up, and I accidentally had it twice in my ballot, I'm guessing it was only counted once despite this

"Kaputt" my number one! Did not even debate putting it on top.
