Halfway through maybe only my second listen of 'Angel' and I remember the first time thinking yeah cool I'll put it in my 2022 ah wait maybe he did something else I'll like even more then getting distracted. Loved 'Lampara' from a few years back too.

I guess I haven't been paying attention (and I didn't vote this year), but I'm a little surprised "Break My Soul" didn't make it. I don't have strong feelings about Beyonce, but that song has always struck me as an undeniable jam. Did people just want to avoid the obvious critical favorite?
― jaymc, Thursday, 23 February 2023 01:09 (one year ago) link
I'm surprised it didn't make it but I don't especially like the song either so
― the forces of darkness making making us laugh ourselves into DEATH?? (dog latin), Thursday, 23 February 2023 01:11 (one year ago) link
I'm guessing everyone picked their favorite cut on the Beyonce album and split the votes (I had a different one on mine, Break My Soul is definitely not my fave).
― change display name (Jordan), Thursday, 23 February 2023 01:12 (one year ago) link
as far as Beyoncé in 2023 goes (and as someone that listed Renaissance as #1 in the album poll) I would only have countenanced a vote for the Queens Remix of "Break My Soul", despite the original technically being my most played track of 2022 (this is because it was released before the album, so I played it a bit then, and then once the album itself arrived it demanded a complete listen from beginning to end every single time, so, there wasn't much opportunity for any other track to beat it out in scrobble count).
A great song but I'd pick, like, 12 other tracks from the album over it easily. "Cuff It" not getting a single vote is more surprising to me honestly.
― monotony, Thursday, 23 February 2023 01:19 (one year ago) link
"Cuff It" wasn't nommed
― maf you one two (maffew12), Thursday, 23 February 2023 01:28 (one year ago) link
I spent barely seconds on nominations this time, but I doubt I've had two of them ("Saoko" and "Gary Asby") making the top 100 before. Finger secretly very much on the pulse, lol.

I was out for the end of the rollout but enjoyed it all. I think 14 things off my ballot placed, so no complaints from me. Curious, is this the least Anglo-American top 10 ever?

I don't quite the rationale of all the fake-outs... seems there's plenty of reaction/argument over the actual placements anyway, and the fakes don't really generate an "extra" response or do anything except cause confusion(?) A friend who's been monitoring the Spotify playlist had to ask me if certain ones were real (after he brought up "Bruno," I said no, that's fake)... and I got Drake wrong, didn't realize that was a fake-out. What's the point(?)
Just my 2c... thanks to the poll-runners, as always!

Beyonce album made the top 10 so I don’t think ILM is anti-beyonce, it got vote splitted. Also I don’t really follow her but as an outsider I didn’t see any singles - other than “break my soul” - being pushed?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 23 February 2023 02:23 (one year ago) link
I’m checking her youtube page and I don’t see any music videos for any other song
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 23 February 2023 02:24 (one year ago) link
There isn’t even a video for “break my soul” just a visualizer and a cliquebait video whatever that means.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 23 February 2023 02:25 (one year ago) link
The ongoing lack of Renaissance music videos (presumably, due to protracted contractual negotiations with a streaming giant - it seems like she needs their cash before she can release them) has been a source of great agony for all Beyoncé fans over the last ~7 months. There was also a rumour that the videos for all songs had to be reworked in December as Beyoncé wasn’t happy with the final cuts.
Anyway, “Cuff It” is currently in the Billboard top 10 so I think it counts as a bona fide hit.
