Full Results
Non-self-explanatory stats:Enthusiasm: Average points per ballot, divided by the max it could have (50).Popularity: The Spotify Popularity score for the track, if it's on Spotify.Hotttnesss: This is an EchoNest thing. Not really sure what it means.Critical Consensus: How well the track did on other publications' EOY lists. 0 means it didn't feature anywhere, 1 means it was #1 on every list.
Aggregated Artist Results
Some basic stats combining all tracks by a single artist (not counting featured artists). If a voter voted for more than one track by an artist, only the top track is counted.
Genre Results
For every genre in Glenn's big map of the universe that had at least 10 tracks with at least one vote, I compiled a top 10 list. Not all the genre assignments make sense, but hey. I also tried to work out genre-subgenre relationships, so votes for "indie r&b" also count towards "r&b".
Voter Statistics
Hivemind score: this is the average points total for the tracks on your ballot; how your ballot was ordered doesn't change the score.Fuxxor Quotient: the proportion of tracks on your ballot that were in Pitchfork's top 100.Antifuxxor Ratio: Hivemind divided by Fuxxor Quotient. A high ratio means your taste is much closer to that of ILM than to that of Pitchfork. A score of infinity means you're awesome.Populism: the average Spotify popularity of the tracks on your ballot that are also on Spotify.Loneliness: the proportion of your tracks that nobody else voted for. This year's loneliest voter is...not a surprise.Blood Sausage Index: The average points total for tracks that didn't appear on a collection of other EOY lists. Essentially, whether you love songs that nobody outside of ILM cares or knows about.Hotttnesss: see above; how hottt you are, basicallyTop neighbour: essentially the voter whose ballot intersects most with yours.Top genre: the genre you gave the most points to, according to Glenn's automagically generated genres.You should probably read: The non-ILM EOY tracks list that intersects most with yours.

5/25; first time I haven't been the sole voter for something, though. Most annoyed about forgetting about Destra's "Lucy" (came out so early in Jan!); think my vote would have pushed it into the 70s :/ Since I was travelling for a month or so and threw a ballot together at the last minute, I tried to eliminate crossover between albums & singles to save time cutting things down.

I don't generally expect that many of my selections will place, but the non-placer I was most surprised by was ANOHNI - as well as being amazing it also stands out by sounding completely unlike the rest of the competition. Thought it was well-received on ILM too.

well, i want to rep as much music by as many artists as possible, ideally, given how many there were making amazing music in any given year, and doubling up reduces that
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Thursday, 21 January 2016 23:47 (nine years ago)
Lots of people just aren't singles/tracks oriented, so the songs on their face lps are the ones they want to vote for. Seems like the wrong way to do things, sure, but I'm partly guilty of it myself.

"here are the best albums without any good tracks on them"
well...if you vote for an album people will assume you love most of the tracks...and don't need to be told again
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Thursday, 21 January 2016 23:50 (nine years ago)
personally I feel like its a bit of a waste of time, eg the Susanne Sundfor album is full of great tracks but it's even better taken together as a statement of intent as an "album" and if I tell you it's a great album I don't need to spell out that it consists of ten great tracks
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 21 January 2016 23:50 (nine years ago)

― u kno how that shd go (Will M.), Thursday, 21 January 2016 23:54 (nine years ago)
like I totally ignored Annie, Laura Groves, Kaledia, The Japanese House, Dej Loaf and Sevyn Streeter because I thought of their releases as not singles but didn't consider that they wouldn't be at all possible options for albums votes
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 21 January 2016 23:56 (nine years ago)
the honey cocaine ep is one of the only eps i've ever considered voting for as an album (but voted for "sundae" instead to no avail)
and yeah in general eps are becoming more of a thing
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Thursday, 21 January 2016 23:59 (nine years ago)
I just feel like having no cross over between album and track ballots would be completely dishonest

― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Friday, 22 January 2016 16:07 (nine years ago)
speaking to the lex's album vs. singles concerns up thread: what constitutes a strong single in my mind is different than what constitutes a continuous album. For a single, I was condensed and overwhelming emotion that I can unleash in case of emergency; with an album i need sequencing and diversity and continuous answering of the "what's next?" question. I don't know that saying albums are more difficult/more inherently meaningful than singles is right... they're different goals. It's like comparing raising a child or starting a business; there's different levels of commitment and skills at play but they both take work and artistry. Secondarily, there's so much music out there that if I allowed overlap of my album list to my singles, I would lose the ability to look at songs that really really impacted me (hit the quan or que suenen los tambores or kime ne or landmarks for examples) without context. I love getting blindsided by an isolated song and being caught up without any sense of background or oeuvre. It's not the ONLY way I can fully embrace a single song but it's certainly one of the more exhilarating.

― sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a truck (imago), Friday, 22 January 2016 16:23 (nine years ago)
There is a simple solution to this:
1. list your top X songs that impacted you in isolation; BOOM there is your tracks ballot2. list your top x albums that impacted you as discrete musical units; BOOM there is your albums ballot3. if there's any overlap, shrug and send that shit in anyway
― its subtle brume (DJP), Friday, 22 January 2016 16:28 (nine years ago)
like, limiting myself to one slot per artist per ballot felt like an onerous sacrifice, limiting myself to one slot per artist in total would have been completely unthinkable
i don't need voting purity to appreciate individual songs more but then our listening habits are possibly very different
i just vote for my favourite tracks and my favourite albums. i dispute lex's claim that this approach produces similar results in the two polls any more than keeping the two separate would, at least assuming we have diverse tastes
it is possible to both listen to albums as albums and also pick out individual songs and listen to them as songs

I had 4 Kendrick songs on my tracks ballot because I listened to them a ton independently of the album; I ranked them in the order of frequency that I listened to them. There was no way any of them were not going to be on my ballot; in fact, if I was doing it over I would probably put a few more Kendrick songs on it because I spent a lot of time popping into that album in random spots and grooving on isolated songs, almost as much as I did playing it front to back. (Aside from possibly the Marriages album, nothing else I listened to this past year came close to receiving the same number of spins.) Dumping those tracks in the name of showing off my breadth and diversity of taste would not be a true representation of the music I spent the last year digging and it always baffles me when I see people chime in during the tracks rollout with "oh I love this song, heard it so many times, played it constantly, I took it off my ballot so I could include this K-pop song I found out about last week"

I almost don't listen to tracks outside of the context of an album so the point is kinda moot as far as I'm concerned, my favorite tracks are most likely on my favorite albums (also I didn't nominate any of my favorite tracks anyway, as I needed the noms for my albums, so I ended up voting for what others had nominated, which obviously is not going to be very representative of my own favs)

this might get to the heart of it because that's not a simple solution! putting tracks in numerical order stops making sense to me after about three or four; thereafter i feel i'm comparing so many different things as to make it nonsensical. "big pop hit that sounded amazing at parties" vs "country ballad me and my bf both loved" vs "10 min dance instrumental that is compositionally incomparable to a pop song but that i loved for different reasons" vs "summer jam" vs "winter headphones song", it feels arbitrary
so excising album artists from my tracks ballot is not being dishonest or pretentious any more than any reason for cutting any other song is, more convenient and a way to make the exercise more fun/less predictable for myself
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Friday, 22 January 2016 16:51 (nine years ago)
with that approach though lex you're effectively ruling out the artists who made the best albums from the tracks poll
...which feels counter-intuitive. for, let's say, dawn richard not to have representation in the tracks 77 feels plain wrong, in fact

I had no overlap w/ my singles and albums lists. Album tracks didn't really function as good singles for me this year
― rap is dad (it's a boy!), Friday, 22 January 2016 16:57 (nine years ago)
the only dawn tracks i considered voting for were "james dean" and "dance" bc they weren't on the album. my votes for all her amazing tracks were contained in my vote for her amazing album
tbh in terms of listening i usually end up listening in ep-length chunks? i mean listening to An Album All The Way Through is great and all if it merits it, but one's listening time doesn't always come in album-length sizes
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Friday, 22 January 2016 16:59 (nine years ago)
how i do my ballot:
Whack the whole list into ExcelGo down the list, putting a cross in the right hand column of every song I know or recogniseSort these into known/not knownGo through these and give each mark out of 9: 9 being undroppable, 1 being... well I don't bother with those.I end up with a longest of tracks ranked between 9 and 6, which I then attempt to rank in order. I think about it in these turns: Would I rather hear the track after this one on the list, or this one.Bit of chopping and changing and I'm done.
That's probably more or less what everyone does.

lex / dan / lj: you're presenting it like it's a problem that I haven't solved. I'm perfectly happy with my methodology; it just doesn't jibe with the way you do it, which is fine.important again as always imo to suggest that we maybe not take ourselves too seriously when discussing the intricacies of tabulating deep meaningful opinions from 130 or so music nerds. I mean _I'm_ listening of course, and the conversation is certainly worthwhile but suggesting there's a platonic "right way" to do it or to bemoan the lack of inclusion of an artist that we're all listening to already in our slambook is where you start to lose me.

i stand with lex in this debate. when i have a list of 50-something tracks i need to cut to 25 and i'm finding arbitrary reasons to drop tracks, 'i already voted for this track along with every other track on the album in my albums list' is a pretty good reason. i also don't really quantify exactly how much i like most of the tracks i love throughout the year, i either have a good experience with a track and return to it repeatedly, or i don't. so it's not like i'm dropping 10/10's from my list and keeping 8/10's in favor of diversity.

> do people have diverse lists to 'give support to the widest range of artists possible' ... or just because they just like diversity
I made made a preliminary list to serve as a time capsule of this year in my listening, then went through everything nominated by a half dozen ILMers with sympatico tastes, and sampled maybe 40% of the Spotify list. Guilty pleasure Fleur East, and a "new Grace Jones", V V Brown, slipped in this way (wish someone had nominated the album Glitch). Then its just prune till I'm pretty sure everything left will stand up to repeated listens, and still sparks pleasure when I hear it's opening.
As for albums, I've got 65 (well some are EPs) in the library and have sampled perhaps 100 others. Its enough to be fairly sure of my top 30 without much effort. Cut 5 that I know won't appeal to anybody else and I'm done. I'd love to have the time to delve further in that enormous Spotify list, but I suspect I'll have my blind spots filled in by the poll results and the ballots from ILMers on the same wavelength.

Disappointed in the poor placing of the afropop tracks. I had expected more tracks to cloud over the Top 77, like a blessed rain about to pour down. Still hoping the niches will be un-niched some time soon.

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 23 January 2016 00:44 (nine years ago)
Seriously though for a minute people, I think what actually examining the individual ballots demonstrates is that all the tribalistic narc of some dude bs is unwarranted - people who voted for your most hated also voted for your fave, the stuff you can't fathom anyone in the world liking happily sits alongside the stuff that feels like it was created especially for you.
So maybe the answer is that your own private idiosyncratic rules for good and bad aren't really that important or even meaningful beyond yrself.
― Tim F, Saturday, 23 January 2016 00:44 (nine years ago)
But in all seriousness 1975 is bad for your ears.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 23 January 2016 00:47 (nine years ago)
The 1975 are one of those bands where you might be initially repulsed beyond belief (I was) but if you actually try to engage with them, like even a little bit, you'll end up finding something nice to say about them, which is more than can be said about some bands. This is what is known as Tim F1nney Stockholm Syndrome tho so pinch of salt ;)
― sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a truck (imago), Saturday, 23 January 2016 00:50 (nine years ago)
Obv it's a lot just that I like them but I also think the majority of haters here who think this is the worst band ever have a very confined notion of what the band is premised on the songs in this year's poll and maybe like "Girls" and "Sex" and "Chocolate", whereas if they listened to "Me" or "fallingforyou" or "Undo" or "Intro/Set 3" or "Haunt//Bed" or "Menswear" would be very surprised.
― Tim F, Saturday, 23 January 2016 00:53 (nine years ago)
And if you get into the band through the latter sort of material it totally shapes and changes the way you perceive of a song like "Love Me".
Hey hey I never said they were the worst band ever, just the worst band in this poll. I can think of worst.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 23 January 2016 01:00 (nine years ago)
But I'm also baiting. I honestly don't mind if you like them.

First listen in the noms list, I dismissed the 1975. Then gr80 described them to me as like if the Jonas Brothers did drugs, lol, and I saw the video and vibed on that and thought hey why not throw them a vote.

I mentioned this in the voting thread, but V V Brown's "Shift" is p much a RnB/dance music masterpiece that I found out about from Alfred blogging about TSJ. Exactly the kind of otherwise-overlooked classic that I expect to discover in the ILX tracks poll when we're not succumbing to millenial schmindie-ism or doubling/tripling up on pet albums. But thats in me as much as anybody, least of all for forgetting to nominate it.

Yeah, I went with your tactic of not voting for songs off the albums I was voting for, so I would be surprised (and basically burn the entire message board down) if Angel Haze doesn't make albums. I have mixed feelings about the varying tactics - it felt quite refreshing this year but I think it is because my top five make sense as coherent units rather than a bunch of standout songs put together. Though actually my #2 might have been too tempting if they hadn't released the standouts in 2014.
― emil.y, Saturday, 23 January 2016 03:34 (nine years ago)
Adore both the Abra album and the Angel Haze mixtape but both feel like releases it would feel very odd to pull individual songs out of, both are so coherent full statements or at least I experience them that way.
― Tim F, Saturday, 23 January 2016 03:42 (nine years ago)

This was my #1 (after being my #4 and realizing after tabulation that my top three weren't nominated) and would chalk it up to the song being released really late in the year, early Dec. iirc.

Skimming on individual polls to see if I find something I like (I have found many songs I've liked, actually). But this is so good. It seems many of you voted for it and I hadn't seen it anywhere. Any threads you'd recommend where you discuss this sort of music throughout the year?

i did listen to a bit, but they didn't have the pretty thing going on underneath like some of those i hate sex tunes, it's more kind of straight-up face-peeling noise iirc? will explore some more though

Yeah, I listened to the i hate sex song several times today. The juxtaposition of the harsh screaming against the pretty jangly guitars clicked with me.

In a weird way, it made me think of the Pixies, even though it is obviously different.

Three tracks into Circle Thinking, I think I love this band.

xp: And that list was just scratching the surface. Other good 2015 Norwegian pop we neglected to nominate: Ane Brun - Shape of a Heart, Röyksopp - I Had This Thing, Aurora - Running With The Wolves, Farao - Bodies, Karin Park & Pandora Drive - Hurricane, Kate Havnevik - Falling. All of which arguably better than some of the Europop that placed. But we already had enough lilly white Geirbait, I guess.

One of my favorite Scandinavian things from last year that seems to have gone missing: Rangleklods - Lost U

it's great! i discovered it as i was scanning through the nominations, putting together a couple playlists. i made an indie/shoegaze/twee kinda list from certain tracks for my wife and included a pair of theirs and she was all about them too, so i think i'm going to buy the vinyl.
― nomar, Monday, 25 January 2016 18:19 (nine years ago)
did you happen to hit Novella or Venera 4?
― its subtle brume (DJP), Monday, 25 January 2016 18:23 (nine years ago)
yeah! really enjoying what i've heard from them too. i think i've got tracks by about fifty artists on that playlist, all kind of in that vague style, all from the nominations list.
― nomar, Monday, 25 January 2016 18:31 (nine years ago)
Black Paws is a great track and I shall keep an eye on Venera 4

def my most hivemindey year i can recall
I was the second loneliest ilxor with a full ballot and flying solo on the following (country and Youtube plays in brackets):
Vremya I Steklo - Imya 505 (UKR, 57.5m): Addictive Ukrainian house-pop with a ridiculously simple and effective hook.
https://youtu.be/n3Go8ub9a1k
Anna Sedokova - Poka Milii (UKR, 3.6m): In a very similar vein. Sedokova hasn't recorded much of interest since leaving the Menudo-style conveyor belt of VIA Gra ten years ago but this was an excellent return to form.
https://youtu.be/QmSvEaiaxBM
Angela Hunte & Machel Montano - Party Done (T&T, 2.5m): Montano is horrendously over-rated and over-garlanded as a solo artist but Hunte kills this and Machel provides adequate support. Soca single of the year and one of the best Trini videos in recent memory.
https://youtu.be/eHr8zZfrU_Y
Nyusha - Gde Ti, Tam Ya (RUS, 19.3m): Tempting to argue that Anna Shurochkina is working a formula, given that this sounds almost exactly like half the songs on her last album, but it's a heck of a formula. Thumping electro-pop with vaguely Eastern trappings.
https://youtu.be/IwpDzJE4fc8
Dasha Charusha ft Skriptonit - Kosmos (RUS/KAZ, 0.2m): The original version of Kosmos is a slight but pretty ballad - Kazakh rapper Skriptonit transforms it into something much more powerful.
https://youtu.be/xKoSAgDrYsE
Igor Krid - Nevesta (RUS, 21.4m): Russia's answer to Justin Timberlake with an effortlessly charming song about getting hitched.
https://youtu.be/Jg3gwyoUrhE
DKMD - Sacrificio (CAN / ITA, 0.007m): On Cologne's Giallo Disco records and squarely in step with the aesthetic of the name. An upscale version of the Italo-horror-influenced witch house stuff knocking about.
https://youtu.be/udcujCjOebk
Delta Goodrem - Wings (AUS, 1.7m): Goodrem was always fairly good at emotive low-key piano pop but this is a huge, euphoric and much better than could ever have been expected. idk why it wasn't more of a hit.
https://youtu.be/z1A2Ow7sGo0
Loose Cannon - Sick Jab (GRD, 0.006m): Relentlessly intense, mildly terrifying Grenadan party music.
https://youtu.be/NGaQvOhrWwk
Tina Karol - Sdat'sya Ti Vsegda Uspeesh' (UKR, 1.2m): OTT power ballad that Karol manages against the odds to steer into something genuinely affecting.
https://youtu.be/kG46IzgdB0Y
Elena ft. Danny Mazo - Senor Loco (ROM / COL, 5.2m): The trend of Romanian pop stars pretending to be Spanish continues unabated and this was the year's stand-out. Getting the genuinely Colombian guy to stand around in the background shouting "dale! fuego! si! si!" for most of the song might be slightly problematic tho.
https://youtu.be/lQPCWp2A_Rk
Ira Levtiskaya - Vova Tantsuet (UKR, 0.3): An oddity among oddities. I haven't been able to find out much about Levitskaya other than that she appears to have been a model at some point and is married to a minor oligarch who is presumably bankrolling her pop career. The song is probably best described as Putin-baiting oompah-pop and Ira sells it well.
https://youtu.be/cdOdCDFa1GY
Gulsen - Bangir Bangir (TUR, 156.2m): Pulsing Turkish moombah-pop.
https://youtu.be/icZ-OlVSvb4
