― tangenttangent

I feel like I was pretty pop-heavy this year so there might be a bunch of stuff you're not into, but there are definitely some tracks I could see you loving. And haha yes, a few write-ins (including my number one which is actually from a computer game but I realised that it was 100% my favourite song out last year so I just went with it). I take it you were the Scary Jokes nominator? I hadn't heard them before the campaigning but quite liked it, will investigate them further.

Here's my weighted ballot... Only one of them placed, it's bolded.

박혜진 Park Hye Jin - I Don't Care

Donato Dozzy & Anna Caragnano - Parola (Rework)
Acid Arab ft. Les Filles de Illeghad - Soulan
Octo Octa - Loops for Healing
Chaka Khan - Hello Happiness
Ludwig Goransson - The Mandalorian

I think this year I was less hivemindey than ever before.

Varg2TM - Thirst (Dressed In Nothing But UV Paint And Biodegradable Glitter)

This was the best I've ever responded to hearing techno in the nominations playlist and I tried to add the album to my albums ballot, but it wasn't nominated! Still, thanks for the heads up whoever nommed it (probably you SV)

Kinda surprised Park Hye-Jin didn't place at all, it felt like there was some hype here about the EP and that track in particular. She was definitely my top new artist of 2019, especially after having seen her live last spring. Such great vibes!

i liked that ep by park but thought it was 2018
did she do some new tunes

omg is zchyrs like the third member of our household or something

xpost to emil.y - pop is okay! I just tend not to be exposed to much of it unless it is directly shown to me or it (alas) breaks into rym's collective consciousness. I will explore. And yes, I guess I'm sort of glad my favourite Scary Jokes track may hopefully end up on a lonely number 1 votes playlist so more people can hear it. They are pretty wonderful - the whole album is dreamy

i liked that ep by park but thought it was 2018
did she do some new tunes

The EP came out mid-December in 2018, so presumably most people didn't hear it until 2019 ("year of impact" rule). I only caught in January, feels more like a 2019 release

And neither the EP nor the track were nominated in the 2018 poll.

xps We just have similar taste in weirdo pop and heaviness, I guess

fair! wasnt meant to be picky just wondering

edit to my previous post: I was also the sole voter for the Zedd & Kehlani song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10dX9HCijuw

Taylor at #31 on the artists list w/o a song even in the top 100 is interesting.

Octo Octa - Loops for Healing

I was genuinely suprised this didn't make it, but I guess OO suffered from vote splitting? "I Need You" is good and a tear-jerker, but it also feels kinda sonically emptier than this one.

well that formatting is terrible

Only 5 of mine made the 77. Less hivemindy than last year IIRC, but I apparently still had plenty of company with most of the rest of my selections, the highest ranking being...

I decided to try ranking the results based on limiting it to 2 entries per artist where the score of their top 2 songs got an additional "artist enthusiasm modifier", which is basically the combined scores of their remaining tracks split evenly between the top two tracks. It's not super scientific, I could imagine weighting the modifier distribution based on the base scores of the tracks.

if the formatting is a little hard to read, the first number is the modified rank, the second number is the actual rank

Madonna - God Control

this is a hardcore no. 1 ufo

I made a big mistake in my ballot. My #2 should have been "Seventeen" but I somehow made a copy paste error. If I had voted as intended "Seventeen" would have had 372 points and would have been #12 instead of #23!

If I had voted as intended "Seventeen" would have had 372 points and would have been #12 instead of #23!

everyone would've been much angrier so maybe for the best

Based on my modifiers Underworld "Custard Speedtalk" would get the biggest boost in the top 77.

Mixed ballot 5/25 songs

Jenny Hval, Toc Tien and CZ Wang might have made it into the top 77 if I had went with an unweighted ballot and the tracks that did made it from the weighted part would’ve made it either way albeit a few places lower... so I’ll have to seriously consider an unweighted ballot next year.

XXP: I hadn't knowingly heard "God Control" before you mentioned it in the campaigning thread. Remarkable. Also surprised that it was apparently pretty easy to have avoided hearing such a Madonna song. The Man must have been suppressing it.

My weighted ballot was more or less - might be a few differences in placing or something here low down that I cut at the death

8/25 placed, including all my top 4. I ended up voting for stuff I’d already heard before the noms period as adding in new discoveries would have made the winnowing process even harder. Erika de Casier is the one I would have ranked highly had I heard it in time.

20. Big Thief - UFOF

Yet another year where I'm the only voter for my #1. I kinda thought it had a shot, but I guess I feel like that every year unless it's a Danish hit I'm voting for. Also a bit sad we didn't manage to get Inhliziyo Yami Ithi Hey on there, I felt that was the closest to an Akrakabo I heard this year. And honestly it's not really that close, but still. Great song.

I just voted for "Old Town Road" and "Thinkin' Bout You", those were the only songs I heard out this year where I was like dang that is a jam & wanted to come home & replay it a bunch. and I don't vote for songs on albums that I'm gonna vote for.

I lost my actual ballot, but this is my own top 25 of the year (including some tunes that weren't nominated because I missed the noms thread)

1. Richard Dawson - Jogging
2. Aya Nakamura - Pookie
3. Beyoncé - Before I Let Go
4. Busy Signal - Balloon
5. Rema - Dumebi

Loving Twelves' list. I love that Equiknoxx track.

Ah cool, fred, so you were the other Shado M voter! I love that song to bits.

...and yeah, great ballot, Twelves!

🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🥇

That emoji is responsible for at least 15% of the song's success.

Thanks DL and breastcrawl!

Pretty sure each of you would have turned me on to some of my picks (DL- Equiknoxx, breastcrawl - all of the afro stuff) so cheers. Curious if you've heard the Swae Lee as it's a Tekno/DJ Mustard co-production and definitely further evidence of afro crossing over.

Alright, I found mine. Bold DNP. The good news is turns out I only voted for 3 Purple Mountains songs. The bad news is... well. Also, "Misbehavin'" was my "Balloon" or something.

Big Thief - Not
Purple Mountains - Snow Is Falling in Manhattan
Richard Dawson – Jogging
Weyes Blood - Wild Time
Weyes Blood – Andromeda
Sharon Van Etten – Seventeen
Big Thief - UFOF
Purple Mountains - Darkness and Cold
Jenny Hval - High Alice

Jon Hopkins & Kelly Lee Owens - Luminous Spaces
Clipping - Blood of the Fang
Holly Herndon – Frontier
Burial - Old Tape
Jenny Hval - Ashes to Ashes
Weyes Blood - Everyday
SAULT - Up All Night
Aimee-Leigh & Baby Billy - Misbehavin'
Angel Olsen - All Mirrors
(Sandy) Alex G – Gretel
Purple Mountains - Margaritas at the Mall
Big Thief – Jenni
Dawn Richard - Dreams and Converse
Fontaines DC - Too Real

Curious if you've heard the Swae Lee as it's a Tekno/DJ Mustard co-production and definitely further evidence of afro crossing over.

Twelves - yeah I thought the Swae Lee track was interesting. US afrobeats is a subgenre now I guess?

See also the Goldlink track in my list, 'Zulu Screams'

and Lion King ofc. And all the Burna Boy collabs.

Burna Boy is the only person who can possibly make afrobeats happen in the US atm, I'm afraid.

Even Rodigan is on record as saying that afrobeats is the successor to dancehall, but that's in the UK obvs

I really really wish we'd gotten "Blood of the Fang" in the mix. If I'd weighted my ballot it would have been very high.

bold placed:

The Juan Maclean - Zone Non Linear
Weyes Blood - Movies

100 gecs - money machine

Battles ft. Shabazz Palaces - IZM
Paula Temple - Joshua and Goliath (Techno Version)

oh well I screwed the bbcode up but whatever

it is stunning to me that there was a new album of (mostly) beyonce released this year that got no traction here

Zone Non Linear by The Juan Maclean is so good, I'm surprised it didn't get more votes

Beyonce's cover of 'Before I Let Go' is amazing.

My weighted list

Charli XCX & Christine and the Queens - Gone

Jenny Hval - High Alice
JETS ft. Tkay Maidza - Real Truth

13 of mine placed and Monotony is my top neighbour for about the eighth year in a row.

Brown Skinned Girl is amazing as well. But I'm not really surprised nothing got that much support. I don't think the Kendrick Black Panther soundtrack did that well either, and that's one of my favourite things he has ever done.

Nathan Micay - Feed The Planetary Sharks

― ymo sumac (NickB), Friday, January 31, 2020 1:17 AM (seven hours ago) bookmarkflaglink

Discovered this on the Spotify playlist - some real "Inspector Norse" vibes. Got way deep on Blue Spring and ended up voting for that in the albums poll instead of "Sharks," even though I think it's probably the best song. Blue Spring felt special and of a piece, and I had way too many tracks to consider already.

such a joyous track! heard it in a few mixes where it just came barrelling in with this huge stupid grin on its face

Burna Boy is the only person who can possibly make afrobeats happen in the US atm, I'm afraid.

― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Friday, January 31, 2020 8:57 AM (one hour ago)

not a chart geek, but I thought Davido had already had some success?

I honestly preferred the Davido-album, but it seems like Burna Boy had a lot more succes this year?

i might be alone in finding Davido just a bit uninspiring and not fun? can someone point me to a fun Davido track?

Define "fun", please!

You don't like Risky?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9H3iinXZv0

Banana fall on you!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Iyuym-Gci0

Sweet In The Middle is pretty fun:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVte8a_2q80

But again... not sure what you mean by fun here - if you measure his music up against balloon... well.

well colour me wrong. a lot of the stuff i'd previously checked out was that smooth, sleepy side of afrobeats that doesn't really excite me much

i like Risky best out of those. guess I just like chunky, dancehall or hip hop inflected riddims when it comes to afrobeats

Burna Boy is the only person who can possibly make afrobeats happen in the US atm, I'm afraid.

not a chart geek, but I thought Davido had already had some success?

People I'd like to see blow up in 2020: A-Star, Teni, Rema

Also, Tiwa Savage and Sho Madjozi need some long-overdue wider recognition

it is stunning to me that there was a new album of (mostly) beyonce released this year that got no traction here

That's mostly because the album was okay.

there were outstanding singles! just nothing commercially released as such except for the very shitty one.

oh yeah "Joanna" I actually heard in the wild (of Montreal, but still)

oh i know there were some hits. Burna is the only guy I can see breaking into the mainstream as a star though, you know, of the kind that other artists pay to have on their projects.
I'd LOVE to see Rema blowing up, obviously.

Belatedly, my ballot, bold placed:

HAIM - Now I'm In It

but your #1 did place, tim! the other track i share with you is the brandt brauer frick. what a great multi-dimensional track.

I'm interested in the Erika de Casier tune. it's not that I don't like it but I need some context perhaps?

Tim F voting 'Before I Let Go' - mate

Sorry yeah Erika should be bold

but what's the deal with it? I know nothing about her. sounds like dnb of the sort I'd hear 20 years ago but with a house gloss.. other than that?

the erika de casier album is one of the best r&b albums of the year, it's very 90s r&b in sound but with deep house textures mixed in too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDM73CL8zXs

this is the original "intimate", the club remix is a bonus track on the album, made by one of the album's main producers. there's nothing else like it on the album unfortunately so it's just this wonderfully singular perfect blend of d&b & r&b

yeah sadly there isn't any particular context for the club mix other than whatever context you invent for it in your head

the other thing she did that was like 'intimate club mix' was the club mix of 'drive' from a couple of years back, which is on a bit more of a ukg tip:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7gR6am2EKA

thanks ufo. okay that makes more sense

I suddenly thought "wait, I must have missed Michael Kiwanuka when I listed my highest-placing non-77 tracks" but no, it was far further down, having only received votes from me and (perhaps) whoever nominated it. Hope that means people were saving their points for the album.

387    Michael Kiwanuka - You Ain't The Problem     47   2    0

621    SAULT - Smile and Go                         26   1    0

i was the other voter for "you ain't the problem". as you i am quite surprised of its' poor performance.

Aha! The arrangements all across that LP were frequently hella groovy. Perhaps not in a very ILM way though.

I was surprised I was the only one who voted for Fury's Laughter as I didn't nominate it and it was fairly ubiquitous this year and did well in lots of the end of year lists xps

wasn't around for the rundown but a late thank you to the poll runners!

And thanks to all the poll runners/organisers

11 of my albums list has already been in the album list rollout and there's 20 left to go. I guess I'm going to have a high "hivemind". But what is blood sausage? And why are things done in 77s? Halp

I think "blood sausage" refers to voting for tracks that got votes in the ILM poll but not in any other EOY polls? Though I have no idea how that's calculated?

77 is an ILX arc number, it's the name of the invite-only secret board, which got its name from the ID number of said board (I guess it was the 77th sub-board created?).

we demand the formulas!

(This is all impressive and thank you)

77 isn't invite btw in case you were wondering, but it is locked for reasons of privacy so you do need mod approval in order to access it. and you get that by requesting it on the relevant thread

I was surprised I was the only one who voted for Fury's Laughter as I didn't nominate it and it was fairly ubiquitous this year and did well in lots of the end of year lists xps

― groovypanda, Sunday, 2 February 2020 20:13 (four days ago) bookmarkflaglink

Yeah I nominated that but it fell off my ballot because in the end the laughing sample tips it over from earworm to slightly irritating

i also nearly voted for "fury's laughter"

work and personal life have been insane for me in the past year, so was kind of out of the loop - first time sending in an unweighted ballot, still haven't gotten through the whole 77.

So you were the other "I Don't Care" voter... I was surprised no one else voted for it, it feels exactly like the sort of stuff ILX dance music crew would love.

Great tune but my long list of great tunes exceeded my actual ballot by a factor of about five

xpost Yeah I thought it was well loved too but maybe people voted for the EP, which is great. Can't see it placing so high though.
