2. Young Money ft. Lloyd "BedRock" (1 wk)
3. Taio Cruz "Dynamite" (3 wk) or B.o.B. ft. Hayley Williams "Airplanes" (1 wk)
4. Taylor Swift "Today Was A Fairytale" (1 wk)

anyway, "Bad Romance" will take this poll w/ "Need You Now" coming in second

markers, Friday, 17 December 2010 08:50 (fifteen years ago)

voting "need you now", "bad romance" got its props in '09

lex diamonds (lex pretend), Friday, 17 December 2010 09:01 (fifteen years ago)

"need you now" is amazing but i'm gonna throw some love at "dynamite", which is also a classic

Oh, "US" number twos.

I was reading this list going "Really? It did that well over here?"

Mark G, Friday, 17 December 2010 09:46 (fifteen years ago)

Bad Romance obv

o tannenbaum, o judge (crüt), Friday, 17 December 2010 11:11 (fifteen years ago)

kinda want to vote for "Bad Romance" since it did well in US #2s of 2009 but there's only one other song here i can stand and i don't like "Need You Now" nearly as much

some dude, Friday, 17 December 2010 12:56 (fifteen years ago)

Bad Romance is probably objectively the best, but I went with Airplanes, which I mostly like because it reminds me of that Michelle Branch song.

Auto Mall Maniac (kkvgz), Friday, 17 December 2010 13:08 (fifteen years ago)

I love "Bad Romance" but the song that will bring back this year is "Dynamite."

Pete Scholtes, Friday, 17 December 2010 13:12 (fifteen years ago)

"Need You Now." I need it every damn time.

Gus Van Sotosyn (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 17 December 2010 13:33 (fifteen years ago)

"Bad Romance". Better than any of the #1s.

You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Friday, 17 December 2010 13:40 (fifteen years ago)

#2 is right

franz kaptcha (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 17 December 2010 13:48 (fifteen years ago)

bah, voted "Need You Now" because I saw the last poll first, which lacked "Bad Romance." This really shouldn't be a question.

Taylor Swift "Today Was A Fairytale" (1 wk)

assuming i'll be the only voter for this?

you know I love Taylor Swift, but that's such a slight song!

"replay" is a total jam

i'm also a big fan of the "replay"/"rude boy" mash up from the 'dj hero' commercial

"bad romance" over "need you now" and fuck the rest

k3vin k., Saturday, 18 December 2010 15:06 (fifteen years ago)

I've only heard Bedrock and I Need You Now. The only song I know by the overrated costumed wench is Pokerface and I want to keep it that way.

MintIce: pokerface is terrible but "Bad Romance" is actually great.

xp how can you call her "overrated" if you've only heard one song

anywho "bad romance" obv, though I do like "need you now"

oh i got it you're not counting ones that made it to #1

a nan, a bal, an anal ― (abanana), Sunday, 19 December 2010 16:32 (fifteen years ago)

yup that's right. i was hoping there would be more #2 singles near the end of the year but instead we had this really weird rapid-turnover phase where basically everyone got a turn at being #1.

in which rogermexico discovers that yes, there is a poll in which he would vote for "airplanes" after all...

"Today Was a Fairytale" is a slight song but the chorus sounds great on the radio I reckon.

gaga's in a realm of her own & will get plenty of votes (not to mention WIN) so i voted for tay

Voted Artists for Haiti to raise awareness no actually because these are all horrible.

i'm the only "replay" vote? come on, it's better than the 25 for haiti thing at least

i'm serious as cancer, when i peruse ilx new answers (chilli), Friday, 24 December 2010 00:24 (fifteen years ago)

replay is awesome -- would've been my third pick behind dynamite & need you now

J0rdan S., Friday, 24 December 2010 00:25 (fifteen years ago)

i assume the haiti votes were jokes

i wish i could assume the same thing about the "dynamite" votes. c'mon raise your standards, this is very very mediocre pop music

lex diamonds (lex pretend), Friday, 24 December 2010 00:28 (fifteen years ago)

i throw my standards in the air sometimes

J0rdan S., Friday, 24 December 2010 00:29 (fifteen years ago)

that's my favorite pure pop song of the year, the whole thing is just hooks

J0rdan S., Friday, 24 December 2010 00:30 (fifteen years ago)

the whole thing is unmemorable mush

lex diamonds (lex pretend), Friday, 24 December 2010 00:37 (fifteen years ago)

like you forget how it goes before it's even stopped playing. i dare say hearing anything that's not actually actively hateful so incessantly on the radio could make one come round to it, but it doesn't need to be recognised as great pop.

lex diamonds (lex pretend), Friday, 24 December 2010 00:38 (fifteen years ago)

and we are living in an era where the bar has been lowered such that anything that manages to be better than ke$ha seems like a relief of sorts

lex diamonds (lex pretend), Friday, 24 December 2010 00:38 (fifteen years ago)

i think that it conveys euphoria better than any super popular house biting huge pop song has in the past few years

J0rdan S., Friday, 24 December 2010 00:40 (fifteen years ago)

it was tough for me to pick "dynamite" over the ill blu remix of "good times" but i think the verses are better on "dynamite"

J0rdan S., Friday, 24 December 2010 00:40 (fifteen years ago)

it conveys maybe 1% of the euphoria of kelis's last album

lex diamonds (lex pretend), Friday, 24 December 2010 00:41 (fifteen years ago)

oh ok the only super popular track off that album was the shit one but the pop charts are a mess these days

lex diamonds (lex pretend), Friday, 24 December 2010 00:41 (fifteen years ago)

taio cruz is such a fucking nonentity

lex diamonds (lex pretend), Friday, 24 December 2010 00:42 (fifteen years ago)

yeah the kelis album got jobbed

J0rdan S., Friday, 24 December 2010 00:42 (fifteen years ago)

well yeah totally re taio cruz -- i think the verses on "dynamite" are great tho in their total direct simplicity -- it's great nursery rhyme style rap

J0rdan S., Friday, 24 December 2010 00:43 (fifteen years ago)

i just listened to it again and ughhh it's so bad, i fucking hate that rudimentary sub-bep x sub-guetta sound - it's just appalling, remedial shit

and i have managed to ALREADY forget how it goes again - five seconds after it ended and i'd be unable to sing a bar of it

lex diamonds (lex pretend), Friday, 24 December 2010 00:48 (fifteen years ago)

me + Tim (??) staying strong for T.Swift

i genuinely thought when i first joined that he was the admin (ilxor), Friday, 24 December 2010 05:30 (fifteen years ago)

anyway, "Bad Romance" will take this poll w/ "Need You Now" coming in second

i don't get you lex, that is the most immediately catchy song of this year

The Reverend, Friday, 24 December 2010 09:48 (fifteen years ago)

i was pretty much singing it for all the rest of the day after the first time i heard it

The Reverend, Friday, 24 December 2010 09:48 (fifteen years ago)

i'm sayin

J0rdan S., Friday, 24 December 2010 09:49 (fifteen years ago)

i have definitely forgotten how it goes overnight. words, melody, everything. in one ear and straight out the other.
