Now That's What I Call A Music Poll! Vol. 37 (US)

lotta things i like OK, nothing i really love: "Bottoms Up" vs. "Yeah 3X" vs. "Raise Your Glass" vs. "Just The Way You Are"

1. whip my hair
2. bottoms up
3. mine
4. no hands
5. like a g6
6. only girl (in the world)
666. the rest

Hey, due to the EOY poll I've heard at least three of these! (Ok, I've heard the Katy Perry and Rihanna IRL as well) I'm assuming none of the ones I don't know are better than Whip My Hair.

1. whip my hair
2. we r who we r
3. mine
4. bottoms up
5. no hands
6. only girl in the world
7. like a G6
8. raise your glass
9. yeah 3X
10. firework

the first two are classics, next three are somewhere close, the five after that are songs that i'll listen to on the radio w/ a flip to the other stations at 15 second intervals in hopes of catching something else

"No Hands" is close to classic? fuck outta here

alright maybe not

jeez i guess i'll vote for one of my least fav songs on the waka album. pop music: step yr pop game up

6. "Only Girl (In the World)" Rihanna 3:52
7. "Like a G6" Far East Movement featuring The Cataracs & Dev 3:36
10. "Stereo Love" Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina 3:05
11. "Whip My Hair" Willow 3:13
12. "No Hands" Waka Flocka Flame featuring Roscoe Dash & Wale 4:22
13. "Bottoms Up" Trey Songz featuring Nicki Minaj 3:59
14. "Please Don't Go" Mike Posner 3:15

I f/w these to varying extents (yeah, really ashamed about liking the Posner joint, but w/e). Voted for my mans.

Feel like "Stereo Love" is real underrated on this board.

what the hell is edward maya and vika jigulina

when my local top 40 station picked up on "No Hands" fairly recently they play this weird version of it where the beat's pretty much the same but the tempo of the drums is doubled to sound much more clubby on the verses and it actually makes me enjoy the song way more than i do otherwise

i've easily heard "no hands" on the radio more than any other song this year

what the hell is edward maya and vika jigulina

A top 20 hit.

Wale being on one of the 2 or 3 biggest rap songs of the past 6 months feels like some kind of clerical error

wait, what's the other one

i was thinking about making this a poll but, in retrospect, which is funnier: colby o donnis being on gaga's debut single, or gaga being on wale's debut single

Apparently, they are Romanian. I had assumed Latin American.

J0rdan, reread Al's post.

Gaga/Wale, definitely.

whoops

wait, what's the other one

other song arguably bigger than "No Hands" that i had in mind was "Black & Yellow"

or i guess i misread your misreading of my post haha

lol

what do folx have against Colby O'Donnis?

(also Willow ftw)

Nothing against Colby, he's just a really random dude to be on the first single of a major star.

yeah it's a quaint vestige of the brief period when Gaga was just this new person Akon was pushing on the pubilc

i wonder how much money akon made off her

oh I see

I liked this song a lot in '08; even voted for it in the EOY poll, but no one else seemed to give a shit...

i think Gaga has a lot of blood diamonds to answer for

"what you got" is not bad but colby o'donis is maybe the most interchangeable performer ever

1) whip my hair
2) stereo love
3) bottoms up
4) like a g6
5) only girl

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Who did Taylor Swift piss off to show up so late in the running order?

voting Ke$ha btw.

1. bottoms up (nicki minaj nearly ruins it but the mmts hook was the most fun thing to sing all year)
2. only girl in the world (in retrospect this is probably the best rihanna single out last year. some p egregious foghorn action in the bridge but the chorus is really stunning & the production is civilized & tasteful which is increasingly rare these days & sort of reminds me of cant get you out of my head)
3. no hands (symbolically or historically significant, the passing of the torch from futuristic swag to brick squad gun porn. kind of a miraculous moment of perfect synergy)
4. like a g6 (feel like surrendering to this song was the most nihilistic moment of my life as a fan of rap music)
5. whip your hair (this got old quick but placing it top 5 in reverence to the night i showed it to these two girls i was studying with a lot last semester and they just couldn't believe it & were laughing hysterically)
6. stereo love (i had assumed this was some quebecois hit bc of the melodica loop but good to know it isn't & other ppl get to enjoy it)
7. raise your glass (thought this shit sucked so much at first i think i actually laughed i was kind of disgusted w/ myself when it started to grow on me)
8. mine

pretty much like all of these a lot. some of the rest i haven't heard much or don't rec by name & can't be bothered to youtube. only heard yeah 3x for the first time on snl & i could see it becoming a jam

nicki minaj nearly ruins it

gtfo

yit deh fick oudda hayre

at this point in my life i pretty much h8 minaj

I feel sorry 4 u life. ;_;

nicki minaj nearly ruins it

she is the only good thing about that song!

so much garbage here ugh

i guess i mean 2010 output, theoretically speaking i would still bump beam me up scotty or can't stop won't stop freestyle

she is the only good thing about that song!

Not as rong as my mans flopson but still rong.

Who did Taylor Swift piss off to show up so late in the running order?

the entire first 7 tracks all hit #1, so a little old #3 hit like "Mine" has to sneak in the back

flopson obviously otm, lol at young money stanning

i'm not big on Nicki at all but i think "Bottoms Up" is pretty much her best verse and really livens up what would otherwise be a pretty bland song

1. like a g6
2. we r who we r
3. mine
4. hey baby (drop it to the floor)

nicki minaj MAKES "bottoms up"

started to doubt myself after everyone jumping on my nuts over my comment abt that garbage nm verse but i listened to it this morning & happy to report h8 is 100% intact. i wish she would just stick to her meaner evil flow more of the time, 95% of the jokes and switchups not only fall flat but kind of deflate the song. will admit that say hi to mary and joseph/now bottoms up and double my dosage is a cool way to end a verse though

How clever.

there's at least 5 stone cold classics on NOW 8

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

6 votes for "No Hands"? Waka stannery getting outta control around here

Waka sounds barely half awake on that song to the point where even fucking Whale makes more of an impression than him.

erm

wale's verse is awful on that. waka's is pretty good

blood want it flocka yeah
throw it fuck it i dont care
glasses flying everywhere
i tap my partna roscoe

i'm drunk as hell, can't you tell
