YES STATS ZONE: ILM 2014 Tracks Poll Thread of Ballots, Statistics and Meditation

two of mine made the 77 :s

a place called space really should have placed imo, that would have gotten a huge positive reaction

Juan Maclean the highest-placed artist on aggregate points that didn't place any track in the top 77

aberantkenosis - Mambo No. 5 (bike horn version)

Really wish I'd have listened to this before voting.

Busta Rhymes ft. Q-Tip, Kanye West & Lil Wayne - Thank You

looking at the list of voters and a) hardly anyone who voted in metal poll voted here which explains why no metal got in the 77. Babymetal by far the highest placed. If J3ff had voted it would have made it.

i very nearly voted for "Magic," if i thought anyone else was gonna i would've had your back :(

btw everyone should run out and listen to Lamb, Alcest, Gazelle Twin, Kate Boy, Kate Tempest and Basement Jaxx releases from last year immediately

Why is it do hard for people to follow the bolded tracks placed template?

Loving tpp's list. Mine would have been about 80% identical.

Xp, because adding bracket formatting on a tablet is a pain in the neck and everyone knows what placed?

for years, most people here have favored bolding things that didn't place in the poll, i.e. highlighting what was unique or unheralded from their list. doing it the other way around seems like a more recent development and frankly i don't even see the point in bothering in bolding the stuff that placed. and afaict there's no rule that it has to be done that way.

I'm surprised "Latch" has never placed before. 533rd in 2012, apparently.

shh dont tell the others

Might make a playlist of Saer jams and play it in the woods behind my house later. Although walking through the woods with headphones on just feels wrong and also a bit creepy.

I posted that from a skyscraper in a city on a phone and couldnt check the spreadsheet, I am back in my natural habitat now and have been able to check the documentation and it appears I guessed my votes incorrectly as some of those dont appear, how you keep track of these things I have no idea. I think my actual votes were

Affie Yusuf - Rinse & Dry
Hinode - State of Existence
Melchior - Sightings
Benjamin Brunn - Alster Mermaid

Although walking through the woods with headphones on just feels wrong and also a bit creepy.

Its a real problem for me as well, I like to hear a genial sound, but also if I dont take headphones, then there is the sound of the branches in the wind and the local cement factory in the distance, and who is to say which is better

many hi fives to Roz!

no idea what my 5th actually was... micawber?

yep

I was delighted that Serebro picked up five votes, Dasha Charusha 3 and that i wasn't the only voter for VIA Gra. I'll happily buy all my fellow voters a drink.

These were my solo votes:

Fatima Erkenova - On Ne Tantsuyet, A On Porkhaet (5): I know next to nothing about Erkenova. I think she might be from Dagestan. I occasionally spend evenings watching amazing Kavkaz wedding dance videos on YouTube and this was the soundtrack to one of the best compilations. I've tracked down a few more of her songs and they're all excellent - a similar combination of pop hooks and intricate folk instrumentation. This inspired my first trip to the Caucasus last year. http://youtu.be/BaWdT_XHJe8

Tove Styrke - Borderline (6): Styrke's debut is one of the great electro-pop records of the last ten years but she seems to have gone in a completely different direction with her new material. Even If I'm Loud It Doesn't Mean I'm Talking To You attracted more attention but Borderline's weird quasi-reggae pop was much more addictive. http://youtu.be/7zhwihAXMlI

Elliphant ft. MØ - One More (7): Elliphant's Swedish dancehall queen persona is endearingly silly but her records are usually disappointing and i wasn't really sold on MØ's slightly drab electro last year. In combination they're a marvel, though. http://youtu.be/Sx1mHSo7ug4

Swet Shop Boys - Benny Lava (12): Heems from Das Racist and Riz Ahmed from Four Lions, Nightcrawler, etc. Kind of corny but works brilliantly with the sample. The EP is very good. http://youtu.be/gLlYykSUXLk

Emma Marrone - La Mia Citta (14): Italy's Eurovision entry - glorious glam-pop. http://youtu.be/XIV50wTsodA

SBPCH - Nelzya Skazat Koroche (15): Hypnotic Russian art-pop. I think Battles might be a close reference point. Less than 1800 views on YouTube for some reason. http://youtu.be/HXXJ8WCFuho

Brooke Candy - Opulence (21): "it's Marant or Laurent / it's McQueen or Celine / got these bitches so jealous / i hope they look good in green"

Donatan & Cleo - My Słowianie (23) Voted by the British public as the best song at Eurovision, possibly not unconnected to the amount of cleavage on display in the performance, it's a fabulous kind of ethno-pop / dancehall hybrid. "To jest ta gorąca krew, to jest nasz słowiański zew!" http://youtu.be/rr1DSgjhRqE

Far East Mention Mannequins - Fuck Boyz Get Money (24): Deeply silly Japanese pop-rap. http://youtu.be/QNtuAvGvRo8

Lyapis Trubetskoi - Voiny Sveta (25): A Belarussian group but the soundtrack of the Ukrainian Maidan revolution. Undeniably stirring in a way very little trad Russian rock is. http://youtu.be/kKJ_7SbtF4M

I'd love to know who was the other person who gave 30 points to the Mirkka & Madrugada tune, I didn't expect anyone else to vote for Brazilian forró sung and rapped in Finnish about Diego Maradona. :)

just finally got around to reading this thread, but I voted for it (well, before I lost my password and had to get a new account!) I think maybe you posted it on the rolling albums + tracks thread? I don't recall exactly where I found it, but it was a great recommendation, love the oy-oy's (not sure if they are actually saying something at that point, or just vocalizing? I sure don't speak finnish).

voted pooley no. 1, sad that more afro-pop didn't make it, where were all of the Y-Tjukutja voters!

just want to thank lex pretend for nominating Mila J - Smoke, Drink, Break-Up. stumbled upon it in the nominations spotify playlist, and holy shit.

that beep dee track was my lex pretend synthesis of wonder moment, happens every 5 years or so they say

Late to the party but 'Treasure' by Young Thug is just one of the best tracks ever. Shame it missed the top tracks.

at least it was one of the joke #1s right
