How do I request my ballot btw? I can't remember exactly what I voted for.

Popcaan suffered quite heavily from vote splitting by the looks of things, if everyone who'd voted for The System, Everything Nice and Waiting So Long had voted for the same track he'd probably have placed.
― Matt DC, Friday, 23 January 2015 10:45 (nine years ago) link
Nothing else on the album moved me half as much as The System.
My new year's listening resolution is to check out the Afrobeats thread more. It's fast becoming my favourite type of music.

Matt DC - at least you're not most likely to read the NME like I am, and which I'm extremely puzzled about.
― quinoa: how's it spelt? (dog latin), Friday, 23 January 2015 10:57 (nine years ago) link
Funny that people are describing the Vic Mensa as 'hip-hop'; this is a house tune to me. Haven't heard any of his other stuff though.

regardless of my fav tracks which didn't play, was super happy to see ninos du brasil, tkay maidza and holly herndon in the 77 :)

is there a way to find out what the most popular genres were?
― quinoa: how's it spelt? (dog latin), Friday, 23 January 2015 12:12 (nine years ago) link
Many thanks to everyone who voted for my nominated tracks (there was more of that this year than I expected from the top 77), even where I didn't vote for the track myself in the end LOL.
These were the only things on my ballot that nobody else voted for:
Todd Terje - Alfonso MuskedunderBrooks & O'Hagan - CalibairZhu - Faded (which I didn't nominate)Lil Boosie - No Juice (which i didn't nominate)

Colette also my nearest neighbour. But Spectrist's ballot above looks similar to mine; will check out the tracks on that I don't know.

i enjoyed brooks & o'hagan when they popped up on the nominations playlist- saved it for future listening.

Surprised to see I was the only one to vote for Neneh Cherry's "Everything"! Folks here seemed to have loved The Blank Project, and I thought that was the clear standout track on it. Still hoping the album will do well in the albums poll...
― Tuomas, Friday, 23 January 2015 12:48 (nine years ago) link
Also, I came across Good Girl by Nao by sheer chance when skimming through the nominations, thought it was a really good piece of housey pop, and gave it high points... And turns out not even the person who nominated it voted for it, just me. :)
― Tuomas, Friday, 23 January 2015 12:56 (nine years ago) link
I also liked 'Blank Project' but thought 'Cynical' was probably the standout track.

Ha! That was me. It was a late nomination, added to the ist probably 5 minutes after I'd heard it for the first time. Simply couldn't make room for it on my ballot, but if Nao releases more in 2015 I'll definitely be trying to hear it all.

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. :)

I was delighted that it won. It was very surprising as well, considering that it was released around the time of the previous years poll and never became a massive inescapable hit, I figured therefore that it would of faded from a lot of people's memory when compiling their ballot.

Thanks lex and rob.
Lex it was great to see someone else voting for Cam & China and Tamar Braxton. Although I was expecting 'Gettin to It' to have at least 2 votes.
Very pleased to see Rob voting for 'Restraining Order'. That's a great number one as well.

At first I felt bad for not submitting a ballot. I felt better when I saw it wouldn't have made any difference as none of my tracks would have made the 77. But then I saw all the cool stats and features and went back to feeling bad because I'll never know which publication I'm most likely to read.
