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?

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 Muskedunder
Brooks & O'Hagan - Calibair
Zhu - 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.

tempted to start an "ask tay tay fan" thread

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...

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. :)

I also liked 'Blank Project' but thought 'Cynical' was probably the standout track.

do it xxxp

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.

Lil Boosie - No Juice (which i didn't nominate)

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. :)

All three "Lovin' Start" voters have now been identified. Thanks for not letting it hang out there all lonesome with just my one first place vote, guys.

I was expecting lovin start to show up on the poll, guess I overestimated how many fans she has here

What did Noodle Vague vote for?

yeah that's a nice list gregus

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.

Sorry sean can you post my ballot too? It was so slapped together I didn't really want it to see the light of day but the temptation has overtaken me again and I think I'd just be better off bringing out my list...

*the temptation to editorialize, that is...

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.

The Beano?

Well it's 100% funny

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.

It's definitely an outlier in his discography. Also his best song by far.

Yeah, I had no idea who Vic Mensa was, so when I heard that tune I was like, this is cool house track with some off-kilter vocals, was suprised to learn he's a rapper(?).

thx Sean! Six of those placed, ayo to my neighbor Gavin in Leeds, and probably my lowest Hivemeind score yet. And apparently I'm into chamber pop, though I only voted for (at a stretch) three tracks of it.

forgot to vote for "2 On" but I guess it didn't matter lol

Yeah, interesting that "ambient" turned out to be my top genre since 2014 might have been the year (out of the last 10) where I listened to the least ambient music.

I too would like to see NV's list, if NV approves.l

glad to see someone else rep that alpoko don/scarface track
"put you in a trash bag / cut up your body parts and send them shits to baghdad / call my little girl / tell em 'dad been a bad dad'"

Can't remember what I voted for (seandalai?), but pretty sure the stuff that placed was:

Tinashe - 2 On
Kiesza - Hideaway
Skepta - That's Not Me
Meridian Dan - German Whip
Dej Loaf - Try Me
FKA Twigs - Pendulum

Great rollout. Loved that the two big grime tunes of the year made it. 2 On is a deserving winner.
