Youtube nomination playlist was a complete joy - doubt anything from it will place, so maybe a nice adjunct to the main poll.

nothing made the 77 with less than five votesBUTtwo songs missed the 77 with eight votes. guesses welcome.

i threw new australian national anthem 'smoko' by the chats low on my ballot and i suppose a few others did. would love it to place but that is my guess for missing out with 8

I am 99% sure I know what the other metal placement is

forks, have you not started adding to the Spotify playlist yet or is it just not refreshed on my end?
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 28 January 2019 14:57 (five years ago) link
it's updated and currently includes our #73.

Gotta say i was weirdly nonplussed by the Hauff track; not getting much emotional resonance off it.

Today makes two months since I've last smoked a cigarette after smoking for 26 years, so I'm pretty over them now. That's a hot photo though.

The metal poll could also benefit from such visual professionalism (not throwing shade, just saying it would be awesome).

shocking admission - i have never knowingly listened to andrew wk before and now ilx is making me listen to andrew wk. that song is um, like if the darkness had grown up listening to kiss instead of queen?

72: Drake – “Nice for What” – 170 points – 5 votesvideo
Drake - Scorpion (June 29, 2018) ~it's a double album~thread for pics of Drake looking ridiculous
http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=25353
At this point, his personality is so firmly established that the little Drake offers here — lackluster rapping and familiar lyrics — is all we really need. He’s simply a peripheral but recognizable hypeman for the listener, offering supportive nice-guy-schtick in a way that can be comfortably ignored with an eye roll. If anything, the actual empowerment of women on “Nice for What” comes from how easily they can recognize his presence as superfluous. It turns out that Drake is at his most benevolent when he stands outside the frame, allowing the rest of the song to become a space for people to “hit them motherfucking angles.” – Joshua Minsoo Kim
Fucking Drake as master of ceremonies in party-starter mode, gliding (“roll on” and “slow song” should not rhyme so well) over an utterly unstoppable Murda Beatz-made gumbo with just the right touch of “Triggerman” and an airy flip of “Ex-Factor.” Unlike “Hotline Bling” and “One Dance” before it, “Nice for What” features its chameleonic creator straining only to let the influences he’s synthesizing shine in their own right. Drake has been making #1 songs like these for a long time but not all of them have let Big Freedia be an indomitable (if lamentably uncredited and unseen) force or been creative triumphs so profound that it’s worth putting aside cynicism. – Andy Hutchins

appropriately low for a drake song i've enjoyed
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Monday, 28 January 2019 15:19 (five years ago) link
I will never click harder on anything than I will when the "mute" option goes live on Spotify Desktop and I head to the Drake page
a lot better than average for a drake song but i didn't quite understand why this was acclaimed as it was elsewhere (very controversially i like "in my feelings" more), this placement feels about right
― ufo, Monday, 28 January 2019 15:20 (five years ago) link
can't wait till he finally gets cancelled for grooming underage women

I'm always surprised when Drake shows up in the EOY polls because I remember there's a bloc on ILM that actually doesn't think he's a clown?
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 28 January 2019 15:22 (five years ago) link
"comfortably ignored with an eye roll" is right
― Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 28 January 2019 15:22 (five years ago) link
Drake is not worse than "Nice for What" is well produced and that's as good a compliment as I can give it. That said, the old adage about mixing 10 gallons of ice cream and a half gallon of horseshit yielding 10 1/2 gallons of horseshit still applies.

he's the biggest pop star of the past decade & ILM is ostensibly receptive to popular music so that might have something to do with it
