Is that make-up on her face in the clip or did they just did away with that and computerized it ?Oh sorry, the music. It's limp.

Is it normal for the #66 and the #15 to both have 8 votes?
― dorsalstop, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:02 (five years ago) link
Surprised to see Kero Kero Bonito so high. I find it funny/annoying that they're pretty similar to the sort of stuff I'd rep for and get no other votes for, but obv when ILX gets into stuff like this it's an act that doesn't actually move me that much.

Based on the rollout tracks I’ve been playing, Spotify is predicting the following top 6: “This Is America”“Love It If We Made It”“Wide Awake” (Parquet Courts)“Fast Slow Disco” (St Vincent)“Pynk”“Noid” (Yves Tumor)Who can beat the algorithms?

Ariana Grande - AG4 (2018 album)
http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=25434
I cried the first time I heard this, sobs so big and violent that I was glad I work from home so nobody could hear me. The Manchester attack shook me more than many other terrorist attacks, in part because I’ve always viewed pop music as a sacred space: when I’m listening to my favorite songs, nothing bad can ever happen to me, and I’m forever angry that thousands of people had that joy snatched away from them. I expected a sweeping, mournful ballad from Ariana as her comeback tune, and was delighted to get a dance number that stares hatred down in the face and refuses to give in. We’ve heard protest pop over the past year, but I can’t think of many, if any songs, this effervescent and fun and hopeful. I didn’t know mainstream pop could be this defiant, to be honest. It’s a brave and bold move, and I love it. – Alex Clifton
A disco song half-submerged in pop-radio melancholy, the sort from “Disturbia,” “Say It Right,” and — particularly on the verses — the brooding synth chords from “Don’t Play It Safe.” But only half-submerged; it’s never quite joyous, never totally moody and charged, though the resulting tension does tilt it toward that end. I guess the “loving living” (no “laughing”?) bit is this single’s “become who I really are.” - Katherine St Asaph

So happy to see Overtime in the top ten and a high placing for "Pienso...". Rooting for Itgehane as a surprise winner.

“No Tears” still sounds as great to me now as it did the night it premiered! Hasn’t lost anything with time.

And to think that just a few years ago I was complaining how lim was snubbing Ariana when ‘piano’, ‘baby i’ and ‘the way’ were all ignored, despite them being better than these 2
― danzig, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:16 (five years ago) link
I love No Tears Left To Cry, but for a while it was slightly tainted by how disappointing her album was.
Huge hooray for Jessie Ware making the top 10. I liked the Glassheart album plenty, but hearing her do a banger like this just felt so right. Apparently she's already got half the album done and it's going to be similar in spirit to this single. Can't wait!

Is this the part where the 1975 wins 1 and 2 and then the site goes down permanently?
― jmm, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:19 (five years ago) link
Yes this is the fourth double... might be a record:
Simmy, the 1975, Rosaliia and Ariana so far.
I don’t know stats from previous years but this year’s results have also been fronted by women led acts in almost 70%
Also the year with most LGBT winners?

This Is America has definitely been 78ed.
Forgot there was a Jessie Ware song at all this year tbh but overjoyed to see her make the Top 10 with what is clearly her best song in years.
