Yeah, that's great, would have been very happy to see it in the actual rollout.

Ah, "Nobody" was my #2 and "Boo'd Up" made the bottom of my ballot (just below Greta Van Fleet). Good stuff.

Discovering Koffee's four 2018 singles has been one of the great ancillary effects of the poll rundown for me.
― Tim F, Thursday, 31 January 2019 23:25 (five years ago) link
Hahahahahahahaha called it.
Seriously though I expected Peggy to come in at like #13 or thereabouts but I love it when a song just quietly creeps up on people and this was THE ubiquitous jam of 2018 without ever really announcing itself as such. But I probably heard it in the wild more than any other song and it doesn't sound like anything else.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 31 January 2019 23:26 (five years ago) link
yeah just listening to the radio i heard it as often on radio 1 as i did on nts

JF: I like Empress Of! I've seen her live! I think of her as more of an indie artist than an alt-pop one though. If you meant I could've crossed her over to spanish language, sure.
vertical lines: I think of 1975 as "rock" though i'm not entirely sure what their fans want to call them or if it matters.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 1 February 2019 00:25 (five years ago) link
I was just going by the song itself. There's nothing rock and/or indie about it. Alt-pop for sure. It's been a good long time since she lived in shambhala land.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 1 February 2019 00:27 (five years ago) link
I guess i think that empress of track is more likely to show up on an indie rock radio show than on a pop playlist. it's slightly mopey. like maybe it's more r&B than it is pop OR indie?
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 1 February 2019 00:30 (five years ago) link
It doesn't really matter, I suppose. Except to the 80,000 people who are looking at the thread from parts unknown lol
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 1 February 2019 00:34 (five years ago) link
see, if i had migrated to reddit instead of ILX i would almost surely be getting paid for this by nowonly 1000 people read the poll but they all started their own playlists

Last month I realized I hadn't heard much bobbins in 2018, so I listened to the Resident Advisor top 50. My favorite discoveries from that list were "Neutron Dance," "Keflavik," and “Hold Me (T4T Embrace Mix)." Didn't end up voting for any of them in this poll, but I'm pleased to see that my taste still aligns with ILM's.

Having de-lurked after 5+ years to nom and vote this year (though not solely, I think I said something on the Nintendo Switch thread too), inevitably I've had a horribly busy week and only just caught up with results, let alone listening. Pleased that Ella Mai got as high as it did and the Eris/Octo tracks both placed - just been listening to that while staggering home in the snow and the curdled rave aesthetic lends itself to that very nicely. The Eris is a sort of ultra-limpid "Papua New Guinea" and thus nifty.
― Twelves, Friday, 1 February 2019 01:08 (five years ago) link
i'm sure "keflavik" is great but i have that thing where i can't remember a song because it has the same name as another song. i know i'm an asshole for saying "the definitive song named 'keflavik' will always be by richard pinhas from his 1980 album east/west", but y'all have probably glommed on to my being an asshole by now
please don't take it out on the richard pinhas song, which really is great

not that they needed another placement, but did "it's not living (if it's not with you)" miss out on the top 177 completely? really surprised "give yourself a try" had so much more support

The exact same thing just happened to me. I don't remember hearing this song at all. On second listen, I'm into it and I do love a good surprise winner. Ah, it just finished playing on YouTube and went into Inspector Norse. Nice!
Thanks to everyone who put this together. A great job as always and as I've mentioned before, these lists are the only thing I enjoy about January.

The fake number one was much better than the real number one i don't get the joke!.
The first Kacey Musgraves record was probably the best out of the 77, but the Natalie Prass, Donato Dozzy, Womp Womp and Octo Octa were all ok if not really anything I'd play.
I don't know if this is the best format to hear a lot of new records for the first time. The only record I'd heard before was Neuron Dance which I heard in a changing room in Birkenhead. It wasn't good then either
― saer, Friday, 1 February 2019 07:03 (five years ago) link
Saer: I love you and you’re surely a candidate for mvp but what’s the point of following a poll for music you have completely alienated yourself from? Contests are based on lowest common denominators anyways.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 1 February 2019 07:12 (five years ago) link
The whole rollout would have been like 25% less fun without those Saer posts and it's obvious he's enjoying himself.
Zeitgeisty stuff that feels like it got completely passed over in this poll - Soundcloud rap, UK drill and afroswing, dancehall, London hipster jazz, any kind of dance music that isn't house, techno or disco. I was delighted by that Top 10 but it felt like the most Pitchforky poll in a long time.
― Matt DC, Friday, 1 February 2019 07:56 (five years ago) link
Meanwhile I'm not convinced there's anyone who really needs even a single additional record featuring winsome female vocals over gauzy faded 80s synthpop.
