Did I somehow forget to vote for my favourite album of 2019, Burna Boy's African Giant? Could you check it for me, Sean? Sorry about this - didn't save my ballot.

I voted for an album this time, and there were some other interesting looking ones (I always go straight to Various Artists for anything to do with albums) but I didn't get chance in time due to the weather
For the tracks I voted for 20. 20! I didn't think such a thing was possible, thats almost 1 in 2 and yet I look out at the garden and to me its still in danger of relegation

Some things I discovered late or forgot to nominate:
Kölsch - Fabric Presents KölschDengue Dengue Dengue! - Zenit & NadirLingua Ignota - CALIGULA
I mentioned the Kolsch record above, which was a shame because I assumed it was nominated. Didn't discover until I put together my final ballot it wasn't there. The Dengue Dengue Dengue is incredible and a late discovery. Had I heard it earlier I would have nommed it and placed it in my top 10. The Lingua Ignota is AOTY material for me... also a very late discovery. Yes it's more metal, and for the first time in a decade of being on here, I am submitting a metal ballot because of this album. It's that good.
Looking forward to the rollout. Sampa the Great and Little Simz were my Burna Boy and Big Thief I suppose.

if that's the same kölsch who did "all that matters" (and also, amazingly, "calabria"), i may have to give that a listen

I’ve seen the results and working on the graphics atm. Let me say: I don’t know if the main voters for this year changed or we had more or less voters than last year but the results are crazy. I’m willing to give 100 US dollars to anyone who guess the top 10 tracks. Hell, they’re so crazy I’m willing to give $1000 if anyone gets them right regardless of ranking.

I think this is the second time I’ve bothered to vote and the first I submitted a singles ballot, so blame me when everything gets weird?

This is first year afaik that I actually put more effort into my albums ballot than my tracks ballot (I didn't even go the full 25), mainly because I wasn't as dialed into individual songs that came and went in 2019, so I really have NO IDEA what the results will look like. I voted for Old Town Road, though, lol.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 26 January 2020 05:54 (four years ago) link
yeah I was trying to think of what might win tracks...my guess would be Old Town Road, Cellophane, Gone or...Don’t Start Now? But I don’t know if any of those really had overwhelming, galvanised support on here
― monotony, Sunday, 26 January 2020 06:02 (four years ago) link
Don't Start Now was my #2, but it had such a late release I'm not sure everyone listened to it 400 times like I did.

What are the numbers like this year? I was assuming they'd be down because of UK/US despair and hopelessness, but I don't know if that's at all true outside my own mind...
― emil.y, Sunday, 26 January 2020 06:12 (four years ago) link
glad to hear some unexpected things may have reached the top 10 -- that's usually the most predictable part!
Old Town Road, Cellophane, Gone or...Don’t Start Now?
i would like to think these are all too obvious to have done that well if the results are a bit unexpected. (i kinda hope so, anyway -- tho i did vote for two of them.)
i guess i suppose "don't start now" will do well. its appeal really seems to be quite broad here.
