Kinda sad, Little Simz, Dawn Richard, Sampa the Great and Jenny Hval did not place (though Jenny was close). Billie Eilish and Purple Mountains had one too many songs place imho, despite releasing good records.

8/25 placed, including all my top 4. I ended up voting for stuff I’d already heard before the noms period as adding in new discoveries would have made the winnowing process even harder. Erika de Casier is the one I would have ranked highly had I heard it in time.

Yet another year where I'm the only voter for my #1. I kinda thought it had a shot, but I guess I feel like that every year unless it's a Danish hit I'm voting for. Also a bit sad we didn't manage to get Inhliziyo Yami Ithi Hey on there, I felt that was the closest to an Akrakabo I heard this year. And honestly it's not really that close, but still. Great song.

Alright, I found mine. Bold DNP. The good news is turns out I only voted for 3 Purple Mountains songs. The bad news is... well. Also, "Misbehavin'" was my "Balloon" or something.

Discovered this on the Spotify playlist - some real "Inspector Norse" vibes. Got way deep on Blue Spring and ended up voting for that in the albums poll instead of "Sharks," even though I think it's probably the best song. Blue Spring felt special and of a piece, and I had way too many tracks to consider already.
