Tons on yours I've never heard of (I suspect some write-ins haha), so looking forward to listening.

― tangenttangent

I feel like I was pretty pop-heavy this year so there might be a bunch of stuff you're not into, but there are definitely some tracks I could see you loving. And haha yes, a few write-ins (including my number one which is actually from a computer game but I realised that it was 100% my favourite song out last year so I just went with it). I take it you were the Scary Jokes nominator? I hadn't heard them before the campaigning but quite liked it, will investigate them further.

Here's my weighted ballot... Only one of them placed, it's bolded.

Octo Octa - Loops for Healing
Chaka Khan - Hello Happiness
Ludwig Goransson - The Mandalorian

I think this year I was less hivemindey than ever before.

Varg2TM - Thirst (Dressed In Nothing But UV Paint And Biodegradable Glitter)

This was the best I've ever responded to hearing techno in the nominations playlist and I tried to add the album to my albums ballot, but it wasn't nominated! Still, thanks for the heads up whoever nommed it (probably you SV)

Kinda surprised Park Hye-Jin didn't place at all, it felt like there was some hype here about the EP and that track in particular. She was definitely my top new artist of 2019, especially after having seen her live last spring. Such great vibes!

i liked that ep by park but thought it was 2018
did she do some new tunes

omg is zchyrs like the third member of our household or something

xpost to emil.y - pop is okay! I just tend not to be exposed to much of it unless it is directly shown to me or it (alas) breaks into rym's collective consciousness. I will explore. And yes, I guess I'm sort of glad my favourite Scary Jokes track may hopefully end up on a lonely number 1 votes playlist so more people can hear it. They are pretty wonderful - the whole album is dreamy

i liked that ep by park but thought it was 2018
did she do some new tunes

The EP came out mid-December in 2018, so presumably most people didn't hear it until 2019 ("year of impact" rule). I only caught in January, feels more like a 2019 release

And neither the EP nor the track were nominated in the 2018 poll.

xps We just have similar taste in weirdo pop and heaviness, I guess

fair! wasnt meant to be picky just wondering

edit to my previous post: I was also the sole voter for the Zedd & Kehlani song.

Taylor at #31 on the artists list w/o a song even in the top 100 is interesting.

Octo Octa - Loops for Healing

I was genuinely suprised this didn't make it, but I guess OO suffered from vote splitting? "I Need You" is good and a tear-jerker, but it also feels kinda sonically emptier than this one.

oh well I screwed the bbcode up but whatever

it is stunning to me that there was a new album of (mostly) beyonce released this year that got no traction here

Zone Non Linear by The Juan Maclean is so good, I'm surprised it didn't get more votes

Beyonce's cover of 'Before I Let Go' is amazing.

13 of mine placed and Monotony is my top neighbour for about the eighth year in a row.

Brown Skinned Girl is amazing as well. But I'm not really surprised nothing got that much support. I don't think the Kendrick Black Panther soundtrack did that well either, and that's one of my favourite things he has ever done.

Nathan Micay - Feed The Planetary Sharks

― ymo sumac (NickB), Friday, January 31, 2020 1:17 AM (seven hours ago) bookmarkflaglink

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.

such a joyous track! heard it in a few mixes where it just came barrelling in with this huge stupid grin on its face

Burna Boy is the only person who can possibly make afrobeats happen in the US atm, I'm afraid.

not a chart geek, but I thought Davido had already had some success?

I honestly preferred the Davido-album, but it seems like Burna Boy had a lot more succes this year?

i might be alone in finding Davido just a bit uninspiring and not fun? can someone point me to a fun Davido track?

Define "fun", please!

You don't like Risky?

Sweet In The Middle is pretty fun:

But again... not sure what you mean by fun here - if you measure his music up against balloon... well.

well colour me wrong. a lot of the stuff i'd previously checked out was that smooth, sleepy side of afrobeats that doesn't really excite me much

i like Risky best out of those. guess I just like chunky, dancehall or hip hop inflected riddims when it comes to afrobeats

Burna Boy is the only person who can possibly make afrobeats happen in the US atm, I'm afraid.

People I'd like to see blow up in 2020: A-Star, Teni, Rema

Also, Tiwa Savage and Sho Madjozi need some long-overdue wider recognition

it is stunning to me that there was a new album of (mostly) beyonce released this year that got no traction here

That's mostly because the album was okay.

there were outstanding singles! just nothing commercially released as such except for the very shitty one.

oh yeah "Joanna" I actually heard in the wild (of Montreal, but still)

oh i know there were some hits. Burna is the only guy I can see breaking into the mainstream as a star though, you know, of the kind that other artists pay to have on their projects.
I'd LOVE to see Rema blowing up, obviously.

Belatedly, my ballot, bold placed:

Erika de Casier - Intimate (Club Mix)
Blick Bassy - Ngwa
Busy Signal - Balloon
Octo Octa - I Need You
Fireboy DML - Jealous
Roisin Murphy - Incapable
Ciara - Thinkin Bout You
Black Coffee ft. Msaki - Wish You Were Here (Guy Mantzur Remix)
Donato Dozzy & Anna Caragnano - Parola (Rework)
Sir Babygirl - Haunted House
Underworld & The Necks - Appleshine Continuum
Roy Kinsey - Fetish
Amaarae - Like It
Sun-El Musician & Ami Faku - Into Ingawe
Billie Eilish - Everything I Wanted
Tresor ft. Msaki - Sondela
Bawrut - Shooreee
Emily King - Teach You
Brandt Brauer Frick - Rest (Pearson Sound Remix)

Zero12finest ft. ThaMagnificent2 - Baby Are You Coming?
Channel Tres - Brilliant N***a
Beyoncé - Before I Let Go
Zventa Sventana ft. Ivan Dorn - Muzha Doma Netu
HAIM - Now I'm In It

but your #1 did place, tim! the other track i share with you is the brandt brauer frick. what a great multi-dimensional track.

I'm interested in the Erika de Casier tune. it's not that I don't like it but I need some context perhaps?

Tim F voting 'Before I Let Go' - mate

Sorry yeah Erika should be bold

but what's the deal with it? I know nothing about her. sounds like dnb of the sort I'd hear 20 years ago but with a house gloss.. other than that?

the erika de casier album is one of the best r&b albums of the year, it's very 90s r&b in sound but with deep house textures mixed in too.

this is the original "intimate", the club remix is a bonus track on the album, made by one of the album's main producers. there's nothing else like it on the album unfortunately so it's just this wonderfully singular perfect blend of d&b & r&b

yeah sadly there isn't any particular context for the club mix other than whatever context you invent for it in your head

the other thing she did that was like 'intimate club mix' was the club mix of 'drive' from a couple of years back, which is on a bit more of a ukg tip:

thanks ufo. okay that makes more sense

I suddenly thought "wait, I must have missed Michael Kiwanuka when I listed my highest-placing non-77 tracks" but no, it was far further down, having only received votes from me and (perhaps) whoever nominated it. Hope that means people were saving their points for the album.

387    Michael Kiwanuka - You Ain't The Problem     47   2    0

621    SAULT - Smile and Go                         26   1    0

i was the other voter for "you ain't the problem". as you i am quite surprised of its' poor performance.

Aha! The arrangements all across that LP were frequently hella groovy. Perhaps not in a very ILM way though.

I was surprised I was the only one who voted for Fury's Laughter as I didn't nominate it and it was fairly ubiquitous this year and did well in lots of the end of year lists xps

And thanks to all the poll runners/organisers

11 of my albums list has already been in the album list rollout and there's 20 left to go. I guess I'm going to have a high "hivemind". But what is blood sausage? And why are things done in 77s? Halp

I think "blood sausage" refers to voting for tracks that got votes in the ILM poll but not in any other EOY polls? Though I have no idea how that's calculated?

77 is an ILX arc number, it's the name of the invite-only secret board, which got its name from the ID number of said board (I guess it was the 77th sub-board created?).

we demand the formulas!

(This is all impressive and thank you)

77 isn't invite btw in case you were wondering, but it is locked for reasons of privacy so you do need mod approval in order to access it. and you get that by requesting it on the relevant thread

Yeah I nominated that but it fell off my ballot because in the end the laughing sample tips it over from earworm to slightly irritating

i also nearly voted for "fury's laughter"

work and personal life have been insane for me in the past year, so was kind of out of the loop - first time sending in an unweighted ballot, still haven't gotten through the whole 77.

Sharon Van Etten - Seventeen
Ariana Grande - Ghostin
sakanaction - 忘れられないの
Caroline Polachek - Door
Hatchie - Stay With Me
박혜진 Park Hye Jin - I Don't Care

Yu Su - Watermelon Woman
Robyn ‎– Baby Forgive Me (Young Marco Remix)
Roisin Murphy - Incapable

Kitten – Memphis
Lizzo - Truth Hurts
Marika Hackman - The One
Samthing Soweto - Akulaleki
Sun-El Musician & Ami Faku - Into Ingawe
Sunmi - 누아르 (Noir)
Dreamcatcher - Piri

of course ufo is my closest neighbour. :) thanks for doing this, poll runners!

So you were the other "I Don't Care" voter... I was surprised no one else voted for it, it feels exactly like the sort of stuff ILX dance music crew would love.

Great tune but my long list of great tunes exceeded my actual ballot by a factor of about five

xpost Yeah I thought it was well loved too but maybe people voted for the EP, which is great. Can't see it placing so high though.
