The Thirty Most Consumed Songs of 2017

I'm amazed that songs like 'Mask Off' can be so popular in the States.

'Mask Off' is #13 in the equivalent list for UK Spotify. To give you some context that's two below 'Galway Girl' and four above the Harry Styles single. It's huge here.

coldplay + chainsmokers song is really good

i can't deal with it. the logic song hitting big is peak 'we are all depressed'

“Hey Ya” best resumed by its own lyrics:

Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance

It’s probably my favorite self-conscious lyrics of all time. It’s very meta as if Andre already knew it would be a huge hit and people would dance to it without paying attention to the bleak lyrics.

Wait hang on, where's 'Look What You Made Me Do' in this list?

xp to map: yeah, it shouldn't be overlooked that the title of one of the 25 most listened to songs of the year is the number for the Suicide Prevention Hotline!

"WHO CAN RELATE????"

I heard both "Bodak Yellow" and the Logic song for the first time last week - back to back. that was disorienting

are you fucking kidding me

this hit number 3

like

I was hoping that would be more like "867-5309".

the hook is, "i just want to die, i don't want to be alive"

my vote goes to "I Feel It Coming" b/c that's by far the one I've listened to on purpose the most

I know ILM hates the Weeknd but I like his music

i voted for call me maybe

Wait hang on, where's 'Look What You Made Me Do' in this list?

released too late to make it this year and likely too frontloaded to make it next year

i feel it coming, cemented as a classic when i finally heard the daft punk instrumental

I Feel It Coming is awesome but isn’t it a 2016 single?

I think Paris is also 2016

"i feel it coming" debuted late 2016, "paris" early 2017

Maroon 5 - What Lovers Do (feat. SZA)

"Redbone" isn't even the best song on that album but probably the one that wears out its welcome soonest.

I had to go with "Bad & Boujee" because I definitely listened to it the most. "Humble", "Goosebumps", "Bounce Back" and "Mask Off" were contenders. "Wild Thoughts" too just because of Rihanna.

I don''t know where you find this stuff but just looking at this is giving me anxiety about what horrors are in store for the EOY poll

now would be the time to suggest the SaerTube you'd like the crew to rally behind for that poll

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
