I won’t believe it until you’ve updated the playlist, forks

― omar little, Thursday, 31 January 2019 22:11 (five years ago) link
Damn, Black Dresses was in my top 10, but not high enough...
― tangenttangent, Thursday, 31 January 2019 22:12 (five years ago) link

Nice one, all you credible people!
― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Thursday, 31 January 2019 22:13 (five years ago) link
first time I haven't heard the #1
― Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn)
Might be the first time I've voted for the #1.
― emil.y, Thursday, 31 January 2019 22:13 (five years ago) link
didn't vote for "it makes you forget" but have no complaints about it winning, this is the best and most ILM top 2 in a while and makes up for the relative uneventfulness of a lot of the results
a bad showing for kpop but at least afropop had a decent showing
thanks for running the poll seandalai, forks, and moka, great work
― ufo, Thursday, 31 January 2019 22:14 (five years ago) link
The #1 will have a shelf life shorter than Susanne Sundfor. But it is also the best song in the top 10 imo
― een, Thursday, 31 January 2019 22:14 (five years ago) link
Also, aside from my #1, I did the thing of not voting for any tracks by the same artists as I voted for albums. It's not a rule for me, but the spread worked better for me this year. Black Dresses may have made it if I hadn't done this. I'm sorry.
― emil.y, Thursday, 31 January 2019 22:15 (five years ago) link
xp sundfør still very much on the shelf in my house
― monotony, Thursday, 31 January 2019 22:16 (five years ago) link
lol I just looked at my ballot and my only placement was my #25

Thanks, forks and Moka and seandadata - great work as ever

lol wut ILM is still in love with everything she does
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 31 January 2019 22:17 (five years ago) link
Sundfor would be on the shelf in my house if I could buy it at decent price to put on it.

Can definitely get behind that #1.
Hats off to the pollrunners, great work!

Never heard #1 and I dig it. Had heard the Beach House and Simmy before and love them. That's pretty much only ones I'd ever go out of my way to hear again.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 31 January 2019 22:19 (five years ago) link
Good #1 but probably the list I've participated in with the least amount of stuff in my zone.
― abcfsk, Thursday, 31 January 2019 22:21 (five years ago) link
And now a song that should have been top 10 or even a good deal betterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8HoEvDh70Y
I'll just post this one. My ballot was full of afro-pop. Askamaya, Bana, Gbona and Club Controller could have had decent chances.

I was so happy last year when moka agreed to help when I bounced from future poll running. VERY HAPPY as it turns out. Beautiful stuff.

What was it about the fake number one that made it a joke?

It was beloved everywhere else online 'cept round here

this poll has been kind of a de facto lurker poll for a couple years now I'm here for saer.

me too tbh

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
