i'm so sorry everyone but i might have to go for ultralight beam

also it's been almost five years since it came out, can we all finally admit that Blonde is excellent
Nope
― an eco-conscious Music Box (DJP), Friday, 9 July 2021 12:17 (two years ago) link
voted "Somebody Else", would have considered also Formation or the ATCQ song.
weirdly I know very little of this list, which I would chalk up to 2016 being a terrible dumpster fire year which made me want to hide from the world.

oh fuck missed that YG song.

blonde is still excellent, nights is a highlight but about half of these songs are good to great and I didn't remember it as such an amazing year for music, did the critics just pick better this time

I thought I missed this last week but there just wasn't a new one posted. Anyways, I think I'm voting for "Shut Up Kiss Me."

Scratch that, "Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales" gets it.

Went for Cranes In The Sky. I still find it absolutely devastating.

“Needed Me” is quite literally an awesome song

“somebody else” I guess, uninspiring list

still find it hard to believe that Bowie and Prince died in about a month from each other. 2016 was going to be a bad year and it got so much worse come November.

voted for Nights

I really liked the video for Burn the Witch
― Dan S, Sunday, 11 July 2021 01:41 (two years ago) link
my fav song here is probably “true love waits,” but i really don’t think of that as a 2016 song

the way you know acclaimedmusic is broken is that, in the full list for this year, the avalanches' frankie sinatra is ranked one spot higher than rihanna's kiss it better
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Sunday, 11 July 2021 02:46 (two years ago) link
its lyrics are questionable but Black Beatles as a song and as a video is amazing

That whole Whitney album was excellent, though i prefer the other single "No Matter Where We Go" to the one listed here. What is that effect the vocalist often uses? Or does he naturally sing in octaves?

Blackstar and Lazarus are both much better songs than ICGEA.
Disagree.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Monday, 12 July 2021 00:05 (two years ago) link
this was the first time that the Spotify actually changed my mind on my initial pick. i was going to go with the 1975 breakthrough single "Somebody Else" but instead i'm voting for "You Want It Darker." that song just goes with 2016 and very surprised by my pick. i also think "Into You" probably went into that second slot with the 1975 dropping to number three.
― Bee OK, Monday, 12 July 2021 18:45 (two years ago) link
some great stuff here, voted for "on hold" because it's just so. . . nice.

"Work," "Starboy," "One Dance" and "Redbone" all getting zero votes is sort of shocking.
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 13 July 2021 00:33 (two years ago) link
the actual answer is beyoncé's 'all night'
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 13 July 2021 01:37 (two years ago) link
"One Dance" getting zero votes is only shocking because we can't do negative votes
― Karl Havoc (DJP), Tuesday, 13 July 2021 16:13 (two years ago) link
"Work," "Starboy," and “One Dance" were all among the runners-up to my vote for “Needed Me”. voted “One Dance” in the 25 all-time most streamed Spotify tracks poll. as I said there, nifty little banger, still holds up, and it’s got Wizkid. what’s not to like? (don’t say Drake)
