Okay, top 10 prediction:

1. Dancing On My Own
2. Runaway
3. Get Lucky
4. Midnight City
5. Video Games
6. Lazarus
7. Let It Happen
8. Pyramids
9. Blackstar
10. Oblivion

Nick

The top albums in terms of songs in our top 100 are...

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (5)
To Pimp a Butterfly (3)
The Suburbs (3)

...which, not coincidentally, is a pretty good bet for our top 3 albums in the albums poll (though Blackstar could certainly sneak in there somewhere).

Nick

...and this is the new, probably correct, yearly breakdown.

2010: 22
2011: 11
2012: 10
2013: 13
2014: 8
2015: 14
2016: 8
2017: 6
2018: 3
2019: 5

Okay then, I think the last one is "Ready to Start".

I think you're right, nice job.

Nick

Okay, I decided to cheat and look at the lists thread and I can confirm that both "Everyday" and "Fourth of July" will almost certainly not make the top 100. And that "The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness" will.

So that puts us back at 99 songs confirmed.

Nick

I've gone through and totaled the number of songs in our top 100 by year. Here we go: 2010: 21 2011: 11 2012: 10 2013: 13 2014: 8 2015: 15 2016: 8 2017: 5 2018: 3 2019: 6 Some interesting coincidences here (2013 has 13 songs, 2015 has 15 songs). But man, is this just anti-recency bias or did the 201...

Nick

Alright, I think we've got the top 100 figured out. I hope that all the songs I've listed are right.

Nick

Alright, I've got 95 figured out. Anyone want to clue me in on what I'm missing? EDIT: Thanks Sweepstakes Ron for figuring out 2 of the missing 5. 3 more to go... EDIT #2: Thanks Sweepstakes Ron and Future Critic for getting us to 99! 1 more... EDIT #3: Thanks Sweepstakes Ron for getting "Somebody T...

Five MBDTF songs made our top 100. FIVE!

Nick

This was a lot of fun to follow, thanks BleuPanda!

Melodrama already has 2 and will have (at least) 2 more, same for Channel orange.

Also, what's the other Melodrama song you expect to appear? We already have "Liability" and "Perfect Places" and "Green Light"'s placement is a given, but what's the other song?

Plastic Beach already has 4, so does The Age of Adz, but I guess that's it for both

Plastic Beach is definitely getting one more through "On Melancholy Hill".

Nick

What's amazing is that not a single song from MBDTF has shown up so far. Which means that we're about to get at least 5 songs off the album in the top 200. What five are you thinking of? I can think of four... (if you don’t want to post here for spoilers we can continue in the prediction thread) <-...

Anyway, here are some other songs you missed that could be in the top 100: The 1975- Love It If We Made It Adele- Someone Like You Alvvays- Archie, Marry Me Alvvays- In Undertow Anohni- Drone Bomb Me The Black Keys- Lonely Boy Caribou- Can't Do Without You Caribou- Odessa Cee Lo Green- Fuck You!

I'd think "Movies" and "Andromeda" would outrank Weyes Blood's "Everyday", as they did so in our 2019 poll.

Betting sites are giving him 33:1 to win the presidency, so they at least take him seriously. Trump wasn't taken seriously at first either. Edit: Or I guess on avg it's a little higher, like 60:1. I'm going to say there's about a 0% chance that Kanye can actually win. That's ridiculous to say. But ...

Nick

This is a completely terrible idea and I am ashamed of my country. Given a choice between Kanye and Trump I suppose I would choose Kanye, but I would choose Biden over Kanye any day of the week, and I am not some big Biden fan or anything. Anyway, Kanye is probably doing this to throw the election t...

Nick

Minor correction: "Super Bass" is actually from 2011. Fantastic rollout so far!

Nick

I'm happy to have helped "Trampoline" make an appearance! I was the second vote, putting it at 90 something on my top 100.

Here's some of my favorite "eras" of music: 1965 - 1973: The "classic rock" era. This is the height of psychedelic and progressive rock, and the era when the biggest classic rock acts, such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and The Who, released the bulk of their most acc...

Nick

I can't wait to see how the results play out! Thanks for doing this, Schüttelbirne.

Made this list pretty quickly, so a lot of the orders are way off further down the list, but here it is nonetheless:

2. The House That Heaven Built

This should read "Japandroids - The House That Heaven Built".

Ultimately I’d rank the decades like...

1. 70s
2. 60s
3. 00s
4. 90s
5. 80s
6. 10s
7. 50s

Nick

IMO it's the 60s. 70s is a bit deeper, but the 60s has more of my absolute favorites. I agree with your assessment of the decades (that the 70s is deeper while the 60s has higher highs), but I ultimately chose the 70s because the depth of the decade is more impressive to me than the highs of the 60...

Nick

A very tentative, halfway through the year, top ten: 1. The 1975- If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know) 2. Yves Tumor- Kerosene! 3. Dua Lipa- Break My Heart 4. Terrace Martin and Denzel Curry- Pig Feet 5. Yves Tumor- Gospel for a New Century 6. Charli XCX- Forever 7. Jessie Ware- Spotlight 8. Phoebe Bridg...

There are rumors now that Trump may resign rather than taking a beating in the election, attempting to martyr himself.

It would be interesting to see, but I think the man is such a huge narcissist that he has to continue, he can’t drop out and be seen as a “quitter”.

Nick

My take on this is one of dumbfounded resignation. My whole body and mind prays and hopes that he will be kicked out of office unceremoniously by the masses (although there are very fundamental questions on what will happen between the 3rd of November and 20th of January...) But there is a very rea...

Nick

Good, Trump's a fucking cancer on this world.

Halfway through the year and here's what I've got... Excellent Tier: 1. Yves Tumor- Heaven to a Tortured Mind 2. Fiona Apple- Fetch the Bolt Cutters Great Tier: 3. Run the Jewels- RTJ4 4. Dua Lipa- Future Nostalgia 5. Destroyer- Have We Met 6. Charli XCX- How I'm Feeling Now Very Good Tier: 7. Tame ...

A cursory scroll through these lists leads me to believe that Blackstar may be a favorite to win the whole albums poll.

Nick

My 21 favorite songs of the year, in alphabetical order... 1. A.A.L (Against All Logic) (featuring Lydia Lunch)- If You Can't Do It Good, Do It Hard 2. Bob Dylan- Murder Most Foul 3. Charli XCX- Forever 4. Destroyer- Cue Synthesizer 5. Dixie Chicks- Gaslighter 6. Dua Lipa- Break My Heart 7. Dua Lip...

1) Parasite
2) Moonlight
3) Social Network
4) Whiplash

This is my exact prediction too.

Nick

The differences in point distribution are always one of my favorite parts of these rollouts. It's pretty nuts to this series of large point gaps... 15. 598.094 14. 658.367 13. 709.016 12. 758.776 11. 822.585 followed immediately by this incredibly small series of gaps... 11. 822.585 10. 822.735 9. 8...

Nick

Here's my stab at a prediction:

1. Parasite
2. Moonlight
3. Boyhood
4. Mad Max: Fury Road
5. The Social Network
6. Toy Story 3
7. A Separation
8. Get Out
9. 12 Years a Slave
10. Whiplash

Nick

While I voted for it, I'm still surprised that The Wolf of Wall Street managed to rank so high. Great movie, but I thought its divisive nature would hurt it.

Anyway, great rollout so far, Holden! I noticed that you forgot to list the points in Inside Out though.

Nick

1. Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe
2. Pumped Up Kicks
3. Real Death
4. I Can't Give Everything Away
5. Hannah Hunt

1. Yonkers
2. Do I Wanna Know?
3. King Kunta
4. Hold On
5. You Want It Darker

Nick

I’m very excited to see how the top 50 plays out! Also, you should edit the year for Phantom Thread. It should be 2017.
