Malik Taylor, the rapper known as Phife Dawg whose nimble, clever rhymes helped launch A Tribe Called Quest to both commercial and critical success, died Wednesday at the age of 45. Rolling Stone has confirmed the rapper's death, though an official statement has yet to be released. While the cause ...

Only big change I've noticed is that the poll results bar graph is very expanded now. It's a sudden change, but I'm sure something I'll get used to after a bit of time with it.

I also nominate Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman. I was surprised by how fresh it sounds compared to The Way or Break Free. It's actually really good, so I wouldn't dismiss it as a song from the second coming of Mariah Carey. Always a pleasure to second a truly great pop song. My weekly reminder to ...

Ouch, the colors and stuff didn't update as I hoped they would. I'll look into this when I have time. Regardless, it looks so pretty! :laughing-rollingyellow: I'm sure whatever it ends up as will end up looking delightful, Henrik. P.S. on the topic of Forum updates, always down for more options and...

Hey Setherex, I'm hoping that an outtake that might be almost 40 years old, but never released until now, might qualify for a nomination. If so: Bruce Springsteen - 'Meet Me In The City'. Perfectly fine on my end. We go by release dates in these parts. ;) And just confirming for OtisRedding, DIIV's...

Setherex, where are you from? I used to think that you are from the US. I am indeed, California-born and raised. Residing over in Los Angeles now. Not much of a 'thriving music scene' here -trending L.A. music is just trending music in America currently. But I like to stay on top of worldly things....

Here in this forum we love our polls, to vote between songs, so if all great artists wanted to represent their countries, then the Eurovision Song Contest would be amazing, right? It's too bad that's not the case. But it's sad that a lot of people think that an ESC song is bad by default. I used to...

Eurovision Song Contest time again! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFIVX1s DIIV - Dopamine Also, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, I think this song has already been entered on our Chart? It would have been sometime in 2015. But I can't exactly remember. I'll give you a definitive answer whe...

Welcome to Week 11 of the AMF Chart! The chart where a changing of the rules has, maybe, possibly, stirred up the charts a bit? Here are your rankings for Week 10 (number of weeks on the chart so far in parentheses): 1. PJ Harvey - "The Wheel" (7) 2. David Bowie - "Lazarus" (9) 3...

Sorry if it's an obvious question Johnny, but could you link me to a stream of the full song? I can't seem to find it anywhere, and the album does not seem to have leaked yet.

Sir George Martin, the iconic producer best known for his work with the Beatles, has died. Ringo Starr confirmed the news on Twitter. He was 90. Martin, often called "the Fifth Beatle," gave the Beatles their first recording contract and produced virtually all of their music (aside from t...

I would like to nominate these songs ("highlights" in Mega Critic Chart 2016) Tindersticks - We Are Dreamers! Apologies Otis - this song appears to have already entered the Chart a couple weeks back. But of course, if the song receives at least two seconding nominations, it may re-enter n...

Setherex, did you forget my nomination ???? :( :( Of course not, spiritualized! It's just that nominations during MegaCritic weeks are a bit hectic. Last week, the songs selected went in the order of: - Songs that received seconding nominations (of which there were 6). - The first 'highlight' songs...

And Lana Del Rey's Honeymoon, I believe, got four votes. Last time I checked at least.

Nope, a big goose egg for "Honeymoon" back in mid-2015. Great song too, though not the most surprising entry on that 0 votes list for me.

In enacting the new 10 votes per user rule for this week, I must acknowledge that this wasn't necessarily an agreed-upon change by everyone, and some others in fact even had more suggestions to give towards improving the chart (such as Otis and luney). I just wanted to be clear that you are all not ...

Hey, I don't want to argue anything more than what I say. Nothing is important here, it's music and only music. I just answer to Setherex who say it's a "widespread cultural event" , with my own words, and I'm sorry if they were bad, "no, not particulary". I have not seen any in...

Coming to the defense of Kanye. Kanye doesn't do things the way you/we want him too. He released the album and it turned out to be good so get off Ye.

So is this an official album or a mixtape? It's for sale on iTunes, so it's not a mixtape. Two of the eight songs are songs he previously performed on both "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" and "The Colbert Report." Whether it's an album or an EP I think is up to your own def...

I think Henriks original question is very relevant tho - do people feel the need to vote for the same songs week in week out ? And if so, is this because of a lack of time / willingness ?

Sorry to bring up the rules again... But I wonder if lots of people vote for basically the same 5 songs week after week? Many new songs are lucky to get any votes beyond the one who nominated it.

Is there a rule that to include only x songs from MegaCritic each week? In that case it would make sense, but I have forgotten about such a rule.
