How about doing our own AFM songs of the year's poll? We could include like the top 20 songs to vote? or songs in the Hall of Fame? or even songs that were #1 in single week to vote. I've been thinking of that, actually, but I'm not sure if I'll go through with it considering how many big moves the...

Week 46 (December 21, 2014 - December 28, 2014)

Setherex

Welcome to Week 46 of the AMF Chart! The chart where, as the new year beckons, perhaps some highly debated rule changes are in order around these parts... Here are your rankings for Week 45 (number of weeks on the chart so far in parentheses): 1. Sharon Van Etten - "Your Love Is Killing Me"...

I'm actually of the opinion against the EOY rule changes at the moment. I do appreciate the experiment, and think it was worth testing, but after these last two weeks of vote, I have to say that I'm against doing it in the future. I agree with Andre - the AMF chart was one of my sources throughout t...

Troll Pitchfork: puts Beyonce on their song list twice, but not on their album list. Should have seen it coming...

Setherex

Taking a break from the constant error-checking and playlist-updating to say thank you again Henrik for such a wonderfully organized list ^_^ One question I wanted to bring up though, should Beyonce's "Flawless" be listed as the Nicki Minaj remix, or as the original version, or a coupling ...

Setherex

I assume this list is irrelevant for our purposes, but since it's Pitchfork, here is their list of "Honorable Mentions." This list is chosen by the editors. It's not #51 through #70 in our albums poll, but rather, records we thought were exceptional this year and deserved to be highlighted...

One amendment to the song list - Pitchfork lists Michael Jackson's "Love Never Felt So Good" as the "original version," not the regular album version, which I just learned isn't the "original." The original has practically no production added to it, only significantly a...

Listened to "Black Messiah" three times now. Still trying to process its amazingness, but it is definitely amazing. Otherwise, not too many thoughts that don't start with "wow."

Maybe just one: Pino Palladino is most definitely the grooviest bass player alive.

Thanks Nick! Agreed, nothing wrong with polls and lists. But I do also love the idea of us joining together for weekly forum listening sessions :music-listening: followed by the vicious spouting of our feelings, like a strangely diverse family gathering together for Christmas. I became far more hype...

Just a general note, I love talking with you guys on the forum. Though I don't post all that much, reading some of the analysis-heavy opinions on this board of albums, songs, and artists have been intriguing and thought-provoking. That being said, this forum is also unlike any forum I've been a part...

Please note that while the EOY song spreadsheet is being updated, the rules for nominations have changed to the following: 1. Songs from new albums on the Megacritic chart 2.

I nominate Swans - Screen Shot. Another May release, but it seems like we forgot it. It should have a good chance to advance if it is deemed eligible. I wonder if we should extend the eligibility window from 6 months to 1 year. I discover a lot of things through the EOY lists, and releases from the...

ILoveMakonnen's "Tuesday" is listed twice - at #76 and #265 I'm pretty sure the one simply titled "Tuesday" is actually the version with Drake while "Club Goin' Up On a Tuesday" is the original track. This is actually an interesting case. As far as I'm aware, the two l...

Also, she wasn't always mainstream pop. Early on she was country, which gets even less attention by major critics. It's only after fully embracing pop that she's getting the accolades now. Though your comment about embracing pop is right, she has definitely been within the realm of "mainstream...

Updated with the full list (phew). It appears that the lists that Nick has in the opening post are lists solely accumulated by "All Songs Considered," a radio show on NPR. The other two longer lists are by NPR's staff in general.

That's my understanding, anyway. I could be incorrect.

Setherex

It appears that NPR has gone a little crazy this year with the year-end stuff. They've posted (and created a shuffling playlist for) their unranked "302 favorite songs of the year." http://www.npr.org/2014/12/10/369652480/npr-musics-favorite-songs-of-2014 The 302 songs are divided in categ...

I'm not entirely sure what to do with the AMF EOY song chart entries and this chart... If anyone has a legitimate way to amend the rules to include them fairly, please let me know! Henrik included.

SOHN - "Artifice" is listed twice (once as "SOHN" on #261 and once as "S O H N" on #160).

A couple song names appear to have been accidentally mixed on the Line of Best Fit list.

1987 - "Michelle"
Alex G - "After Ur Gone"

are mixed together as 1987 - Michex G - "After Ur Gone" at #164 on the spreadsheet.

Awesome stuff Henrik! :) Thanks for doing the song list again this year. I almost appreciate it more than the album list. Songs are easier to digest, haha.
