Post by Setherex »

Welcome to Week 50 of the AMF Chart! The chart where I go out to find the one with whom I've seen all hours' moons.

Here are your rankings for Week 49 (number of weeks on the chart so far in parentheses):
1. Grimes - "Kill V. Maim" (4)
2. Grimes - "Flesh Without Blood" (6)
3. David Bowie - "Blackstar" (3)
4. Julia Holter - "Silhouette" (10)
5. Grimes - "California" (4)
6. M.I.A. - "Borders" (2)

20. Arca - "Vanity" (1)
Total Votes: 102

Congratulations to Julia Holter's "Silhouette" for entering our Hall of Fame! An interest week it was in general, with no new songs entering the chart. These December charts are definitely some high quality stuff. Grimes also becomes, I believe, the first artist to top the chart with two songs at the same time. Just another record in the books for ol' Grimsey. Due to Holter's automatic retirement from the chart, the top 10 songs otherwise went through to this week.

2015 Chart-Toppers by Week (by vote count, not chart position; total weeks atop chart in parentheses):
1. Alvvays - "Archie, Marry Me" (2) / Kanye West feat. Paul McCartney - "Only One"
2. Alvvays - "Archie, Marry Me" (3)
3. Alvvays - "Archie, Marry Me" (4)
4. Alvvays - "Archie, Marry Me" (5) / Belle and Sebastian - "Nobody's Empire"
5. Alvvays - "Archie, Marry Me" (6)
6. Belle and Sebastian - "Nobody's Empire" (2)
7. Björk - "Black Lake"
8. Björk - "Black Lake" (2)
9. Belle and Sebastian - "Nobody's Empire" (3) / Björk - "Black Lake" (3)
10. Sufjan Stevens - "No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross"
11. Grimes - "REALiTi" (Demo)

Here is your 2015 AMF Chart playlist of all songs on the chart so far this year:


Thank you all for voting and nominating continuously every week! Please don't be afraid to supply us with nominations - all songs six months old and younger (or who have received promotion via album/video/single in the last six months) are accepted! And seconding nominations by others gives those songs a better chance at making the next poll!

As per usual, the next poll will be created as close to Sunday at 19:00 UTC as I can make it. Best of voting! :D

Note to everyone that December and January have a sudden lack of MegaCritic weeks, so there will be plenty of room for nominations in the coming weeks. Go crazy! :music-guitarred:

Also, apologies to bonnielaurel - Adna's "Silent Shouts" falls out of our six month timeline, as far as I can tell :(

Apologies Rdwdbob, the song has already appeared on the chart! Though, per a prior suggestion, songs that receive two "seconding" noms are allowed to repeat run on the chart if the voters so choose.

Thanks Setherex! I guess we'll wait and see if anyone finds it worthy enough. :D

I'll second Deerhunter - "Snakeskin" !!!!! I hope you can get that third person! I never expected them to come out with such a direct record, it really caught my ear with the first guitar licks.
