SOMB 2009 Singles of the Year - Voting Thread, Polls close December 19th Options

[Mitchell]

Surely if it's a mix of the same song then you can consider the original as a stand-alone digital release. I guess if you are looking to vote for the remixes themselves as well / instead of that doesn't help you out.

[Raj (Noble Con)]

Yeah, in most cases there's some sort of workaround, it's only a problem when you have a 12" with great remixes that goes above the time limit. Nothing that cripples the poll by any means, just something worth noting.

[Liffey]

Was Watching The Planets released as a single?

Some sites are calling it a single, but I don't believe there has been an official release. I'll probably include it and hope no one notices...

[Mitchell]

It has a video. That's the only evidence but it's good enough for this poll.

[Northern Voice]

List is nothing to be ashamed of. Forgot about that Major Lazer, need to put that on mine.

[the internet]

It only seems that this year has been a poor one for mainstream pop music because the last few years produced fucking gold. "A Milli," etc.

Also:

11. Jay Z - Empire State of Mind

[Liffey]

Hmm... I'm not sure, but I really hope I'm not the first one to have included Akron/Family - River...

[the internet]

HELLO SOMB

...



just kidding. what am i now, some kind of asshole. why aren't more people making posts, this thread should be hopping right about now

[Raj (Noble Con)]

absolutely terrible, terrible year for pop music (and good melodies). and fuck lady gaga (i may regret saying that some day in the near future).

The guy who has no Shakira, Electrik Red, or The-Dream on his list doth declare it a terrible year for pop music. Hm.

[the internet]

you think i pay attention to that hipster trash?

edit

for the record, i'm joking. i haven't paid attention to much modern music this year.

[Eskimo Kisses]

Interesting how a not especially singles driven genre looks like it might totally dominate the singles list.

[Duff.]

why aren't more people making posts, this thread should be hopping right about now

This poll always take slower to get going, at least partly because people haven't posted their singles lists 45 times throughout the year already.

Also, always a lot fewer people. Shame, it's always the superiour list.
