there's literally no correlation between billboard and what dbag critics vote into pazz and jop

I'd probably go:
Album: Bon IverSingle: Super Bass
― Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 29 December 2011 19:56 (twelve years ago) link
I will figuratively cry fiery tears of rage when Bon Iver inevitably tops P&J. I'll even say that as a fan of his first album. The new on is so boring and the love for it all over the place is just.....do not want.

shakur/rest

I just can't wrap my head around the appeal, except maybe that last song that sounds like a Gayngs cast-off.

indie listeners who prefer vowels to consonants?

If this is in response to my previous post, I had looked up the chart performance of "Video Games" out of idle curiosity, after the Lex expressed surprise that it hadn't charted in the US. I agree that its failure to chart here has little bearing on whether it will get P&J votes, since she's become something of a darling among bloggers/critics anyway.
However, in general, I don't think it's fair to say that there's "literally no correlation" between Billboard and P&J. While a low-charting song can certainly do well on P&J, wide mainstream popularity obviously confers certain advantages.

yeah it's not the only factor but it is definitely a factor.

I hope "Pumped Up Kicks" voters watched this video before emailing their ballots.

being at z100's jingle ball for an arena-wide 'pumped up kicks' singalong was definitely one of 2011's most surreal personal pop moments
― maura, Thursday, 29 December 2011 20:21 (twelve years ago) link
i remembering pulling some alt-rock airplay stats once that basically showed Sublime's "Santeria" to be the most popular rock song of the '90s, and that was one of the first things i was reminded of when i heard "Pumped Up Kicks" and may be the reason i haven't been especially surprised by how successful it has become.
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Thursday, 29 December 2011 20:35 (twelve years ago) link
Yes. Those two songs will outlive us all.
― Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 29 December 2011 20:37 (twelve years ago) link
I was surprised though that the album is quite not-bad.
santeria played at my senior prom
so did get low, actually

that "actually" was in there cuz i confused this thread with the is singing get low racist thread

Basically why I can never identify w/the goon ethos.
― jaymc, Thursday, 29 December 2011 21:24 (twelve years ago) link
dudes i was kidding. i mean whiney wanted to revoke my goon status for laughing at the "party of five" grocery bag and six months later is repping for a drake album, i think everybody can handle some taunting about their love of canadian submarine rap. also i only have like 3 rap albums in my top 10 too, i think that's probably true of a lot of goon types.

all due respect to cats like deej or noz who have p&j ballots that are at least 90% rap like every year, not everyone can go that hard

obviously those aren't the only 2 people, there are a decent number of dedicated rap crits voting in the poll (even if not enough)

tbh this year i just listened to tons more rap than usual. i tend to try to balance a bit more w/ dance mixes & ish like that but besides Surkin (which i forgot to vote for anyway) I've been going pretty heavy on rap lately

i was gonna vote for riff raff's uncuct cocaine cypher freestyle #1 (which is prob my most listened to... thing of the year, or at least the only thing that was in my head for 2.5 straight months) but then i got cold feet and didn't want to sully the sanctity of p&j voting
