Magazine/website/record store BEST OF 2011 end-of-year list pile-up

Haha wow there isn't a single good record in the Graun's top 10 so far.

yeah i was getting at how a) that's part of why it's obnoxious when he does it and b) that's why nobody else on ilx ever says it.

kmt = caribbean diasporic slang that has become part of the lingua franca of british urban youth. i dunno, do your own research. tons of people i know use it

dunno if british is right lex. Seems like its a part of london only, certainly not used across the whole of the UK

I've only ever seen two people do it in real life: An enormous Jamaican dude outside a pub who insisted on telling me about how he once produced the Clash, and a skinny junkie kid who I think was looking to steal my wallet...

i've seen plenty of people from manchester and birmingham use it

It's a bit like when Prince Harry says 'BRAP!'

I would not have been mad at FACT if they had put Frank Ocean at #1

However, they put Tyler there instead, so hell yes I am mad at them

also everything I could find on Spotify has been added to the FACT playlist

i don't care about tyler's album but "yonkers" is a pretty undeniable "oh shit" banger of a track

don't care, fuck Tyler

Meanwhile, Billboard speaks:

http://www.billboard.com/#/charts-year-end/hot-100-songs?year=2011

1 "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele
2 "Party Rock Anthem" - Lmfao Featuring Lauren Bennett & Goonrock
3 "Firework" - Katy Perry
4 "E.T." - Katy Perry Featuring Kanye West
5 "Give Me Everything" - Pitbull Featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer
6 "Grenade" - Bruno Mars
7 "F**K You (Forget You)" - Cee Lo Green
8 "Super Bass" - Nicki Minaj
9 "Moves Like Jagger" - Maroon 5 Featuring Christina Aguilera
10 "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas

don't care, @fucktyler

"yonkers" beat is terrible, banger status denied

man i heard the "yonkers" beat as the bumper music on rap & r&b stations for months, get outta here

Yeah the "Yonkers" beat is fantastic, no matter what else you may think of Tyler.

i kind of think as a "banger" as something you can dance to, "yonkers" is too...dour

I thought "Pumped Up Kicks" would make the final Billboard list but otherwise expected.

yeah me too -- #13 not too far off though

i kind of think as a "banger" as something you can dance to

nope

Is "Firework" not a banger?

(I thangyew)

As long as you can nod your head to it...

someone post that informative youtube video about how white ppl can't kmt irl

that Billboard list is making me rethink my policy of letting my wife control the radio stations in the car; that is basically what we heard all year in the mornings

"Firework" honestly makes me think of the noise made when you pull the sides of a balloon's mouthpiece and slowly let the air out.

"Firework" is self-evidently the worst song on that list IMO

"firework" is a contender for worst song EVER imo

and "Super Bass" is self-evidently the best.

i would agree w/ both of these things except for the thing where "ET" is also on the list

I haven't heard Super Bass, but I bet I'd like it.

lol, I have much time for "ET" completely against my better judgment; I think I just like Katy Perry the most when she's being a stompy non-preachy monster

"super bass" was the song i had most in-the-wild moments to this year. rapping every word at so many house parties <3

Just the other day one of our students said, amazed, "You like 'Super Bass' and not Drake?"

I'd probably rank the Billboard songs like this:

1 "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele
2 "Party Rock Anthem" - Lmfao Featuring Lauren Bennett & Goonrock
6 "Grenade" - Bruno Mars
4 "E.T." - Katy Perry Featuring Kanye West
7 "F**K You (Forget You)" - Cee Lo Green
8 "Super Bass" - Nicki Minaj
9 "Moves Like Jagger" - Maroon 5 Featuring Christina Aguilera
5 "Give Me Everything" - Pitbull Featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer
10 "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
3 "Firework" - Katy Perry

If I ever hear Moves Like Jagger again I'm gonna fucking punch a wall

should be a poll imo

i like the chorus of that song a lot, don't really like xtina on it at all but what else is new

Someone at work keeps singing it at me because they know it winds me up.

xposts oh you cunt.

when i was in russia i heard "moves like jagger" like literally 5 times a day. i kind of...came round to it :(

basically exactly what miami did to me 12 months previously with "only girl in the world"

Thanks for breaking my browser.

just change the lyric to "louis jagger" in your head, might make it funnier.

it could be worse, if I had mod powers here I could have made them all autoplay

the only one of those songs that i know for sure i've heard is fuck you; i think maybe i've heard party rock anthem and firework also.

oh i've heard super bass too, nevermind.

A nation thanks god that you were exposed to kryptonite then.

Just the other day one of our students said, amazed, "You like 'Super Bass' and not Drake?"

Was the angle Drake-love or pop-hate?

really "Firework" is the only one I find unbearable; the one that gets consistently underrated is "Grenade"
