SOMB Top 100 Singles of 2005

Not a critic poll, but worth of not being included in the larger non-critic thread.

Countdown is ongoing today.

Re: SOMB Top 100 Singles of 2005

I think there were about 50 people (some of whom write for Stylus, Pitchfork, PopMatters, Static etc.) voting for up to 100 each.

Re: SOMB Top 100 Singles of 2005

Sometimes I think I'm an internet/music freak. Sometimes I think not.

Re: SOMB Top 100 Singles of 2005

The list from ilxor.com should probably also be included in Stefan's list when finished. Around 1. January anyway.

Re: SOMB Top 100 Singles of 2005

Top 20 has just been breached. 3 Rachel Stevens singles in the run 100-30. Louis XIV, Arcade Fire, British Sea Power, Out Hud and LCD Soundsystem have appeared.

Re: SOMB Top 100 Singles of 2005

Top 5 consists of Kelly Clarkson and four British artists... Still being unvailed

Re: SOMB Top 100 Singles of 2005

Whilst no-one was that enthralled that collectively Franz got to #1 (and by such a slender margin.) I guess that's what happens when you have the option of voting for 100 singles, the most talked about songs do the best.

Still I think it's a pretty good list overall

Re: SOMB Top 100 Singles of 2005

Seeing this makes me sad that the AtEase board is down. I've been looking forward to posting the Top 1,000+ songs for a while now.

(Sorry, only Mitchell probably knows what I'm talking about....)

Re: SOMB Top 100 Singles of 2005

Heh, I see sonofsamiam that your list of 750 favourite songs isn't enough for you anymore. Now you want to do one with 1000+ songs on it.
