Reopen the polls, some of these songs have been robbed, reopen the polls god damn it!!

Delighted this is getting its flowers, best thing on the album, so beautiful bsky.app/profile/elec...

Ariana's 'We can't be friends' is such a beautiful song - it has been on constant rotation for me this year. I am OBSESSED with the mash up with Robyn's 'Call your girlfriend' too. @electricangels.bsky.social

Robyn technically in the top 15 we’re taking the W.

Listening to @electricangels.bsky.social with no stake in the game is still an absolute pleasure (I forgot to vote, so I guess I am heterosexual now).

Despite being way too much of a tiktok song.. I don't hate it.

I did not need to hear “I’m so fucking horny” at 10:11am on Christmas Eve.

Might have to listen to more Rachel Chinouriri as that was good and I’ve not heard of her before.

EPIPHANY!

Gays we need words on FKA bsky.app/profile/elec...

*X factor man voice* ITS TIME…. TO MAKE…. The Christmas Tiramisu…. Listening to @electricangels.bsky.social

Devastated I forgot about Heat but another year of my basic primal homosexual need to dance to pop mewsic shines through

I love democracy.

ooh it's a GREAT list this year. not that i ever think it's pants. but TRULY. maybe we should all just sack off our christmas eve plans altogether and do the full Top 100

what’s joining these gals in the Songs of the Year hall of fame? vote open until Monday! smartsurvey.co.uk/s/soty2024

My favourite time of year!! A heinous omission of Delta Goodrem - Hearts on the Run (she would have got dou poi), otherwise thrilled with the pop girlies this year

It was a brat year - but my #1 this year has to be Angel Of My Dreams. Also giving votes to Charli, Kacey, Nelly, Confidence Man, Tove Lo 👀

even if u ✨ find a way ✨ to vote more than once in the poll, pls know I’m currently sat here manually weeding out multiple submissions from the same dua/camila/mabel/meghan trainor fan who’s submitted many, many, many times in quick succession 😩

I panicked but I've had a ongoing list all year ready for this moment... Have been saying Soup is SOTY since I first heard it, a sing along anthem on the virtues of love and what you do in a relationship to make it work, with soup being seen as both comfort food, and comfort in a relationship.

got too excited for this and did my entry, then immediately remembered like three songs I wish I’d put in there - let my haste be a cautionary tale 😔✌️

yay more music-related things to vote for

Locked in 🗳️

The first 130 surveys are in and there are already 411 different songs on the godforesaken spreadsheet 😭
