POPTIMISTS TRACKS OF 2009: The Also-Rans

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The wait is over: THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE tracks were mentioned in the votes for the Poptimists 2009 poll, and EIGHTY FIVE!!! of them got more than one vote. Today I'll be covering off the ones outside the Top 50 (so, erm, in the top 85) and for the rest of the week you'll be finding out answers to the crucial questions - what won? who got shafted by vote-splitting? WHERE DID "MY GIRLS" PLACE? And so on.

So here's 85-61. They don't get video links but if you love one of these tracks link it up in the comments, eh?

85. Jamie T - "Sticks And Stones"
84. Champion DJ - "Baako"
83. Fever Ray - "When I Grow Up" (some points for Lissvik remix)
82. Blackout Crew - "Dialled"
81. Britney Spears - "3" (some points for Bedbugs remix)
79=. Jeremih - "Birthday Sex"
79=. Mungolian Jet Set - "Creepy"
78. Taylor Swift - "Love Story"
77. Lily Allen - "Fuck You"
76. Julian Casablancas - "11th Dimension"
75. Lily Allen - "Who'd Have Known"
74. Chrisette Michelle - "Epiphany"
73. Keri Hilson - "Intuition"
72. Timberlee ft Tosh - "Heels"
71. Royal P - "Between Us"
70. Keri Hilson ft Ne-Yo and Kanye West - "Knock You Down"
69. David Guetta ft Kelly Rowland - "When Love Takes Over"
68. The Saturdays - "Forever Is Over"
67. Ke$ha - "Tik Tok"
66. Black Eyed Peas - "Boom Boom Pow"
65. Ms Dynamite - "Bad Gyal"
64. Jamie Foxx ft T-Pain - "Blame It"
62=. Moderat - "Rusty Nails"
62=. Baby Dollz - "My Cookie"
61. Ellie Goulding - "Under The Sheets"

Top 20s were scored as follows: 25-20-18-17-16..down to 1. Tracks are ordered based on 1. No. of points received, 2. No. of voters (higher=better), 3. Highest individual placing. Where two mixes were nominated points were combined and the highest voted mix declared the 'official' placing though alternatives will be linked in the countdown. That's it I think.

Moderat!

I will now take a moment for victory arms. \o/! High-five to my fellow Moderat voter(s)!

Things I didn't vote for but that were under very serious consideration, out of this lot: Baby Dollz (came *this close* to being my #20), Bad Gyal and Blame It (although it would have been the New Devices Remix).

I'd completely forgotten about When Love Takes Over! I was really loving it over the summer, when it was everywhere.

I was (one of?) the other(s) - pleased to see it placed, I hoped I wasn't throwing away my vote.
