My first year-end ballot for 2009, though the only tracks that are eligible were the ones reviewed by
the Singles Jukebox collective, and the 17 highest-rated by Jukeboxers aren't eligible,* since they've already qualified for the year-end tournament. This ballot is, in effect, my nominations list for the tournament. I've got three alternate nominees in case any of the not-yet-reviewed "amnesty" tracks on my list reach the top 17.
(I'd hoped to get a chance to listen to the tracks on Lex's list, not all of which I'd heard the first time, but other commitments intervened.)
Plenty more I liked that didn't make my list. Wished I'd had room for Morandi, to be in solidarity with Chuck on that one. (It was
creamed by most Jukebox raters.)
1. Shystie f. DJ Deekline "New Style"
2. The Black Eyed Peas "Boom Boom Pow"
3. Love And Theft "Runaway"
4. The Lonely Island "I'm On A Boat"
5. Das Racist "Combination Pizza Hut And Taco Bell (Wallpaper Mix)"
6. Timberlee f. Tosh "Heels"
7. Girls Aloud "Untouchable"
8. Depeche Mode "Wrong"
9. Asher Roth "I Love College"
10. Tempa T "Next Hype"
( Tracks 11 through 23 )*I'd have definitely listed Ne-Yo's "Part Of The List" and Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" if they hadn't made the top 17. Might also have gone for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Heads Will Roll" and Medina's "Kun For Mig."
