BuzzJack Music Forum _ Dance _ Round 03: Least favourite Avicii single

Posted by: Danta Claus Dec 21 2015, 10:12 PM

17. Waiting For Love [7 votes, 21.88%]
18. X You [8 votes, 25.00%]
19. For A Better Day [4 votes, 10.53%; Tiebreak: 7 votes, 33.33%]
20. Pure Grinding [11 votes, 28.95%]

Seriously. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOUUU PEOPLEEEE?!?!?!?1

'Waiting For Love' is one of the greatest Avicii songs of ALL TIME. And you let it leave in round 2???

Rant over. 'Waiting For Love' was the official first single to be released from 'Stories', except in the UK where 'The Nights' was added as a bonus track. It peaked at #41 on streams alone and then entered at #6 upon official release. Slightly worse than I had expected but nonetheless it became a sizeable smash hit and helped 'Stories' make #9 in the official chart. Follow-up singles haven't made much of a chart impact however as people are starting to lose interest in Avicii.

'X You' leaves as well. The song was a non-album single which peaked in the top 50. Unlike his other singles though this one was helped by "You", as in fans got to help contribute to the song. It's not one of his best but it does make for a pretty decent tune.

Vote for your least favourite Avicii single (hard to choose one I know) and the two songs with the most votes will leave.

2 of my favourites there I'm guessing X You got several votes as it's not so well known (like the early songs in the Guetta polls) but it is amazing.

Remaining with Broken Arrows.

Poor WFL it's great but not his finest moment. John Legend Lidl vocal and the instrumental is a little slow for me. Definitely should have survived a couple more rounds though...

Superlove, please?

Oh HELL no. X You is amazing bloody instrumental racism here

Good bloody riddance. I wasn't going to put up with many stays of execution for Waiting For Love like what happened with Viva Forever in the Spice Girls poll.

Now that it's gone, I think I'll go with The Days, as the song marking the start of the massive drop in quality of the second era.

YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. Thank gosh it's gone.

Can we get rid of Hey Brother now?

I'm sorry, 'Waiting For Love' is seriously piss poor.

The Days

Minority here, but I'm voting for "Wake Me Up". I know it's one of Avicii's biggest hits, but I'm sick of it because of overplaying since most of my local stations play this track.

I didn't realise WFL was hated that much here! Sad to see it go, it's a belter!

'Broken Arrows' for me this time!

Posted by: CodySleighBell-y Dec 22 2015, 02:59 PM

"The Days" now. Once this goes out, it'll be hard to choose, but I'd rather have this below "SuperLove".

wtf @ 'waiting for love' leaving already ~ what is this trolling?!

>superlove

Posted by: Izzletoe Dec 22 2015, 08:46 PM

Oh pff. This has already gone seriously wrong. I swear Waiting For Love mostly gets hated by people who think Avicii songs all sound the same and use that as the latest of a long line to take out their hatred on.

Well, I'll tell you they don't, he uses different singers for each one!!1! (but it actually is very different varieties of male-vocalled dance, his old stuff sounds a lot more samey)

But... Collide again. In the vain hope it'll actually leave.

The backing track sounds like a weak, watered down 'I Could Be The One' and the vocal is annoying as hell.

Is "SuperLove" seriously worse than "The Days"? It's one of the most underrated IMO.

Posted by: /mdh32/ Dec 23 2015, 09:05 AM

Why are people voting for The Days?

It's one of my favourites personally even if it does have Robbie Williams in it

Posted by: SLlewellyn Dec 23 2015, 08:26 PM

Honestly think "The Days" is his worst single to date - glad to see it looking to leave soon.

WFL is horrendous

Voted for The Days
