Aitch & AJ Tracey - Rain

Arlo Parks - Black Dog

Ashnikko - Daisy

Bicep - Apricots

SZA (feat. Ty Dolla $ign) - Hit Different

Voted for all the ones that made my chart this year:

 

Arlo Parks - Black Dog

Billie Eilish - my future

Frankie Wah - Come Together

Paul Woolford, Diplo & Kareen Lomax - Looking For Me

Romy - Lifetime

Royal Blood - Trouble's Coming

SZA (feat. Ty Dolla $ign) - Hit Different

There are lots of good songs on here but not many that are particularly great. Headie One would be my fave I guess, followed by Romy, Billie Eilish and Royal Blood (so have voted for those 4 in the poll). Several other artists on there for whom the song on the list is far from their best single of the year ('The Steps' is the only single from HAIM's album that I didn't really get into that much, although it did grow on me a bit when the album came out). Aitch, CLIPZ and Paul Woolford were all low top 40 hits in my chart as well.

Rain on me having a tough week

I don't expect Rain On Me was a Hottest Record

I misread the title as 'Anne-Marie's Hottest Record of the Year' and my heart literally stopped

Ashnikko please. ^_^

Looks like Oliver read the title of this thread wrong as well. It says 'record' not 'turd' :basil:

Went for Bicep, Fontaine’s DC, Royal Blood, Haim, Romy & Headie One!

Billie Eilish - my future

I'll go with the ones that made my own weekly top 100

 

Aitch & AJ Tracey - Rain

Bicep - Apricots

Franky Wah - Come Together

Headie One (feat. AJ Tracey & Stormzy) - Ain't It Different

Paul Woolford, Diplo & Kareen Lomax - Looking For Me [Fave]

Romy - Lifetime

Royal Blood - Troubles Coming

Obey has won! :cheer:

No real surprise with the fanbases for both, least BJ has taste voting for Royal Blood ❤️

Meh ~ by YUNGBLUD's standards it's a great song but by any other standard it's just ok. 'Parasite Eve' deserves.

Happy with that result :wub:

The fanbases didn't have as much power as I'd expect tbh, Frankie Wah finished well above Billie Eilish!

She picked ‘My Future’ so no surprise that Franky beat that!

She picked ‘My Future’ so no surprise that Franky beat that!

 

Therefore I Am wasn’t actually a Hottest Record so I think ‘my future’ was the only choice!
