In lieu of the previous SyncTube sessions' weekly polls cutting each week's songs down to a list of 10 options to vote for because no one volunteered to do the work to make such curated lists, for our Hot 100 #1s marathon I'm just going to post one of these threads each week allowing people to vote for whichever songs they want from the full list x

 

If you don't know what the above sentence is referring to don't worry, this thread is open to participation from anyone (although we're always open to new participants at our weekly listening sessions x), just post in the thread with up to 5 favourites and, if you want, up to 3 least favourites from the below song list. The song with the most favourite nods will get a play at the start of next week's session (and the song with the most least favourite nods will just have a permanent place on a wall of shame for funziez).

 

Our last double bill of polls saw Gotye and Kimbra's 'Somebody That I Used To Know' top week 24 with 7 votes, another 1 vote lead over fellow alternative hit 'Royals' by Lorde while The Weeknd's 'The Hills' finished 3rd with 5 votes (a late vote from JackJones breaking it out of a 3 way tie for the bronze). The Weeknd did however go two places better in comfortably winning the week 25 poll with Daft Punk collab 'Starboy' getting 8 votes, a full 3 ahead of a three way tie for second place between Billie Eilish's 'bad guy', Sia and Sean Paul's 'Cheap Thrills' and Kendrick Lamar's 'HUMBLE.'. It was a 1 vote margin for the win in both worst polls, Flo Rida's 'Whistle' and Maroon 5's 'Girls Like You' (feat. Cardi B) getting 5 and 6 votes respectively, while Maroon 5 were also the runner up for week 24 with 4 votes for 'One More Night' and Ed Sheeran with or without Beyoncé took the silver for week 25 with 'Perfect [Duet]'. Taylor Swift's 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' tied with Bruno Mars' 'When I Was Your Man' for bronze in week 24 with 3 votes each while Taylor also took bronze with 3 votes with 'Look What You Made Me Do' for week 25. I expect she'll do better in the remaining polls.

Apologies for once again leaving this so last minute (I've had to rush through finishing BJSC veto research today too), the good news is this is the last week that I'll be on such a time limit so here's the week 26 poll going up with just an hour and a half's warning before this week's SyncTube session starts whoops, I'll see if we get enough votes before 4pm and if not maybe I can play a recap song at the end instead. In any case, this list covers the 1,092nd through 1,136th #1s, from early November 2019 (Selena Gomez's 'Lose You To Love Me') to the start of May 2022 (Jack Harlow's 'First Class', with Harry Styles' 'As It Was' returning to #1 after its first week at the top).

My votes for this week:

Best:

Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow - INDUSTRY BABY

Post Malone - Circles

Taylor Swift - cardigan

Taylor Swift - willow

The Weeknd and Ariana Grande - Save Your Tears (Remix)

A lot of songs I kept on my initial sweep so a lot of 'near misses' but the last few I cut: 'All Too Well (Taylor's Version)', 'Heartless', 'Leave The Door Open', 'As It Was', 'positions' and, very regrettably, 'The Box'. Considered kicking one of the other two Taylor songs in favour of that just for diversity but they're both really up there with my all time faves from her.

Worst:

6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj - TROLLZ

Glass Animals - Heat Waves

Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo - Savage Love (Laxed - Siren Beat) (BTS Remix)

All offensive for different reasons but all stood out as easy picks. 'Way 2 Sexy' is saved from consideration by having a fun video but can consider itself a dishonourable mention anyway x

A tiebreaker between 'Blinding Lights' and 'Save Your Tears' during the final session ended in another draw (4 votes each I think), so both songs were played as joint best of the week.

I don't have the tracklist for the final week, but if a poll does materialise, I'll play the winner of the best poll in the first session of the next series, starting in a few weeks' time!
