I’m launching this one a day early again, in order to prevent a scheduling conflict where one of the upcoming semi-finals polls would otherwise run on the same day that the final Billboard charts for 2014 come out.
Before we get to this year, though, I’d like to discuss that topic. Ever since I started this series back in August, we’ve been getting thousands and thousands phone calls and letters and telegrams* from all around the country asking what happens at the end of this series. With this poll, we’re a mere four more polls away from the grand finale, so I’ll address that in some detail here.
Firstly, as I mentioned above, the final Hot 100 for 2014 comes out on December 18th. When that chart comes, we’ll be able to do the best-of survey for this year. In the future, I intend to continue running polls for each new year for the foreseeable future.
Secondly, once we’ve done the 2011 poll and fully caught up to the present day, we’ll be doing a best-of-the-decade series of polls for each decade in Hot 100 history; the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, and '10s (so far). Each of those polls will feature the song with the most votes from each year’s poll as of the time when I post the poll; in the event of a tie, both songs will make it on the list. (No years are currently tied, but the following years currently have polls that are within 5 votes of a tie; 1963, 1964, 1966, 1968, 1974, 1989, 1991, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2004. So if you haven’t voted in one of those yet and a song you like is on the threshold, feel free to give it a push.) Once that series is done, we’ll do a final poll with the winners of those polls to determine the Official SDMB-Sanctioned Greatest #1 Jam Of All Time (For Now). After that… we’ll see.
Now that that’s out of the way, on to the poll itself. It is now 2007. With Beyoncé carrying over, there are eighteen songs to choose from. What’s your fave?
- Well, five or six PMs, but my way of saying it was more dramatic
