Hey guys. Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year. It's time to announce the results of all your votes for the best maps of 2009. There were over 6,000 valid votes, which isn't a bad result considering the short notice! Without further delay:

Best Beatmaps of 2009



p.s. I'll be back to hard work on osu! later this month .

lol top 3 isn't suprising~

"Don't stop me now" won "Don't say lazy" lol!!, good songs ^3^

EDIT: NVM! Good stuff.

Mostly unsurprising, but overall, It was a good turnout

A few unexpected ones but mostly what I predicted.

Kinda sad nothing I worked on got in, ah well.

:O I was hoping it wouldn't go this way.
I'm surprised only like 3 of the ones i voted for are in there, was expecting some whip the blip, melody from heaven, lemon tree, or any part of the Jarto trilogy
Good to see Don't stop me now at #1 though, really well deserved

Will the chart really last all year, or is it supposed to be just one month like the others?

The fact that there are only two english songs really makes me sad

only few of my favourites made it through

Actually, not surprised by the top 3.

By the way, can we have the complete rank chart? (if possible)

I worked on both of them lol

but yeah the presence of synthetic automata maps disappoints me a bit. I'd like to congratulate LH with FGI, though. To battle that high up the charts on map quality alone is something else.

How did this get up there?

Don't Stop Me Now triumphs over weeaboo~

GJ m980, Luigihann and all others that were involved. We all saw this coming but it's heartwarming to see it real.

It is not surprizing to see StrangeProgram on the chart since it has the most SP among the maps that has exist
What made me surprize is Gee being on the chart. I couldn't imagine K-pop being on the chart really. Nice work Garlic

'Don't Stop Me Now' is good song :3
And... 2 K-ON songs ???

Actually there are 3 K-ON songs.

Breakdown:

8 Touhou
8 Vocaloid
7 Anime
2 English
2 J-Pop
1 K-Pop
1 Other (what the hell is You?)
1 StrangeProgram

~1/3 of them are Vocaloid songs.

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

It's from an anime song... (so it seems from the other two ranked "you" remixes)... so thats 8-8-8... o_O
Lol, Strangeprogram gets its own "catagory"

Oh, right, the thread should be titled "Favourites of 2009" or "Top Voted of 2009" or like. Saying best implies that some are better than others. While this holds true in some cases, it most certainly does not in others (and it is subjective to a degree) so @_@

Well it's from Higurashi so I guess throw it under Anime too?

none of Mystearica's?
surprised.

GEEEGEEGEEGEEEE. :]

Glad to see some maps of actual quality on there. However, perhaps a bit more diversity (instead of 'very little' could we perhaps go up to 'a tad'?) would be nice. Ah well, wishful thinking. Congrats to the people whose maps made it onto the list.

Yeah, it would be nice to have something other than eastern asia beatmaps that were popular. Although, that's what brings most of us to osu! in the first place.

Great maps are too much
These are some of them, and maybe some guys didn't add a afavourate even though he like one map XD

This. Also, why are the number of s who favorited a map still on a question mark?

One more thing, I don't think the chart is open yet, since I just played Broken Moon and didn't get any chart ranking?

Yeah it's not updating correctly right now, I played a few of the maps and realized I wasn't getting on the chart so I stopped

There actually a good amount of maps I like, but of course so does everyone else, so it's not a surprise that they are all on the chart.

#1 I agree with..

Other than that.... Meh.

I want to murder the osu! community even though I am far from surprised

I was gonna vote Feel Good Inc. but didn't get around to it. At least it was in there.

This community needs less weeaboo, really.

play the maps if you enjoy playing them who gives a shit about charts arrghhhhahdgaisgblarghle

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

Sorry, scoring should work correctly now. Charts will likely play a bigger role in the near future, so don't do away with them just yet . Also on the issue of map selection, this is supposed to provide a view of the overall community, which it does quite successfully. If you don't like the maps in here, then don't play them. There is no point voicing your hatred towards those that *do* enjoy the selection (which is naturally the majority). If you think "osu! needs more xxx" where xxx is your faovourite genre/band, then do your part in contributing/modding maps in that area.

I had a feeling about Don't Stop me Now being #1 and it was correct. Now doing the celebration process.

1. Purchasing a box
2. making sure there are packaging peanuts
3. getting extra packaging peanuts
4. Making sure the place I bought it from was where peppy lives
   
5. Having the packaging peanuts lit on fire
6. Sending them to peppy.

YAY!

Honestly anyone who didn;t think it would turn out this way is delusional lol

I'm a little sad that James's Bad Apple Was higher.. that's prob in my top 5

Well I've already played almost all of these songs, I was just going to fix my scores on them if I could and place on the chart. Just figured I'd kill two birds with one stone.

lol

This is hilarious, just 2 english maps.

That's because around half of osu!'s playerbase live in Eastern Asia.

With that kind of player base combined with anime lovers, what did you expect? :P

Don't stereotype

But that being said you do have a point.

Bug.. important bug .... the approved map strangeprogram and bad apple!!.
http://osu-ppy-sh.tvgratuite.org/s/5774; http://osu-ppy-sh.tvgratuite.org/p/beatmap?b=42152&m=2

When you do this maps... the score win, not added in the charts ranked score -.- (one year to find the solution x3)

EDIT: one correction.. all levels in DJ Sharpnel - StrangeProgram and Masayoshi Minoshima ft. nomico - Bad Apple!! are bad... none gives score...

Approved maps aren't supposed to add to score. Usually because they give much more than normal maps breaking them a bit so this prevents that from happening. Also well done gimmick maps don't get ranked so people don't freak out. This isn't a bug this is supposed to happen.

It also doesn't make them bad that they don't give ranked score.

From the first thread:

Cyclone wrote: 1t6r1p

This WILL count the maps that are "Approved." These maps WILL be counted for ranked score for the ranking chart.

When I played the other day, some of the "approved" difficulties weren't giving me score. Will this be resolved?

Edit: They still don't count as of 01/04/10 6:30pm EST

Yes pokebis, but how say nardi11011:

Cyclone said that this maps COUNT! in the ranked score (only in chart).

And other thing pokebis, any level in the bad apple song (Masayoshi Minoshima ft. nomico) count... ANY!! and, only the last level is approved... i ... i said peppy that i lost 16.900.000 points (more or less) when he reranked the map with the approved level... but he said me that my score was correct... no... my score are incorrect... -.- (in CtB mode the lunatic level give 16.9 mill with hidden), my score and that of all those who played are incorrect (i suppose that all modes, standar, taiko, ctb), this need a important fix.

So for those who don't understand, that map is approved without exception all levels; peppy did a mistake, and he approved all levels in bad apple map. And he forgot to program the approved songs to the charts.. then, the charts have 28 songs with possible ranked score; and 2 approved (totally).

Bye i hope answer :3

P.S:

Yeah not import so much in strangeprogram case, but in bad apple... it should be totally ranked (except the last level).

Possible some words are bad... my english isn't perfect, sorry ^^"

I forgot to take a screenshot, but bad apple!! (Lunatic) DID count towards ranking chart score.

Yeah I'm pretty sure when I played Ephemeral's Bad Apple it counted for my ranking chart score.

congratulations to those who made the cut.

the lack of english songs makes me disappointed because none of my favs are up there (except the obvious, DSMN, and the ones that weren't 2009). I should've made a bigger list >.>

(btw, Feel Good Inc. was awesome, congrats on that)
