| 2 | The Algorithm | "pointers" | single | The djentstep has lost some step, but it's still at least compucore. |
| 3 | Eagulls | "Skipping" | single | Northern blacklight marching howl. |

| 8 | Lucius | "Something About You" | Good Grief | Ambitious, riveting, percussive deconstructed Motown via Paisley Park via some ungovernable city on the Moon. |
| 9 | Glint | "Get Out The Way" | Inverter | Imagine something smaller than Dragons. |
| 10 | Linney | "Hi, My Name Is - Original Mix" | Things We Say EP 4 | Teen pop as a compositional style. |
| 11 | Sizzy Rocket | "THRILLS" | single | Teen trap pop? Charli XCX with more Beyoncé? |
| 12 | Skeletonwitch | "Well of Despair" | single | Frantic, unglossy melodic thrash-metal. |
| 13 | Harakiri for the Sky | "Calling the Rain" | single | Atmospheric black post-rock, like study-music for slowly and methodically lighting your work on fire. |
| 14 | Uruk-Hai | "Return of the Fallen Warriors" | Elbenstahl | Solipsistic ambient Tolkien laptop epicore-metal, like a musical evocation of the footnotes for a script for a montage of a battle. |

| 16 | Auroch | "From Forgotten Worlds" | From Forgotten Worlds | The breath of wolves, tinged with the smell, from deep in their throats, of what's left of your sentries. |
| 17 | Kerri Watt | "The Wild" | single | Pealing, affirmational country-pop anthem (technically from Milngavie, not Nashville, but whatever). |
| 18 | Namewee | "Cry Father" | single | Sweeping, sentimental Malaysian orch-pop. |
| 19 | Cardiknox | "Earthquake" | Portrait | If New York City ever gets into Eurovision, they will clean up. |
| 20 | Bob Mould | "The End of Things" | single | Should you ever forget that Bob Mould was in an important punk band. |

| 29 | Susanna | "Hole" | single | Kate Bush never sounded anywhere near as blippy as this, but few singers come this close to Kate's oblique poetic sense. Or to what Jane Siberry might sound like if she hadn't given up on technology. |

| 31 | Sie Gubba | "Bra nok - som du e" | single | Norwegian "country rock" is kind of like Runrig with extra guitars instead of fiddles, but then fiddles instead of bagpipes. |
| 32 | Fiordaliso | "Nel molo di san blas - Radio Edit" | Nel molo di san blas 2 | Italian arena-pop-rock singer Fiordaliso, of whom I've previous never heard, has apparently sold over 6 million records, and now I'm going to have to go back and listen to them all. |

| 39 | Unzucht | "Kettenhund" | Kettenhund 5 | Progressive stentorian electronic metalcore. |
| 40 | Erik Ekholm | "Furia" | Dreadnought | Ekholm has 20k monthly listeners, so presumably this isn't a custom-written epicore anthem for my internet domain. And yet. |

| 42 | San Holo | "New Sky" | New Sky +1 | Sanfir, Master of the Pitchbend Wheel. |

| 52 | Kristallbarn | "Motiv" | Motiv Till Morgondan 6 | It's not like Eurovision created that style and forced it upon people. |
| 53 | Timoteij | "Firelight" | Under Our Skin 5 | Not upon the Swedish people, anyway. |
| 54 | Marathonmann | "Blick in die Zukunft" | single | German post-hardcore so post- it kind of comes back around to punk again. |

| 56 | Do | "Zonder Jou (Titelsong Rokjesdag)" | single | Genial, jangly Dutch movie theme. |
