| 1 | Lotus Thief | "Libation Bearers" | single | The year could just keep indefinitely going, and I would barely be surprised, |
| 2 | Neverlight | "Of Flame and Ash" | The Quiet Room | each week half as many new songs to consider but somehow the same number irresistible, |
| 3 | Teodasia | "Hysteria" | single | until in week 78 there is nothing I don't love, |
| 4 | Circus of Fools | "Eris (To the Fairest One)" | single | the universe and I reconciled and converged. |
| 5 | Mindmaze | "Slave to the Cycle" | single | Which suggests, probably, that I could just abandon the outside flow of time entirely, |
| 6 | DEATH'S-HEAD AND THE SPACE ALLUSION | "Shrouded Stars" | single | and instead run it back and forth over itself, |
| 7 | Crashing Atlas | "The Light" | single | or pick a random week from history for every week of life, |
| 8 | As December Falls | "From the Start" | single | or hold the week fixed and live it as a different self for seven days at a time. |
| 9 | First to Eleven | "Adam's Song" | single | It doesn't feel like we're dying, |
| 10 | CANDY GO!GO! | "Find it !" | The last of days (TYPE A) 3 | and this denial is maybe ultimately all I ask from any impetus. |
| 11 | Hold out Hope | "Nightmare" | single | I used to rush towards lists, towards reduction and letting go |
| 12 | Yanakoto Sotto Mute | "Into Yours" | single | of everything but 10. Or 20. |
| 13 | COJIRASE THE TRIP | "Konnichiwassup" | four | Or 100, and now I see how none of these were letting go at all. |
| 14 | EMPiRE | "I have a chance!!" | the GREAT JOURNEY ALBUM | Hoarding is not a quantitative threshold. |
| 15 | Maneki Kecak | "共通項" | あるわけないの | I am none of these women, |
| 16 | IRONBUNNY | "Infinite Mirror" | single | none of these soaring notes, |
| 17 | postman | "セレクティブサンクション" | single | none of this haltingly rendered transliteration, |
| 18 | BIGMAMA | "誰が為のレクイエム" | Roclassick〜the Last〜 | none of these fragile bells, |
| 19 | Halo at Yojohan | "イノセント・プレイ" | イノセント・プレイ / ナラク / 花飾りのうた 3 | none of this hesitant grace. |
| 20 | kobore | "ボーイズアンドガールズ" | single | And so our absences will not be the lack of these songs, |
| 21 | culenasm | "Whale cry" | In your fragrance | will not be silences without them, |
| 22 | MAKE MY DAY | "Fragment" | single | will not be a surrender of anything these anthems defended. |
| 23 | ROTTENGRAFFTY | "ハレルヤ" | ハレルヤ +2 | The opposite of judgment is not chaos, it is love, |
| 24 | Unreqvited | "Pale" | single | in the same way that the opposite of chaos is not predestiny, but love as well. |
| 25 | LUNA SEA | "Pulse" | CROSS | Maybe all of this time has been this one same year, |
| 26 | Thy Catafalque | "Tsitsushka" | single | twisted into coastlines along an anticipated shore, |
| 27 | Unhold | "Barren" | single | stalked by shattered oblivions |
| 28 | Munknörr | "Nauthiz" | Rúnaákall | or those fish that look like angels from above |
| 29 | Drakum | "Urashima" | single | and the sky from below. |
| 30 | Nylithia | "Born Machines" | Goddamn Type 1 5 | They say the sky keeps going, too, |
| 31 | SCARLET | "Anyway" | FISHES 4 | but what would you do with this belief, if you had it? |
| 32 | Josie Pace | "No" | single | Its hats will not stay on your head. |
| 33 | Player One | "Five More Minutes" | Five More Minutes +1 | Its ecstasies will fold in your hand like smoke. |
| 34 | 小男孩樂團 | "Feel The Heat" | One Thing | It does not propose an alternate method for living, |
| 35 | RUNAGROUND | "Lose You To Love Me" | single | because you cannot live in another being's way, |
| 36 | TYGERMYLK | "Baba O'riley" | single | you can only elegantly misunderstand. |
| 37 | Jorn | "Needles and Pins" | single | You will be given the illusion of choice |
| 38 | LYRA | "Mother" | single | between inextricably linked options you have long since unknowingly preselected. |
| 39 | OCTAVIAGRACE | "Raise a Belief" | Radiant | Learning to open your mind is learning to unhinge its lower jaw |
| 40 | SPARK SPEAKER | "Over" | single | so your ability to swallow wonder need not be limited by your capacity to chew it. |
| 41 | BOY MEETS HARU | "harukaze" | boy meets the end 3 | Another Friday comes, and stands at your door, |
| 42 | Master Sword | "The Final Door" | The Final Door | and was last week's love enough to prepare you for more? |
| 43 | SpecialThanks | "Hikari Ni Kaete" | single | There has never been a real alternative to falling, |
| 44 | MIOYAMAZAKI | "Singing" | jya douyattara aishitekurendayo | not on this rock |
| 45 | Andromida | "Fortitude" | single | or the ones in any other nearby sky. |
| 46 | Phoenix Rising | "Lies" | single | The phoenix is too smug about its rebirth to wonder where it got these preflown wings, |
| 47 | Larkins | "Flood" | single | and what you think defines you alone is right about only the loneliest parts: |
| 48 | Human Pyramids | "The Mighty Atom" | Power Pose | a time to spin, and a time to stand at the center of the spinning; |
| 49 | Nordvargr | "Death Closes the Gates of Time and Opens Those of Eternity" | Daath | a time to ask serious questions of the guardians of uncoveted realms; |
| 50 | Knogjärn | "Mera Mera" | single | a time to make instantly certain lists and check them no more than twice. |
| 51 | 7xvn | "NoFaceNoCase.Exe" | single | This year could last a minute and still be too long. |
| 52 | BVDLVD | "(DON'T) LOOK AT ME" | single | The new year will not be perfected by organizing the fragments of the last one, |
| 53 | Mimi Barks | "Carnifex" | single | but by believing again, from the beginning, that all of them have and will be broken and beautiful and horrible and perfect. |
