| 1 | Crippled Black Phoenix | "Cry of Love" | single | Grace and horror are convolutions of a single force, |
| 2 | AS IT IS | "Soap 2020" | single | directions of ardor applied to a scaffolding of weakness we lash around ourselves |
| 3 | Wicca Phase Springs Eternal | "Obsessed" | This Moment I Miss 5 | in the wishful misapprehension that any important problems can be isolated to exteriors. |
| 4 | Disillusion | "Between" | single | Nothing that happens here belongs to us alone. |
| 5 | Softheart | "Stay by Me" | single | Your heart knows what it needs in an instant, |
| 6 | Fenrir's Scar | "Curse of Mankind" | single | and waits to tell you until it thinks you are prepared. |
| 7 | Pain of Salvation | "RESTLESS BOY" | single | It's always wrong. |
| 8 | Dwell in Doom | "Immortal Beast" | single | Love is our name for all the externalities we perceive as imposed upon us from within. |
| 9 | Manticora | "The Farmer's Tale, Pt. 3 - Eaten by the Beasts" | single | I did not exactly choose these songs, or the way guitars change my breath. |
| 10 | Imperial Triumphant | "Alphaville" | Alphaville (Bonus Tracks Edition) | I did not plan to remember this miserable year by three albums of chaos organized obliquely into implicit taxonomies of exemption, |
| 11 | Ethicist | "Foreign Lines" | Songbird | nor to yearn for exemption in the first place, |
| 12 | Black Magnet | "Punishment Map" | single | nor for this year to last 20,000 identical days |
| 13 | Drouth | "O Time Thy Pyramids - An Unfinished Nightmare" | Excerpts from a Dread Liturgy | and still be no closer to resolution. |
| 14 | Batushka | "IRMOS IV / ИРМОС IV" | single | We rarely plan our purgatories. |
| 15 | The Infernal Sea | "Befallen Order" | single | We have exultory tracts declaring us chosen for reward |
| 16 | 7xvn | "All Hail the Birth of Thy King" | S.P.I.T. 5 | and nearly-identical polemics threatening retributive torment, |
| 17 | ONI INC. | "FUCK RACISM" | single | bound into binary and almost entirely hypothetical cosmologies, |
| 18 | ghostofblu | "BACKBONE" | BACKBONE +1 | and then we wonder why everything in between seems maddeningly ambiguous. |
| 19 | Lil Darkie | "AMV" | single | It's easier to mythologize than remember, |
| 20 | SuiSai | "sting of honesty" | single | and easier to dream of blue truth-telling turtles |
| 21 | Travis Barker | "Forever" | Forever +3 | than to take responsibility for the chemical spill that dyed them. |
| 22 | Tenille Arts | "TERRITORY" | single | We collect the material for outrage in our ships, |
| 23 | Neoni | "Bloodstream" | single | and then abandon them in other people's harbors. |
| 24 | Arca | "Knot" | single | The buildings you walk past evaluate the cadence of your movements, |
| 25 | Tricky | "Thinking Of" | single | contemplating the possible motivations for explosion. |
| 26 | Poppy | "Khaos x4" | single | Chaos and order are temporal widths. |
| 27 | Konomi Suzuki | "THEATER OF LIFE" | OPENING THEME SONG FROM TV SERIES”DECAーDENCE” 4 | It's also easier to mythologize than to anticipate, |
| 28 | Hachi | "Hikari no Mukoue" | single | easier to think of night and day as distinctions at war, |
| 29 | ヨルシカ | "昼鳶" | 盗作 | easier to tense yourself for a fight than to take a breath big enough to share, |
| 30 | tricot | "おまえ" | single | easier to orbit idols than to call them and acknowledge your role in their fate. |
| 31 | BRATS | "棘" | single | I am sitting in my living room in the dark, |
| 32 | Envoi | "Wonders" | single | and you are singing about what it feels like to decide to hold onto something that is actually a part of you. |
| 33 | The Haunt | "Brag About" | single | You are escaping from an orphange, |
| 34 | Season of Ghosts | "A Place to Call Home (Radio Edit)" | single | or stealing a bright blue car, |
| 35 | Adamantia | "Caminar Sobre el Viento" | single | and I pick up a glass that was empty of ice coffee the previous two times I picked it up, too, |
| 36 | Era for a Moment | "So Long" | single | and put it down and turn the page. |
| 37 | Oceans of Slumber | "The Colors of Grace" | single | We take turns constructing elaborate distractions for each other, |
| 38 | Null Positiv | "Phantomschmerz" | Independenz | and then tearing them apart in reductive fury, |
| 39 | Triángulo de Amor Bizarro | "Vixiantes Do Espello" | single | and then standing in the debris and wondering how any combination of wreckage and triumph is supposed to be assembled into a home. |
| 40 | Joven Dolores | "Islados" | single | I am landing with an embassy of dragons, |
| 41 | Molay | "Ikot" | single | and you are looking out of your window and reaching for a mask. |
| 42 | Bastille | "WHAT YOU GONNA DO???" | single | We have been left to our own devices, and many days just fall away, |
| 43 | Volunteer | "Found You in the Fire" | single | but sometimes we catch one. |
| 44 | SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Jean-Ken Johnny | "Chaos Drifters" | Chaos Drifters / CRY 5 | Today you hear a song, |
| 45 | The River | "Indonesiaku" | single | or 80 songs, |
| 46 | The Go-Go's | "Club Zero" | single | and some of them are about resilience |
| 47 | Ella Vos | "Dreaming, backwards" | Turbulence | and some about fragility, |
| 48 | Laleh | "Vatten" | Vatten +2 | and these are different ways of telling the same story. |
| 49 | Melanie C | "In and Out of Love" | In And Out Of Love 3 | You can want a future that doesn't require coming to terms with our past, |
| 50 | ØPAL | "Iced Coffee" | single | like you can want an entirely empty glass to be half full again, |
| 51 | BAER | "Playboi" | single | like you can want to hit shift at exactly the right time to be sucked into the screen, |
| 52 | Sophia Loizou | "Anima" | single | but you only dream that way because you have not been circuits yet. |
| 53 | Abyss X | "Love Altercation" | INNUENDO | The circuits smile, not because they know what karma awaits you, |
| 54 | blackwinterwells | "give loop" | single | but because it will be fun to show you around when you arrive. |
| 55 | MIMIDEATH | "okway" | FOAR EVERYWUN FRUM MIMI | Zero and one are different ways to say maybe |
| 56 | SyKo | "Favela" | single | with confidence. |
| 57 | Tonser | "Eye for eye" | single | I am deleting email |
| 58 | Luvox | "For a Rainy Day" | single | offering me discounts on things I don't need from stores where I don't live, |
| 59 | Anna von Hausswolff | "Sacro Bosco" | single | and you are looking at a blank sequencer and thinking about the shapes of notes that aren't there yet. |
| 60 | Siamese Youth | "Take on Me Too" | single | These are both self-preservational practices, bailing and waiting, |
| 61 | Drive!Drive! | "Like You" | single | in a Calvinist version of art where the work lurks ahead of us in the dark. |
| 62 | FigureItOut | "Far Beyond" | single | We pass in intersecting headlong flights from birth, |
| 63 | Touché Amoré | "Limelight" | single | strangers and long-awaited friends alike not kissing, |
| 64 | Black Veil Brides | "We Stitch These Wounds" | Re-Stitch These Wounds | waiting to be allowed to kiss again, |
| 65 | The Psychedelic Furs | "Wrong Train" | Made of Rain | waiting for our own mistakes to again take precedence over ambient terror, |
| 66 | Corazón | "Dímelo" | El Principio del Camino 6 | waiting for our hearts to be stronger |
| 67 | Leander Kills | "Gyere bánat" | single | as if that's how hearts work. |
| 68 | Penny Penny | "Ibola Aids" | single | But blood and air are symbiont states of the same morally neutral substrate. |
| 69 | Mpumi Mzobe | "Ngibambe" | Nompumelelo | We do not win by breathing, but by breathing with purpose. |
| 70 | Aubrey Qwana | "Phimbo Lami" | Imvula Mlomo | You exhale a sound. |
| 71 | The 2 Johnnies | "Dancing In My Kitchen" | single | My heart beats. |
| 72 | Black Marble | "Johnny and Mary" | single | This is how it starts. This is how it started. |
| 73 | Hinds | "Spanish Bombs" | single | Nothing that happens between us belongs only to us, |
| 74 | First to Eleven | "Fade to Black" | single | which is why nothing that happens between us matters only to us, |
| 75 | Vivienne Chi | "Dreams" | single | but if we listen carefully to our loneliness, in these days filled with it, |
| 76 | MIMIDEATH | "fastcar" | FOAR EVERYWUN FRUM MIMI | maybe we will hear who we can become. |
