| 1 | Imogen Heap | "Last Night Of An Empire" | Last Night Of An Empire +1 | We alternated between waiting and worrying, which is not the most productive cycle, |
| 2 | Taylor Swift | "‘tis the damn season" | evermore | but if you spin through it for long enough, you sometimes precess gradually into different orbits, |
| 3 | Azam Ali | "All that is left is Sky" | single | and end up, with involuntary ritual movements, regenerating sigils of the lost. |
| 4 | Kite | "Changing" | Hand Out the Drugs / Changing 2 | First we survive, |
| 5 | Alaska Reid | "Warm" | Big Bunny | then we refuse to be redefined by mere adversity, |
| 6 | Fol Chen | "In Ruins (Baths Remix)" | In Ruins 6 | then maybe we find our way through to remembering that anger is an energy, |
| 7 | NINA | "Where It Ends (feat. LAU)" | Control 5 | and thus every ordeal is an kinetic opportunity for transposition. |
| 8 | Margaret Berger | "Hjertemedisin" | single | We were given this year to let love and doubt entwine, |
| 9 | Loviet | "Dullshine" | single | to appreciate how windows admit both light and darkness. |
| 10 | Aitana | "NO TE HAS IDO Y YA TE EXTRAÑO" | 11 RAZONES | The freezer fleets stream out of Portage or Portsmouth, |
| 11 | Taylor Swift | "tolerate it" | evermore | playing battle hymns of normal again, |
| 12 | Wstdyth | "back2 the nite" | single | but there was never any true normal, |
| 13 | Senses | "note2self" | single | and nothing ever really repeats. |
| 14 | six impala | "SAD MACHINE" | single | Every orbit is different. |
| 15 | hm.wav | "m0th" | single | My favorite songs are the ones I haven't heard yet, |
| 16 | nothing,nowhere. | "fake friend" | fake friend 6 | and this obsessive forward listening |
| 17 | Aries | "CONVERSATIONS" | CONVERSATIONS +1 | is no method for not dying, |
| 18 | GARZI | "isthisallweknow" | single | but maybe a way of surfing on the relentless waves of mortality. |
| 19 | POORSTACY | "Hills Have Eyes" | single | You can measure this time against what you imagine you would have planned |
| 20 | Lilac | "mercy" | single | if you'd known ahead of time how long and how bad, |
| 21 | Pimm's | "SKY'S THE LIMIT" | single | and of course that is also true of life in general, |
| 22 | #f606 | "Denno-Denpa" | single | which is what makes it both correct and useless. |
| 23 | ASTERISM | "MUSIC" | GUERNICA 6 | Once you know how these songs end, |
| 24 | Skarlett Riot | "Gravity" | single | you have extracted the power |
| 25 | Blame Me! | "Fire, Fuel And Scars" | single | that you breathed into them in the first place, |
| 26 | September Mourning | "Wake The Dead" | single | and you're back to almost exactly where you started. |
| 27 | Sirenia | "Addiction No. 1" | single | Almost. |
| 28 | Edenbridge | "Tauerngold" | single | We will bring the tables back out, |
| 29 | Sebastien | "Zatmění" | Integrity | but the floors will remember the months they spent empty. |
| 30 | Dark The Suns | "Everywhere" | single | You will feel the breath of strangers. |
| 31 | dArtagnan | "C'est la vie" | single | You will catch yourself missing the warmth of masks. |
| 32 | Creye | "Find a Reason" | single | We careened off of paranoia and futility, |
| 33 | W.E.T. | "Got to Be About Love" | single | not always that much more effectively in socially empathic earnest |
| 34 | Soen | "Monarch" | single | than in imperious nihilist denial, |
| 35 | 3.2 | "A Fond Farewell" | single | and even at the end, the race between deliverance and inevitability |
| 36 | Harakiri for the Sky | "And Oceans Between Us" | single | may require unsatisfying arbitration. |
| 37 | Mesarthim | "Planet Nine 15:29" | Planet Nine | But this is not a defeat for science, any more than implacable cosmology is defeat for orbital physics. |
| 38 | Mesarthim | "Laniakea" | The Degenerate Era | We made the vaccines, |
| 39 | Saħħar | "Nilqghu..." | Tigrif Tal-Gnus | but we also made the wet markets |
| 40 | Einherjer | "Stars" | single | and the air filters |
| 41 | Aspar | "Rom" | single | and the masks |
| 42 | Asphyx | "Knights Templar Stand" | single | and the conduits for idiotic conspiracy theories |
| 43 | From North | "Fearless" | Lurhorns Call 3 | and the ordering systems for body bags |
| 44 | Moonspell | "Common Prayers" | single | and the fear we have shared and the hope. |
| 45 | Emma Ruth Rundle | "Hollywood" | single | There is only us. |
| 46 | For Giants | "What Happened To You" | single | We survive definitionally, |
| 47 | SECRET 7 LINE | "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU - English ver." | single | which is what allows us to care how more than why. |
| 48 | 黒木渚 | "Da Capo" | single | If you need two shots, |
| 49 | Hitsujibungaku | "変身" | POWERS | you get to decide two times which shirt to wear. |
| 50 | ame_no_parade | "if" | single | My favorite songs are the ones I haven't heard yet, |
| 51 | Mint Julep | "Chariot" | single | but I still listen to them twice. |
| 52 | Little Monarch | "Our Little Innocence" | single | Even if we spend the rest of our lives without ever having to do this again, |
| 53 | Emma Blackery | "Blossom" | single | we will be the creatures who have turned some of our fear of the unknown |
| 54 | Rey Pila | "Rear Window" | Velox Veritas | into fear of the known. |
| 55 | Die Heuwels Fantasties | "Shangri-La" | HERVERBEEL | We will save our favorite masks. |
| 56 | Taylor Swift | "long story short" | evermore | We will still sometimes get takeout. |
| 57 | Blanka Mazimela | "Gengesi" | Gengesi +2 | We will look out at the snow on snow days |
| 58 | Umajotha | "Wangijikela Obala" | Umhlaba Uhlangene | and remember thinking "So what? |
| 59 | uSongqongqo | "Intomb'emhlophe" | Intomb'emhlophe +3 | We know now that we can ground the planes as long as the wires stay up, |
| 60 | Ndlovu Youth Choir | "Blinding Lights" | Rise | at least for a day or a month or a year. |
| 61 | Georgia | "Running Up That Hill" | Seeking Thrills | God overplayed His Hand." |
| 62 | Shark Bait | "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" | single | When you get your life back, what are you going to do with it? |
| 63 | Halocene | "Don't Stop Believin'" | single | You can go back to whatever superstitious system of winning and losing you had before, |
| 64 | Sammy Hagar | "Heroes" | single | ardent techniques for unconvincing imitations of greatness |
| 65 | Brass Against | "Stinkfist" | single | or for turning tired moments into pleasure. |
| 66 | Joy Oladokun | "My Girl" | single | Maybe it takes a year to learn that we have the power to move all the days around. |
| 67 | Dark Nightcore | "Country Roads - Nightcore Version" | 12:00 A.M. (Yandere Nightcore Songs) | We were home yesterday. We've been home a lot of yesterdays. That's not how the story ends. |
| 68 | Roxette | "Pearls And Passion - Montezuma Demo July 25-26, 1986" | Bag Of Trix Vol. 4 | Emptiness and loneliness are more or less the same, and both have always been and will always be inside of us. |
| 69 | The Mountain Goats | "This Year - Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 2" | The Jordan Lake Sessions: Volumes 1 and 2 | There will be dancing in all of our cities. We are going to make it through this year. |
