| 1 | Kelly Khumalo | "Uyathandwa" | From A God To A King | You think you have armor against magic, |
| 2 | Caroline Polachek | "I Believe" | Desire, I Want To Turn Into You | but this is circular: |
| 3 | mzsrz | "タイムマシン" | タイムマシン | armor is our word for the things you have refused in anticipation, |
| 4 | Sirgaus | "Monti Pallidi" | L'Anguana e la Gemma del Mare Ancestrale | and magic is our word for everything else. |
| 5 | Setanera | "Losing Control" | Equilibrium | The cold that enwraps you is not polished steel, |
| 6 | Katra | "Ever After" | single | it's fear, but at least you were right about the polished part. |
| 7 | Aqvilea | "Activm" | single | If you are journeying into danger, what you want is not a tensile exoskeleton, |
| 8 | Enchantya | "All Down in Flames" | single | it's a bathysphere and a retrieval ship. |
| 9 | Synthwailer | "Dream Pantheon" | single | In the movie version, the bathysphere is a motive transparency, |
| 10 | Beyond God | "Frostbite" | single | not a mute vault on a wishful tether, |
| 11 | Ignea | "Nomad's Luck" | single | and this is what our expeditionary technology aspires to: |
| 12 | Moyra | "Bloody Hands" | single | safe spaces for self-propelled regard. |
| 13 | ODC | "Lost in a Circle" | single | In the movie version, |
| 14 | Setanera | "The Promise" | Equilibrium | armor is accentuation for musculature |
| 15 | Smackbound | "Change" | single | or vulnerability, |
| 16 | Cyan Kicks | "Into You" | Into You +1 | and better when it's the latter, |
| 17 | Bullet to the Heart | "Graveyard Lovers" | single | and this is also what our reticence should aspire to: |
| 18 | Blind Hex | "Dystopia" | single | wild attraction whenever our gravity is undirected, |
| 19 | Sirgaus | "Sotto una Luna Crescente" | L'Anguana e la Gemma del Mare Ancestrale | so at least there's some weak force holding us together. |
| 20 | Faun | "Ylfa Spere" | single | This is why, although our fantasies make take innumerable personal forms, |
| 21 | Wegferend | "Holy Ghost" | single | when we share them they so often manifest as naked magnificence |
| 22 | Frozen Crown | "Fire in the Sky" | single | glistening in either luminous or incandescent light. |
| 23 | Kardinal Sin | "They Crashed In The Storm" | They Crashed In The Storm +1 | But it's also why the tantalizing technical challenge of synthesizing ideals |
| 24 | Dark The Suns | "Phoenix" | single | is inherently self-negating: |
| 25 | Creye | "How Far" | III: Weightless | the product manager knows that no individual hero is ever maximally heroic, |
| 26 | First Signal | "Unbreakable" | Face Your Fears | and thus that we can train an arbitrarily more beautiful goddess than any mortal. |
| 27 | Seventh Crystal | "Million Times" | single | Technology recapitulates teleology, |
| 28 | Steel Rhino | "Blades" | single | but without the purpose. |
| 29 | Robin McAuley | "When the Time Has Come" | Alive | Our collective idols are perfected by our devotion, |
| 30 | L.A. Guns | "Rewind" | single | not trained on their own features. |
| 31 | Black Nazareth | "True Self" | single | The natural equilibrium of art is omnipresence, |
| 32 | Periphery | "Atropos" | Atropos +2 | despite centuries of apparent counter-precedence |
| 33 | Kamelot | "Opus of the Night (Ghost Requiem) (feat. Tina Guo)" | Opus of the Night (Ghost Requiem) 2 | imposed as much by the media's capacitances as their resistances. |
| 34 | Haken | "Lovebite" | Lovebite +3 | What Warhol welcomed was not the imminent dissolution of hierarchical celebrity, |
| 35 | Aragon | "The Calm Before The Storm" | single | but the serene cognizance that the unfamous were never any more deserving of obscurity |
| 36 | Creye | "In the Shadows" | III: Weightless | than the famous were of worship. |
| 37 | FRUITPOCHETTE | "MIRAI -I don't give a damn-" | MIRAI -I don't give a damn- +1 | In the future, the distances between us are subject to instantaneous collapse. |
| 38 | ALICETOPIA | "Butterfly Mirage" | single | Andy, for an artist with a love for the numerable, |
| 39 | Quubi | "The voice you saved" | Take me now 3 | was a few orders of magnitude off with his math. |
| 40 | FaM | "Evergreen" | single | In the equitable future, assuming life-expectancy and world population remain implausibly in roughly current proportion, |
| 41 | GRATIA-ALA | "familiar" | single | we may each be world-famous for about half a second. |
| 42 | BiSH | "ジターバグ" | single | But quarter-hour or half-second irrespective, |
| 43 | Shonen Knife | "MUJINTO Rock" | Our Best Place | the point is that any of us are equally worthy of collective awe, |
| 44 | NEO JAPONISM | "BLACK JAM" | BLACK JAM +1 | and thus of course the correct subject of awe is not superlativity |
| 45 | SENKYOKU | "Sashitahikariha" | single | but individuality. |
| 46 | THE ORCHESTRA TOKYO | "Be BRIGHT" | Be BRIGHT +1 | ChatGPT is a terrible idea, |
| 47 | Kannagi Rabbits | "Nanaironohouseki" | SANKA | but it's a transformationally intriguing terrible idea. |
| 48 | GLAY | "限界突破" | HC 2023 episode 1 -THE GHOST/限界突破- 4 | Now we know that it's possible to build a machine that reifies our collective mediocrity. |
| 49 | kanon | "hikari" | single | Until a half-second ago, it was possible to believe that functional adequancy was enough |
| 50 | kobore | "リバイブレーション" | リバイブレーション / うざ。 / STRAWBERRY 3 | to justify the expenditure of scarce human volition. |
| 51 | a flood of circle | "くたばれマイダーリン" | 花降る空に不滅の歌を | It's not just that you should never use a Large Language Model to write your own verses, |
| 52 | Ivy to Fraudulent Game | "B.O.Y." | single | it's that you should never again write a sentence that the LLM could have written under your name |
| 53 | FLOW | "Voyage" | single | without the touch of your skin. |
| 54 | Novelbright | "ラストシーン" | single | It's not the machines who are learning, |
| 55 | Merta | "Kaamos" | single | so it's either us or nobody. |
| 56 | David Bisbal | "Ajedrez" | single | All the sentences we've written |
| 57 | Sebastian Yatra | "Una Noche Sin Pensar" | single | since the dawn of meticulously recorded time, |
| 58 | Jaula de Grillos | "Lennon" | single | are now permanent and need not be restated to persist. |
| 59 | Joven Dolores | "Arena" | single | Say something new: |
| 60 | Diagnóstico Binario | "Golpe de efecto" | single | new in words, new in their new order, new in the way your particular voice squeezes them |
| 61 | Comandante Twin | "Tu Primera Fila" | single | as they attempt escape. |
| 62 | Da Igual | "María De La O" | single | Catch a necessary passing consonant in your teeth. |
| 63 | OV7 | "Quédate" | single | Miss a crucial beat with zealous precision, |
| 64 | Sofia Ellar | "Cuento Conmigo" | single | or if that isn't enough, miss an expendable one with indelible vitality. |
| 65 | Ventino | "Qué Fácil - Banda Sonora Original De La Serie De Televisión" | Ventino: El Precio De La Gloria (Banda Sonora Original De La Serie De Televisión) | All we ask from the present ghosts of our future ghosts |
| 66 | Tenille Arts | "Last Time Last" | single | is that they stand here in the room |
| 67 | P!nk | "When I Get There" | TRUSTFALL | and say "It's me" in way that we will remember vividly enough |
| 68 | Minke Brits | "Bou Aan 'n Vrou" | single | that it sounds different when we say it again later ourselves. |
| 69 | Petra | "Haluun et mua sattuu" | single | The implicit jeopardy of AI mush |
| 70 | Hanna Pakarinen | "Täydellinen myrsky" | single | may be coalesced by interrogating it not as "you" |
| 71 | ISLA LAVANDA | "Poliamor" | single | but as "we". |
| 72 | Matisse | "Héroe" | single | What has the inertia of our stochastic civilization taught us to expect |
| 73 | Tanukichan | "Take Care" | Take Care +3 | without thinking or caring? |
| 74 | Irrevocable | "Generational Curses" | Generational Curses 5 | A pertinent AI would cut us off as we have only started typing: |

| 102 | Kelly Khumalo | "Isivikelo" | From A God To A King | when we feel the rising roar of wrong answers whose rhythms we have learned to love. |
| 103 | Son of Africa | "Pfungwa neNdangariro Dembo style" | single | Andy, did you ever hear "redacted" in a pop song, |
| 104 | Freddy K | "Ngisenalo U'thando" | single | and do you know how to not say a word in Zulu? |

| 110 | The Catalina | "Smokescreen" | Smokescreen +2 | Robots do not take our work from us, |
| 111 | Jakub Zytecki | "The Change" | Remind Me | they give us new kinds of time: |
| 112 | Andromida | "Paradox" | single | as a charged substrate through which we throw off sparks; |
| 113 | CHILD | "Hate Well Spent" | Meditations In Filth | as a crisis blast we can definitionally survive; |
