i like your playlist, boy, turn it up a little louder
a never-ending midnight sun!

we're back again for another season of ATRL's Song Contest! in baby z's era, we've got @mokitsu @Overprotected @Element @Tom Vercetti @Kelp @Fruity and our latest winner @Post Malone as an ASC trophy holder from each season. now who will be this year winner? let's see who's gonna bring it in #ASC2026... our TWENTY-SECOND season with me, baby z, as your host, along with the amazing production team, clue, touch it, and staryu

thank you @clue for these amazing graphics we love and we stan!

This season, the banned artists list has been lifted. No one is banned, yet. Once artist is used TWICE, they will be banned and cannot be submitted again (unless they're a featured artist).

There are some adjustment to the rules like where you can send the entries and rankings so please read them again.

There will be a HUB server on discord where everyone can have fun together but rounds and critiques and results will be done here on ATRL. If you want the link to the hub, message me.

What are the rules?

Quote

1. Singles are allowed, but cannot have charted in the Top 50 of their home country (which varies. For example, with Nicki I'd say the US) or the Top 100 of anywhere else. All album tracks/promo singles are allowed at my discretion x

2. Each round will have a category for the song(s) that you must submit, such as a foreign language song or a song by a male artist. However, I will only check if your song is in the banned songs list or not. If your song doesn't fit the criteria from the round (which should be your job to check), and someone exposes you, you will be halved.

3. Once you use an artist, you cannot use them again in the season. (PLEASE KEEP TRACK OF THE ARTIST YOU HAVE USED BY YOURSELF)

4. If more than one contestant sends the same song, the contestant that sent the song first gets to use it, so remember to send one or two back-up songs just in case this happens

5. If your song isn't on Spotify, send a working link to the song or we will spank you

6. You just take part each round; you'll get 1-2 days to send in a song, and 2-3 days to rank them (these usually get smaller as the game progresses). If everyone does it early, y'all get the results early

7. Every decision @thecptz makes is correct; I will f*** you up with my power

8. Post as many times as you can!

9. Please post your critiques every round. We need ratings and you are going to give them to us.

10. Please submit your entry to me via Discord [thecptz] (PREFERRED) or ATRL PM (NOT PREFERRED). Discord submissions get priority! I am begging you to send by Discord if you have an account because I hate ATRL PMs. If you stupidly decide to send by ATRL PM, please know that Discord will be checked first and also keep it in a single PM for the entire season. (Thank you, Auburn)

11. You must keep your song ANONYMOUS until the results!

Twist
The winner for each round will get to choose the theme for the next round and some additional power.

things to note for this season:

1. banned artists list has been lifted! an artist can be used TWICE until they get banned. (they can be a featured artist after they're banned tho just the same, loophole!)

2. please submit an entry through DISCORD (thecptz) if you have an account there (and if you don't get blocked by me x). it's fine if you don't have an account and want to submit on here, however, i will be able to approve things on discord faster than on here.

3. there's a DISCORD HUB! pm me for link if you want but rounds, entries, crits, and results will be HERE on ATRL.

4. if atrl is being a ***** and we can't access a server for too long, this is gonna get moved to discord x

yall have played a season(s) hosted by me so ping yall  might get pinged a lot!
