Crazygood round, this about to be harddd finalizing rankings - best of luck every1!

Doechii — BEVERLY HILLS Pretty on-par with the second Amaarae track in here in terms of the feeling I get when listening (a good comment though this may fall short of my Top10 given the competition). Chxrry — Call Security I'm cracking UPPPP as I'm listening to the track I'm thinking there's some Weeknd influence / they'd sound good together & was curious if she's signed or independent — come to find out she's signed on XO / Republic hahahaaaa!!! I like her tone / feel / soundscape a lot!!! Another new artist&song discovery in here. The Weeknd — Open Hearts Screeeeaaaammmiiiinnnnggggg @ The Weeknd having a track up next. Re: The Entry — >inserts Monique's "oh she's taking it" clip< FKA twigs — Perfect Stranger This is prettynice though I prefer the earlier track she has by the top of the playlist.

St. Vincent — Broken Man LOVE this / WHAT a new discovery! tysm4sending!!! Blümchen — Rosa Walke … Amaarae, Bree Runway & Starkillers — Starkilla I miss Bree / I love that they collab'd. Sadly I'm not super-into this track, mayb I just don't 'get' it / it'll grow on me overtime. Still wanna check this album out eventually. BRONZE AVERY — HEATWAVE Very cute / would rank high in a regular-type round, but I am more keen on many previous entries at this pt in the playlist. Blood Orange — Champagne Coast Like the approach with this choice a lot, hmmmmmmm, another tough Top10-or-not-Top10 decision. Amaarae — Reckless & Sweet Feeling this1 much more atm than the other submission.

cupcakKe — Squidward Nose Screeamiiinnggg veryglad to see cupcakKe here as a mega-fan of hers. A non-sex-track pick (Image, Interruption, Ace Hardware, etc.) woulda gotten my 12pts immediately but this round is definitely about mass appeal so I get it! At least a pt from me regardless! PinkPantheress — Stars Ahhhh I didn't realize she wasn't banned pre-round missed the opportunity to submit her. Had a lovely time attending her latest show & all the mixtape tracks sounded gr888888 live, this being no exception. Laava — Wherever You Are (I Feel Love) I LOVE the nostalgia factor here. Gets washed by a couple other entries but I'm very tempted to throw a pt or two your way. Interested to see how the audience responds to this1 as well.

horsegiirL — only the best Getting hints of PinkPantheress, Lana & a couple other influences I can't put my finger on. But there's also more of a mainstream / Electro feel / a secret unique ingredient. Very pleasantly surprised by this / would love to hear a future entry in a future season. FKA twigs — HARD Another artist that I should be more familiar w their discography. LOVE this entry / feelin it lotsssss you guys are not playyyiiiiinngggg this round llllliiiiiikkkeeeee. Empress Of — Save Me Prettysolid. Would rank high for me in a regular-type round but I'm leaning towards other entries more already. ngl I'm a little relieved for stress-of-tight-ranking purposes hahaaaa.

JoJo f/ Demi Lovato — Lonely Hearts (Remix) VocalCity whewww sender here is hungry for a comeback. Was absolutely OBSESSED with the OG version when it dropped pre-GTK release. GTK was a highlight album during COVID for me. Haven't played the Remix as much but I definitely love hearing it in this playlist / pts are locked from me x Flo Milli — Bed Time The URGENCY?!?! OhWOW I haven't heard a Flo track where she spits like this!!! — ALSO givin 'hungry for a comeback' / I'm LOVING the competitiveness in this playlist now. Foxes — Forgive Yourself WHAT in the 1-2-3 punch is going ONNNNNNN this is why I LOOOOVEEEEEE the comeback rounds (& ASC in general really) whewwwwww the deliverance!!!!!!!!! jfdspoaifjenadsa can't even be mad that I might have no shot @ this pt. This is also a new track [in general] for me / lovely discovery! Lemme go listen to Body Talk rq though before resuming.

P!nk — Split Personality VERY surprised to see a P!nk submission though name-wise she's such an obvious choice for this round. If this ends up being 11th / 12th on my list I might have to inflate a pt or two just for the shock factor & the fact that her "OG music" had many unappreciated / overlooked factors for me (though this particular track is new for me). Oklou — thank you for recording Feel like this coulda gotten a point or two from me in a regular-type round but I don't foresee it makin my Top10 for this1. COBRAH — Platinum Pretty fun / I liked it. Very curious to see where this ends up ranking in the results. Lights — COME GET YOUR GIRL Was excited by the title & the track delivered / was prettynice / feeling satisfied!

Ari Lennox — New Apartment Veryyyyy groovy / I'm likin this lots. I remember lots of friends / acquaintances oncampus raving over this proj when it came out. Definitely a reminder of Ari's talent & re-motivator for me to check it out in full. AViVA — DOC MARTENS Cute-cute. Curious to see how the competition stacks / if this will end up in my Top10 or not.

kbleax — bitchunt Doesn't do anything4me, sadly. SZA — Kitchen Is there a sample in this? Something sounds familiar hmmmmm. Prettypleasant listen. Scene Queen — Hot Singles in Your Area The artist & song title definitely had me thinking the song would sound different. First half was interesting / I was prepared to be surprised but come second half I wasn't a fan of the vocal & a couple other elements of the song. Chappell Roan — Guilty Pleasure I feel like a bad musicfan for still not having listened to this album in full. I definitely hear the appeal.

She touched on it in the interview. Timbaland reached out to her through IG after watching some of her beat-making / self-producing videos + they started sending each other files back&forth. She stated they worked on 20-30tracks together & liked the idea of putting a joint mixtape out. It'll be interesting if anything additional makes the third album!

The JADE + Tove senders got it RIGHT, whewwwww rooting for y'all

Confirmed in her Call Her Daddy interview @ the 1Hour mark. Being mixed by Chris Godbey, who mixed / engineered tracks on In Pieces & Resurrection. Loved her first two albums + the new proj she put out with Timbaland; this should be interesting! Hopefully the rollout isn't beginning too far from now!

i'm ctfuuuu i think this is the second time i've "elim'd myself" smh that Jill Scott song deserved better!!! ty 4 those that gave pts / realexcited to see what the theme 4 the comeback ia!

Jennifer Lopez — Hypnotico Glad to see that sum1 submitted her this round — she's got some gems in her albums forsure. Cute start to the round. Susumu Hirasawa — On Line Malaysia Very unexpected kinda entry here. The way it's mixed / mastered is VERY good. Stylistically I can see myself being more keen on the upcoming entries (some I already know/love)… but I'm quite-slight-pleasantly-surprised?! Hmmmmmmmmm. Lily Allen f/ JADE — Beg for Me (Remix) Mad as **** 'cause I tried submitting Lily but she was already banned fhudhipjaofweh8fujidsoaf; Love the album + love JADE so points are a no-brainer. Björk — I See Who You Are A risk I will be rewarding. Lots of beautiful / interesting elements going on here x RuPaul — Just What They Want I love a good Ru listen here&there including this track. Have no clue where this'll rank / depends on the competition (I know this is vague / not helpful I'm tired y'all fhdsua9hfdpafhdas) Madonna — Danceteria Whewww grats on snatching this Winner [clapsclapsclaps] x Metric — Underline the Black Song's not "bad" at all just not for me. Katy Perry — Watch It Burn Took the risk that I couldn't this round. My favorite track of hers she's dropped in years! Malla — Pieni exit Waaiiiittt I'm moving a little. Vocal is realsmooth over this production. This round's quite stacked hmmmmm but I'm very tempted to give this a pt outta "new discovery bias" hmmmmm. Bruno Mars — Something Serious Solid entry / no complaints. Jill Scott — Pay U on Tuesday Completely forgot she dropped a proj this year / made a "return". Love how much she didn't give a **** on this track & still made it sound SO GOOD musically — undeniable / legendary talent thank you for sending!!! Dido — Hurricanes Nice-nice ending to this playlist.

Isabella Lovestory — Vanity Aaaahhh, sonice to see/hear her here again (discovered her through sum1 sending Mariposa one season). Liked this track lots & I would love to see her live one day! Juliana Gattas — Borracha en un Baño Ajeno The production allover this is GREAT, kind of carries the song imo. Can't predict where I'll rank this just yet hmmmm let's see how the competition stacks up. Emilia — Facts.mp3 Very-very catchy & love the production - I'm feelin it. Tainy & Bad Bunny — MOJABI GHOST I'm crackinup @ the BB sneak. Very pleasant / easy / boppin listen though I liked it. Kali Uchis — vaya con dios Round of applause for the Sin Miedo representation as it's her most underrated proj. "te pongo mal" or "de nadie" woulda gotten my 12pts easy (idk if they're banned) but this is still superb / getting realhigh pts from me. Shakira — Octavo Día This Half-Colombian x Half-Lebanese Queen of the GLOBE iktr. Having her here during World Cup SZN only feels CORRECT. Fantastic choice from her / DELL tracks are always welcome. Bentley Robles — CHAOTIC EROTICA Realinteresting entry. Several elements of the song I loved, other elements had me on the fence. Gonna need to see how the competition stacks up for this1 as well. Marta Movidas — Vamos a la sombra Looooove the piano allover this. Very cute for the Summertime. Belanova — Me Pregunto Got into some of their stuff after they were submitted in a previous ASC as well. This is one of their "classic" tracks, I think? Sohappy I discovered it some yrs back & it's a real clever entry here. Pts!!! María Daniela y su Sonido Lasser — Pobre Estúpida (Amigas y Rivales Mix) The title has me screamin. Very entertaining entry & the "más" parts are so catchy, I think I love it? Shirel — Otra Mujer Okay, a pretty different feel compared to the rest of the playlist / stands out a bit. DANNA — AGAIN Okayy, a little lite Bilingual action here, prettycute. Competition's stiff this round but this might get a pt or two from me. Belén Aguilera — Como en un Drama Italiano I'm crackinup, it looks like Electro-drops-in-Half-Two-of-songs is an unofficial theme goin on in this playlist. I favor this entry compared to some of the others that fit that category. Hijos — Fatal Cute choice stylistically / I like that it's different, but [for me] kinda gets crushed by many other entries in this playlist. Hmmmmm might have to do a second pass of some of the songs very torn between certain positions / pts for several tracks. Great round / playlist overall!!!!!

Nelly Furtado — Honesty Pretty cute opener. No critiques. Jessie Ware — Save a Kiss Completely forgot how much I adored this song. Great-great pick. Kill J — Mama Taught Me Well fdsjaoipjfdspai I'm sorry I'm tryin to seriously listen to this but I'm crackinup all throughout. Kilo Kish — digital emotional Mmmm production is interesting but couldn't get into this1 overall. Jorja Smith — Little Things x Gypsy Woman fff; This is a realrandom pick but I like some Jorja so whynot. Woulda preferred her new single gotten submitted (though idk if it charted or not), but this'll do. Claudia Bouvette — BITE THE APPLE Not sure if it's something I'd check out on my own but the instrumentation's good / I did enjoy it better than at least one other entry thus far. Hayley Williams — Parachute Hayley's always welcome. Still needa get into her solo stuff post-debut album so I'm realhappy she's submitted here — great submission I liked it lots. Kelela — Raven This song/album is "aging" realwell (idk if it's too soon to say so?). Beautiful allaround. Sophie Ellis-Bextor — Off & On Saving this!!!!! I only knew a couple tracks from her prior but perhaps I should dive into her discography. Really hope the crowd gives this pts / this deserves a high placement! Jockstrap — Glasgow Very interesting stuff goin on structure-wise & production-wise though idk if all the elements on the song are for me. Might bump the ranking up one spot just for the risk / thought into the submission though — this was definitely a more "interesting" listen for me compared to an entry or two here. Erika de Casier — Two Thieves I'm crackinup I feel like I've heard so much of her over the yrs here in ASC, but I've enjoyed just about every song of hers sent in. Enjoyed this1 lots as well ty!

britneyspears - welljusthavetowait&see.mp4

Halsey — I am not a woman, i'm a god Fits the round decent. Ladytron — Weekend I could tell that this was created quite some years ago but in a good way, idk how to explain it — like the feeling I get when listening to it & very cute allaround. Mylène Farmer — Paradis inanimé Similar to the Kesha entry in here I wish there was a little more Electro going on, but I enjoyed the other elements of the song. Maria Daniela Y Su Sonido Lasser — Duri Duri Cute closer - I'm into it.

Miss Kittin & The Hacker — Frank Sinatra im ctfuuuu I was wondering if sum1 was gonna take the route of instrumental-only or club-narration this round. This got more outta pocket as the song went on LMAO. I woulda loved it so much more if the narration made more actual Sinatra / retro references instead of random horny narration fffffff; Will probably still give this a pt tho, I was entertained afterall. Cannelle — FILLE The random English lyrics had me cryin. Another entertaining1; I liked how dynamic the production was most. Vive La Fête — Noir Désir I liked the approach / production / structure of the song, but I couldn't really get into the vocal. AMARA ctk100 f/ DBBD — SWEAT It's cute. Natalia Kills — Controversy Used to loooooveeeeee this song back when this album gained traction on the web. Pleasantly surprised to see it here / still holds up 4sure. Bebe Rexha — I'm The Drama The song in general is cute but I'm not sure if I like it for this round. 'DIRTY BLONDE' has been on repeat tho x

Slayyyter — CRANK Welppppppp & the winner is.......!!!!!!!! [clapemotes] Kesha — Party At A Rich Dude's House A CLASSIC. Surprised this isn't banned. Not the most "electroclash"-ish choice off the album (not to be the genre police here but I do wanna give the more electro-sounding sounds a chance this round especially new discoveries)… BUT this will def be getting pts from me. Christina Aguilera — I Hate Boys Screamin @ this entry. I have no clu how I'll rank this1.

ayyy tyty 4 keeping me safe x Great Top3 for GroupA as well!

Portraits of Tracy — The Party This sounds SO nice in HQ headphones. Lots of lovely layers / elements allaround. The engineers put in OT on this1; shoutout to them! G Flip — 7 Days Not something I'd necessarily seek out on my own / revisit, but could perhaps be distinct in this round. Cavetown — Devil Town The guitar switchup towards the end sold me on the song. I'm glad so far some range genre-wise is goin on this round; I think this'll be a tough round to rank! Eli — Girl of Your Dreams Very 2000s from the artwork down to the vocal delivery. I wish there was just a bit more overall, but nice job / early contender for pts! Quay Dash — Bossed Up Loved this1 lots. I recognize the NY tone - feel like I've heard them submitted in ASC in a previous season. Jane Remover — Flash in the Pan YUP!!! Loved this so much / what a nice discovery / this is why I LOVE ASC! Love dynamic music like this whewwww. Would definitely check out more from this artist on my own time / in the future / get acquainted w their music. Ethel Cain — Sun Bleached Flies Was nervous when I first hit "play" / saw the length, but there's enough profession here that kept me engaged. Not sure if it's something I'd check out on my own, but it does have that "beautiful" quality to it allaround. Ayesha Erotica f/ Petey Plastic — Princess La Bella Vita woulda gotten my 12pts whewwwwwwww (unless it's banned idk). Still, Ayesha is a legend & this will do. Fever Ray — Keep the Streets Empty for Me Mmm wasn't feeling this1. Demi Lovato f/ Rose Gray — Joshua Tree Love Controller was RIGHT there / woulda gotten my 12pts. This is still cute / getting pts though. Janelle Monáe f/ Doechii — Phenomenal I feel like I was in the minority that liked TAOP fff; Butyeah this is one of the better songs on there forsure. Her & Doechii have great chemistry + the fact that it's Summertime favors you / this entry as well! Rooting for you. Claud — Jordan Quite cute! If it doesn't get pts from me I'm rooting for you to advance to the next round! Hunnygloss — Drop Dead This was more of the kinda music I was expecting heading into the round. The placement in this playlist favors you real well / adds to the range overall. The song itself I liked! — there's a catchiness goin on & the length is just right. The Knife — Marble House Hmmmmm I think I might pass on this1 / enjoyed other entries more.

Holly Humberstone — Lucy Totally missed this when I was reviewing the other songs in the playlist; mybad! Usually this music isn't for me, but I did like her vocal layering & the length was perfect. Might give it a pt or two. KHYA & Heni — MARYJANE (CBD DUB) 133BPM Another smooth / easy / pleasant listen. Robyn — Into the Sun Still needa check this album out. This is a very nice taste! Katy Perry — Legendary Lovers A classic! Glad it's getting so much attention nowadays. Taylor Swift — Midnight Rain First time listening to this & it's another smooth / pleasant listen (not to be lazy / repetitive w my critiques). I was expecting to have "passed" on more songs at this pt; hmmmm y'all are doing realnice this round. Carly Rae Jeosen — Guardian Angel First time hearing this as well. Much more instant for me / up my alley, though it's too short!! Omarion — Midnight This paid off w me! Distinct choice / stands out & it's a quality track. Pts!!! Michelle Branch — Tuesday Morning Mmm on the flipside, though I appreciate this being distinct, I'm not feelin it in this moment. Competition this round was stronger than I envisioned, too.

Madison Beer — lovergirl Very pleasantly surprised with this1. The engineering on this is especially great-great-great!
