The Hu released a track this month. Didn’t even get to the longlist!
Trident - Sugars Song
Country of Origin: No idea
Youtube Views: 9
Spotify Link: https://open.spotify.com/track/5dfZRevvebO6IfeVBS5Frr?si=fac13bd6755b49fb
Video Link: https://youtu.be/Dotb5cL-yGA?si=jdR7a-NAR2r3q9Wb
Can’t find a video. I’m not even really sure who the artist is. I’ve searched for Trident on multiple sites. The seems to be two million artists called Trident none of whom sound like one another and all of which are filed under the name Trident. It could be written by a deranged AI for all I know. I’m pretty sure they mess up rhyming onions & bunions. But I like the bassline vibe.

It’s like dreampop and shoegaze had a slightly depressed baby.
Rolling Quartz - Red Hot
Country of Origin: South Korea
Youtube Views: 274k, I think half of them might be my toe beans pressing F5

Video Link: https://youtu.be/6J7K9Wi8uJ4?si=ncH-18mCJJp6PErZ
I like this pop / rock / slightly metal song. I like the video. For some reason the drummer in the video absolutely cracks me up. Hence in this list. There’s also a joke about poop I don’t understand.

The video has rats, traffic cones, teddy bears and all sorts of stuff happening. I don’t really know what it is about but I am here for it.
There may also be a man dressed as a giant baby?

Sometimes when lounging in the sun I see the fattest of my humans dancing like this.
It’s distressing.
Runners Up: Big Guns
A couple of significant acts released songs that never made it into the top ten
BTS (방탄소년단) - SWIM
Country of Origin: South Korea
Youtube Views: 62 million

Ado - AiAiA
Country of Origin: Japan
Youtube Views: 1.4 million

Video Link: https://youtu.be/_8CNByAq1n4?si=rfaDxJsJjdZmHi6J
The mysterious Ado releases this odd number from the deranged circus music genre. The 1Tak video is the best version.
Toxicitiyuri
For some reason all these songs clumped in my head. I don’t know why.
MYERA - Crushproof
Country of Origin: Japan

“An everlasting life only ends up not knowing what to do with it. “
A different philosophy from YENA
Endings
All flesh is grass and therefore this edition comes to an end.
So many good songs never made it on this list. POLKADOT STINGRAY with ‘Boy Boy’ was robbed.
Listen to the long list and let me know if you think anything should have made it in.
Stanley.
A Cat. Nyaa.
