Also, Scigatt--
I think you read me right on your suggestion. I listened to it twice and I feel that while it can land for someone else, it's wide of me.

Baaaaaaaaaaa.

I had a feeling my song would be very polarizing, so glad it wound up being the good kind of polarizing, at least.

yeah, i've been trending to the discover weekly playlist on spotify. it took a solid few months before it got anything super good but now there's bangers every week that are on my playlists. this is one of those songs

My experience with Spotify was quite different. It immediately found 4 banger songs in a few weeks*, but then the rate slowed down. (Those songs were my submissions in contests 147, 149, 150, and 152. None of them broke the top 10.)

*It actually found 6, but one has already been submitted, and the other I don't feel like submitting.

I'll admit that there are some off weeks but those weeks were also weeks where I played shitty music in a loop. I think it does a good job from what it has.

[Plotinus]

congrats, Hiraki!

[Knightmare491]

I'm grateful to everyone who liked my entry.
Y'all can check out Coke studio on YouTube, they have lots of melodious content.

So sorry for missing the deadline. I had a lot of stuff going on this weekend and I totally forgot about this. Probably should serve me as a reminder *not* to procrastinate on voting till the last minute possible, but I mean, I'm an INFP. It's the MO of my life.
