I'd imagine the songs from Tyler the Creator's last two albums will dominate the list, but I really want to see someone sends Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell or Tyler Childers to this.

Here's our exit interview with Yabby Barrett (Beno & taylor is terrified)
How do you feel about your time in race?
Beno: I really enjoyed it! These games are great fun and Tay was an awesome partner, their suggestions for some songs earlier really carried our team through a few rounds lol. It was also good to play with someone I’m not as close with on pulse, it was super cool getting to know Tay a bit better!
Tay: I feel that country music is an acquired taste. Kimberly's vocals are heavenly and this song just means so much to me personally as I relate to quite a lot of it and interpret it a certain way that makes me really feel it. It's genuinely among my favorite songs of all time. :/ That's the beauty of music tho! One person's flop is another person's bop, I guess. Glad I got to work with Beno this season and I feel really bad for wasting his incredible detour performance
Do you think you could've/should've done anything different?
Beno: I mean probably not tbh, we stuck to our guns and sent songs that we genuinely enjoy each round which is the more fun way to play games like this imo
Tay: I could've sent a Conan Gray song at some point instead but he's so underrated it oughta be declared a crime against humanity, meaning anything I sent from him wouldn't have likely received too much of a different reception, so we'd be here exiting anyways lol. No, but seriously, stop sleeping on him. He's got new music coming soon; it's the perfect time to catch up on some of the absolute best music released in the last five years. Oh lol also you know what; I was thinking immediately this leg of having us choose Taylor Swift's "Red" for the detour but I know damn well this exit would've been even more embarrassing lmao
Any predictions?
Beno: Team Don’t Lecture Me Obi-Wan has the high ground
Tay: Anne-Marie's Ninjas are about to make a comeback stronger than The Emancipation of Mimi! The collapse is coming; brace yourselves.

Bouncing back after a couple mediocre legs is...
1. Anne-Marie's Ninjas (MoD & maine )Overall Score: 74 | Detour Rank: #1 | Roadblock Rank: #4 | Bonus From Last Leg: +0.6Detour Results:
(Own Name)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.5)District: funnily enough I think mod might've showed me this song lol. I love this a lot! (10)Cynthia: boppppppppppp! The taste is really jumping out with this round. It's just now occurring to me though that this is one of the few times I was sober while listening to this. A red cup house party flashback. (9.8)Beno: This song is so obviously excellent that I don’t really know what more I can say about it lol. It’s almost a shame that these guys pretty much debuted with this song bc they’ll likely not reach these heights ever again (9.1)Overall Score: 38.4
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by MoD)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.7)
District: His best song by a long shot. (9.7)
Adrian: Probably an expected choice, but one of my favorite songs of the past decade nonetheless. The instrumental is flawless and the song is beautifully written. It's 8 minutes and doesn't even feel that long. It's just amazing from start to end. (9.6)
Tay: Not a fan of JT, sorry. This is one of his hits I can tolerate tho. (6)
Overall Score: 35
Though you two struggled the past couple legs, you did great this round and got your second leg win — the only team to have two! You'll get a +2.1 bonus next leg.

Finishing strong for the third leg in a row...
2. Born to Jugg (born & CagedJuggalo The Third Tanker )Overall Score: 72.6 | Detour Rank: #6 | Roadblock Rank: #2 | Bonus From Last Leg: +2.3Detour Results:
(Disk Frame)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (8.8)District: (8.6)Cynthia: I'm admittedly not a big Pink Floyd fan, but whenever I do listen them I have to ask myself why, because you really can't miss with PF. (8.5)Beno: My work, which normally plays the most cookie-cutter pop music (“Leave The Door Open” is about as close to rap as they go) played this song the other day and I was lowkey floored at the time lol. This song is real good, I’m not really sure what more to say about it tbh, shoutout to whoever picked this song for reminding me of a very blissful 4 or so minutes at work (8.3)Overall Score: 34.2
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by Born)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (8.9)
District: elliott smith is life. (9.2)
Adrian: This song feels very soothing and very peaceful. There's not a whole lot musically, but it works. I love how the guitar sounds and I really love his voice. (9)
Tay: This song was incredible! I live for the acoustic, country-like production! (9)
Overall Score: 36.1
After struggling a bit to start the race, you two have managed to find some consistency in the upper ranks recently. You'll get a +1.6 bonus next leg.

Being in third for the third straight leg is...
3. Team Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan. I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do. I have brought peace... freedom, justice and security to my new empire. Your new empire? Don't make me kill you. Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy! (filthy & tanooki )Overall Score: 72.3 | Detour Rank: #7 | Roadblock Rank: #1 | Bonus From Last Leg: +1.6Detour Results:
(Own Name)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.5)District: (9)Cynthia: my brain has a habit of picking and chooseing when it wants to latch on to classic rock and for some reason it never latched on to much of The Smiths. But as soon as I clicked play this felt like I've known it my whole life even if I haven't. (8.5)Beno: I lowkey kinda struggle with what I think of this one. I love the breeziness of the instrumental to this, but old mate Morrissey sounds like he’s singing with a peg stuck on his nose and it just takes me out of the zone every time. The Smiths in general are pretty hit or miss with me in general, and idk which category this lands in for me. I’m inclined to be charitable here though given how I still like how it sounds (6.7)Overall Score: 33.7
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by Tanooki)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.6)
District: (8.9)
Adrian: Definitely the expected choice from MJ. It is still a great song without a doubt. Just not my personal favorite from him and not my favorite of his songs in this set. (8.5)
Tay: Timeless classic!!! He’s the King of Pop for a reason! (10)
Overall Score: 37
You two have been solidly in third place for half the race now! You'll get a +1.4 bonus next leg.

Holding in 4th place is...
4. Weezer (willapted33 & ramona wants sleep )Overall Score: 71.9 | Detour Rank: #4 | Roadblock Rank: #6 | Bonus From Last Leg: +1.4Detour Results:
(Disk Frame)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.3)District: folklore is also my life, this isn't even in my top 5 from the album (9.5)Cynthia: this is a fine song, mainly disadvantaged by almost everyone else picking big classics. (8)Beno: I feel like this pick was absolutely made with Tay and I in mind as judges lmao. This is my favourite Taylor song by a fairly large margin, the way it’s written is excellent and Justin gives a phenomenal performance that kinda makes me wish he used his lower register in more Bon Iver songs tbh. I love so many of the smaller details about this duet, the interplay between the two is just about as on point as it could get. (9.2)Overall Score: 36
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by Ramona)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.4)
District: (9)
Adrian: Gwen Stefani's solo career really hasn't lived up to what she did with No Doubt, but I do have a thing for this song. Maybe it's just the infectious "woohoo, yeehoo"'s that carry the song for me, but it does have a slick instrumental that never seemed to get old. (9.1)
Tay: This one was alright; I just wish it had a little something more to give, ya know? (7)
Overall Score: 34.5
Perhaps you two are finally getting into a solid groove with back to back high placements! You'll get a +1.2 bonus next leg.

Continuing to move up through the ranks is...
5. Mylo Shark (Mylo13 💜 & razorshark )Overall Score: 71.2 | Detour Rank: #3 | Roadblock Rank: #8 | Bonus From Last Leg: +1Detour Results:
(Disk Frame)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.7)District: (8.1)Cynthia: this is my most favorite Beatles song. Beautifully melancholic...no matter how many times I listen to this the twist at the end where Eleanor and Father McKenzie only cross paths because one is eulogizing the other always gets me. Amazing storytelling. (10)Beno: Definitely my preferred Beatles song this round and one of my favourite Beatles songs in general, I love the way they incorporated the strings and just how the song flows in general, great pick guys(: (8.3)Overall Score: 36.1
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by Razor)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (7.6)
District: This may be my favourite Bjork song, at least that I can recall lol. Love the sounds here. (8.8)
Adrian: I've been meaning to dig into Björk's discography given that I like the few songs I've heard from her thus far. I love the bassline here and the song gives off a cool dark vibe. She sounds great as well! (8.7)
Tay: (9)
Overall Score: 34.1
You two haven't even been higher than 5th place — which coincidentally is where Mylo placed last season! Is another 5th place finish in the cards, or will you two end up placing lower or higher? Regardless, you'll get a +1 bonus next leg.

Taking a small tumble is...
6. The Invisible Hand (Red & Sambalada )Overall Score: 71.1 | Detour Rank: #8 | Roadblock Rank: #3 | Bonus From Last Leg: +1.8Detour Results:
(Own Name)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.3)District: (8.3)Cynthia: Another solid Beatles song - although somewhat ironically, my favorite performance of it isn't from The Beatles themselves, but from Prince when he shredded his guitar solo at the R&R Hall of Fame. Held back from being a perfect 10 only because it's not one of my most favorite Beatles songs, but to say anything beyond that would be needlessly nitpicking. (9)Beno: I’d be willing to bet at least ten bucks that Red and Samba sent this song lmao. I did this song way too dirty back in like 2017 when I first ranked it (I had it below In The End by Linkin Park, a song that I don’t even really like nowadays), but it still isn’t a favourite Beatles tune of mine in the grand scheme of things (7)Overall Score: 33.6
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by Red)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.5)
District: this song always gets me in my feels, it's just perfect! (10)
Adrian: Probably one of my favorite songs of this leg. This instrumental gives me a rush of nostalgia. Elliott Smith has a voice that just conveys so much emotion. Such a beautiful tune all the way through. I really love this one! (9.7)
Tay: This one took a long time to get into; definitely my least favorite of the two songs from this artist. (6.5)
Overall Score: 35.7
After two stellar legs, you two fell back down to Earth a bit this time, albeit still while finishing right in the middle. You'll get a +0.8 bonus next leg.

Continuing to struggle to find their footing is...
7. The 17 Year Olds (trilogy & woods )Overall Score: 70.2 | Detour Rank: #5 | Roadblock Rank: #9 | Bonus From Last Leg: +1.2Detour Results:
(Own Name)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (8.5)District: (9.1)Cynthia: I'm admittedly just now getting around to checking Rina out, but everything I've heard so far has been a vibe and this is no different. XS feels kind of like a debut-era P!nk throwback, but it doesn't come off too copycat. (9)Beno: And here’s my favourite Rina song! I love the blend of more of a traditional pop song with the heavier instrumentation accents throughout, and Rina kills it with her performance. I also really like how the lyrics are taking the piss out of the general luxury trends within music, shoutout to Rina for having the balls to do that (8.7)Overall Score: 35.3
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by Trilogy)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (8.5)
District: (8.4)
Adrian: I like how jazzy this song is. I also like the two sides to this song not just in terms of the instrumental, but also her vocals. Her voice is very soothing in some parts, and she really belts it out in others. Just goes to show how talented she is as a singer. (8.3)
Tay: (8.5)
Overall Score: 33.7
You two have been bouncing all over the ranks all race, but perhaps a +0.6 bonus will help stabilize you next leg.

Moving up yet again is...
8. Dula Peep Please Step On My Face (@jadenlefranks & HamedM1 💔 )Overall Score: 68.5 | Detour Rank: #2 | Roadblock Rank: #11 | Bonus From Last Leg: +0.2Detour Results:
(Disk Frame)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.7)District: every time I listen to this I'm always like "why don't I listen to this more" (9.6)Cynthia: funny thing, when I saw what the theme was I clicked the Amazon Vinyls link just to see what was on there, and while skimming through I saw this album on there and immediately thought 'Hell yeah! If I was competing in this race I would absolutely send Back to Black.' So whoever this is gets a 10 just for being a mind reader! An irrefutable classic that lives forever in my head rent-free. Tangent: when this song was first released I distinctly remember a friend of mine being all 'that video is weird. I bet you like it.[ (And of course, I did - I was absolutely obsessed with it). This is also the same friend who thought Kelis' Get Along With You video was 'weird.' Unimaginative hoe. I don't speak to her basic ass anymore. Friendship dead and buried next to Amy's heart. (10)Beno: I like this one, but I’ve never really loved it tbh. It’s super well written, arranged and performed, but something about it just doesn’t quite click with me. I’ve always preferred both “Rehab” and “Valerie” to this by a significant margin, sorry to whoever sent this ig (7.2)Overall Score: 36.5
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by Jaden)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (8.7)
District: (8.6)
Adrian: This is a funky bop. I think the instrumental here is pretty great and I really like how MJ sounds. While it's not my all time favorite of his, it's really fun and catchy! (9)
Tay: This one was definitely my least favorite of the three MJ songs; there’s just not much here clicking with me unfortunately (5.5)
Overall Score: 31.8
Despite a stellar performance in the detour, having the worst roadblock of the leg sent you two down this far. However, you're still in, and you'll get a +0.4 bonus next leg.

Narrowly avoiding the bottom 2 is...
9. Red Planets (BB🌕 & Fire )Overall Score: 67.9 | Detour Rank: #9 | Roadblock Rank: #7 | Bonus From Last Leg: +0.4Detour Results:
(Disk Frame)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (8)District: yeehaw pop bop (9.3)Cynthia: when this single dropped I played it so hard that Kurt poked fun at me in RT for seeing that I played this on a loop for 12 hours straight; that's the day I put my Spotify settings on private lolol. I'm so full of s**t, I don't want anyone judging me and my repeat-1 habits but I STAY up in my friends feed seeing what other people are listening to. I've chosen to limit the 10s I hand out to two, and Amy and one of the Beatles songs already took them, but this is definitely a top 3 song on this list for me. (9.8)Beno: I feel like the team that picked this song was possibly hoping that Tay would judge this challenge instead of me oops. This is a fine pop country song but isn’t on the same level as her debut album singles imo. Kacey has a beautiful vocal tone but the rest of the song doesn’t really move me in any way really (6.2)Overall Score: 33.3
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by BB)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (8)
District: I enjoyed this more and more as the song went on! (9)
Adrian: Iconic for all the right reasons. It feels just a little long, but I really like the change in tempo. The production is great here and Diana Ross simply has an amazing voice! (9.2)
Tay: (8)
Overall Score: 34.2
After managing to stay in the middle for the first few legs, you two have slipped into the bottom tier of teams recently. However, you survived once again, with a +0.2 bonus for next leg.

Avoiding elimination by under 2 points is...
10. Feeters (@chartf**ker72 & samo🦕 )Overall Score: 65.7 | Detour Rank: #11 | Roadblock Rank: #5 | Bonus From Last Leg: +0.8Detour Results:
(Own Name)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (7.9)District: (8.4)Cynthia: I can't bring myself to outright tank this, but the lead singer's voice on the chorus irks the s**t out of me. Cute Weezer reference, I guess, but this song on the whole sounds less like an original and more like they belong in a sequel to The Wedding Singer. (A rare Adam Sandler movie that I liked - adored, even - so I suppose that's not the worst comparison in the world.) (6.5)Beno: I’ve never heard of these guys in my life until now, so props for whoever chose this song for taking more of a risk (this is also my only first listen in this set fwiw). This sounds like something that I’d hear on triple j, which is definitely a compliment! This is just a really nice indie pop tune, not phenomenal but I’d happily hear it again (7.5)Overall Score: 30.3
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by CF72)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (9.1)District: (8.7)Adrian: I think this song has a nice instrumental and it's very catchy. Not a whole lot more to it though, in my opinion at least. Still a good song though. (7.8)Tay: This was a bop and a half! There was something that felt so nostalgic about this song; and nostalgia gets me in my feels every! damn! time!!! (9)Overall Score: 34.6
After winning leg 4, you two have been slipping in the ranks, to the point where you were almost eliminated this leg! However, you are still in the race, even if you don't get a bonus next leg.
Being eliminated is...
11. No No Drama (Enyasurvivor & shruggie )Overall Score: 63.8 | Detour Rank: #10 | Roadblock Rank: #10 | Bonus From Last Leg: +0Detour Results:
(Own Name)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (7.1)District: uhhhhh (7.9)Cynthia: I don't mind this. However given what the theme is I am kind of surprised this is what someone would pick. There are so many safe (in a good way choices) that it's kind of a gamble to go the hard rock route. (7.5)Beno: shoutout to the UK for getting this to number 1 at Christmas time one year just to piss off Simon Cowell and The X Factor lmao. I feel like you always know exactly what you’ll get from Rage, and I happen to quite like what they do most of the time lol. This is pretty much them at the top of their game, and whilst it’s not quite my favourite RATM song it’s still super quotable and punchy to this day (8)Overall Score: 30.5
Roadblock Results:
(Sent by Shruggie)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: (8.3)
District: (8.5)
Adrian: I like this song's grooviness and some of the instrumentals are cool as well. I'm just not in love with the vocals on this song particularly. (8)
Tay: Another classic!!! My aunt would play this all the time (she loved MJ like I love Carrie and Conan) and we’d run it into the ground every time she turned it on. We never stopped til we got enough, just like he said! We should all strive to do that tbh (8.5)
Overall Score: 33.3
After a tumultuous run, you two fell into last place this leg, and I'm sorry to say that you have been eliminated from the race. Thanks for playing!

thank you for believing in me! While this definitely wasn't the game for me, I think we can all say I left my mark on this season

Challenge #1: Detour
What is a detour? In these challenges, two themes will be available, and teams will choose to send a song for the one they feel more confident in. Be sure to specify which theme you are sending for!
Detour Themes Smaller Spot or Hot Shot
Smaller Spot: If Jupiter adds any more mass, it would start to become smaller, since the high density of the planet would cause it to pull in on itself. For this detour, you must send a song that also benefits from having less to it, one written and performed by just one artist.
OR
Hot Shot: Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system, being able to fit 1300 Earths inside it! For this detour, you must send a song that had a hot shot debut on the Billboard Hot 100, namely a song that had a top 5 debut on the chart.
Challenge #2: Roadblock What is a roadblock? In these challenges, only one member of the team can come up with a song to send. No consulting. You'll be on the honor system here. Send in your group pm who will do this road block. They will then without consulting their teammate see the theme and send the song in individual pms. tl;dr only one person sends a song, pick who that is in the group pms, then and only then they see the theme.
Consult with your teammate and get your songs in within 36 hours or else your team will NOT have a song in that category and will get an automatic 0/10. Feel free to ask Nick and District any and all questions you may have. The universe is waiting for you. Travel safe. Go!
