with Alt and Active now completed, though, we can now focus our attention on this format.
quite a few crossovers we've seen before, as well as plenty of good exclusives.
so hyped lfg

Starting now and wow, folk influence is high on a lot of these songs

[zippy]

If I were to participate, this looks too much for me to handle and I can only name a couple of favorites or disliked songs from the list. I'll be sure to spectate.

[Tim]

I made this more for myself, but here's an Apple Music Playlist for us non-Spotify users.

Locked Out In Heaven is alright, but it seems really strange on this chart.

Locked Out In Heaven is alright, but it seems really strange on this chart.

The AAA panel always has a notable contingent of Hot AC leaners, and it used to be even more blatant before the latter half of the 2010s. Combined with the fact that the song is very clearly indebted to The Police, a band that is popular in AAA Golds, and you have the recipe for a sneaky entry like this
