FlashingLight's Top Tracks of the Week

[FlashingLight]

I've decided to kick off my own personal chart this week. I'm starting this chart off at 30 songs for my own sake and I may add or subtract some positions if I think I would be able to or simply want to. I will be posting these on my Crownnote every Saturday, but will update on here too.
