That was intentional.

:cry:

I think I've decided on my short list.

 

5 female singers

3 male singers

1 instrumentalist duo

no bands

 

"Inhaler" was released in 2012.

 

Also: Please not "Prince Johnny" - it pales in significance when compared with the far superior "Digital Witness". :(

"Inhaler" was released in 2012.

 

 

It came from a 2013 album so was eligible.

 

The criteria is anything from an album released that year or released to youtube/social media before a full release the following year.

Also: Please not "Prince Johnny" - it pales in significance when compared with the far superior "Digital Witness". :(

 

 

Me no likie.

Tomorrow at 6:30/7pm until 8pm
