How I plan out my Playlists Of The Month (for those who are new to them):

 

The Mostly Recent section used to have a Top 60 of this month ranked from most fave, but there was the rare occasion where I expanded it to a 75 (due to some months where I listen to so many good songs). Since 2019, my playlists have been consisting of songs that have been at least an 8/10 for me at the time.

 

The Retro section used to be in a more random order, but now its in a similar order to the mostly recent section.

 

In recent months, the total amount of songs I've listened to this month (i.e. new discoveries and songs I've never heard before, and sometimes songs I have heard before but don't remember bringing up on this forum) exceeds 100, so I try evening out both sections by limiting them to 50 each (or 60 + 40).

I listened to more songs from the 2020s than songs from prior decades, so I had to limit the 2020s songs to twenty in order to give more space to older songs. This means the following that would have had a spot in this section missed the cut

• Eric Church - Stick That In Your Country Song (2020)
• Usher - Bad Habits (2020)
• First Aid Kit - A Feeling That Never Came (2022)
• Shallipopi feat. ODUMODUBLVCK - Cast (2023)
• Nieve Ella - Car Park (2023)
• SUEP - In Good Health (2022)
• Olly Murs - I Found Her (2022)
• Weyes Blood - Children Of The Empire (2022)
• Ham Sandwich - Le Soleil (2022)
• HighSchool - New York, Paris and London (2021)

 

 

Christmas section

• The Damned - There Ain’t No Sanity Clause
• Tha Dogg Pound - I Wish

Hi there Dalek!

 

Nice to see "Falling Forever","The Line" and "Rockman" in the top 50 songs of your list and "Cheri Cheri Lady", "My Ever Changing Moods" and "Gimme All Your Lovin'" from the "From The Past" list.

 

Great chart!

Take care.,
