I didn’t have anything in mind that fits all 5. It’s possible it doesn’t exist.
This was my original idea too. I also failed.
The hard part for a native English speaker is the non-Spanish Romance language part. It’s not crazy impossible to find something that fits the other four, but getting all five is going to be a task if you aren’t heavily familiar with current French or Italian pop unless there are K-Pop girl groups who regularly record versions of songs for various European countries without understanding the lyrics.
I got either 3 or 4. I cant remember right now
Yep, this was my issue as well (when I went out searching for 5/5).
I eventually just submitted a 2/5 song, lol.
Had the criterion been “any language but spanish” I think the category would be full of K-pop girl groups, though, so probably better this way.
Submitted. The lack of creative thinking in some of my choices makes me want to puke. Then again, some of my other choices are the best choices in the history of this game.
So in conclusion
Same
3rd!
Swanky’s category, in particular, lent itself to me instantly identifying several songs that are, of course, immensely popular that everyone has heard already a million times…they just happen to be memorable to me. I tried to choose possibly the least well-known one, but it still has more than 1M youtube views.
I looked at the Youtube views for the songs I submitted. Only two had more than 500,000.
Not going to say what my lowest was because that might identify one of my submissions, but I was kind of shocked that an artist who I’m sure many people ITT have heard of could have a view count that was so low for a song that was released on their official channel.
I for some reason am really excited for this reveal, especially eb’s category

Still sunny here in the Islands. Working on it.

you can always live dangerously (I think I found a top half pick for yours )
MIL health problems again tonight; I’m over halfway done and sent pyat’s over to seities but looking like I’ll be sending the rest of the submissions tomorrow, sorry.
Got nonstop meetings 9-5 but will try to work it in somewhere so it’s sent before too late to forward the entries on tomorrow.
Only seities left with 73 minutes to go.
I was never good with changes.
Late
that is racist to my hawaiian roots.
sent
I’m sorry if people found my category challenging. I’m a little surprised, because for example one of the options was “the song itself can change”, which in itself is really broad to me. But maybe I could have done better with the explanation about that.
For the most part I found these categories pretty easy to find something for, aside from Meb’s. That said, with about half the entries I am definitely unsure if I chose a good fit for the listener.

I totally missed that and it would have certainly made it much easier to find a song.
