Now I’m pissed off because I changed my mind on which track at the last minute.

Mac DeMarco - Freaking Out The Neighborhood

Told you he’s popular. I like this one more. Has some cute 60s-70s vibe to it. I’m also scared of the apparent Mac Army that stayed dormant here for years and has now awaken.

HWHAT!!!

Amazing that somebody else knows him and would enter him for this category.

Awesome sauce!

I was pretty amazed given the category and the fact i didn’t even know who he is.
Later I found out he was on Hot Ones so obviously he’s more famous than I thought.

MIKA - Grace Kelly

This was a huge radio hit in Israel when it came out. I actually thought at the time it’s a super clever pop song that subtly mocks the industry. It’s very tongue-in-cheek (I think) and the kid can sing. Kinda surprised he didn’t do better with the rest of his career.

A$AP Rocky - Everyday

Mark Ronson is stupidly good at his job. Rod Stewart was good at his job. The guy singing is good at his job. A$AP Rocky is serviceable. I’ve been humming ‘In a Broken Dream’ for the past week so there’s that.

Superorganism - Something For Your M.I.N.D.

This was the only song I didn’t know and actually liked. That’s good enough to easily win the category. Reminded me of a hipsterish version Bran Van 3000 - Drinking in L.A., but then i realized these kids probably weren’t even born when that came out and i cried for a while.

I don’t think the reveal was very fun so I apologize for this. I guess searching for views isn’t a fun process and some people just sent what they landed on.

I thought it was an excellent reveal demonstrating impeccable judgement.

I think your reveal was still somewhat fun.

Thanks for the reveal. I don’t envy you having to work with those ingredients and I freely admit I didn’t put too much thought into your category. I put it off until after all the other categories because I thought how hard can it be to find a decent song with 10M youtube views… still kinda hard if time is running out. Let me add that that I actually like my submission and I listened to it a bunch of times lately.

I pretty much knew for this category I was going to pick a UK hit that wasn’t a huge chart success in the US.

I did the same with my entry since it kept popping up on my recommendations.

I thought the nodium followed Louis’ theory to a tee. After that it wasn’t so bad.

Are any other reveals scheduled?

I have my rankings finalized but the write-ups always take me a long time. Hopefully I can get them done until tomorrow. 22:00 CET? (4pm EST??)

I don’t like much new pop nor any Bieber but this song I like. It puts a pep in my step when hiking.

I will likely reveal tomorrow but I cant commit to a time

I wanted to submit this and secure 1/12 for not having enough views

But yuv gave me a second chance… and, worse than Judas, I betrayed him twice.
