I'll start including that information when I hit the top 100! And as far as pacing goes, I'll be finishing up the 200-101 range t...

I was a little surprised. Not to spoil anything, but Arooj Aftab didn't do poorly on the whole, and the song you picked is absolutely gorgeous.

I am completely on BleuPanda's side with respect to the treatment of the EOY lists.

There should be a way to scale down the importance of EOY lists while also allowi...
