| 1 | MUNA | "One That Got Away" | single | We don't need more Drake songs. |
| 2 | The Secret Chord | "Kepler 452b" | Fermi Paradox | I don't mean that there's anything wrong with the ones we have, |
| 3 | Christine and the Queens | "True love (feat. 070 Shake)" | True love (feat. 070 Shake) +1 | I mean that the pace at which Drake produces them is completely acceptable. |
| 4 | Florence + The Machine | "Mermaids" | Dance Fever | The pace at which any artist makes art is, by definition, as fast as we need them to work, |
| 5 | Sophie Ellis-Bextor | "Lost in the Sunshine" | Lost In The Sunshine 3 | and this includes once-productive artists not currently producing art at all, |
| 6 | Juli | "Irgendwann" | Irgendwann 6 | for any reasons of their own, such as disillusionment or having become dead. |
| 7 | Belén Aguilera | "NADIE ME HA PREGUNTADO" | single | An AI to create new Nick Drake songs would make more sense, |
| 8 | Paola Pinar | "No me la juegas (feat. Cristina Len)" | single | but still no sense. |
| 9 | RIELL | "Antis" | Antis +2 | He sang what he sang, |
| 10 | Anna Puu | "Rakkaus tappaa" | single | in a way that was morally inimitable but practically inspirational, |
| 11 | Maija Vilkkumaa | "Maria" | single | and if you want more songs that sound like that, |
| 12 | PUTOCHINOMARICÓN | "íntró (éstádó cónstánté dé críngé)" | Afong (Mordió La Mano Del Amo) | sing them. His memory is now yours. |
| 13 | Bambie Thug | "Egregore" | single | We do not need to reanimate the dead in effigy, |
| 14 | Dream Wife | "Orbit" | Orbit +2 | nor do we need to interpolate the inextant. |

| 25 | Ed Sheeran | "Boat" | Boat +1 | we drown. |
| 26 | Jesse Clegg | "Called To Hear Your Voice" | single | We are scatterlings and children of scatterlings, |
| 27 | Arliston | "Pisco Sours" | single | and we do not always live up to our potential, |
| 28 | The Front Bottoms | "Outlook" | single | but in failing to do so, we do not forfeit it. |
| 29 | Wrest | "Keep Going" | single | We get to try again, if we survive, the "we" that means the survivors. |
| 30 | kanon | "About Love" | single | Songs, unlike sunrises, are about. |
| 31 | Naked Identity Created by King | "IDEA" | Vivid Candy 3 | Nick Drake would have been 75 this year, and no doubt a generator could produce an image of that, |
| 32 | LIKE A KID | "SORRY" | single | after which its engineers would owe us an apology. |
| 33 | 時を唄えば | "半信半疑" | single | Train an AI to apologize for its own encoded hubris, first, |
| 34 | milet | "コイコガレ" | single | or the conversation begins nowhere. |
| 35 | Bray me | "Sincere" | single | We have dreamed of sentient weapons for so long |
| 36 | Homecomings | "Lapse" | New Neighbors | that we are ready to infer theories of self and ordnance onto word-extruders, |
| 37 | Atomic Skipper | "ココロ" | single | by our own belief, |
| 38 | 帰りの会 | "銀河鉄道" | single | but belief is the most dangerous part of that, and the least new. |
| 39 | Mari Hamada | "Escape From Freedom" | Soar | Anticipating AGI apocalypse is the worst kind of techno-nihilism. |
| 40 | MAD JAMIE | "NONFICTION" | single | Maybe a robot could take your job, |
| 41 | 昼食彼女 Lunch Girls | "開戰宣言" | 開戰宣言 +1 | but other humans could have taken it already, |
| 42 | Isiliel | "浄土独唱" | single | and if you don't want to do it, you should probably let them. |
| 43 | Mada Mitakoto no Nai Sekai | "ロミオとシンデレラ" | single | Anything you can automate becomes teleologically neutral and thus morally obsolete. |
| 44 | Tulip | "Starseed" | single | We could send robots to colonize Mars, and accomplish nothing; |
| 45 | Sefirot | "Desde Tu Sombra" | single | add just one human to the mission, chosen carefully, |
| 46 | Eleine | "Never Forget" | Never Forget +1 | and at least we would have a productive use of penis-shaped rockets; |
| 47 | Against Myself | "The Tempest" | Tides Of Insanity | add a community and we would have a human diaspora |
| 48 | As Everything Unfolds | "Saint or Rogue" | Ultraviolet | out of this maybe-poisoned well. |
| 49 | Saurom | "El Pájaro Fantasma" | single | Precarious years accelerate into ungovernable weeks and unmanageable moments, |
| 50 | Liv Kristine | "Our Immortal Day" | River of Diamonds | and yet somehow we still write songs about forever |

| 59 | Arjen Lucassen's Supersonic Revolution | "Golden Age Of Music" | Golden Age Of Music +2 | Show me a new song made out of love of old songs, |
| 60 | Revolution Saints | "Kids Will Be Kids" | Eagle Flight | or out of the love that fills the spaces not filled with old songs. |
| 61 | Emotional Fire | "Will You Be There" | Will You Be There +3 | Nostalgia is a currency you cannot virtualize, |
| 62 | Art Nation | "Echo" | single | no more convertible into neutral running shoes or kouign-amann |
| 63 | Main-De-Gloire | "Come Alive" | single | than the extra royalties Nick Drake could have earned by writing shorter songs |
| 64 | The Dark Atom | "Time" | Time +1 | in dimmer-later performative ambient-lo-fi reticence |
| 65 | Teramaze | "These Crystal Walls" | single | instead of dying in his parents' house. |

| 71 | Triángulo de Amor Bizarro | "Canción de Muerte del Pez Dorado" | Canción de Muerte del Pez Dorado +1 | in statistical sequence. |
| 72 | Estrada | "Esta Noche Que Salí" | single | We are already the creatures of accumulated implication and relentless rotational inertia |
| 73 | Chica Sobresalto | "El Hogar" | single | that seems endless from the perspective of any single moment |

| 75 | Maleficium Arungquilta | "Боль №2" | single | Talking to each other in different languages is far more human |
| 76 | bird. | "maria" | single | than talking to a language-model in fluent emptiness. |

| 87 | Tinariwen | "Kek Alghalm" | Kek Alghalm +1 | We hope to be saved from our myopic ignorance by self-informing machines |
