aha, that's how we're artist-crediting LOOΠΔ. I was wondering! I shall follow your lead (if one of theirs makes my final cut)

67 hours of singles and 659 hours of albums; we may bust the album list here before the poll is over. I think they cap at 10k songs and we're at 9k and change.

i mention the hour count here more as a pleasant revelation and a brag about our community; it's nuts how few people can name ten good songs they heard this year. we've got over 900 (insert dragonball meme here)
