Mind has now wandered to contenders in #TheTenx5 and #TheN0ughtie5, and whether "stuck at no.2" is meant to imply more than one week.
(even so, can we please rule out Moves Like Jagger...?)

Consider it a teaser for coming attractions, since the Bruno Mars throwback jam is as #TheTenX5 staple as it's going to get; here, you're getting a frankly decadent amount of songwriting served with a hint of cheesy self-awareness; every key change comes with a MISTER AMBASSADOR, YOU ARE SPOILING US

I mean, his presence is probably why I won't pick this over multiple other #TheTenx5 candidates for Rihanna.
HOWEVER, it's still their best collaboration for me, and his least insufferable guest verse ever.
(I also like 'Take Care' because she could do no wrong even on an 80% Drake track)

It’s weird but when Covid started and we were working from home I discovered so much music, new and old.
As such my TheTwen2ies list was WAY bigger than my TheTenx5 list!

I'd rather a single post/DM than spamming, yes.
There are 3 days for #TheTenx5 not 1 - I've even said in the rules that you have to post > 1 per day.
Just not 5 in one go: there's no need, in any month.
All music challenges work on a one-per-day basis and only Feb HMs is different here.

I was gonna post them all on the 28th, because I figured I would have to do that anyway for #TheTenX5; should I just send you my 5 and reveal in a single post?

One more thing about HMs...
In order to take a full part in Part V (the finale), you need to have submitted at least 5 HMs for all of Parts I to IV, as well as a main list. See screenshot.
Mandy Rice Davies Applies (one for the kids there), but you really won't want to miss that.

the most 2019 2020s track of the playlist, and therefore really obvious foreshadowing for #TheTenX5, and, also, the rest of the playlist; there's hints at the Great Songwriting to come in there, between the catchy bassline and the cool dirtbag attitude that WILL pay off in spades later

Honestly, I like the closure of handing it in knowing that I can't suddenly swap 27 and 26 around. I've got an unsubmitted list of 50HMs and the hope is that discoveries take up a chunk of those and I can be slightly tactical about not being a solo voter on them. Plus I can move to #THETENX5

The methodology of my #TheTwen2ie5 list was a ruthless and exhaustive study of the charts, meanwhile the methodology of #TheTenX5 is just "if it comes up when I sing it to myself it's making the cut" and so far? I'm at 7 songs; I'm going for "unassailable" here, I'm going for "100% in the parade"

Been doing some more #TheTenX5 listening, using the 2015 PPP nominations list.
Instructive for me, since 14-16 is probably as bad mentally as I ever have been. I missed most of this - and it seems I didn’t nominate anything for this PPP. About the only new music I engaged with was Susanne Sundfor.

Not this time: from 14th at the end of July, he went almost all the way.

Congratulations David - we knew you had it in you!
