Ok since this thread is absolutely destroying my phone- I’m gonna take a little break from updating So in the meantime I made a new playlist!! It’s a little different than the other one as I picked these songs based on my favorites https://open.spotify.com/playlist/38dxytE1fapTBxq6jeqvIe?si=4o79oD5tTxGKqvXVPihkrA

Also I included artists recommended by everyone whether or not they have gotten an official post in this thread yet and one song by each artist :))
