A non-canonical scene between Astarion and Karina being very tender in a probably freezing lake.

Artists

Taylor Swift to absolutely nobody's surprise. Tho this year I am only top 1% last year I was 0.something%

Yoko Shimomura keeps her well deserved second place!

Nobuo Uematsu because wow you can really tell I went to a Final Fantasy concert early this year and loved it :)

Fall Out Boy thanks to their amazing album So Much (for) Stardust and their collab with Taylor Swift on Speak Now Taylor's Version

Måneskin also thanks to an album drop and concert early this year

Songs

Electric Touch (feat. Fall Out Boy) (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) by Taylor Swift and Fall Out Boy - I love how stupidly long this title is XD But also just, Two of my favorites collaborating on a remake of one of my favorite albums of all time. I love this song.

Cruel Angel's Thesis because damn the Evangelion obsession was Very Strong back in October

I Can See You (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) by Taylor Swift - I Can See You and you guys can see that I love Speak Now. Also at one point I realised this song fits my self indulgent Final Fantasy XV au so yeah of course this has been played on repeat A Lot XD

Too Much Is Never Enough by Florence + The Machine - Did somebody mention Final Fantasy XV? This song is so beautiful and I recommend it to everyone even if you don't give a shit about the game.

Valse di Fantastica by God Yoko Shimomura - Final Fantasy XV My Beloved

Honorable mentions for songs lower on the list:

One Last Kiss by Hikaru Utada which is also an Evangelion song and ended up at place 6 despite me only watching the movie it belongs to 3 weeks ago

Actually all the Utada songs from the Evangelion movies made top 100 in these 3 weeks

The Call by Regina Spektor at 18 because damn I must have been feeling very nostalgic about Prince Caspian (I used to be obsessed with that movie)

The entirety of Songs from Final Fantasy XV by Florence and The Machine being in the top 12 as it should be (I am once again asking yall to listen to this album)

There is a grand total of 40(!) Final Fantasy songs in this list. Most of which (32) are from FFXV

Highest Ranking non Final Fantasy XV Final Fantasy song is Suteki Da Ne from FFX which has more to do with the Final Fantasy concert than me actually playing FFX this summer (this song is sooo beautiful)

FFXV main game: 18, FFXV dlc: 7, FFXV Florence and the Machine: 3, FFXV piano collections: 4

FFX: 2, FFVII: 2, FFXVI: 1, FFXIII: 1

And 2 from the concert being the main Final Fantasy Theme and a medley of FF1-3

All the music questions. ALL OF THEM!

1:A song you like with a color in the title Heavenly Blue

2:A song you like with a number in the title

1000 Words

3:A song that reminds you of summertime

California Girls

4:A song that reminds you of someone you would rather forget about

I don't think there is a long like that. There is only a few people I dislike that much. But there are no songs connected to either of them. But one song I try to avoid is One Sweet Day. I loved the song. But until it really clicked what it meant and after someone I knew died I couldn't listen to it.

5:A song that needs to be played LOUD

Most songs I like I tend to have loud. Or at least when my headphones are in. So I guess I can just list a song I like.

Rivers in the Desert.

6:A song that makes you want to dance

Last Surprise.

7:A song to drive to

I can't drive.

8:A song about drugs or alcohol

Addict

9:A song that makes you happy

Xanadu

10:A song that makes you sad

Again, One Sweet Day. There is another song in which I can't remember the name. But it has a similar tone. But unlike One Sweet Day it isn't obviously about death and could just be a breakup song. I think it's called Unbreak my Heart. Just gonna add Aerith's Theme to this.

11:A song that you never get tired of

I'm not sure if any song are songs I might be tired of. I tend to listen to songs on repeat until I get sick of them. There are times I don't do this. Currently the song I have stuck in my head is 'We don't talk about Bruno.' but there might be a point where I will get sick of it.

For a while I couldn't really listen to any Lady Gaga songs because those were the first songs I bought from iTunes. Just Lady Gaga. So when my iTunes account was fresh and there wasn't much selection I was stuck with either Lady Gaga or some Final Fantasy songs.

12:A song from your preteen years

Shape of my Heart

13:One of your favorite 80’s songs

Everybody Wants to Rule The World, or Take On Me. I almost wanted to put some of my favorite Queen songs but they were all made in the 70s.

14:A song that you would love played at your wedding

Either Dearly Beloved or a piano rendition of Suteki Da Ne. Maybe Melodies of Life.

15:A song that is a cover by another artist

Most songs have a cover by another artist. The first one to come to mind would be Weezer's cover of Africa.

16:One of your favorite classical songs

Moonlight Sonata. I almost wanted to type in Toreador March. The sad part I only really know of those songs because of horror games. Moonlight Sonata because of Resident Evil, and Toreador March because of Five Nights at Freddy's. [Though I've heard the song before the game, but I didn't know the name of it until after.]

17:A song that would sing a duet with on karaoke

Are we talking about songs that are already duets or make a song a duet? First thing that came to mind was Beauty and the Beast.

18:A song from the year that you were born

Get out of my dreams, get into my car. I couldn't mind many songs I recognized let along ones I actually liked.

19:A song that makes you think about life

Miss Wanna Die?

20:A song that has many meanings to you

I'm not sure.

21:A favorite song with a person’s name in the title

We Don't Talk About Bruno? That's the only one that came to mind.

22:A song that moves you forward

Most songs do. Though, Wake Up Get Up Get Out There.

23:A song that you think everybody should listen to

Xanadu

24:A song by a band you wish were still together

??? I'm not too familiar with bands enough to know if any that I like are split up. But I do like Panic! At The Disco. Though I don't know many of their songs.

25:A song by an artist no longer living

Magic Dance or Smooth Criminal.

26:A song that makes you want to fall in love

... I don't have any like that?

27:A song that breaks your heart

Unbreak My Heart.

28:A song by an artist with a voice that you love

real Emotion

29:A song that you remember from your childhood

Under the Sea

30:A song that reminds you of yourself

Behind These Hazel Eyes.
