Quoted Shadowdoom9 (Andi)

Looks like a data-entry error Andi. I've just fixed that up & it's now showing under The Gateway.

Thanks, Daniel!

After one full year of compiling these monthly playlists for both the Gateway and Infinite clans, I must say that this has been an overwhelming success. I appreciate all of the assistance from fellow Metal Academy users in helping to buff up these playlists every month and have been fortunate to find some really good songs that I would never have found on my own.

So with all of the gushing out of the way, it's time for the December challenge. All of my playlists up to this point have been set in a free-for-all format with no restrictions on playlist quality, quantity, timeframe or style. For December, let's put together a list of the best moments that these clans had to offer in 2022. Only songs that were released as a single or as part of an album in 2022 will be counted; anything older will be discounted.

Reposts are acceptable within reason, but only one song per artist.

I should've saved my 2022 submissions for December, but I think they're already in the November playlist that has been submitted, so it's too late to change that. I'm up for this challenge in the Gateway and Infinite playlists, and I got some good 2022 track suggestions coming soon...
