I stole this from @vmrrrn even though I'm already doing one of these accursed challenges on Instagram
1. Cherish by Madonna is the only new song from this month but it's great https://open.spotify.com/track/7BLKBIoijWCkDyOATEr5vW
1.1 If we're counting 'this month' as the past month because the walls of time are breaking down in quarantine, I haven't been able to get Physical by Dua Lipa out of my head for weeks now https://open.spotify.com/track/5px6upUHM3fhOP621Edp4V
2. Can it be anything other than the Vengabus? Took me a month to find out what it was after first hearing it, now every time if comes on in a club I scream far too melodramatically https://open.spotify.com/track/3UL6Lzsocv9Ucizgzid2B0
2.1 Honourable Mention! Take a Hint by the Victorious Cast, without a doubt the original feminist anthem. Hard Out Here by Lily Allen is quaking (also honourable mentions to Grace Kelly and C'est la Vie I guess) https://open.spotify.com/track/3XHdk0KVdgO2sRH5dqibFB
3. I've never cried at a song so I guess this is now just whatever song makes me slightly sad. Gotta go with Forever by Labrinth, great part of the Euphoria soundtrack and always punctuates the emotional beats perfectly https://open.spotify.com/track/6potEImiklXkwD9qFzpu15?si=noxgN74HRYKAs6nWQak1JA
4. Surprised by how few songs I actually know from start to finish, even more surprised that I haven't already posted this. Gotta be E.T. by Katy Perry (without the Kanye verse, sorry @eabhaaa and any other wrong'uns) https://open.spotify.com/track/50r1EUDpmSZRPo5aIZpmWi?si=RGD5csBBRVatNHhaFCDPVA
4.1 Honourable mention has to be Grace Kelly by MIKA but who doesn't know the words to that? https://open.spotify.com/track/4Sqc0kPuZpfI0T2TZBu8JT?si=FZtNDEMcSj2MOlTtW9DDoQ
5. The only question for this one was which Girls Aloud song it would be, to be honest. I went with The Show but that might be because of the music video having a beautiful colour palette, it's still one of their best songs regardless https://open.spotify.com/track/3ZvhK8GmYPXY8ieNHwI0tX?si=9YLSneSyRxStv9CJHC2tdA
5.1 For the sake of variety, honourable mention to Paparazzi by Lady Gaga, sadly overshadowed by her more dramatic songs but who can complain when they're all great (also shout-out to Biology by Girls Aloud because I don't know when to give it a rest) https://open.spotify.com/track/02XnQdf7sipaKBBHixz3Zp?si=zZ4JxGBrSumtpP-LFucasg
6. This was tricky because I don't listen to Billie Eilish but I went with 5, 6, 7, 8 by Steps https://open.spotify.com/track/3oWZwdnnwsCwMukQbPsEiy?si=dSbR_TB7RlqIufZK5zf0mw
7. My plan to use ET for the uppercase letters song was foiled by the fact that I used it for number 4 by accident. But it's such a bop that I'm going to do it again. I can't repost the Spotify link so I'll go with the very intense lyric video https://open.spotify.com/track/4z8ssgZfs5TzKiO8HaGWXO
8. Maybe this is just because she's replied to me on Instagram a few times but any song by Sir Babygirl is criminally underrated, Heels especially. I guarantee it'll be used in a Riverdale finale one day, and I mean that in the best way possible https://open.spotify.com/track/5a4CjeST1bAEEgYIVa4amS?si=K5mAHTZzSN6UWncMi3lQ7A
9. I need to stop forgetting these until midnight. Just because I haven't posted Kesha on this thread yet, Take It Off by Kesha https://open.spotify.com/track/2E5UlxrPBwKhk45nu3YmWo
