    They should have updated it lmao... Blue Faces (U8) HAS to be on the list

    They always do that s---. Yesterday they reviewed UU & admitted that tpab was most likely better than gkmc (implying they would have given it a XXL too)...but where is the review? When you do something, do it 100%

    Actually, it made me rethink about it and I'd literally remove most of the songs on the list to add more songs from TPAB. (probably 14 of them)

    Art of peer pressure
    Wesley's Theory
    i
    u
    Momma
    Poe Man's Dreams
    How Much a Dollar Cost
    Blow My High
    Or even Kiesha's Song (which is super underrated)
