It was a hard week this week - a lot of repeats, and some artists dominated the charts with multiple songs. HOWEVER, we DID find some hard-hitting, beautiful, and unique songs in here that ranged from familiar rock favorites to blazing Visual Kei bands that made us rethink how we approach the list.

==========================================

CASP Method:
--C - Composition: A category for the song's musical details such as melody, harmony, rhythm, thematic material and usage, etc.
--A - Accessibility: Used to judge a song's ability to be understood, its complexity/simplicity, and how appropriate the lyrics are/how wide an audience it can reach.
--S - Sophistication: A category for overall artistry in the song; this includes pacing, maturity, and the effort the artist put into making the song.
--P - Presentation: The overall complete product surrounding the song; production value, audio and video quality (if present), attention to details, etc.
