I'm increasingly inclined to agree with you if a certain somebody's 'songs of the week' are anything to go by!

They could indeed be anything!
If I'd done this from the start of 2015 and you followed them all you had heard goth rock, heavy metal, black metal, Disney soundtracks, chill out, dance, trap, rap, hardstyle and 80's...
Predating 2015 I have music from all eras and genres, and all have some song of the week somewhere 
So give me your song of the week. Unless, of course, you're one of those non-music-listening-neanderthals

First there is no evidence that neanderthals were unaware of tonal pattern! Second I listen to a great deal of music and give at least 20 new album releases a chance not to be consigned to eternal darkness as a result of my weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth every Friday. What I don't do, however, is endlessly churn out the same track over and over to the point of obsession so don't really ever have a song of the week. I can give you a couple of candidates for the song of 2015, however.
Little Big Town "Quit Breaking Up With Me" - YouTube[^]
Sara Bareilles - She Used to Be Mine (Live on Today Show) - YouTube[^]
Sorry, if they're too much like actual songs for you!

Although they've never found neanderthal music scores either 
Member 9082365 wrote: endlessly churn out the same track over and over to the point of obsession
I sometimes do, but I listen to albums as well (though much less so than I used too).
Member 9082365 wrote: Sorry, if they're too much like actual songs for you!
They are! Just like all those songs I've heard a million times before. I could listen to it (and sometimes do), but I prefer my music a little bit more exciting
One of those songs that sound like many other songs, which I heard first on the radio, but that I still like and that you might like as well (and which didn't make it last year because it's a 2014 song): Lady Antebellum - Need You Now - YouTube[^].
More 'songy' songs I liked in 2015 (but are older than that) are Conjure One - Center Of The Sun (Feat. Poe) - YouTube[^] and London Grammar - Strong (Official Video) - YouTube[^]

That's what people who were your age said when you were born.
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell

You are so close to 'Sahasra-chandra-darshana', which means sighting of a 1000 moons (full moons).
Sahasra-chandra-darshana is an occasion to celebrate, and be grateful for all things experienced, enjoyed; there are elaborate rituals and festivities in some communities around where I live (Bengaluru).
Wish you also have a great Sahasra-chandra-darshana celebration, after the next 61 full-moon sightings.

I recommend scotch, Bill; in large quantities. This existential crap is all good and well, but when it comes to facing reality, it's not actually good for much, is it?

Hello. I've puslished an article in December and I'd like to know what date the article competition starts ?
|

Not for another week or so, I believe. For those that post articles later in the previous month, this gives people time to read them and vote on them in the current month.

Evidently this is some new and exotic meaning of 'song' that I've not previously encountered!

You're right, it's mostly music and nothing is actually sung.
Maybe I should call these posts 'Music of the Week'?

You mean we can "look forward" to one of these every week?

Yes, for those (few) interested
At least it's not as bad as the daily CCC 
And much of the other crap that regularly comes up in the Lounge

Says you.
If you really enjoy having gang-bangers shout M*f*k*r at you to the monotonous rhythm track of some drum machine/synth (as in the link you posted), why not move to Chicago, USA. I suggest the neighborhood in Chicago known as "Chiraq." What's left of your ears could be happy there, I'm sure.
