TSC Spotlight: PennyTrationStan

Jan 23, 2021 by Patrick319
The date is January 23rd, 2021. I have not blogged a single update for my 2020 TSC ranking. While I have my top 100 list sorted out in a Google doc, I can't promise a single update besides perhaps one post listing my entire ranking in the coming days.

However, I find it necessary to highlight my favourite TSC submissions from one user in particular that was abundantly featured in my top 100 ranking: PennyTrationStan.

Having accumulated the most total wins throughout the year (at the expense of Tinashe), I don't think anyone can deny that Penny was the TSC player of the year. Penny sent a lot of great music to TSC in 2020, including some of my most-played songs of the year that I will feature in this blog.

ALY & AJ - ATTACK OF PANIC



Aly & AJ's return to music (in which they curse!) has been a wonderful thing for those of us that have been living vicariously through our 2007 selves. Attack of Panic was an easy 12 points in a contest in which it was extremely underrated. This song DEFINED the first few months of 2020 for me before it was succeeded by the iconic Joan of Arc on the Dance Floor. Depending on my mood, however, I prefer Attack of Panic on some days. The buildup to the final minute in particular has really stuck with me, and the final minute of the song in general is a sufficient payoff that made me keep coming back to the song throughout the year.

ARIANA AND THE ROSE - LONELY STAR



This song is the textbook definition of a TSC winner. Electro-pop sound with a banging chorus sung by a powerful female vocalist. Winner. While this genre rarely fails not to do well at the contest, I think this might be one of the best executions of this style of song I've heard. The chorus is an explosion that completely caught me off guard on first listen, and one which still feels fresh months later. I can easily conclude that Lonely Star is one of the best entries by a new TSC artist in a long time.

BREE RUNWAY, YUNG BABY TATE - DAMN DANIEL



DAMN, KEISHA. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR ASS SAW ME WITH ANOTHER BITCH? I think my original comment for this song implied that Bree was trying to capitalize on a viral trend from years ago. HOW EMBARRASSING. Bree IS the moment, and she reminded me why I love her so much with the release of this song. Bree already has so many good songs including What Do I Tell My Friends, Apeshit, All Night and Little Nokia, but DAMN DANIEL is easily the most instant and captivating of them all. This song is PURE FUN. I never have a bad time listening to it. Am I in a bad mood? Well I can ensure this song will put a smile on my face. INCREDIBLE!!

PONGO - UWA



UWA is an example of a song that blends Western and traditional influences in a unique way that really makes it stand out and sound extremely fresh on every listen. I don't foresee this song aging one bit, even months down the road. I've never heard anything quite like this song, and I'm not sure I will ever hear anything that I can easily compare it to. This song is a one-of-a-kind, and I absolutely adore it.
