After slowly falling down the ranks the last few years, Kirby has returned with a vengeance, thanks to Kirby and the Forgotten Land, with FOUR songs from KatFL landing in the top 10 most requested songs, and the entire Kirby series taking a little over 12% of ALL votes from the whole ballot with 326 votes (out of 2600+!).

There were a few surprises as well, namely Smash 4's Master Core making a top 10 appearance, and the Dragalia Lost community rallying together to get Torture / A Gifted Tormenter all the way up to the #2 overall most requested song spot, which also placed it in the top series spot at #7, and #1 most requested new-to-GaMetal series.

Mario & Sonic also tied which is pretty funny.

A complete spreadsheet of the results (compiled by fellow Patron Revolver, thank you!) can be found here! 

Before the ballot results reveal, we had our monthly stream song selection! This month's song to go on the to-do list is:

Move Me from Ridge Racer 4, from the list of Abominatma 2.0! I don't know a whole lot about Ridge Racer tbh, but the song is pretty cool!

And lastly, for this month's handpick, we're gonna go with...

World's End Valentine from OMORI, from the list of Alex7899! This song has landed in the #9-10 most requested song spot for two consecutive years in the last two ballots, so we're gonna go ahead and knock out two birds with one stone with this pick, knocking out both a Patron request and a Ballot request at the same time.

That's all for now, thank you again to everyone who hung out during today's stream, I'll see you in the next post!

PS: Fight Against an Armed Boss early DL tomorrow, video should be ready and up on Thursday!
