For new readers, this refers to the monthly Song of the Day list on the Sputnik Music website. Each month, one user hosts the list and names a theme. Everyone then recommends songs in line with this theme, and people rate the various song recommendations. The list of June songs can be found at Sputnik Music Song of the Day - June 2020.
1. The theme for this month was PRIDE!, which meant songs from artists who are members of the LGBTQ+ community.
2. I got to submit two songs for the month. The first was "I Don't Believe in the Sun," from The Magnetic Fields' 1999 opus 69 Love Songs. The second song (which was assigned to June 30, the last day of the month) was "One Way Love" from John-Allison Weiss (who was still known as Allison Weiss when the song was originally released). The Magnetic Fields - I Don't Believe in the Sun; John-Allison Weiss - One Way Love.
3. My highest-rated song of the month was "Stranger" by Goldfrapp. (Goldfrapp - Stranger)
4. However, that was only the second-highest-rated song by the group as a whole. The top-rated song of the month was "Cannock Chase" by Labi Siffre (Labi Siffre - Cannock Chase), not a bad choice, to be sure.
5. The link to the playlist for the month, minus the one song that only appeared on bandcamp, is June 2020 Song of the Day YouTube playlist.
