So apparently, Xtrullor's Paradigm Shift somehow came of the featured audio and my song Drop It is first.

First of all, I was not expecting Drop It to be featured at all, and I definitely was not expected it to be at the top. It reminded me of a crappy song I did called Dubstep Machine.

Am I saying the two are similar? Likely, but not necessarily the case. Dubstep Machine got at least 440 plays in just 3 hours, and at least 200 more plays in the next 3 hours (that makes at least 640 plays in its first 6 hours). Drop It got at least 300 plays on its first day, and at least 650 plays on its first week. Dubstep Machine was rather done with minimal work, but Drop It took 25 hours to make.

My songs don't get featured as often as artists like DJVI (shown in the second image with "Like An Animal") or Zyzyx (shown in the first image with "Scars"), but I get shocked just to see it barely featured (like how "Skeleton Party" is). This is only the second time I have gotten a song with the top feature (and second top feature this year), but I have yet to get a song frontpaged.

I have gotten more than just these two songs featured, I have actually gotten quite a few songs featured. The problem being is that when my songs get featured, the ratings start to drop down like how a lot of usual unnoticed artists' songs are. Am I saying that I am unnoticed? Well, if you compare somebody like myself with around 70 fans to your usual artists like F-777 and Xtrullor who have at least 1,000 fans, then I am very much unnoticed.

The real reason I was shocked that this song is unlike the rest of my featured songs. It was not a collab (Dubstep Machine), remix (new Viking Arena remix, Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites by Skrillex, Alone by Marshmello), cover (none yet actually), nor remake (no remake yet, but I guess you can call my Alone remix a remake).

Sorry for making this sound like a big deal. It is just that I do feel shocked that a song of mine gets featured, but at the same time, it feels a bit boring because the usual trend I get with the songs after they get featured, but I am not totally mad about it either.

SONG CONTEST!

With exactly 50% of the votes, song contest has the winning choice, so I will host a song contest. I have not done anything like this before, so I will hope this does go well. Here are my rules for the contest:

• Use this tag for any entries: truth3mcsongentry
  • If you don't use this tag, then your song will not be on the list. You can re-add the 
• Length of the song: 2 minutes to 8 minutes
• Genre of the song: whatever you choose, I will let you be yourself here, but you can try to push yourself for this one if you want to do so
• I may allow past entries, but this does not mean do all of them
• Limit per person: 3 per person
• Are collabs allowed? Yes, but if this is the case, your song will be counted as one spot for your collab in my megacollab.

HOW WILL RESULTS BE ANNOUNCED?

I will announce the top 5 songs next year. THE DEADLINE IS JANUARY 1ST, 2018.

WHO IS GIVEN A FREE PASS?

Okay, there won't be just these 5 spots for the megacollab. Everybody that I have collabed with before will be given a free spot to the megacollab. These may also choose to participate if they wish to. Those people include:

• @Awesomeology
• @ELEPS44
• @FGK2015
• @Skiddle
• @Pellejonsson1
• @Texxiliator (confirmation needed)
• @TheFantasticZ
• @TheMajician
• @tNava or @Khateyus

This being said, there will be 5 spots for the contest, plus 5 spots for these people (plus one more for Texxiliator).

Alright, that is it! Let's get to creating! ;)

http://www.strawpoll.me/14325874

I have gotten three ideas for it. Any ideas being commented will be tallied and/or put on a new poll.

SONG CONTEST - Self-explanatory. Top 5 will be given a spot for my MC.

IMMEDIATE INVITATIONS - Only a select few will be PM'd an invitation.

REMIX CONTEST - Remix any of my songs to enter. Top 5 will be given a spot for my MC.

I am having trouble figuring out what to do for this, but I want to keep it going fresh. What should I do for my Truth 3 MC? Should I go ahead send out invites? Should I do the original plan and do a song contest? I have no certain idea, so what should I do for this?

I have created a strawpoll for you guys: http://www.strawpoll.me/14325874

So it has been a great year for NG so far, so let's talk about the topics for this news post:

NGADM FEEDBACK

So I did not make it, but I am not mad about it either. I can always try again next year when it comes! I have improved a lot since Strong Force, so I will have a better chance of getting in! ^-^

X

My new song set is called "X". It will be consisting of reconstructions of early songs I have made in the past and make them brand new. Here is an example for what I have to do: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/771730

TRUTH 3 MEGACOLLAB

Right now, the plan is to finish my collab with @Skiddle and then we can discuss more details about my Truth 3 MC. The plan has not changed yet, but I am still hoping to do a song contest for Truth 3, but I will not accept entries for the contest.

2018 NEWS

With 2017 coming to a close, I wil make a 2017 tribute song within the next month. Check out my 2016 tribute here: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/717343

And so with that being said, you may have noticed that I made so many Touhou songs: http://www.newgrounds.com/playlists/view/197da56337d1730f23ddeee374817a3b
Well, I like the music and I will not stop remaking them. :D
I might have gotten a bit downhill with these songs, mainly because I haven't been able to get back into them, but don't worry, a lot more of these are in the coming months. ^-^

DUBSTEP WARS

I have submitted my entry for Dubstep Wars 2017, and here it is: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/770890
Not hoping to win, I am just entering to try something new, and I may do a second entry for Dubstep Wars, if that is allowed.

I just reached 200 audio submissions on Newgrounds! For my 200th submission, I decided to make a very special song to celebrate such a milestone. :D

I was checking one of my songs when I foudn out I got a message from somebody, so I check who it is from, and it says I got User of the Day! :D :D

For the next months, I will be very busy music-wise. Here is what I have planned:

**SKIDDLE COLLABORATION**

I have another collaboration in progress. I was asked to do a collab with Skiddle a few weeks back, and we are working on it as we speak. Unlike the other collabs I have done, there may be a chance for this song to have three parts instead of one continuous part or two parts.

**CHIPS X**

With @johnfn curreently working with CHIPS X until Sunday, this will be, no doubt, the **BIGGEST** Chips Compo for us. Please come join us on CHIPS here:

**TRUTH 3 MC**

Now for the biggest talk for this post, my first megacollab!! More news will be said later about this, so stay tuned :D

**2018 NEWS**

Stay tuned for 2018, which is just around the corner. More will be said later. :D

I just come to say good madness day to all! I do have a madness track in the works for you all! I did not do so well compared to other madness tracks, but at least I did my best on it! ^-^

I can't show you the track until more than a week from now since it is a part of CHIPS VIII hosted by @johnfn (I can't post it yet because it will spoil who made it on CHIPS).
