So, really, the "Fall of the Midnight City" may have actually also been the "(Temporary) Fall of the Red 40", as we went over a month without an update. But there is a good reason for this: I have been battling sickness and anxiety issues for over a month now. I've only really had time to judge ATRL's Next Top Member and moderate. It's been brutal.
But never fret, this will be coming back. In fact, just to give you a taste of what has been going on, allow me to give you a bare bones look at this week's top 40!
(Note: I will get around to commenting on your countdowns before Saturday. TRUST ME.)
