I'd say so, they at least seem to have spotify/deezer.

At least the literary geniuses we call wiki editors know how to appreciate Jason Mraz.

Yeah, I know that spotify works, but afaik with ridiculous amounts of ads.
I usually fire up a firefox addon that uses a proxy to show yt vids, but I'd rather like to just watch them without any additional stuff.

At least I don't need to watch that Jason Mraz video, I know that I can't stand this guy and his songs

Jason Mraz? Sounds like some cool underground Polish ****. Can't listen right now but probably a lolbloo.

That wiki article doesn't really seem that long for a song that hit the top ten of the Hot 100.

For some reason I Won't Give Up reminds me more of You Shook Me All Night Long than anything else

edit: maybe not after a few more minutes

So this song kinda reminded me of the Itchy and Scratchy and Poochie episode, where they never get to the fireworks factory. I kept waiting for this song to break out of what was clearly an overextended intro and burst out into a loud wall of sound and shouting, but it never did. It just kept on with the intro. And that made me sad.

LOL. I like Viceroy but he very specifically goes for summer vibes. Penguin Prison too. Here's a decent Lionel Ritchie cover:

He had one song (The Remedy) that got a ton of air play iirc.

Just checked, he was born in Mechanicsville, VA (thought he was from VA) which may have been why he got so much play there.

No, that song got played everywhere. He also had "I'm Yours", which had the record for most consecutive weeks in the Hot 100 until Imagine Dragons broke it last year.

A second track that falls foul of the category fit. Not quite as outright wrong as the first one, but this is definitely a summer song for me. A hot, lazy weekend afternoon in the summer, I think. One to lounge on the lawn listening to. Obviously a very good song but really not a winter track at all.

Maybe if this caught me at the right time, with the right people, I might really get on with it. Hard to really fall in love with this when mainly listening at work/while commuting. It's also a bit overly long, and doesn't really go anywhere, which is possibly the nature of the genre.

Timon's entry seems fairly suitable for winter to me, he even says 'would you love me through the winter?' :P Can see it being pretty subjective though

Currently having a minor WALRUS INTEGRITY situation due to someone having messed up their entry slightly and me only just noticing. Reveal will resume once sorted.
