The next round of monthly top 10 voting opened earlier this week and we’re a little slow off the mark in posting this; that means there’s only 3 and a bit days left at time of posting to put forward your faves! Luck’s complete October playlist has nearly 200(!) videos to help you decide and you can submit your votes for between 3 and 10 songs right here.

Violight – Becoming Popular (covering Daniel Ingram & Kazumi Evans) | Pop
We probably don’t feature enough purely vocal covers, so this is a nice welcome addition to our usual features. Violight’s cover of Rarity’s solo song Becoming Popular is delightful with a bit of a softer touch than the original. She even handles the harmony line fabulously!
RedWire – Never Satisfied | Drumstep
It’s probably fair to say RedWire is channelling strong Glaze energy in this song about Sombra, but that doesn’t make it any less original! The long introduction to this song builds plenty of suspense which falls into this interesting drop that keeps a driving rhythm whilst adding some tasty syncopation too. Lots of arpeggiating elements keep the long instrumental sections full of ear candy and RedWire’s heavily processed vocals bring the same heavy, dark atmosphere that Sombra’s shadow creates.
Top 10 Brony Songs of September 2023
Your votes have been counted for September’s Top 10 and it’s time to reveal the winners! It’s fair to say that a certain compilation album has had an influence on the numbers but who’s taken the top spot? Only one way to find out… Well done to everyone who made the rankings – another month of great music!
SCR4TCHK4T – snackpack (feat. rawrity) | Trap / Hyperpop
Little bit late to the party on this one but it’s too cute to miss! This fun little collab from SCR4TCH and rawr is a super danceable song about a cute mare and tasty snacks. The combination of snappy trap drums with very warm synth sounds underneath makes it feel both contemporary and nostalgic to me; perhaps evoking the same sense of longing for the foalhood snacks that it feels like you were enjoying just yesterday…
Anamore – Hoof to Heart Forever | Symphonic Rock
The G5 music train keeps on rolling with this song inspired by A New Generation from Anamore! It’s actually a new version of an older song of hers, now with her own lyrics and vocals and a re-worked instrumental with an eclectic mix of stylistic influences. Check it out if you need something with an uplifting feel or a reminder that friendship is forever!
rawrity – ready or not! | pop
rawrity’s feel good pop tunes just keep on coming! ready or not has a sound with a sort of unique blend of indie and electronica, that somehow feels both new and nostalgic at the same time. Take a listen and marvel with her at the prettiest purple princess idol!
EveryDayDashie – Crusade for the Lost Mark | Medieval / Epic Orchestral
EveryDayDashie’s far from the first pony to have a go at big epic medieval sounds, but they’ve sure nailed it with and put their own mark on the style! Lots of layers of percussion create a driving rhythm and a blend of woodwind and string instruments make melodies that cut through the wall of sound that hits you. If you like this, be sure to check the rest of Dashie’s collection of genre fusions – mixing various world styles with more contemporary sounds.
