Suggested Song Selection Championship (forums pt4)
These are songs participants have submitted to be in the championship. If you are a creator and your cdlc was made before 2025 it would be much appreciated to fix it up to 2025 standards or fix any other issues it has so that the championship could be better. The chances of it being picked will most likely increase if there are paths for Lead Rhythm and Bass done properly. Unfortunatley theres a 150 song limit on setlist so there might be multiple playlists. pt4
