Lots of people just aren't singles/tracks oriented, so the songs on their face lps are the ones they want to vote for. Seems like the wrong way to do things, sure, but I'm partly guilty of it myself.

I was the second loneliest ilxor with a full ballot and flying solo on the following (country and Youtube plays in brackets):
Vremya I Steklo - Imya 505 (UKR, 57.5m): Addictive Ukrainian house-pop with a ridiculously simple and effective hook.
https://youtu.be/n3Go8ub9a1k
Anna Sedokova - Poka Milii (UKR, 3.6m): In a very similar vein. Sedokova hasn't recorded much of interest since leaving the Menudo-style conveyor belt of VIA Gra ten years ago but this was an excellent return to form.
https://youtu.be/QmSvEaiaxBM
Angela Hunte & Machel Montano - Party Done (T&T, 2.5m): Montano is horrendously over-rated and over-garlanded as a solo artist but Hunte kills this and Machel provides adequate support. Soca single of the year and one of the best Trini videos in recent memory.
https://youtu.be/eHr8zZfrU_Y
Nyusha - Gde Ti, Tam Ya (RUS, 19.3m): Tempting to argue that Anna Shurochkina is working a formula, given that this sounds almost exactly like half the songs on her last album, but it's a heck of a formula. Thumping electro-pop with vaguely Eastern trappings.
https://youtu.be/IwpDzJE4fc8
Dasha Charusha ft Skriptonit - Kosmos (RUS/KAZ, 0.2m): The original version of Kosmos is a slight but pretty ballad - Kazakh rapper Skriptonit transforms it into something much more powerful.
https://youtu.be/xKoSAgDrYsE
Igor Krid - Nevesta (RUS, 21.4m): Russia's answer to Justin Timberlake with an effortlessly charming song about getting hitched.
https://youtu.be/Jg3gwyoUrhE
DKMD - Sacrificio (CAN / ITA, 0.007m): On Cologne's Giallo Disco records and squarely in step with the aesthetic of the name. An upscale version of the Italo-horror-influenced witch house stuff knocking about.
https://youtu.be/udcujCjOebk
Delta Goodrem - Wings (AUS, 1.7m): Goodrem was always fairly good at emotive low-key piano pop but this is a huge, euphoric and much better than could ever have been expected. idk why it wasn't more of a hit.
https://youtu.be/z1A2Ow7sGo0
Loose Cannon - Sick Jab (GRD, 0.006m): Relentlessly intense, mildly terrifying Grenadan party music.
https://youtu.be/NGaQvOhrWwk
Tina Karol - Sdat'sya Ti Vsegda Uspeesh' (UKR, 1.2m): OTT power ballad that Karol manages against the odds to steer into something genuinely affecting.
https://youtu.be/kG46IzgdB0Y
Elena ft. Danny Mazo - Senor Loco (ROM / COL, 5.2m): The trend of Romanian pop stars pretending to be Spanish continues unabated and this was the year's stand-out. Getting the genuinely Colombian guy to stand around in the background shouting "dale! fuego! si! si!" for most of the song might be slightly problematic tho.
https://youtu.be/lQPCWp2A_Rk
Ira Levtiskaya - Vova Tantsuet (UKR, 0.3): An oddity among oddities. I haven't been able to find out much about Levitskaya other than that she appears to have been a model at some point and is married to a minor oligarch who is presumably bankrolling her pop career. The song is probably best described as Putin-baiting oompah-pop and Ira sells it well.
https://youtu.be/cdOdCDFa1GY
Gulsen - Bangir Bangir (TUR, 156.2m): Pulsing Turkish moombah-pop.
https://youtu.be/icZ-OlVSvb4
