These are the hottest tracks of the last month. Any track that was released as a single or as part of an album in January was eligible for inclusion (which is why you might see some tracks that first emerged last year).
WARNING: All tracks and their accompanying videos are completely uncensored. A number of them contain explicit language that is unsuitable for children, NSFW topics and images, discussions of potentially triggering subjects like domestic violence, and/or political commentary that may offend.
