Today's alphabet was submitted by Dominique, an amateur DJ for a local rock and swing association in France.
His comment: “My playlist try to avoid all the terrific titles that have already been given by passionate DJs and select only one song per artist.”
If you're also thinking about submitting an alphabet, then check out Dominique's helpful Google document where he listed every song of all the alphabets that have been published so far.
