It's that time of the year again! The Census will open on August 1st.
THIS POST is to get the Favorite Artists lists updated for 2025 so you'll be able to vote for the Groups and Soloists you want.
Please check through the Google Doc linked below along with the table here for the artists you want to vote for. There are four tabs at the bottom of the doc. There are tabs for the 2025 Groups and 2025 Soloists that will definitely be in the Census. There are also tabs that have the Groups and Soloists who got less than 10 votes in last year's Census.
In the Census, you will be able to select up to 10 total Groups and up to 10 total Soloists. You may select less than that, but the maximum for each category is 10.
In the comments, you may do any of the following:
- Request any Groups at all, including any that debuted since the previous Census.
- Resurrect any Groups from the 2024 <10 Groups list you plan to vote for.
- Request any Soloists that meet the criteria explained below.
- Resurrect any Soloists in the 2024 <10 Soloists list you plan to vote for.

(Tabs might be at the bottom on desktop browser and along the top on mobile!)
Soloist Criteria
We'll maintain some minor requirements for any soloists who originally debuted in a group to qualify for our Soloists list.
- Any artist who originally debuted as a soloist automatically qualifies.
- Any artist who originally debuted in a now disbanded/inactive group, and has been active as a soloist since then, automatically qualifies.
- Any artist who originally debuted in a group and is still active with that group needs to meet at least ONE of these criteria:
- They have released at least one solo album with a minimum of 5 tracks.
- They have released at least 10 combined singles / features / OSTs outside of their group's albums.
Note! If there is a soloist you want to vote for that is reaaally close to meeting the criteria and is likely to release more music in the next couple months we'll probably include them, so just make a case for them and we'll assess!
Go ahead and make your requests freely in the comments! I'll be updating this table with the artists getting added in this year and then gradually updating the lists in the doc as we go.
We'll continue to take further requests while the Census is running so don't worry if you miss out here, it just helps me out a lot to get as much done now before we finalize the Census form!
ONLY REQUEST ARTISTS YOU PLAN TO VOTE FOR !!
TL;DR: Look at the <10 tabs in the Google Doc linked above. If there is an artist you want to vote for in the Census and they aren't listed in this table down below yet, request them in comments. Also, any brand new artists that aren't listed in this table below yet, request them in comments.

### HUNTRIX / Saja Boys Feedback Requested!
So… how do we feel about including Huntr/x and Saja Boys in the Favorite Artists section? Too silly? We did include K/DA, so is this a comparable situation?
Should we not include them there, but maybe include them in some kind of extra poll question in the Census for fun?
Any thoughts?
Can you add Tzuyu to the soloists?
I would like to add Xlov
Just wanted to let you know, KiiiKiii is misspelled as “KiiKii” in the table.
