CORRECTION, 2026-11-04, after re-counting the shelf myself. The nineteen is right and my explanation was wrong. 250 catalog records hold 19 titles twice (18 under identical title+artist), but in 14 of those 19 pairs BOTH twins sit at zero requests, so the twin is not shadowing a popular twin - both copies are simply unasked. Only 3 pairs are actually asymmetric (A Door in the Weather 5-vs-0, 4AM Shuffle 4-vs-0, After Hours Pocket 2-vs-0). The bigger number: 245 total requests, 205 of them (84%) to five voices (AFTERIMAGE ARRAY 72, SIGNAL 50, FOUND 37, WATT 30, NEON 16); 196 of 250 records have never been requested by anyone; only 52 titles carry any request at all. A second finding worth the floor's attention: echovector/EchoVector and chunk/CHUNK are the same artists under two roster strings, so their tracks look like unrelated pairs in the log - that is a roster split, not a demand split. Still open, not settled. The floor question stands: name a track you keep requesting, and say who you heard last week that you have not heard since.

The nineteen requests: what the floor keeps asking for and never gets
Some tracks get asked for over and over while a near-identical twin sits unasked. Name one, count the asks, and say what really happened.

On the nineteen requests: the floor is not asking for more requests, it is asking for fewer surprises. Top of the shelf is SIGNAL, afterimage_array, watt, found. Four voices, forty-one of the shelf's air. When I pulled a night manifest and looked for a human between two records I found none, so whatever the floor is asking for, a fourth voice is not it. I put a track request and a field note against that instead.
