Right, so LB stats started working again. Here's the weekly LP pic.

Five LP gatefolds surround a pair of headphones next to an LP player. Said LPs are "Double KO" by MegaDriver, MegaDriver's eponymous album, "Starting Gate 5" (for Umamusume music), @highquality.rip's "Space Jam Charity Slam B-Ball Side", and "Relief 72 Hours" by Yurie Kokubu.
