Partially solved

Placeholder name	OP	Possible year	Note
Chart Rundown	DaviD glacius	1988	Very likely to be made by the band Memorybank
Eastern Wind	MellieTerry	1986
Edge Of A Dream	anikinvitaly	1998	Found in the 1998 movie "Nightmare Street". The film's music editor, Nancy Severinsen, claims it originated from a defunct DSM Producers library. A copyright registry was found for a DSM Producers song called "Edge of a Dream," featuring Charlie & Cindy Wilson.
Foxes In Boxes	Mike Bise	2004	From a GapBody CD, likely Lamya - Foxes In Boxes. Both artists sound identical in style and voice, and both songs released in 2004. Lamya passed away in 2009, so contact with the writer is the only way to confirm the song's identity.
Fur Rugs	Bootsnfurrugs	1970s or 80s	Was very likely composed by Andre Mayeux, but Mayeux could not remember the name of the song at all.
Here To Have Fun	CharlieMillesManson	1988	Very likely to be by the band Memorybank.
I Can Only Be Me	flamingaznboi	2000s	Produced by Stargate, written by Ne-Yo
Imagination Lives	KatePevensie	2003	This song was verifiably aired on the channel Sci-Fi in 2003, as a bumper presenting the films that would air in 2004. Some of the searchers think this song is a mashup of samples created by Sci-Fi, while others believe it is an original song. Likely made by Sci-Fi channel itself.
Kyrgyz Car Song	SuperJoe89	c. 2010s or 2020
My Wandering Fire	Alexander Alexandrov	1996	"Мой Блуждающий Огонь" in original language (Russian).
So Long	My Mixed Salad	1987
Soda Pop	Metrowax Records	1970s	Comes from an acetate disc labeled "Allied".
Such a Pity	EMI Music Publishing Norway	2007	On March 22nd, 2024, user leerose found "Laila Samuels - Such A Pity" through an ASCAP search. After contacting her, she confirmed being the artist behind the song, but she didn't have the full recording of the song. On June 2024, Laila was sent the full recording of the song by a family friend who has it recorded on a CD. She claimed that she might be able to release it "this summer", but this has yet to happen. She later said in September that she would release it in a few months.
The Endless Longing of Sea Doves	Alfredo Brvxias Fanzine	1988	Most likely the band Dead Can Dance (without Brendan and Lisa)
Treadmill Of Time	CharlieMillesManson	1980s	Very likely to be by the band Memorybank. On September 20th, Tim Addy would provide to Sam a track list for an album by Memorybank from 1987 called “Key To The Door”, which listed songs called Treadmill Of Time, Here To Have Fun, The High Ridge, Chart Rundown, The Golden Age, Suburban Empires, and Photoraphique.

Hoax

There are two kinds of Hoax Lostwave Songs. The first kind is when a user posts an entirely fabricated song (either AI generated or their own music) and pretends it is a lost song. The second kind is when a genuinely obscure song is posted and searched for but the Original Poster is proven to have knows the title and artist of the song the whole time.

I Know A Girl	Kind Of Girl
Girl Talk		AI-generated
I'm A Demo	3w0e9wm_mxMDZ01m904_121nmsam0.mp3	AI-generated
