In popular music, a supergroup is a musical group formed by collaboration of existing solo artists and members of other musical groups.

This comic shows a concert by a supergroup formed from members of 10 musical groups whose names all begin with a number. The name of the supergroup is the sum of all those numbers, followed by the names of the original groups without their numbers. There could be 31 members of the supergroup (see below).

The title text indicates that there's a song that's a medley or mashup of songs whose titles begin with numbers. The title of this "supersong" is similarly formed by adding the numbers and following with the rest of all the titles.
