2023 singles
My Top 50 Songs of 2023
I tried to trim my list down to 30, the way I did last year, but it was impossible. For one thing, I started compiling singles for 2023 in January – last year, I got a late start. And for another thing, there have been way too many good songs released over the past twelve months!
So here are my top 50 songs of 2023 (in no particular order). And here is a link to the full playlist!
