This is my ninth year in a row of doing this! To me this is more traditional than watching a super bowl on a sunday. In terms of music, it wasn't the best year for pop so some spots on this list are filled by more R&B and hip hop than in years past. So enjoy that
In 2023 we learned:
- we need to bring back key changes in songs
- the government should hire more gay people (endless entertainment)
- to stop drinking IPAs, because why
Let's move on
KEY (some moods of 2023 to complement the music)
👠 = serving c***
🤷♂️ = who cares let's end it all
🖤 = I just bought sequin pants, how can I keep chasing this high
🐦 = twitter X tried to tell me this was bad and I didn't care
🧢 = actually fam I am not gay, there is no way a gay person could listen to this song
🌏 = he's cultured because he watched Eurovision
🎭 = why did I feature this man's ballad? I have no idea
