I do enjoy Rita’s album but didn’t find myself returning to it much. So glad to see some love for UNHEALTHY, probably just about my least favourite album from Anne-Marie but it’s so underrated and has some amazing highlights! <3

Hey Lunar! Loving both Troye songs so far, both very different vibes but such tunes! Island is a highlight of mine from Miley's album as it definitely nails that summery sound. Also liking Dua and Sam's songs from the Barbie soundtrack, I haven't enjoyed a Sam Smith song this much since their Love Goes album!

Hey Ansel! Loved all 3 of Troye's singles this year, he's really been on top form. Glad you agree that Island is a highlight from ESV, and completely agreed about Man I Am - completely overshadowed anything from Sam's latest album for me, and it's my favourite song from the Barbie soundtrack! Thank you for commenting <3

Loads of great stuff so far. My favourites are

Loving all of the Tate and Maisie wub.gif 'exes' and 'Watch' is the best from each so far.

I'm glad 'Dance The Night' has just about made it. It works so perfectly in Barbie. 'Single Soon' and 'Red Flags' are both great too,

I'm not usually a fan of Miley but I thought 'River' was pretty fun and deserved more!

Posted by: Jade 14th January 2024, 11:21 AM

Hey Lunar hi.gif just catching up on everything now!

Great to see Ariana sneaking into your top 10 most listened artists of 2023 despite not releasing anything new as a lead artist *.* thankfully this year looks far more exciting to be a fan, with both her 7th album on the way and the first Wicked movie being released, bring it on yahoo.gif elsewhere I enjoyed the output of Taylor, Olivia, Tate, RAYE and Miley too!

My favourites from your songs so far:

100: Dua Lipa - Dance The Night
92: Tate McRae - think later
88: Troye Sivan - Rush
81: Troye Sivan - One Of Your Girls
80: Tate McRae - exes
75: Miley Cyrus - River

Great to see Troye impacting here! 'Rush' was such a fun start to the campaign and then I ended up falling in love with 'One Of Your Girls' even more wub.gif

'think later' was one of my favourite album tracks from Tate too! Shall be interesting to see what she pushes as a future single.

'Dance The Night' grew on me so much after watching Barbie, the accompanying scene was fun. Excited for more from Dua this year after how fab 'Houdini' is!

It's been a great year for both of them! Great picks for your favourites from each too.

Agreed, I was initially a bit underwhelmed by DTN but seeing it in Barbie made me love it a lot more! Glad you agree that Single Soon & Red Flags are bops.

Agree about River too! Feel like it was a bit robbed especially with how HUGE Flowers was!

Thanks so much for commenting!

Hey Jade!

Great picks! Completely agreed, Troye was definitely on point with the single choices this era *.*

'think later' is a bop! The whole album really surprised me and I think there's quite a few potential singles there!

Completely agreed about DTN too, really looking forward to seeing what Dua brings this year wub.gif

Thanks so much for commenting <3



Posted by: Sergej 14th January 2024, 11:12 PM

Great to see "The Show", "Can’t Tame Her", "Can’t Catch Me Now", "Want You Back" and "bad idea right?" on here.

Posted by: JosephChalamet 16th January 2024, 06:58 PM

The Show was my favourite non-single from Niall's album, great track! Love Can't Catch Me Now too, my favourite Olivia song of 2023.

Really like "Greedy", "Body Better", "Queen Of Kings", "My Love", "History Of Man" and "Miracle" on here.

Most of these are very high on my list. Glad to see some Maisie Peters love as well!

Posted by: Lunar 19th January 2024, 09:24 PM



Songs: 49-40

49: Mae Muller feat. Dylan - Tatiana
48: Maisie Peters - Coming of Age
47: Olivia Rodrigo - logical
46: Reneé Rapp - The Wedding Song
45: Miley Cyrus - Flowers
44: Maisie Peters - The Band And I
43: P!NK - TRUSTFALL
42: Leigh-Anne - Don’t Say Love
41: Becky Hill feat. Chase & Status - Disconnect
40: Anne-Marie - TRAINWRECK

Just making the top 50 is an absolutely stunning ballad from my top album of the year by Olivia Rodrigo. It’s a track that was towards at the bottom of my ranking when I first heard the album, but I adore it now! Another stunning song in this section is “The Wedding Song”, my highlight from Renee Rapp’s 2023 project Snow Angel. One of the biggest songs of the year from Miley Cyrus, “Flowers”, also just about made my top 50 - I think it would have been even higher had it not been a little overplayed for me.

TRUSTFALL was the single that made me want to check out P!nk’s 2023 album of the same name - SUCH a feel good bop, and Leigh-Anne’s debut single “Don’t Say Love”, my favourite of her two releases this year is another underrated bop that definitely deserved better in the charts in my opinion *.* Becky Hill’s ‘Disconnect’ is one of my favourite singles from her, instant love with that one for me!

Also in this section are some highlights from some of my top albums of the year by Anne-Marie, Mae Muller & Maisie Peters wub.gif

Nice to see "Coming Of Age", "Flowers", "The Band And I", "TRUSTFALL", "Don't Say Love" and my favourite of the latest selection "Disconnect" reaching the top 50.

Posted by: Lunar 21st January 2024, 09:34 PM



Songs: 39-30

39: Ava Max - Cold As Ice
38: Anne-Marie - NEVER LOVED ANYONE BEFORE
37: RAYE - Ice Cream Man.
36: Ava Max - Get Outta My Heart
35: Maisie Peters - Therapy
34: Olivia Rodrigo - vampire
33: Tate McRae - calgary
32: Olivia Rodrigo - ballad of a homeschooled girl
31: Tate McRae - grave
30: Tate McRae - we’re not alike

This section is (almost) the section of the album track laugh.gif stunning slower moments from Tate McRae, RAYE & Anne-Marie’s 2023 albums and some bops from Tate, Olivia & Maisie’s too. The one single in this section ‘vampire’ was a fab choice for the lead for GUTS and did a great job at getting me so excited for that record *.*

Great to see 'ballad of a homeschooled girl' so high, it's my favourite from Olivia's album and she does the rock sound well!

Posted by: Lunar 23rd January 2024, 09:35 PM



29-21

29: Bebe Rexha feat. Snoop Dogg - Satellite
28: Olivia Rodrigo - the grudge
27: Mae Muller - Nervous (In A Good Way)
26: Loreen - Tattoo
25: Mimi Webb - Both Of Us
24: Tate McRae - run for the hills
23: Olivia Rodrigo - all-american bitch
22: Anne-Marie - HAUNT YOU
21: Maisie Peters - Lost The Breakup

Bebe Rexha and Snoop Dogg teaming up on "Satellite" is such pure fun – the perfect representation of Bebe's 2023 album "Bebe." Olivia Rodrigo's "the grudge" and "all-american bitch" showcase both sides of the GUTS album, with the former being a powerful ballad with stunning lyrics and the latter delivering the perfect punk rock bop *.*

Mae Muller's "Nervous (In A Good Way)" is a standout from her “Sorry I’m Late" album, and Loreen's "Tattoo" was a huge reason why I watched Eurovision this year! Anne-Marie’s punk rock track “HAUNT YOU’, Mimi Webb's "Both Of Us" and Tate McRae's "run for the hills" are total bops that grew on me so much and I still can't get enough of them, and Maisie Peters' "Lost The Breakup" is just iconic - got me very excited for the album, so the perfect choice for a single imo! <3

She definitely does! I was hoping we'd get some more rock/punk sounds on this album and she definitely delivered with that track and a few others on GUTS too!

Thanks so much for commenting cheer.gif

Posted by: Lunar 25th January 2024, 09:18 PM

20: RAYE - Oscar Winning Tears

Album track from “My 21st Century Blues”
Lyric: "the story is about to begin"



My favourite album track from RAYE's 'My 21st Century Blues' just makes the top 20. The perfect opener to a stunning album!

Posted by: Lunar 25th January 2024, 09:19 PM

19: Ava Max - Sleepwalker

Album track from “Diamonds & Dancefloors”
Lyric: "dream of me wherever you go"



My highlight from another of my top albums of the year, this time from Ava Max. This song is such a bop and showcases exactly what Ava Max does best, pure pop fun *.*

Posted by: Lunar 25th January 2024, 09:22 PM

18: Ellie Goulding - By The End Of The Night

Album track from “Diamonds & Dancefloors”
Lyric: "Is it love? Call it chemical



From one absolute bop to the next, the single from Ellie Goulding's "Higher Than Heaven" is SUCH a fun track. Wish more of the album sounded like this <3

Posted by: Lunar 25th January 2024, 09:26 PM

17: Maisie Peters - Wendy

Album track from “The Good Witch”
Lyric: "we could live off of magic and maybes



An absolutely stunning album track from Maisie Peter's The Good Witch. The storytelling & lyrics in this song are just beautiful wub.gif

Posted by: Lunar 27th January 2024, 12:29 AM

16: Tate McRae - guilty conscience

Album track from “THINK LATER”
Lyric: "waist deep in the mess you started"



My highlight from THINK LATER - an absolute bop that has made my top 20 despite only being released in December! <3

Posted by: Lunar 27th January 2024, 12:31 AM

15: Dua Lipa - Houdini

Lead single from DL3
Lyric: "prove you've got the right to please me"



What a BOP! So excited for what Dua has to bring this year after this, the perfect lead single choice *.*

Posted by: Lunar 28th January 2024, 12:22 AM

14: Kylie Minogue - Padam Padam

Lead single from Tension
Lyric: "padam, padam"



This absolute bop had me hooked from the very first listen. What a smash, deserved all the success cheeseblock.png

Posted by: Lunar 28th January 2024, 12:26 AM

13: Taylor Swift - Hits Different

Bonus track from "Midnights (3am Edition)"
Lyric: "argumentative, antithetical dream girl"



A bonus track from Midnights that SO deserved a place on the album which was released at the beginning of the year! Love that it worked out to be a Taylor song at her lucky number #13! laugh.gif

Posted by: Lunar 28th January 2024, 12:31 AM

12: Taylor Swift - Say Don't Go (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)

Album track from "1989 (Taylor's Version)"
Lyric: "i'm trying to see the cards that you won't show"



Taylor again! This time with a stunning vault track from 1989 Taylor's Version that just missed out on my top 10. It was my favourite vault track for a while but has been recently *just about* overtaken.

Posted by: Lunar 28th January 2024, 12:33 AM

11: Taylor Swift - Castles Crumbling (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)

Album track from “Speak Now (Taylor's Version)"
Lyric: “smoke billows from my ships in the harbor"



Aaaand that makes three in a row for my queen of 2023!! wub.gif Speak Now TV is home to my favourite set of vault tracks, as shown by the fact that this is the first of 3 in my top 15. Castles Crumbling is an absolutely stunning song, and Taylor & Hayley’s voices just fit *perfectly* together on it <3

Posted by: Lunar 31st January 2024, 09:31 PM

10: Olivia Rodrigo - making the bed

Album track from “GUTS”
Lyric: “i’m playing the victim so well in my head, but it's me who's been making the bed"



What a beautiful song this is <3 the lyrics are the highlight of the song and I relate to them so much wub.gif

Posted by: Lunar 31st January 2024, 09:43 PM

9: Taylor Swift - Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)

Single from “1989 (Taylor's Version)”
Lyric: “you search in every model's bed for something greater"



The single from Taylor's latest re-recording is one that has grown on me MASSIVELY since it came out. The perfect closing track, and that BRIDGE cheeseblock.png

Posted by: Lunar 31st January 2024, 09:43 PM

8: Olivia Rodrigo - love is embarrassing

Album track from “GUTS”
Lyric: “watch as I crucify myself, for some weird second string loser who's not worth mentioning"



The second GUTS track in the top 10! Olivia really excels at the punk / rock sound - ‘love is embarrassing’ is a total bop and my highlight from the album <3

Posted by: Lunar 1st February 2024, 09:41 PM

7: Anne-Marie feat. Shania Twain - UNHEALTHY

Single from "UNHEALTHY"
Lyric: “when they try to stop me, just know nobody can"



A country pop bop collaboration I definitely didn't see coming but love nonetheless! This was my most played song of 2023 and I'm still not tired of it wub.gif

3: Taylor Swift - You’re Losing Me (From The Vault)

Album Track from “Midnights (Late Night Edition)”
Lyric: “i wouldn’t marry me either, a pathological people pleaser



A heartbreaking but beautiful song which delivers one of Taylor’s BEST bridges ever. I’ve been obsessed with this ever since I listened to it on a Google Drive link back in May, but so glad it’s finally on streaming now!

2: Griff - Vertigo

Single
Lyric: “said don't look down and then you do, you put your past on me and you



A song that I was obsessed with ever since she started teasing it on TikTok, and I’m still not tired of it. The lyrics, the bridge, it’s just a beautiful song imo imo and I can’t wait to see what Griff can deliver this year!

1: Taylor Swift - I Can See You(Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)

Single from “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)”
Lyric: wait 'til you see half the things that haven't happened yet



And we have our number 1. The best song from my favourite set of vault tracks, I Can See You is a song I was NOT expecting to hear on Speak Now but one that has grown into a discography highlight of Taylor's for me, and my favourite song of 2023! cheeseblock.png
