"You’ll never get bored when you try something new. There’s really no limit to what you can do." - Dr. Suess

 

And so, the year 2023 has reached it's last month, December. It is the time where we reflect on everything we've done, everything we've experienced and everything we loved this year.

 

Throughout the year, it has been a rollercoaster year for myself, from going to my lowest point in my life to a high point. From suffering from mental depression to having the best birthday yet in London, a re-discovery of fun with my friends to the highest of highs, the job change into my new nightshift job.

 

And in terms of music, while the mainstream music has gotten a bit down (according to some articles), in my opinion, it has been another great year, full of discovered goodies, foreign language enjoyment and some banging music.

 

Firstly, I'll be listing some of my favourite albums of the year, which also will include my top 3 albums of the year which I'll rank them. Last year, my album of the year was "Dawn FM" by The Weeknd, what will be the album of the year for me this year? We'll find out together. + I will leave some recommendations from the album, as well as posting the Spotify link to the album (if you want a YouTube link for the album, I'll do it for one too!)

 

Before we start the big Year-End farewell to 2023, let's see what my top 10 songs were from the last year:

1. Purple Disco Machine & Sophie and the Giants – “In The Dark”

2. Fedez, Tananai, & Mara Sattei – “LA DOLCE VITA”

3. BoomDaBash & Annalisa – “Tropicana”

4. Álvaro Soler & Topic – “Solo Para Ti”

5. Jasmine Thompson & Calum Scott – “love is just a word”

6. Alice Merton – “Same Team”

7. Annalisa – “Bellissima”

8. Silbermond – “AUF AUF”

9. Joel Corry & Becky Hill – “HISTORY”

10. Pinguini Tattici Nucleari – “Giovani Wannabe”

 

Last year, Sophie and the Giants & Purple Disco Machine were "In The Dark" and claimed the song of the year 2022, both of them even went #1 this year with "Paradise", but will it be the song of the year? Not to mention Purple Disco Machine also went #1 himself alongside Kungs with "Substitution", do they claim the song of 2023? This year also saw #1 songs from Fedez, Annalisa, Boomdabash, The Kolors and many more. In total, 23 songs (so far) have hit #1 in 2023. Which song will be having the title of "Song of the Year 2023"?

 

Hope you can all follow me throught this special occassion! There will be lots of songs you might have never heard of, but I'll be sure to include the links for them, if you want to listen to them!

Album of the Year: Annalisa - E POI SIAMO FINITI NEL VORTICE

 

WsDp067.jpg

 

There was one album, that I loved listening to a lot this year. Being a fan of the artist before, I was anticipating her new album for the year. And it exceeded my expectiations. The title basically can be translated to English as "Entering the Vortex", which is fitting considering the soundscape seems to aim for an outer-spacey vibe. Many songs on the album sound like they belong on 80's pop and it immediately is a plus point for me, liking songs like "Blinding Lights" and so on. Annalisa's vocals have been gotten much better with time and she sounds beautiful in all of the songs, the production also is fitting for the album, some of them pop-bangers, even a few ballads on there, that bring in lot of power and grace. It is hands down, my favourite album of the Year. Beating the likes of Olly Murs, Maisie Peters, Raye and Olivia Rodrigo for it, acquires a herkulean-effort, but Annalisa manages to do it. I highly recommend this album, if you want to fill your pop-itch and if you want to experience an album full with Italian-language songs. I can't wait to see what she is doing next. Also expect a couple of her songs to show up on my Singles Year-End list.

 

 

Charting songs from the album:

01 Bellissima

01 Mon Amour

01 Ragazza Sola

01 Euforia

03 Bollicine

11 Gommapiuma

13 La Crisi A Saint-Tropez

14 Rosso Corallo

16 Aria

19 Stelle

20 Indaco Violento

23 Ti Dico Solo

RAYE's album was really good, I've not gone back to it much but I love how much class she's oozed this era!

Hey Sergej! :)

 

2023 was another very fun year for following your charts! There are many songs I love here that I discovered by looking through your weekly lists, so thank you for continuing to share your impressive music taste with everybody & hopefully you'll continue to do the same into the New Year.

 

Glad to see 'Italodisco' as the biggest song of the last 12 months & 'E Poi Siamo Finiti Nel Vortice' doing the same for albums!

 

Good chart yet again.

 

Take care!

Hi Sergej, it's always a pleasure to follow your charts, very inspiring in their range. I'm looking forward to your year-end list!

 

 

This is where I find all the artists that have released stuff but have completely fallen under my radar! I'll need to give some of the Nico Santos songs a listen at some point. I do know AUF AUF though and like that a lot!
