Ewan Chaos Posted December 30, 2022 Posted December 30, 2022 Hello loves! I've been way too busy to keep up with an updated list this year and with ATRL dying for a lot of December I mostly figured: "why bother!" But I decided to change my mind since I was already keeping an album list going throughout the year, so why not just throw together 100 songs and the EPs I listened to as well. So please check out my favorites of the year below, and I'll try to comment on everyone's Best Ofs as well, but if I miss ya feel free to tag me! Feel free to check out my full (album) list including favorite songs and my thoughts on every album I listened to this year over on my RYM. Kisses!

MP2K Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 I'll just stop by to say we always have similarities so not with highlighting anything in particular because it is too much. Glad you still posted. Totally understand the dump. Myself and others are remaining persistent and still posting despite the board being a mess because I already did my graphics and things lol
TheWayWeWere Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 so sad we've been robber of your updater alphabet lists on topic: Save Me EP major discover of Empress Of for me Muna should've made main list tbh Paolo Nutini nice to know that I'm not the only one who listens to him on atrl Laurel Hell is a bit low Fossora, Dirt Femme Crash top 5 the way this era feared me in the beggining (especially with her previous Sucker sellout era), but instead turned of as a pop excellence Bey getting another #1 so many cools songs on the list let me appreciate Betty's Weekend (finally some love for her), Free Yourself (Jessie is surrealisticaly amazing), Okay Okay (THE best song for album), Pink Convertible (I prefer Happy Loner, but both are amazing), This Is Why (the way this song alone better than Hayley's solo carreer), Don't Forget (i'm gonna be silent about this gal, my feelings are still hurting)
worldwide angel Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 need to write out a full post about this but in the meantime, i love it! very strong list with some permeates in interested in taking to 2023 with me Happy New Year’s Eve
TRF. Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 AAAAAA the taste Love seeing Hikki, Charli and Bey in the top 3! And the songs list is great too!!! Delivered as always
Remmy Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Empress Of's EP was cute. Sad to see MUNA miss the main list Although I'm kinda fine with St. Lucia also not making it. I love them but each release seems to be weaker than the previous one. Top 75 Albums of the Year~ 60. Yumi Zouma, Present Tense || Enjoyed more than expected 57. Angel Olsen, Big Time || Super underwhelming Only 2 tracks really stuck with me 45. The Beths. Expert in a Dying Field || A good time, still weird that A Real Thing wasn't included 37. Amber Mark, Three Dimensions Deep || Never heard of her until 2022, lovely album 27. Sobs, Air Guitar || Never heard of them until 2022, cute album 25. Rina Sawayama, Hold the Girl || amazing & a grower 22. Tove Lo, Dirt Femme || mildly amazing & a grower 9. Hatchie, Giving the World Away || excellence 8. The Weeknd, Dawn FM 7. Foxes, The Kick || excellence [2] ... also these 3 in a row whew 5. Charli XCX, Crash 3. Carly Rae Jepsen, The Loneliest Time || excellence [3] 2. Confidence Man, Tilt || Oh wow, surprised to see this anywhere near #2. Just like their debut, I'd say this is half great & half filler, although CMFCP had higher highs. 1. Beyonce, Renaissance || excellence [4] and a very well deserved #1 Top 100 Songs of the Year~ Amber Mark, What It Is || period Angel Olson, All the Good Times || 1 of 2 songs I remember/enjoy! Bad Suns, Heaven is a Place in My Head || YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS The Beths, Knees Deep || period [2] Betty Who, Weekend Beyonce, Pure / Honey || YASSSS!! Carly Rae Jepsen [Rufus Wainwright], The Loneliest Time || an eat Charli XCX, Baby || an eat [2] Foxes, Forgive Yourself || YASSSS!! [2] Hatchie, Twin Jessie Ware, Free Yourself Kimbra, Replay! || an eat (which I didn't expect after Save Me came & went) Lizzo, About Damn Time Magdalena Bay, Unconditional || YASSSS!! [3] Muna, What I Want || YASSSS!! [4] Paramore, This Is Why || period [3] Rina Sawayama, This Hell St. Lucia, Rocket On My Feet || great grower Steve Lacy, Bad Habit Tinashe [Channel Tres], HMU For a Good Time || YASSSS!! [5] Tove Lo, No One Dies From Love || period [4] The Weeknd, Sacrifice Years & Years, Muscle Yumi Zouma, In the Eyes of Our Love || period [5] Pretty solid lists overall Wish this Best Of season wasn't such a flop but oh well, I can definitely understand why you dumped nn. Seeing (Done!) in the title was kinda funny. Happy New Year!!!
