98. Victoria Monét - Smoke (feat. Lucky Daye)

(March 24, 2023)

from the album Jaguar II

This whole song is a definition of bi-panic for anyone who listens and watches the music video

YouTube

 

97. Tyla - Water

(July 28, 2023)

from the upcoming album Tyla

The fact that i discovered this bop through videos of hot guys shaking their juicy asses on TikTok  That's why I always root for her to become the next Main Pop Girl.

YouTube

 

Smoke kinda grew old for me but still made my list, really surprised how much I still love Water, perched for that album lowkey

93. Doechii - What It Is (Solo Version)

(March 17, 2023)

TBA

They don't make breakthrough hits like these anymore. If this bop had been released in the 2000s, it would've topped several charts worldwide.

YouTube

 

92. Janelle Monáe - Lipstick Lover

(May 11, 2023)

from the album The Age of Pleasure

SOLO version IKTFR  Love lipstick, the album is a vibe

Couldn't get into ha: Desire, I Remember Everything, Kiss Me (sadly )

[BlackoutZone]

Love the dedication to long lists  Especially filled with TASTE

Many very good picks from both good and even not-so good albums

Peggy Gou kinda smashing this year, it's what she deserves. The way you discovered Water skdhsiohdsoihdioshodihshdiso

 

You're 100% right about gecs, their music is more... traditional rock leaning now than it is noisey. At least listening to 1000 gecs and 10000 gecs back to back.

ajkffskl the way my FYP basically calling me britIsh cigarettes i'm gonna throw up

90. IVE - Baddie

(October 13, 2023)

from the EP I've Mine

I'm sorry, but I'm addicted to Baddie(s). It's like they're doing quirky Red Velvet concept and they're doing it flawlessly.

YouTube

 

89. Brittany Howard - What Now

(October 13, 2023)

from the upcoming album What Now

The lead singer of rock band Alabama Shakes will be back with her sophomore album in February next year, and my god, this is such a good ass lead single. I just know the album is going to be great.

YouTube

 

88. Olivia Rodrigo - vampire

(June 30, 2023)

from the album Guts

Olivia made her own version of Happier Than Ever and I don't know how I feel about it. On one side I'm happy, but on the other, I feel so bad for her because even she can't escape being taken advantage of by men much older than her, like so many young women in Hollywood to the point that it becomes a pattern that desperately needs to be fixed.

YouTube

 

87. Karol G & Shakira - TQG

(February 24, 2023)

from the album Mañana Será Bonito

I can't believe Shakira had back-to-back hits about sh*tting on her ex, and all of them are bops. Pique's career has already finished before 2023 even begins

YouTube

 

86. Tkay Maidza - Out Of Luck (feat. Lolo Zouaï & Amber Mark)

(October 4, 2023)

from the album Sweet Justice

This is boygenius if they're slayed

YouTube

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

 

 

85. Zara Larsson - Can't Tame Her

(January 26, 2023)

from the upcoming album Venus

One thing about Ms. Larsson is that she loves channeling her Swedish heritage so she can release one of the best pop songs of the year.

YouTube

 

84. Tinashe - Needs

(August 18, 2023)

from the album BB/Ang3l

The REAL queen of K-pop shows these girls how it's done, and I love it. I can't wait for K-pop girl groups to film their music videos at the grocery store.

YouTube

 

83. Tkay Maidza & Flume - Silent Assassin

(July 7, 2023)

from the album Sweet Justice

I'm going to suck Flume's dick all night long for making this sick ass beat and rob The Recording Academy so I can give Tkay her deserve Grammy for this.

YouTube

 

82. Caroline Polachek - Smoke

(April 6, 2023)

from the album Desire, I Want to Turn Into You

I just know she smoked the heaviest blunt while making this track. Even I start to levitate every time I hear this song.

YouTube

 

81. Red Velvet - Chill Kill

(November 13, 2023)

from the album Chill Kill

Even though I like Red Velvet more with a bright concept, there's something about them that can successfully pull off a darker concept better than any K-Pop girl group. This might not be their best title track, but it's definitely an improvement from their latest comeback.

YouTube

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

 

 

80. Troye Sivan - One Of Your Girls

(October 13, 2023)

from the album Something to Give Each Other

It's cracking me up to think this is the first time ever that i've seen gay people genuinely GAGGED at gay artist releasing music... maybe since Lil Nas X?

YouTube

 

79. Ava Max - Dancing's Done

(December 20, 2022)

from the album Diamonds & Dancefloors

Well, this is might be her best single she's ever released; no questions about it. Ava was in her ABBA's bag with this one. A darker one, I might add.

YouTube

 

78. P!nk - TRUSTFALL

(January 27, 2023)

from the album Trustfall

Her new album might be the most mid-record I've ever listened to this year, but P!nk went so hard with the title track. She had no choice but to break the "soccer mom music" allegation with this one.

YouTube

 

77. aespa - Welcome To MY World (Feat. nævis)

(May 2, 2023)

from the EP My World

I remember when Lee Soo-man said that aespa would release songs about environmentalism. Everyone, including their mama and grandparents, was having a meltdown. But now that they have released this, I may have to admit that this is their best song since the Savage era. He ate that one thing!

YouTube

 

76. Halle - Angel

(August 4, 2023)

TBA

This is such a strong debut single, in my opinion, because it fits her so well. Astonishingly lush production and beautiful vocals from hers truly complement each other so well that I'm just... in awe every time I listen to it.

YouTube

[rvx]

Great sets 

[Album Leak]

LOVE to see the Tkay Maidza praise! Silent Assassin is dope, I'm okay with Out Of Luck. Silent Justice kinda one of the best albums this year.

[Alldeezy]

Tkay + Zara + Tinashe + Troye + Ava

[Spartak92]

Another set with a nope,

I'll be checking the next one

[GreatestLoveofAll]

Gosh I forgot about the P!nk song. I havent listened to the album in full and the lead was definetly not a good song but damn "Trustfall" is quite a listen. Loved that

 

Yes for Troye- its a standout for me but i still havent gotten into it as much as the other singles. video is top notch tho

 

Angel!! my cousin loved this song. i heard it once and she definetly has a great future imo but i wish she and her sister would give us another album. Ungodly Hour is a classic.

 

Love the Olivia stanning, 'vampire' was the strongest lead single this year for me and i love how in step with is with her previous album but also a step forward. and Brittany howard omg?? this is a sign to keep track of her new music cause i been obsessed with her rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" for like, ever.

[TalkThatRihanna]

Can’t Tame Her just gives that rush of energy

 

Dancing’s Gone and One Of Your Girls were cute as well

[JGibson]

Trustfall + vampire 

[Kern]

I originally didn't like Needs but it grew on me a lot.

 

Vampire too high imo!! Unless there's more Olivia coming.

Yeah i feel like Needs is one of those songs that desperately need to go viral I still have hope for her to take off independently like RAYE

Yeah honestly Both Chloe and Halle's solos don't stand out enough. It's clear that both of them cannot be separated. Like these record labels, they need to realize that not all groups can produce solo superstars. But I still have hope for my girls to succeed.

75. Jack Black (credited as Bowser) - Peaches

(April 7, 2023)

from the album The Super Mario Bros. Movie (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

I just know SNL writers were punching the air when they saw Bowser singing in the movie lmao

YouTube

 

74. Tainy & JhayCo - FANTASMA | AVC

(June 1, 2023)

from the album Data

I'm a sucker for multiple songs in one, and this song successfully pulled this off. When Tainy is good, he always makes BANGERS.

YouTube

 

73. Caroline Polachek - Dang

(October 17, 2023)

TBA

I don't know if this is her intention or not, but I really find this song so funny for some reason, in a good way, of course.

YouTube

 

72. Beyoncé - AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM (feat. Kendrick Lamar)

(May 19, 2023)

from the album Renaissance

“I’m an honorary Bey-hive” girl, get in the line!

YouTube

 

71. Kesha - Eat the Acid

(April 28, 2023)

from the album Gag Order

Fine Line might be boring, but Eat the Acid is not something I would expect from her, and it's really really good!

YouTube

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

 

 

70. Slayyyter - Out of Time

(June 9, 2023)

from the album Starfucker

The way she listened to Future Starts Now and said, "I can make this 10x better than this," and she absolutely did

YouTube

 

69. Gorillaz - Silent Running (feat. Adeleye Omotayo)

(January 27, 2023)

from the album Cracker Island

No matter how much the quality of their music declines,  you will never make me hate these four animated losers

YouTube

 

68. Mitski - Heaven

(August 23, 2023)

from the album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We

Out of all the songs titled "Heaven" this year, this is definitely one of the best ones. Mitski is so back

YouTube

 

67. Charli XCX - Speed Drive

(June 29, 2023)

from the album Barbie the Album

The way Charli sampled Robyn's Cobrastyle and Toni Basil's Hey Mickey and somehow this song doesn't sound disjointed and feels like a complete song?! She really studied the Renaissance school of sample

YouTube

 

66. Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding - Miracle

(March 10, 2023)

TBA

I can't believe Calvin Harris single-handely is reviving Euro-trance in the 2020s. At least he's repackaging and doing something new with his sounds compared to other DJs like David Guetta and Kygo, who only rely on nostalgia by sampling previous hits into their new music.
