Mosquito period

 

Now and Then was indeed really good

 I just listened to A Running Start for the first time and I like it! I don’t know much about Stufjen but Death with Dignity is that song

 

Ready for the taste in the Top 5

 

Death with Dignity is just soo good. I cried when i first listen to it. Carrie & Lowell really defined my 2010s

Houdini is cute but not anywhere closet to Future nostalgia masterpieces 

 

Now and then 

Dua always cooking something really good so i'm not worried at all

Softscars is great  On My Mama and Virgo's Groove  the ladies did that

 

Mitski and PinkPantheress overrated x

 

Pearls  SO HAPPY TO SEE ROOFTOPS HERE AHHH   A&W (she didn't top NFR with it tho)

 

I Wish You Roses is magical  

 

Show Me How is great!

 

Houdini  big bop

Moonlight is a masterpiece as well

SPEAK ON IT! Kali kinda devoured this year better than anyone. Truly the dark horse of 2023

Right?! The way Ditto lowkey better than their music in 2023. I don't think they will top this in a long time i fear.

 

At frist i didn't have much faith when NTMY has Central Cee on but but my gosh i'm so glad i actually took a chance on it. It easily my favorite songs of hers so far

OMG YOU'RE BACK?! Let me tune in on you list this year!

Before revealing the top 5 and the Album's list, here's the 20 Worst Singles of 2023 (in my opinion)

 

 

 

20. SHINee - HARD

(June 26, 2023)

from the album Hard

The NCTfication of SHINee needs to stop, like I'm so serious. I let it slide during the Don't Call Me era, but now it's becoming blatant to the point where it's ridiculous. It's hands-down their worst title track in their career.

 

19. David Guetta, Anne-Marie & Coi Leray - Baby Don't Hurt Me

(April 6, 2023)

from the EP Best Night of Your Life

Somehow David Guetta made a song worse than Blue (I'm Good).

 

18. Kim Petras & Nicki Minaj - Alone

(April 21, 2023)

from the album Feed the Beast

I remember when the gays were MAD AS HELL when they found out this song had trap elements. Baby, just listen to the goddamn Better Off Alone!

 

17. Kygo, Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson - Say Say Say

(March 31, 2023)

TBA    

I mean... why bother at this point, right?!

 

16. Bella Poarch & Lauv - Crush

(September 15, 2023)

TBA    

We love a YouTube ad song.

 

15. NMIXX - Young, Dumb, Stupid 

(March 13, 2023)  

from the album Expérgo

You can't put a SNEAKERS by ITZY's wig and be SNEAKERS by ITZY.

 

14. Shawn Mendes - WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DYING FOR ?

(June 8, 2023)

TBA    

How did you make a song about the climate crisis that sounds like a breakup song?!

 

13. ¥$ (Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign) - Vultures (feat. Bump J & Lil Durk)

(November 22, 2023)

from the upcoming album Vultures     

"How I’m anti-Semitic? I just ****** a Jewish b*tch" ....yeah no.

 

12. Jason Derulo - When Love Sucks (feat. Dido)    

May 18, 2023.    

TBA    

At the end of the day, Mrs. Dido is still getting a check from this lame ass Thank You sample to this lame ass song.

 

11. Meghan Trainor - Mother

(March 27, 2023)

from the album Takin' It Back (Deluxe)

A millenial white woman went through stan twitter with her gay BFF and said, "I have this song idea for the gays" or whatever.

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

 

 

 

10. Jax - Cinderella Snapped

(March 3, 2023)

TBA

We really don't need Buzzfeed-ass music in the 2020s.

 

9. Jason Aldean - Try That in a Small Town

(May 22, 2023)

from the album Highway Desperado

These county male singers need to go back to singing about drinking beer, driving their pick-up truck, or flirting with white blonde country girls instead of being f*cking racist like—I'm so serious!

 

8. Jimin - Set Me Free Pt. 2

(March 17, 2023)

from the album Face     

Mickey Mouse ass voice

 

7. NLE Choppa - ITS GETTING HOT

(July 27, 2023)

from the album Cottonwood 2

In 2024, rappers need to stop sampling hit songs post-2000s and go back to sampling songs from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, like the good ol' days!

 

6. Coi Leray - My Body    

(April 28, 2023)

from the album Coi

It's insulting that people compare this song to any CupcakKe song. She never made music as bad as this.

 

5. Machine Gun Kelly - PRESSURE

(May 30, 2023)

TBA

He doesn't need to prove to himself that he's still a rapper. Seriously.

 

4. Thirty Seconds to Mars - Get Up Kid

(July 14, 2023)

from the album It's the End of the World but It's a Beautiful Day

It's really weird listening to inspirational songs like this one when Jared Leto refers to kids or even minors in general.

 

3. Grimes & Illangelo - I Wanna Be Software

(July 28, 2023)

TBA

A musician who regretted divorcing her billionaire husband and decided to make the worst song you can possibly imagine

 

2. Central Cee - LET GO    

(December 15, 2022)

TBA

Hearing the lyrics "You said that p*ssy mine, so why'd you let it go" with the Let Her Go sample mixed with drill is so unserious.

 

1. Adonis - My Man Freestyle

(October 15, 2023)

TBA

I know that Drake wants to have his own nepo baby, but babe, let your six-year-old be a kid and enjoy his Skibidi Toilet on his iPad!

[Alldeezy]

Pressure & Alone  

 

Agree with the rest though 

 

[Legend E]

Literally not one good song, you snapped  (tho mother is a trash bop tbh)

[Spartak92]

I only heard that 30STM song and yes, it sucks, the other ones meh, not interested on those artists tbh. (If I make a worst singles list, I would be exiled from ATRL lol)

[worldwide angel]

this list  just terrible song after terrible song

[rvx]

I never thought I'd find a worst songs list where I would agree with every choice, especially Baby Don't Hurt Me 

[JGibson]

Try That In A Small Town deserves its place on the worst list. 

[Kiss It Better]

i haven't even heard the song (nor will i) but poor kid adonis topping the list 

[Renzo_]

This new album from 30STM is a total mess.

 

I can’t stand Kanye West, either.

[TheWayWeWere]

Baby Don't Hurt Me is so cringe I need that trend with using old samples for quick dance hits to be OVER

Alone is so unergetic One of the worst songs from album tbh

Grimes' fall should've been in the books I honestly can't even listen to her good music anymore

[perpetual novice]

You ate with some of these picks for worst singles, the Grimes single especially annoys me, the quality of her music NOSE DIVED after Art Angels

Well it is time for the SOTY reveal and Album/EP list. Thank you all for coming and Happy Holidays and have a great weekned. And don't forget to steam DJ Play a Christmas Song!

 

 

 

 

05. Sufjan Stevens - So You Are Tired

(August 14, 2023)

from the album Javelin

This is legit one of his best songs he ever created. Pure Magical

YouTube

 

04. Danny Brown - Jenn's Terrific Vacation (feat. Kassa Overall)

(November 14, 2023)

from the album Quaranta     

The way this song had me on chokehold for the first time I've listened to it. Truly one of the highlights from the album and also this year too.

YouTube

 

03. Foo Fighters - The Teacher

(May 30, 2023)

from the album But Here We Are

This song is so emotional to the point that it breaks me every time I listen to it. If you had told me at the end of 2022 that Foo Fighter would make a freaking 10-minute track masterpiece and succeed at it, then I wouldn't have believed you.

YouTube

 

02. Björk - Oral (feat. ROSALÍA)

(November 21, 2023)

TBA

Uncanney music video aside, imagine putting out a song from your archive back in 1998, remastered it in early 2023, and it still sounds modern. Not every artist could do it. I just know those fish in Iceland were happy as hell that Björk saves their lives.

YouTube

 

01. Kelela - Contact

(January 17, 2023)

from the album Raven

PLEASE STAND UP FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM

YouTube

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

 

 

100. Noname - Sundial

(August 11, 2023)

This album is good and has a lot of potential, but man, the anti-semitic verse from one of her features and her defense of it make it even worse than I've imagined. I am this close 🤏 to not putting this album on my list.

Recommended tracks: gospel?, black mirror, namesake & hold me down

Spotify

 

99. Kevin Abstract - Blanket

(November 3, 2023)

There's been mixed reception for this new album, but honestly, I kind of like it. Kevin going for indie rock is not a bad concept on paper, but there's a lot that needs to improve, for sure. I mean, not everyone can be Lil Yachty by making great psychedelic rock on their first try, but that's okay.

Recommended tracks: The Greys, Voyager, When The Rope Post 2 Break, My Friend

Spotify

 

98. Sandara Park - Sandara Park

(July 12, 2023)

2NE1 might be long gone, but Dara still does her best to put out new music, and she actually succeeds with this one, shockingly. I might say this is the best 2NE1 solo music.

Recommended tracks: HAPPY ENDING, FESTIVAL & T MAP

Spotify

 

97. Kimbra - A Reckoning

(January 27, 2023)

This is Kimbra's first album in roughly 5 years, and I've seen mixed reactions to this new album a lot. I actually don’t know how I completely feel about this one, but for me, this is a fine listening experience.

Recommended tracks: Replay!, Save Me & Foolish Thinking

Spotify

 

96. Bad Bunny - nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana

(October 13, 2023)

For me, this is a step down compared to last year's Un verano sin ti because it isn't as instant as that album, but it is still a grower, and it has a couple of songs that I genuinely like.

Recommended tracks: NADIE SABE. WHERE SHE GOES & MONACO

Spotify

 

95. Jungle - Volcano    

(August 11, 2023)

I'm honestly kind of surprised that i like this album. But i have to admit that this is one of those albums that you listen to on Spotify playlists, on shuffle.

Recommended tracks: Back On 74, Candle Flame & PROBLEMZ

Spotify

 

94. Alaska Reid - Disenchanter

(July 14, 2023)

When I found out that A. G. Cook produced this album, I was pumped to see what kind of pots and pans he was about to make here. But imagine my surprise that it's the exact opposite of what I would expect. I like it. It's an addictive blend of pop, rock, and electronic that feels nostalgic and fresh.

Recommended tracks: Back To This, She Wonders & Leftover

Spotify

 

93. Kelly Clarkson - chemistry (Deluxe)

(September 22, 2023)

I've been waiting for New Kelly's album for a long time, and it's finally here. Even though I've expected a lot since her cover of Billie's HTE is just that goddamn good, this album really showcases how good of a vocalist Kelly is, and I'm not mad at it.

Recommended tracks: skip this part, mine, red flag collector & favorite kind of high

Spotify

 

92. Tori Kelly - tori

(July 28, 2023)

Tori is back making more mainstream-type music with this new EP. This is a collection of six new songs that were stunning and engaging to listen to from start to finish. It's kind of obvious that she's going for more Y2K-R&B from the lead single.

Recommended tracks: shelter, cut & missin u

Spotify

 

91. Reneé Rapp - Snow Angel (Deluxe)

(November 17, 2023)

This is not bad for a debut studio album, to be honest. Reneé has a great range of vocals, and she isn't afraid to experiment with them. There's a lot to improve from here, but I still see a great future for her.

Recommended tracks: Snow Angel, Talk Too Much, I Hate Boston & Pretty Girls

Spotify

[Alldeezy]

Foo Fighters at #3  

 

Kelly 

[Spartak92]

Foo Fighters really unexpected tbh.

[Sunderland 4ever]

The Teacher is a sick track. I hadn't liked a 10-minute song so much since Preoccupations (formerly known as Viet Cong) - Death.

 

From the albums list I have listened to Alaska Reid - Disenchanter. An okay album, to be quite frank.

[Kiss It Better]

Contact SOTY YESSSSS 

 

i really need to check out Jungle's album cause everyone's been talking about it and i liked the song with Channel Tres 

[Renzo_]

Foo Fighters  Love their new stuff.

[TheWayWeWere]

Oral is one of the best Bjork's songs in YEARS I kinda want to heard original demo tho

Contact #1 WHEW

 

Chemistry was cute, but did not have enough replay value like her previous records
