This year has been incredibly tough, if not just straight-up awful in my opinion, only rivaling 2020 in levels of how terrible things were. Lots of horrible news constantly, having to go through some genuinely upsetting stuff, it's something I'm eager to leave behind for good, but honestly? Looking at the state of things, I still have a lingering feeling that it might just get worse. But we have to keep it pushing no matter what, right? Music has always been good as a coping mechanism for me personally, and this year it has been no exception. Either as a method of "escapism", or as a way to mirror the sentiments of anger or sadness you might be going through, it is something that's always reliable. I feel like, aside from being a ranking of What I Believe Is Best (whatever that might be), I feel like all these records, songs, videos, etc. are here because they meant something among this uncertainty. Also it's always fun (albeit time-consuming) to do these year-end round-ups and I really need them this time around, so let's get to it!

Previous editions: 2017 2018 2019 2020 2010-2019 2021 2022 Tracking period: 09/12/2022 - 09/12/2023

Hi everyone! After many years it's a pleasure to share with you my favorite songs of the year. Musically this year was an opportunity to discover many new acts and appreciate the new work of some bands that I've been following for many years. Furthermore. I've finally managed to attend some of my faves concerts in my country and abroad. You can expect many alternative, rock and indie bands as well as some pop acts. My Best Of 2013 was the last one I posted on ATRL. You can check it out here.

Lee's Best of 2023 TV & Music

It's the most wonderful time of the year~ I am very excited to announce my top 50 songs of 2023 determined by crownnote.com this year~ This is the very first time I'm doing so~ There are a lot of pleasant surprises to both me and you tbh~ Stay tuned for more information~

JGib's Best of 2023 | Starts 12.10.2023: Music list cutoff eligibility date for Top 360 of 2023: 12.06.2023. Welcome to the 2023 edition of the JGib's Best of lists here on ATRL. Updates will also be posted to Threads and my personal FB page. X will get select updates. Musically, this has been a big year for Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, Luke Combs, Shinedown, Fall Out Boy, Bailey Zimmerman, Foo Fighters, Taylor Swift, Paramore, and Blink-182. Staind came back after a long hiatus. This year saw the reuniting of S Club 7, and a couple of months after the official announcement, Paul Cattermole passed away. In October, their Good Times Tour came to various cities across the UK and Ireland that later expanded to the US and Canada (of which that leg got pushed back to February of 2024).. As a result of Cattermole's death, S Club 7 reverted back to their S Club name from the Seeing Double era when he departed the band in 2002. Hannah Spearritt, who was twice girlfriend to Cattermole, stepped down from the tour (but is potentially open to rejoining), thus leaving S Club with 5 members. In July of this year, they released their comeback single These Are The Days, and there are hopes that they will release more new songs and/or a proper album next year. Also, there are ongoing efforts to bring the B-side songs of S Club's discography such as Stand By You, So Right, and Our Time Has Come to streaming services, and just before Cattermole's death, Seeing Double and their songs became streamable worldwide. RIP Paul Cattermole. 2023 brought the end of MTV News in the USA. Over its 36 years in existence, MTV News birthed legends in Kurt Loder, SuChin Pak, John Norris, Tabitha Soren, Gideon Yago, Serena Altschul, and more. The consequences of the appalling Dobbs ruling continue to be felt, as many red states continued passing abortion bans with limited exceptions. Ohio was the site of 2 referendums that dealt with abortion one way or another: The August referendum was to increase the passage threshold to 60%, and that was thankfully shot down by the voters. In the November referendum, Ohio voted to enact abortion protections in the constitution. On October 7th, Israel and Palestine were in the news again worldwide, as Hamas initiated the attack that caused Israel to attack, thus causing a full-scale conflict between the two sides in which both sides committed war crimes. The Israel Apartheid State's continued repression of Palestinians in occupied West Bank and Gaza was a key factor as to why Hamas launched their October 7th attack against Israel. The war has caused humanitarian strife in occupied Gaza, sparking fears of a 2nd Nakba, as Israel seeks to eliminate Gaza entirely. It is time for a permanent ceasefire to be enacted in the Gaza conflict. Donald Trump has faced 4 indictments and 91+ counts so far: New York City (Stormy Daniels hush money payments), D.C. (January 6th Insurrection and efforts to overturn the 2020 elections), Florida (classified documents theft), and Georgia (efforts to overturn the 2020 elections). There is a high likelihood that Trump will be on trial during parts of the 2024 Presidential campaign season for at least one or two of the indictments, and could potentially be in jail. He also faces indictments over Trump Organization in New York. This year continues the full-fledged assault on LGBTQ+ rights in the USA, as several red states enacted bans on gender-affirming care for trans youths (and in certain cases, trans adults) on the false basis that gender-affirming care is equivalent to "child abuse" and "genital mutilation" (which it isn't equivalent to such), forced outing laws, Don't Say Gay or Trans laws in schools, drag show bans, and trans sports bans that aren't really about "fairness in women's sports". Brands like Disney, Target, and Bud Light were subject to intense backlash campaigns by right-wing anti-LGBTQ+ extremists over their LGBTQ+ inclusion policies. Bud Light, in particular, got the brunt of the backlash over putting trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney on a beer can that wasn't intended to be sold. The company faced angry boycotts from the right over putting Mulvaney in the ad at all, while the left and LGBTQ+ allies were infuriated at the company's decision to not stand by Mulvaney after backlash hit. The US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) continues to be an instrument for radical right-wing rule, as they ruled to ban affirmative action in colleges (Students For Fair Admissions v. Harvard and Students For Fair Admissions v. UNC), granted expanded free speech protections for anti-LGBTQ+ extremists on a case that was built on lies (303 Creative v. Elenis), limited the scope of wetlands protection (Sackett v. EPA) and prohibited President Biden's student loans program from taking effect (Biden v. Nebraska). It had a few gems of good, however, as it rejected the insane "Independent State Legislature Theory" in Moore v. Harper, rejected Texas and Louisiana's standing to challenge President Biden's immigration laws in United States v. Texas, and forced Alabama to draw a 2nd VRA-compliant district in Alabama in Merrill v. Milligan. The right-wing book-banning crusade has hit libraries and schools hard, and books banned disproportionately have pro-LGBTQ and pro-racial justice themes, as do books centering on a POC perspective. The 2024 elections are coming thick and fast, as incumbent President Joe Biden (D) and former "President" Donald Trump (R) are likely to be the nominees again. This year has been the year of Taylor Swift, as she is currently dating Chiefs TE Travis Kelce, and was named Time Person Of The Year. Elon Musk's destruction of X (formerly Twitter) continues, as it has spawned Twitter-like alternatives in Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads. The Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to march one, as Ukraine has mostly held serve and even gained back a few previously Russian areas. COVID and its variants still exist, but news and awareness of COVID fell sharply compared to 2020-2022. On the sports side, Arsenal tragically blew an 8-point lead in the Premier League title race and lost to Manchester City by 5 points, as City won their 3rd straight Premier League time on their way to a treble (PL, UCL, and FA Cup). The injuries to William Saliba and Takehiro Tomiyasu in the same game (an UEL match against Sporting CP in which they lost on penalty kicks and got bounced out in) proved costly, as did that three-game stretch of draws against Liverpool, West Ham, and Southampton, in which they led 2-0 in two of the three games in that stretch (LIV and WHU) and drew 2-2. Currently, there is a 4-way title race in the Premier League, as Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Manchester City are all vying for the title. Manchester City beat their crosstown derby rival Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup as part of their treble. Manchester City could be facing massive discipline, and so does Chelsea, in which automatic relegation and/or title forfeitures could be a real possibility. Everton currently faces a 10-point deduction that is subject to appeal. The UEFA Champions League winners were Manchester City, as they beat Inter Milan 1-0. The UEFA Europa League was won by Sevilla 1-1 [4-1] on penalties over Roma to gain them a spot in this year's UCL (thus giving Spain a 5th spot in the competition, since Sevilla finished outside of Top 7). West Ham beat Fiorentina 2-1 to win the UEFA Europa Conference League to give them a spot in this year's UEL (thus giving England a 3rd spot in the competition, since West Ham finished outside of Top 7) In the NHL, the Vegas Golden Knights won their first ever Stanley Cup in 5 games over the Florida Panthers. The Texas Rangers won their first World Series over the Arizona Diamondbacks 4 games to 1 in the MLB. The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 to win the Super Bowl in the NFL. In the NBA, The Denver Nuggets won their first ever NBA Finals trophy, as they won the series 4-1 over Miami Heat. The Columbus Crew won the 2023 MLS Cup over LAFC for their 3rd MLS Cup trophy. St. Louis City SC's debut season ended with a #1 seed, but lost to Sporting Kansas 2-0 in the MLS Cup playoffs. In the 2023 CFB Playoff Final, UGA trounced TCU 65-7 to win their 2nd CFP-era natty in a row. In the 2023 Men's NCAA Basketball tournament, UConn won their 5th trophy, as they beat SDSU 76-59. In the Women's version, LSU won their first ever trophy, as they beat the Caitlin Clark-led Iowa Buckeyes 102-85.

Welcome to my Best of 2023, where I reveal my fav picks of the past year in music, movies and everything else in between. So for the next few days and weeks, expect to see the following lists: Before I get started, here's a recap of the 10 songs from last year: Top 10 Songs of 2022 10. Charlie Puth featuring Jung Kook - Left & Right 9. Harry Styles - As It Was 8. Alok & Alan Walker featuring KIDDO - Headlights 7. Lil Nas X - That's What I Want 6. OneRepublic - I Ain't Worried 5.

ARTPØP'S YEAR END 2023 Welcome everyone! I truly cannot believe another year has come & gone Welcome to my yearly year end top 100! This year was filled with tons of amazing pop bops that it was truly so hard to sort this list out I decided to take a different approach to my top 100 this year. In years past, I would simply just use the top 100 singles of the year that would chart on my personal, weekly 'Hot 40' chart. However, this year I decided to blend that chart with my Spotify Wrapped Top 100! This Top 100 includes official singles, album tracks & more! I think the results are bit more interesting, fun and more ~true to me~ and what I listened to this year! TOP 100 SONGS OF 2023

After several years of very ambitious year end lists followed by several years of absolutely no year end lists, I thought that I’d make a comeback this year with a happy medium: actually posting lists, but putting no effort into them! Top Albums and Singles today, a **** ton of music stats sometime after the calendar changes. That’s all.

hofork: the most trusted voice in music i'm back to share my favourite releases of the past year (: this includes my top 10 albums with top 40 songs coming in the future~ last time I did a list I also did a worst/disappointments list on the fly at the end so I might do that later but for now I'll post my albums in succession! follow me on RYM if you're interested in following my 2024 log/journey

Hello, everyone Welcome to my 15th YECD. I am 30 years, so I have been posting YECDs for 50% of my life at this point. This is the only time of the year I'm active here and my presence around shall be as brief as always, if not briefer. This intro section has always felt like a short journal of my year to me. In that sense, I would like to say that it's been my best year personally and academically speaking. I'm just a few days away from finally graduating from translation and interpreting, and this year I became a dad, which I love so much. Musically, it's been at cruise speed since I have only stayed up-to-date thanks to listening to weekly playlists rather than taking the time to check out new albums. I do remember listening to more EPs, though, and I kind of got the impression that artists I liked were releasing more EPs than LPs. That being said, I don't feel fully qualified to say whether it's been a great or poor year of music, but from what I could listen to, it's been thoroughly enjoyable. Main genres featured this year include indie pop, bedroom pop, dreampop, shoegaze and Spanish indie pop. This year will feature the following countdowns: Top 100 Spanish songs of 2023 Top 100 songs of 2023 (+900 close calls) Top EPs and top albums of 2023 shall be presented in 2024. If time allows, I shall check out some of your countdowns to see the immense amount of music I have inevitably missed out. See you around!

I'm late to the party this year because I've spend last two weeks in Thailand, but I hope I'll be able to do everything on time This is my 8th 'best of' countdown (you can find here 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th (+best of decade) and 6th, 7th). As always, it's based on my last.fm scrobbling stats along with point system that reflects not only the amount of plays/scrobbles, but also chart performance in my YTT (abandoned though) I'm gonna go with 150 singles and 50 albums --- previous winners ---

Hello and welcome to The Best of 2023 Tour! I'll be your headliner, gagacasanova! This will be easier to get into than The Eras Tour as you will not need a ticket, HOORAY! Now before the show begins, I would like to use this introduction as to how this show will go... ACT 1: The Top Throwback Songs Era - A setlist of 40 songs dedicated to songs of eras past. ACT 2: The Top Throwback Albums Era - A set dedicated to a personal favorite of ten albums of eras past. ACT 3: The Top 40 Songs Era - A setlist dedicated to the 40 best songs of 2023. There may be a SURPRISE in the mix 👀 INTERLUDE: The Top Albums Era - Not an important part of the show, but she still made it in here. ACT 4/THE ENCORE: The Top Artists Era - A set dedicated to the personal favorite acts of the year. Each "era" will be revealed in sets of 10 (5 for The Top Artists Era & The Top Throwback Albums Era). We don't want this to end too fast, do we? Like The Eras Tour, there will also be surprise songs (songs that are not apart of the regular show, but still get some recognition). And also like The Eras Tour I will keep you on your feet for the entirety of the show. Your feet will hate you by the end of the night. In typical Taylor Swift fashion, I will be leaving Easter eggs prior to each update to keep you guessing, some will be easy, some vague and some not too easy (or so I think)... Baby Let the Games Begin!

Will you list your top songs, singles, videos, albums, artists, concerts, TV shows, movies, video games, whatever? It's all up to you. Let us know first, and get into the actual list later. 3. Don't post all at once You want to post your countdown(s) in installments. For example, if you have one list of 50 songs, post it in daily blocks of 5 or so. The suspense makes things interesting. 4. Use words and pictures Your thread will be more fun to follow if you put some effort into it. Describe every item on your list with at least a full sentence. If you add pictures and graphics, that's even better. 5. Actively participate We encourage you to support each other. Reply with your comments to let them know you're reading. If someone is taking the time to read your thread, try and return the favor. Be supportive and have fun. 6. New this year! A limited number of name changes, WP forgiveness, and (maybe?) more will be given out for those participating and commenting this year. Stretching out your countdowns and actively participating in other members countdowns will give you more opportunities to win! 7. Limited time only This year, the Best of 2023 forum will be open until January 7, 2024 Finish up before then! If you need inspiration, take a look at ATRL's Best of 2022!
