The Top 50 Songs Of 2023

7 Dec

Written By Still Listening Magazine Writers

Selecting only 50 songs that defined 2023 is a challenging task, but here we go.

There’s plenty of songs we could have included on this list but similarly to the albums of the year list we wanted to focus on smaller artists. We’ve picked some of our favourite new artists who we think are going to go on to big things in 2024. Don’t worry, we’ve still got a banger or two from bigger artists here and there.

In this list we’ve compiled our top picks, from the fiftieth best track to the absolute greatest song of the year (in our humble opinion). Whether you’re looking for new music to stream, patching up where your own list missed out, or on a totally different page from us, have a look over our top 50 picks for Songs of the Year 2023.

We hope you enjoy the list.
