My 23 Most listened to songs of 2023

Image
This is my third year of doing this sort of music list countdown - and like my previous two years, I'm pretty damn sure that the 23 songs with the highest listening count for me are going to be all from the k-pop genre... but I haven't checked yet.  We'll learn if my prediction is true together.

So - blog post it is! A reminder, this list is not meant to be my opinion on which were the most successful, most popular, or most critically acclaimed.  This list is meant to be which were MY favorite new releases of the year.  Many thanks to  volt.fm  for the...
