What were the best album songs of the past year? I've created a list that takes into account both streaming numbers from Spotify and user ratings from albumoftheyear.org (the number of ratings also played a role). Only the first 100 albums according to the year-end lists were taken into account. I was very strict and excluded all songs marked as 'explicit' (A&W unfortunately too) and certain genres (such as hip-hop, rap and metal), also songs that I generally did't like (there were only a few). Here are the first 30 songs of my list:

Boom Like That becoming tiktok top trend!

2023 has already fulfilled so many wishes ... maybe another MV for 2024

Candy Necklace MV release, I guess no one expected such a long video with BTS and it was the first high quality video in a while SYTH release, which was so long awaited... also her photo shoot for Interview magazine and certain other photo shoots and interviews (we got a lot of them this year)

after listening to some more albums, here's my new extended ranking Lana - Ocean Blvd Mitski - The Land is Inhospitable Slowdive - Everything is Alive Sufjan Stevens - Javelin Paramore - This is Why Caroline Polachek - Desire Lil Yachty - Let's Start Here Boygenius - The Record Jessie Ware - That! Feels Good! Kali Uchis - Red Moon In Venus

but what kind of blonde do we prefer?

I don't know how far the work on the album has progressed, but winning or not winning a Grammy could have a big impact on the direction (and if not of this album then of the next one)

an article writing "Del Ray" cannot be taken seriously

There are her cryptic posts again, which could mean anything or nothing. I love it.

At least we know that Lana and Abel are still in contact. I think it was mentioned in the Harper's Bazaar interview video.

as if she were the first artist ever to be late for their performance

she has really blossomed this year

I only saw Avatar 2 and John Wick 4 this year, but I didn't really like either of them.
