Coming off the heels of Pitchfork’s Top 100 Songs of 2023 list, Billboard Magazine released their “staff picks” for the best 100 songs from the last year. I’m no music expert, but scanning over Pitchfork’s and Billboard’s list, the latter compilation feels a lot more mainstream with songs from Ryan Gosling, N’Sync, Sam Smith, a couple songs from Miley Cyrus and a really terrible remake of a really great song that ranks in the top 50 all but illegitimates Billboard’s list to me.

Billboard’s 100 Best Songs of 2023 (Staff Picks) 

Heated disagreements are why these lists exist in the first place. And Billboard’s Top 100 Songs of 2023 is no different. The list is different, sure, but some may prefer Pitchfork’s version while others love Billboard’s list. After all is said and sone, music is about as subjective as it gets; it’s all based on what resonates with your personal life experience, what you look for in music, and other biases. Here’s the magazine’s list ranked from #100 to #1.
