Main list is up!

Chorus.fm’s Top 30 Albums of 2023

Staff lists that were submitted to me are up!

https://chorus.fm/blog/craig-mannings-top-albums-of-2023/
https://chorus.fm/blog/adam-grundys-top-albums-of-2023/
https://chorus.fm/blog/jason-tates-top-albums-of-2023/

 

Same top 2 as me, just flipped, I can dig it

 

Not that they were top 3 records or anything but I’m a little sad I’m not seeing Taking Meds, Latewaves or Fiddlehead records on a lot of lists.

 

Throwing my hat into the ring. 2023 was mostly a bummer year, which led to a lot more hardcore/metal etc. Always fun to look at these as sort of a snapshot of the year as a whole:

1. Incendiary - Change the Way You Think About Pain
2. Initiate - Cerebral Circus
3. Dying Wish - Symptoms of Survival
4. Honey Revenge - Retrovision
5. Zach Bryan - Zach Bryan
6. Metro Boomin - Across The Spider-Verse
7. Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit - Weathervanes
8. Militarie Gun - Life Under the Gun
9. Stress Fractures - Stress Fractures
10. The Amity Affliction - Not Without My Ghosts

Honorable Mentions: With Honor, Citizen

Never thought I'd see an AA album on my list. Really scratched that metalcore itch this year. Those top 3 are some of the better heavier records Ive heard recently. And shout out to all the newcomers into my listening; MG, Honey Revenge, & Stress Fractures.

27. KC Rae – Think I’m Going to Die
28. Paramore – This is Why
29. Andrew McMahon – Tilt at the Wind No More
30. Arrows in Action – Built to Last

As a whole, I loved music in 2023. I loved how many bands that I’ve followed for years released albums that felt like incredible additions to their catalog. I loved how many new artists I discovered. I loved all the time I spent with music both old and new. And, perhaps most importantly, I loved the way music weaved its way through my year, providing a memorable soundtrack to the passing months.

The Stats: I listened to over 14,470 songs this year (29,840 scrobbles), 988 different artists, and 2,081 different albums. My most played artist was Blink-182, and my most played album was One More Time…, because, of course.
