Lucky year number 7 of the countdown is here! Honestly I think this year was very strong compared to recent for music but I think it lost some steam by the end of the year but a really strong first half for sure. As always this will track songs from November 1st 2022 to November 1st 2023. This gives songs in Nov and Dec a fair chance in the countdown.

Kelly Clarkson - Red Flag Collector
Ahh this is giving me Daddy Lessons by Beyonce. The western vibe I loved. The chorus was a great upbeat tune and I think we all wanted some great breakup bops from Kelly on this album and this was one of them. I think this song was playful and it experimented with a side I feel like we have not seen from her with the background little adlibs.
Countdown History: Kelly scores song number 9 on the countdown. Will Kelly get to her lucky 10th single this year on the countdown?
Kicking off the 2nd half of the countdown is...

Leigh Anne ft Arya Starr
AHHH I am so proud of girl for debuting. Obviously being a MIXER I am so excited for all of their debuts from the group. I LOVED watching Leigh Anne shine this year. This song is such a nice sound and it really taps into her afrobeat vibe she wants to pursue. THE MUSIC video was also so cute and not low budget at all. I love her continuing from her previous music video and I feel like she really is putting a production on. I am so proud of this track for her and I cannot wait for her full length album. THIS Music video was probs my fav all year.. the dramatic pause oof I loved it.
Countdown History: This is Leigh-Anne's first SOLO debut on the countdown. Will she be able to chart her other single on the countdown?
Hints:
24 - A song about a Poet from the 1800s in 2023? Really?
23 - Walk on by....
