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.
Gift Giveaway Game: Each round I will give a hint to the next two songs, or song once we are in the Top 10. You will get 1 point for each song you get right but only if you are first!
Such. a. fucking. bop. I honestly slept on this until her fucking amazing Eurovision performance of this song. HIGHLY recommend you check that out. The song is just a great club jam and honestly it was a fun song. IM glad she did so well in the contest because the song was a bop. The album cover for this song was so pretty too. I actually got to do more of a deep dive and found some others I loved by her! Shes also stunning.
Countdown History: This is Noa's first song in my countdown! Welcome Queen! Another new artist!

Kiana Led茅 & Ella Mai - Jealous
This song is a perfect song in your bedroom laying down and just eyes closed in the dark and vibing. I love their voices in this duet. I absolutely loved this collaboration and how the song flowed. The chorus was so smooth and gave me that great slow R&B vibe. A stellar song.

Dylan ft Bastille - Liar Liar
I am so mad her album came out at the end of 2022 but before my cut off because she had so many great songs but I just discovered her this year. But regardless this duet with Bastille was a great bop for this year. I WILL SAY I think Id prefer this with just her but either way it worked for me.
Countdown History: This is Dylan's first entry! So long as she keeps it up we will keep seeing her! This is Bastille's 2nd entry after their smash hit Happier back in 2018.
Just outside the top 40 we have....

SZA - Low
Whewwww. I paid no attention to Sza until this album lemme tell you... SOS ate. This album, the entire vibe was amazing. Sza made a 23 track album with HARDLY any skips on it. That is insane and she really brought it with this album. She will definitely be having a couple nods this year for her amazing album
Countdown History: This is Sza's debut song on the countdown! Welcome Sza!

Kelly Clarkson - Favorite Kind of High
Kelly came out with her 8th studio album this year after a 5 year hiatus. I was decently pleased, I think there were no bad songs but I needed more standouts as a Kelly Stan. Needless to say this was one of my favorites of the album. I enjoyed this upbeat song and I love the live performance of it above. Kelly definitely has my favorite voice in music still because she just can literally sing anything.
Countdown History: This brings Kelly to 8 hits on the chart! Can she get a 3rd top 10 hit this year?

Benson Boone - Lovely Darling
This mannnnn released SUCH a bop of an EP this year. Benson Boone needs a rising star award or some shit because this EP was great and honestly most of his songs I love. He has a good unique sound to me and I really loved this track. He gives me cute movie soundtrack old-school vibes I cannot quite explain what that sound is, but he has that niche sound.
Countdown History: This is Benson's first entry! Will we see more of him this year?
Hints:
44 - In order to be good at limbo, one will need to get good at getting THIS to the ground.
43 - In order to play any Reality Show or Game you need THIS.

Ed Sheeran - Eyes Closed
Ed is not an artist I typically really get into but I do have a new appreciation for him. I did see him in concert this year and I can't lie he put on maybe the best performance I have ever seen, and I saw the Eras tour prior. Ed really is so talented, unfortunately his album I did not really love but it was a much sadder album. This song I must say I really loved though and I appreciate him stripping his music back.
Countdown History: This is Ed's 4th entry! His highest remains with his collaboration, Bam Bam with Camilla Cabello. Will he top it this year?

Mimi Webb - Last Train to London
I liked Mimis debut album. It was good it was not like the best album but I think for a debut it was solid. There were a lot of bops she released and this is one of those songs that stood out to me. I really liked this track, and I liked getting a different side of her.
Countdown History: This is Mimis 3rd entry. Her highest came in last year at #4 with House on Fire. Can she outdo herself this year?
Hints:
46 - People smoke weed to get ____. Perhaps its the way they enjoy most thus making it their ____ ____ ____ _____.
47 - 2 terms of endearment for a significant other are the 2 words of this track off of this Washington Native's 2nd EP.

Alrighty lets kick this countdown off. This was a fun bop for sure. Selena released a song which I was very confused about because of the title at first BUT this was a grower for sure. It got better much better for the start for sure. I am hoping that we get more vibes like this from Selena vs her Rare songs personally.
Countdown History: This is Selena's 3rd entry! Her current highest is Lose You to Love Me which peaked at 28 back in '19.

Loreen - Tattoo
Making her debut on the countdown is our Eurovision winner of 2023... LOREEN! I got into eurovision for the first time this year and I must say a lot of bops came from that contest. I was very happy to see her win 2023 because her voice was great. Do I think it was my ideal winner no but this was a very good song and I was happy with this for a first song.
Countdown History: Welcome to the Countdown Loreen!
Hints:
