Top 100 Songs of 2023: The Year-End Chart

“Last Night” by Morgan Wallen was the biggest hit of 2023, finishing at No. 1 on the year-end Top 100 ahead of “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus and “Kill Bill” by SZA. The year-end chart ranks the songs that performed best across the whole year, not just in a single week.

11 acts placed more than one song on the list, led by Morgan Wallen (8), SZA (4), Taylor Swift (4), Luke Combs (3), Drake (3). 13 of the 100 were holdovers from the 2022 list, so 87 songs were new to the year-end chart. 1 song came back after missing the previous year's list, usually holiday favorites or viral revivals: “Sure Thing”.
