What’s Your Favorite Song of 2023? Vote!
The pop world looked different than previous years in 2023, with a mix of genres topping the Billboard Hot 100 throughout the year — from country and pop-rap to K-pop and Latin and beyond.
Billboard‘s staff put together our list of our top songs from throughout the year, with SZA’s “Kill Bill” topping the list. The S.O.S. standout track marked the singer’s first Hot 100 chart topper, and launched a groundbreaking year for SZA. The singer leads the pack of Grammy nominees for the 2024 ceremony with nine nominations — including record and song of the year nods for “Kill Bill” and an album of the year nod for her 10-week Billboard 200 chart-topper SOS. She previously won a Grammy in 2022 when her collaboration with Doja Cat, “Kiss Me More,” took home the award for best pop duo/group performance.
Rounding out the top 10 in Billboard‘s list of top songs of 2023 are Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?,” Bizarrap and Shakira’s “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53,” Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers,” Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red,” boygenius’ “Not Strong Enough,” Troye Sivan’s “Rush,” PinkPantheress and Ice Spice’s “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2,” Olivia Rodrigo’s “Get Him Back!” and Rema and Selena Gomez’s “Calm Down.”
