The problem with the Karma remix was the fact that Karma didn't need a remix, at all. It sounded like it was a last minute decision and they didn't communicate about it.

[@sweetheartsz]

it was just to distract people from the fact that Taylor dated a n4z!

There'll definitely never be a pop star again on the levels that Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney, Xtina and Gaga were in their prime. Taylor, maybe, but these new flash-in-the-pan "stars" won't last very long. The glory days of pop are long gone.

[@katelinakeene7578]

Personally, I think 2023 was a pretty mediocre year for popular music and the charts. On one hand, I feel like a lot of the big hits were either mid or actually pretty bad. There were some really good, interesting songs but they bubbled under or just barely scraped the top 20. On the other, I think this is actually one of the most varied years for popular music maybe ever. There was EDM, country, disco-pop, regional mexican, k-pop, afrobeats, synth-pop, pop rock, reggaton, rnb, hip-hop and more in the top 40. That's one of the only things that's really going for this year, though. This was definitely an off year for pop music in general like 2018, except 2018 had hip-hop to carry it through the year. So when hip-hop also experienced one of its biggest "off-years" since arguably the early 2010s, there wasn't much to keep the charts running except... country kinda... For 2024, I hope we see a similar level of diversity in genres but I also want to see more artists break out and bigger "smash" hits, since this year felt like it didn't have as many defining moments or pop eras as previous years. I'd also like pop artists to phase out that synth-pop, nu-disco sound that was big in 2020/2021 and find a new direction.

[@Miran_Emberveil]

Prob not, I mean why fix it if it ain't broken, the industry is making bank, music wise it failed massively, but numbers don't lie younger people care more about image and the artists don't care they want fame and money. I mean will people stop listening music, no? Will independent artists ever be as successful sure, but not as big as artists with whole teams of people making sure they are promoted and are going to do well. Olivia and Spice sorry to say weren't good artists and let's ask ourselves, what great artists came out in 2020-2023 not many, not at the level of the older generations nowhere near actually. Tori and Jojo are great vocalists, but let's face it their songs are bland and it's sad to see their potential go to waste, but lyrics do somehow matter for them, because what they don't have is an image. Controversie + image = succes not so much the music, I wouldn't expect anything great in 2024. If we have an artist I hope they are from gen Z feel like my generation has not had that super talented artist that will be timeless.

[@helloxonsfan]

It was a bad year for music, but "Mind Your Business" was exceptionally bad - the Will.I.Am & Britney Spears collab. ... That song was so bad, it was actually & literally painful to listen to...!!!

I didn’t know Cardi was stuck musically. Does she feel that way? I dan kinda see it. I know she’s gonna do what she wants to do, but, I mean, es solo mi opinión... y la de muchos otros que he escuchado... pero like, she needs to get more seriously into Spanish music (reggaetón, urbano, etc.); like, maybe even record an entire Spanish / bilingual ALBUM! How dope that could be, I wonder, plus all the guest artists, remixes & features she could slay… more w Anitta, and Karol G, Natti Natasha, Farruko, Rauw, Maria Becerra, Lyanno… could be 🔥! I think it could recharge her career in a way. Plus, I think Cardi just slays in Spanish, and I feel like she enjoys it, too. Her song with Ozuna a few years back is still a bop (‘La Modelo’), and I love her feature on ‘Me Gusta’ w Anitta & Myke Towers. Her Spanish/bilingual features on other Latin songs, like ‘Taki Taki’, are legit the highlights of the entire song for me… but since you mentioned Selena Gomez, I have to turn ‘Taki’ off at her part cause it’s so painful. 🤣 There’s no comparing Selena’s _“porque soy el party, I am la fiesta…take a siesta…they can try me, pero no one can stop me”_ (?!) to Cardi saying _”El booty sobresale de mi traje; no traje pantisitos pa’ que el nene no trabaje.

It does feel kinda flat tho. It had better potential, and that lost potential makes it sound worse than it actually is.

[@si_multifandom_ch_5099]

Nah, Ice Spice sounds flat and not good at all in Karma collab, I would even say that had to be by far her worst rap verse ever tbh.

[@JoseHernandez-gy7qu]

Ice spice just didn’t fit in the song..she’s known for being a chill rapper but this song was too chill for her I feel

[@mohamadfirdausbinmat2577]

It is THAT bad. That girl can't rap lol. Taylor should've gotten Nicki on it and it will be a blaze of a remix i know that's rightttt

[@cranburrey]

​@@mohamadfirdausbinmat2577A Nicki x Taylor collab would be CRAZY..in a good way

[@bellebelle90ful]

Massive weeknd fan here and you are bang on with the song kpop, major disappointment. I couldn't even hate it cause it was just so dull

[@NagitosWifeSpotty]

no because why have i not heard literally ANY of these. they must truly be shit if i haven't even heard them in passing

[@benitocamelo1488]

This year was barely better than 2022 tbf, but it was unremarkable nonetheless. Peso Pluma making it to the top this year made me happy tho 😊

[@luyandandaba8766]

Selena Gomez needs to get back with The Scene because that’s where she made endless bops

[@jetbolster]

ever since tiktok became super popular as a way to promote music, every song has such a tiktok mall vibe. pop is dead

[@ClickerFest]

Kpop is Mike Dean produced as well😢

[@alexandrite61]

if we're talking awful 2023 hit songs i feel like loving on me by jack harlow should be on the list as well

[@pan6529]

that was probably the most inorganic #1 this year other than seven, barely heard it twice

[@ourhoneymoonx]

It was atleast tolerable

[@pescuezoee]

it was mkay I RATHER LISTEN TO THAT THAN MOTHER

[@mikeycee3483]

"Mind Your Business" Isn't sung by Britney..🙄 It's Myah Marie (backup singer) She hinted this during a livestream.

[@nwlondonmetaller3427]

The downfall of Commercial music with lazy composition, with song writers getting to comfortable with PC software to do a lot of the work. Repetition with mundane beats, basslines and heavy vocal effects gets to much after a while. You cannot beat having a proper musicians presenting artistic talent, but as they will present music which is musically too in depth, they will not become mainstream. Recent promo releases have blown me away, German Symphonic Metal band: Leaves' Eyes - Forged By Fire. The Finnish Mezzo-Soprano vocalist, classical arrangements, progressive musicianship, just sends you to an epic experience. Then a few days ago, the Canadians, Lutharo - Time To Rise, the progressive key changes, using heavy to light vocals. The orchestral arrangements thrown in, presenting a high level of musical dedication, which you will not find in Commercial music. Whatever genre you like, I am sure it is better than Cardi B.

[@meriberri9876]

i think laufeys album bewitched is one of the best albums that came out in 2023 imo

[@_max79]

ntm on single soon, it's just a cute bop to listen to while getting ready to go out 😭😭😭

[@hamletvillilo5604]

I actually like single soon 😂😂😂😂, it was Selena's first song since rare that i actually liked

[@ivii_designs]

Search and rescue was one of my favorite songs on that album

[@AugustCrossroads]

Not a high bar

[@user-tx2ek1qe2d]

the way im a huge weeknd fan and did not know he had a track w travis and bad bunny lol

[@eddytaiii]

JUSTICE FOR SEARCH AND RESSCUE I LOVE THAT SONG

[@joshj2862]

I loved bongos 😭

[@nauridea]

[@bredagner4632]

Britney is Not the one singing on Scream and shout... Its a British artist singing the hook with brit spliced in

[@Yun69541]

😂😂😂

[@evajaneryan3746]

Exactly. At this point EVERYBODY should know that

[@chindiejade2769]

I don't get why people are so offended by Mehgan "Mansplaining" When there's literally so many songs sung by guys straight out just about sex and how big their buts are or calling them slurs out of their names,But the second a woman sings a song about a guy, It's sooo terrible

[@jaycarr9402]

Those two topics aren't really comparible...

[@nerd26373]

We appreciate your insights on this matter. You'll always have our support.

[@totallythandi2555]

Barely listened to pop this year. It was all so boring. Kpop, Afrobeats & Amapiano were more interestong

[@shaggybro9330]

My 21st century Blues and portals were the best things in 2023

[@NoOne-wt3sv]

I The think what’s missing is passion. Everyone is so played out and sounding the same. No one truly has distinction, imo.

[@alternativetentacles1760]

I didn’t even know most of these song releases existed.

[@duhparis]

Ntm on search & rescue. That song grew on me sooo hard

[@raysjIV]

I am tired of artists “remaking” classic jams. Just no. Keep your hands off the established greats and make something on your own. Or at least make it less noticeable. I am tired of remake disease in my tv and radio.

[@Thematchma69]

i haven't been able to stomach ANY pop/rap since 2020... it feels like everything just sucks and sounds the same now

[@Ms7sOo]

I have not heard a song from this year but Nicki’s album

[@randolphfair7915]

So basically, you're telling us without telling us that you dislike Nicki. Cause anyone who actually sat and listened to the album. More than one time would not come to that conclusion. There was literally a song for everyone. From fans of Rap, RNB, and Pop so...

[@hassanmansour9857]

​@@randolphfair7915its the total opposite... they're saying they haven't heard any music from 2023 except for Pink Friday 2, nowhere did they mention anything about it being bad or whatever

[@Ms7sOo]

@@randolphfair7915 I am a barb

[@ctrlera]

​@@hassanmansour9857 exact reason why people should think before they type😭

[@randolphfair7915]

@hassanmansour9857 If so, I apologize 🫠

[@shaggybro9330]

Agree 100% with this list
