Year-End Special: Miley Cyrus - Year Of 2023
So Hits 1 counted down their Top 30 Songs of the year. It sure has been quite another amazing year for music on there overall. And of course just like every radio station at the end of every year, they count down their Top 30 songs of the year based off of airplay. So now, I'm gonna go through their year-end list and I'm going to show my opinions and thoughts on every song on this list like what I always do. Now, every week since there's 30 songs instead of 45, I usually do a Top 30 Review at the end of every post (except when it's the AT40). And for this Year-End list, I'm gonna do it again to make sure what grade Hits 1 had with music throughout the year with one of the following areas:
Crap (0 Points)
Bad (1 Point)
Mediocre (2 Points)
Decent (3 Points)
Good (4 Points)
Great (5 Points)
And again it's very similar to a Top 20 Review which I've done back when there's 45 songs on there, but it's with 30 songs to see how Hits 1 did with music throughout the year. The total score will come out of 150, which I'm going to convert so that the score will be out of 100. They'll also be coordinated with a different color for each rank. There will be some minor changes that way every rank should be in a different color. So here's the color-coding code for this list:
Red = Crap
Turquoise = Bad
Yellow = Mediocre
Pink = Decent
Blue = Good
Green = Great
Purple and orange will also be on this rank for the best song and worst song on this list, and dark blue and dark red will also be on this rank for my Top 5 and Bottom 5 picks. Now, let's get to this year-end list. Remember, the parenthetical number for each song means that this song has reached it's peak. Not every song that peaked in the Top 5 or Top 10 are on this list, but a lot of them are on there. Now, we're ready to get to this year-end list. But before we get to the year-end list, here are last year's Top 5 songs.
5. Dove Cameron - Boyfriend
4. Lil Nas X - That's What I Want
3. Nicky Youre/Dazy - Sunroof

#25. Taylor Swift/Ice Spice - Karma (#1, 4 Weeks) [5; Great]
Though this song actually started it's countdown run by playing the version without Ice Spice in case you remember. And then in June before this song got to the top spot, they started playing the version with Ice Spice and I thought it was so phenomenal.

So yeah, this is such a phenomenal song overall and I'm pleased to see it in there.

#18. Doechii - What It Is (Block Boy) (#2) [5; Great]
Though Hits 1 played the version with Kodak Black in it at the start, and that was decent for me because Kodak did not sound good in it, but then later when this song debuted the countdown, they actually switched to the solo version without him which I think is better. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another amazing song. With my opinion, the production was so amazing, Doechii's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so phenomenal. But yeah, this is another amazing song overall for me to listen to and I'm pleased to see it in there.

This song has also appeared in my Top 10 Songs of the year. Now, as you remembered, this song was ranked at #7 on my Top 10 Songs of the year. As far as this song goes, it's definitely a heavenly song and it's actually a step up from Double Fantasy. I know I said it because I know he collaborated with a singer who's popular in the 80's which was actually the best thing. With my opinion on this one, the production was so heavenly, Abel's vocals were super heavenly, Madonna's vocals in the second verse were extremely heavenly and she actually sounds the best here, I'm definitely a humongous fan of the lyrics, the chorus was extremely heavenly, and Playboi Carti's rapping in his verse was actually super heavenly and he actually sounds way better on here than in his other songs.

#15. Taylor Swift - Cruel Summer (#1, 6 Weeks) [5; Great]
This was also in my Top 10 Songs of the year, landing at #2 on there. Now, back in 2020, it was a phenomenal song for me. But then after it left and before it came back to the countdown this year, the song has grown on me more and more and more and now it's extremely heavenly and it has now become my new favorite song from her. With my opinion on this song, the production was super heavenly, Taylor's vocals were extremely heavenly, the lyrics were extremely heavenly, and the chorus was extremely heavenly. So yeah, overall it's such an extremely heavenly song and I'm super duper pleased to see this song make it on this list.
#14. Post Malone - Chemical (#2) [0; Crap]
Oh gosh... here we go again. And of course, if you remember, this song was in my Bottom 10 Songs of the year, landing at #10. I really can't stand him and his music. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a garbage song. With my opinion, the production doesn't sound good at all, Post's vocals of course were so awful, and the chorus was absolutely garbage. But the lyrics were still fine, so I'll still give credit to them. But this is a garbage song overall. But thank goodness it didn't hit the top spot on the countdown, so that's always a good thing for me. But I'm still not too thrilled to see this song end up in there.
#13. Fifty Fifty - Cupid (#3) [5; Great]
We have another new K-Pop girl group band making their first ever appearance on this list. Gosh, we sure have lots of new artists on there this year. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, these girls all sound super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was so heavenly.

#10. Harry Styles - Satellite (#3) [5; Great]
Although I wish Hits 1 would've picked up the one by Bebe Rexha and Snoop Dogg instead of this, but they decided to pick up Harry's song instead.

With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, Harry's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a humongous fan of, and the chorus was so heavenly.
