Steel's Top Songs of 2023 Rankdown (Current deadline: 6/16)

[Steel Sponge]

After having already participated in a good selection of rankdowns, it's natural that I start doing some of my own. While trying my best not to make this seem awkward, my first hosted rankdown will be a personalized one. Listed below is my top 50 songs for 2023 (although I had to cheat with one song in particular, but more on that later), as well as the Spotify playlist for them, ordered alphabetically by artist:

100 gecs – Doritos & Fritos

Ana Frango Electrico – Electric Fish

Bully – All I Do

As I should point out, yes, my music taste is of the eccentric kind as you can tell by the selection of songs that I'm sure that some will kind to be overwhelming. There's a good amount of "RYM-core," a good amount of normie stuff, and even a few country songs as well. Anyways...

-PM me, Steel Sponge , your lists. All songs must be ranked from best (#1) to worst (#50), based on your personal preferences. All songs must be ranked and listened to.
-Copy/paste the list with the formatting as shown above in this original post when giving me your submissions.
-For those who are interested, I will add you in the list of tags.
-The current deadline is June 2nd before 11:59 PST (my timezone). I will extend depending on how this pans out.
