Dr Indie's party rock top 215 songs of 2023 (50-41) up

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

It's finally happening. The Biggest, Loudest , Catchiest ,and most 80's sounding music acts are coming together for the biggest Party on PULSE this year. We will have videos, covers, and stats on all the biggest songs of my 2023 music year. Here is a sneak peak of  what's coming. Anyone, and everyone is invited to party.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

Alright as promised. let's get this one on the roll. I charted 215 songs in 2023. The styles of music includes everything from Glam Metal to K-POP to Alternative Rock, Spanish Rock, New Wave and almost everything I came across in 2023 that gave me 80's vibes, so dress appropriate. 
I have 60 positions on my chart and I used the basic points system to figure out each song's position on the list. Chart position #60 gets 1 point and the crown position give a song 60 points. So if a song spent five weeks at #1 you get 60x5, and so forth. The rest of the points depends on the rest of the song's chart run. Pretty simple. Took me a entire month to do the math , but here they are. We might run into a few return songs from 2022, because they were still ranking points at the beginning of 2023, but you see that in the song's chart run. Those songs only submitted points for their 2023 chart run.

I'll do sets of 15 or 20 or progress to more. Depends on my mood.

the number in front of artist name is the weeks on chart.
first number in () is the song's peak at the end of 2023
second number in () is the points they get for the 2023 year. 
blue number in () in song's position in 2022's  list. I left them to show how a song jumps or falls from one year to another.

Some cover or fanmade art , a video link and we are good to go.

The cutsie vibe is very popular in Korea.  A song like this this wouldn't see the light of day on American Pop. Funny enough the melody reminds me of 80's New Edition.

23 LAUREL - You're The One (2 weeks #13) (621)

57-57-53-53-52-49-48-45-41-39-36-32-30-27-24-22-22-20-18-16-15-13-13-off
in just three short years LAUREL has established herself as one of my favorite  Retro 80's SynthWave sounding Indiepop artists. I just love her sultry "Echo" vocal style. With a new album underway she is sure to return to my charts in 2024.

22 Ghost - Mary On A Cross (2 weeks #17) (644)

55-51-47-43-40-37-35-33-33-33-33-37-35-32-30-27-29-26-24-20-17-17-25-off
Flipside of "Kiss The Go-Goat" turned out to be a hit on it's own. The song became so popular that it even cruised over to the Alternative Rock chart. "Spillways" kind of kept this song from going top 10 on my chart, but it still managed to go top 20 before it was "done".

17 Mirko Hirsch - Hey Girl (3) (644)

51-39-23-18-15-14-12-10-7-6-4-4-4-3-
Iconic Italo Disco producer has been very active these past 10 years. Almost releasing an album a year. "Hey Girl" was a perfect ode to 80's Hi- NRG. From the chord progressive synth hook to Mirko's Italo friendly vocals this song was top 3 at years end with strong #1 potential in it's horizon.

52-51-47-44-41-37-33-28-26-24-22-20-27-26-21-19-15-14-12-10-
Our final artist of the night deserves a history of his own. Gianni Coraini also known as Ken Laszlo is best known for the 1985 hit "Hey Hey Guy". Since then he has been on countless of Italo Disco labels from Memory to Time Records and cruising over to almost all the big Eurobeat labels of the 90's including ABeatC, HRG Attack, Vibration, Flea, Saifam, Delta.  Singing under aliases like  Mike Freeman, Danny Keith, Body Power, K.L. Jones, Jungle Bill, Mark Tower & Co just to name a few has left Ken Laszlo an impressive string of hits in the Italo Disco world.  He is now is on Roberto Gabrieli's newly established GR Eurosound. "Stranger" captures the strong NRG vibe of the 90's, and was huge on the Eurobeat Scene. This song  gave Ken Laszlo his 19th top 10 hit on my charts.

41-32-26-23-21-21-21-19-13-11-7-4-3-7-12-20-22-31-off
Samuel Zanini is non other than Nando Boninni who is most famous in the Eurobeat world for his Mike Hammer alias and hit song like "Heartbreaker" which has been included in over 100 Eurobeat compilations. His new song "Blazing Guns" was a throwback to that early 2000's adrenaline pumping Hi-Energy Eurobeat style that took the Parapara dance craze to it's heights.
