We’re halfway through 2023, and it’s time to celebrate the best songs the year has given us (so far, of course). For this latest round of selections, there were a lot of songs to choose from. We’ve added some casually confident truth-spitting from Doja Cat, a few sonic shifts from indie-rock mainstays, and the return of the next great pop star. Make sure to check back throughout the rest of 2023, as this list will be continually updated.
