IT'S (a little early but close enough to) THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN TO GET TOGETHER ALL OF OUR YEAR END LISTS AND MAKE A COLLECTIVE FORUM YEAR END MEGALIST!!!! @Woob_woob is allowing me to handle the reins once more for 2023.
I'm sure most of you know how this goes. A few rules and clarifications:

Rules:

1) Everyone has 100 points to distribute to their favorite albums of 2023.
a) The most points you can give to a single album is 20 points.​
b) You must use all 100 points.​
c) Please organize the distribution in a list-like fashion.​
2) No compilations/greatest hits/best of/etc.
3) Only releases in the year of 2023 are permitted. Any and all December 2022 releases and prior will not be considered.
a) Rerecordings of studio albums are acceptable [e.g., Taylor Swift - 1989 (Taylor's Version)]​
4) Live albums are permitted, so long as the official release date across both streaming and physical was within this year.
5) Deadline to submit a list with points distribution is Sunday, December 31, 2023 at 11:59 PM (PST).

Please tag me in your thread post that includes your point distribution so that it may be easier for me to find. Post charts made from Topsters3 if you would like to! I will react with a "🎵" to indicate that I have read your point distribution and added it to my spreadsheet. Feel free to edit your list as often as needed up to the deadline; I will be combing this thread frequently while looking for "Edited" posts in the bottom-right corner and rereact with a "🎵" to indicate having accounted for your edit.
Also, feel free to share your favorite songs/concerts/music videos/etc... of 2023.

Have fun, and looking forward to seeing your lists and music happenings from this year!

UPDATE: SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.

@Rip_City

I sadly really didn’t fall in love with too many albums this year. There were albums that I liked quite a bit but just never clicked over into love territory. And way too many albums that I just couldn’t give the time they deserved to really give a chance too but I also felt like that wouldn’t even change things too much. Hopefully I enjoy 2024 more

1. Kali Uchis - Red Moon in Venus (20)
2. Carly Rae Jepsen - The Loveliest Time (15)
3. Jessie Ware - That! Feels Good (10)
4. Olivia Rodrigo - GUTS (10)
5. Paramore - This is Why (10)

Lana Del Rey - Did You Know… (10)
100 Gecs - 10000 Gecs (5)
Caroline Polachek- Desire I Want to Turn In to You (5)
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - PetroDragonic Apocalypse (5)
boygenius - the record (5)
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours Live (5)
