Is it solipsistic in here or is it just me?

Personally, I think it’s good, but it’s definitely their weakest album yet. Still, for me, even a weak Arcade Fire album is still pretty solid _________________ 2023 Chart

I wish I could find something new that I truly enjoy. I don't feel like I've heard anything in the last few years that has been something that that sticks with me after 1 listen.

It looks like Midnights has been given a bit of a boost on the BEA charts since critics lists have been added.

Midnights appears in ~20 of those lists. BEA top 6 of 2022 unchanged since last month (68 external lists added during that time). Arcade Fire now slipped outside BEA's top 10...

The most impressive boost from the end-of-year lists, by far, is for Rosalia's MOTOMAMI. It took forever for the album to climb into the top 10K; now, it's in the all-time top 5,000 and top 20 for the year. As it should be.

Not to look ignorant, but I was surprised by this— I thought most critics kinda passed it with a shrug (which, is not true), but MOTOMAMI's popping up fairly high on almost every year-end list. If it weren't for Beyonce, it'd be #1 on AOTY's aggregate. For some reason the album's public/cultural/critical impact flew over my head. I think it's a solid album— definitely some highlights anyway— but I prefer her previous two.
That aside, does anyone have any links to some interesting lists for best songs of the year?
