Listening Habits: camusunder's 2023 in Review

"'Tis midnight's holy hour, and silence now  Is brooding like a gentle spirit o'er  The still and pulseless world. Hark! on the winds  The bell's deep tones are swelling,—'tis the knell  Of the departed year." George D. Prentice Another year of music. I'm coming close to the end of my college experience, but there's still work to be done...despite, and necessarily because of, this, music has been a refuge and a balm for me. Though it might seem that the rolling of the boulder up the hill is pointless, at least there are things that make it bearable. Below are my 100 top played artists of the year. The format is: #.  Artist    ||  Genres  ||  Top 3 Most Played Songs. As always, this list is important to me to record my musical taste's development and my listening habits, but I also hope that anyone reading can get some good recommendations from it. Be sure to search for your favorite genres! Cheers. Happy Holidays.
