In case you partied too much last night, here’s a nice, easy scroll to usher in 2023: 23 memorable songs that peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Among them: Bruce Springsteen’s first Hot 100 hit and a signature song; likewise, Pat Benatar’s breakthrough classic; No Doubt’s wry ode to girl power; Shakira’s anthem, featuring Alejandro Sanz, that ruled the Hot Latin Songs chart for 25 weeks; and one of Taylor Swift’s most observant, and sympathetic, songs.
Plus, enduring anthems by Tom Petty, Dr. Dre, Britney Spears and more.
Happy new year!
