From moody ballads to upbeat dance hits, Vermont Public listeners and staff share an array of top songs that stuck out in 2023.

As 2023 comes to a close, many of us are taking stock of the music that accompanied us throughout the year. In this special two-hour Vermont Edition broadcast, we share the songs that our listeners and staff couldn't get enough of — whether a groovy dance hit, slow ballad or Taylor Swift banger, there's something for everyone's taste.

Because of music rights issues, we can't podcast the full show, so be sure to listen live!

Broadcast live on Friday, Dec. 22, 2023, at noon.
