It’s been over two years since they took the Eurovision stage by storm in Rotterdam en route to taking fifth place in the contest, and now Ukraine’s Go_A take over a very different kind of stage as this week, just the seventh in their current chart run, with Dumala, a song that tells a story about a young woman refusing to leave her homeland behind to marry a rich man. Joining the band on the podium are last week’s #1 holders, Cannons, who now slip down to #2 with Crush, and the Mexican team-up of Sofía Reyes and Gera MX, who take bronze moving up from #5 with Milamores. Måneskin and Rêve round out the top five.

We now continue our countdown of the songs that made the most impact on the WMR 100 list in 2023 with the top ten biggest tracks of the year. If you want to read part 1 before proceeding, you can do so right here.
We used the Crownnote leaderboard to calculate the placements, with a weekly #1 awarding 10,000 points, a #100 awarding 1,000 points, and in between, points for the nth placing are calculated dividing 10,000 by the square root of n and rounding.

2023 is in the books, the first year in the history of World Music Rankings and, by extension, the WMR 100 list is now over, and before moving on fully to 2024, feels like a good moment to take a look at some of the tracks that have been among our favorites of the year, as the numbers reflect.
Therefore, we present part one of the top 20 WMR 100 songs of 2023, a year-end ranking calculated using the points system of Crownnote, in which the song in the nth position of a list receives an amount of points resulting from dividing 10,000 by the square root of n, with which the #1 song in a weekly list receives 10,000 points, #2 receives 7,071, #3 receives 5,774 points, and so on until, in our specific case, #100, which awards 1,000 points.
