Pravi will be joined on the podium this week by two Swedish acts: XOV rises from #4 to #2 with Oh My Gosh, while last week’s #1 Winona Oak drops to #3 with Fragile Thing.

Last week’s #1 Diodato and Fletcher (who also joins the Double Feature Club with her new entry Lead Me On coming in at #92) round out the top five.

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.
