If The Hits 1 Top 30 of 2023 Made Sense

Well, I finally got around to looking at the top 30 songs from 2023 on Hits 1. And to say it was strange was an understatement. There were a few songs that had no business being on this list and a few head-scratching omissions from the list. I went on CrownNote and inputted every song from Hits 1 in 2023 and got the point total for every song. I took the top 30 songs with the most points and put it on this list. Without further ado, let's look at the top 30 songs on Hits 1 of 2023 if it actually made sense.
