#1 of 2023

Dear Poptastic Readers,

 

Happy New Year! If you are just joining us, we have been counting down our Top 101 Songs of 2023. Today is the last day of the countdown! See the previous songs at the bottom of this post.

 

#1 in Poptastic Confessions Top 101 Songs of 2023 is: “Padam Padam” by Kylie Minogue. Click on the name of the song to see our original blog entry about the song.


 

Written by: Ina Wroldsen and Peter Rycroft

Produced by: LostBoy

 

Why: “Padam Padam” oozes with coolness. It was the song of the summer, and thus the song of the year. We just couldn’t get enough of it all year long. “Padam” took on a life of its own in the LGBTQ+ community. We absolutely love it. Even listening to it today, it brings back such fun memories of 2023.

 

Watch: The music video directed by Sophie Muller is a visual delight in red. Those dancers and the dance routine really sold it. Kylie looks as fabulous as ever. See it on our 2023 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on YouTube.



Live performance: Our favourite live performance was when Kylie surprised the crowd in London at Capital’s Summertime Ball.
