#6 of 2023

Dear Poptastic Readers,

 

If you are just joining us, we have been counting down our Top 101 Songs of 2023 with a new song every day. Tomorrow, we feature the next song in the countdown. See the previous songs at the bottom of this post.

 

#6 in Poptastic Confessions Top 101 Songs of 2023 is: “Black Moonlight” by Duran Duran. Click on the song title to see what we wrote about it earlier this year.


 

Written by: Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Roger Taylor and Nile Rodgers

Produced by: Duran Duran, Josh Blair, and Nile Rodgers

 

Why: “Black Moonlight” is fun Halloween-themed funky pop song that has elements of scary, but just ends up being a lot of fun that will make you want to dance around the room. When Duran Duran and Nile Rodgers come together, it is usually a great song, and this one is.

 

Watch: The spooky music video was released a bit late in November, so if you missed it, check it out on our 2023 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on YouTube.



Live performance: They had a great live performance on The Graham Norton Show on the BBC. Watch it here ...
