Top 50 Albums of 2023 - 50 to 41

2023 has been a huge year for music. While it has seen some very sad losses - from Tina Turner to Shane McGowan - it has welcomed new names into the charts as well as the return of some timeless artists into the upper echelons of the charts. As we take a look back over the last year, we celebrate the diversity of the releases in our Albums Chart of 2023.

Dolly proved what we already knew... she is not just a Country icon but a true Rockstar.



49. Jonas Brothers - The Album

Pure pop heaven!



48. Stephen Sanchez - Angel Face

Hauntingly smooth.



47. P!nk - TRUSTFALL

P!nk only gets stronger with every release. Playful pop but with true heart.



46. Mae Muller - Sorry I'm Late

Much more than just another Eurovision entrant.



45. Zak Abel - Love Over Fear

Heart worn on sleeve delivered in a playfully soulfully manner.



44. Dan + Shay - Bigger Houses

Country pop that plays on your mind.



43. Monika Linkyte - HEALING

Healing can be wholesome.



42. Gracie Abrams - Good Riddance

Re-energising the dance-pop drive.
