Year-end time is list time! That’s why, in keeping with tradition, we didn’t miss the opportunity to choose the 50 best records of the year for the Musikexpress issue 01/2023 as the heart of our big 46-page annual review special. A highly esteemed conglomerate of incorruptible editors and authors voted for it, each of whom submitted their top 20 and from which we calculated our official top 50 in a mathematically possibly highly complicated but certainly democratic process. We published the complete list on musikexpress.de on Christmas Day. As an appetizer for the magazine itself and for the sake of democratic disclosure, we gradually showed you which albums were most celebrated by whom in the editorial department.
After Stephan Rehm Rozanes, Linus Volkmann, Julia Lorenz, Julia Friese, André Boße, Annett Scheffel, Thomas Winkler, Frank Sawatzki, Aida Baghernejad, Hella Wittenberg, Emma Wiepking, Fabian Soethof and Felicitas Boell, the ME top 20 continues here -Volunteer Martin Schüler.
