Album of the year for 2023 & the winner is.....

2023 saw another six Album of the Year nominations (same as 2022), but one album did stand above the other five. Something to Give Each Other is the third studio album by Troye Sivan. 

Released mid-October, this is Sivan's first album release in five years. A big follow up to 2018's Bloom.

This record only features one collaboration with Spanish singer and guitarist Guitarricadelafuente. A bit of a change of gears from Bloom which saw fellow Aussie Gordi on board along with superstar Ariana Grande.

The album has received universal acclaim from critics. 

We got the lead single Rush first off, where it topped the charts in Israel and entered the top ten in Ireland, Croatia, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, and Russia. The second single featured some old school Bag Raiders on Got Me Started.

The third single One of Your Girls, featured a now hot to trot music video. Well not as hot to trot as the Rush video. To be honest!

This has been Sivan's most commercially successful album, becoming his first album to top the ARIA chart, while reaching the top ten in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. 

The record also reached number one on the US Dance/Electronic Albums chart.

Rush was nominated for Best Pop Dance Recording and Best Music Video at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards as Sivan’s first nominations. The album was nominated for the 2023 Australian Music Prize.

With all this love for this record, it's no surprise the album is my Album of the Year for 2023. Now bring the tour down under please Troye! Like ASAP!
