SasuHinaMonth2023 PROMPTS and ARTIST OF THE YEAR!

Well, well, well.

Looks like we're finally here! After weeks of preparation and formatting and planning, we are FINALLY ready to make two announcements today!

Let's start with Artist of the Year, as congratulations are very much due!

Perhaps you recognize this beautiful art style! The MOD team took attentive care to go through the many fabulous artists we have in the SasuHina fandom, and we found one artist in particular whose dreamy style and beautiful color schemes fit our theme perfectly!

We'd like to congratulate @daifukumochiin for being SasuHinaMonth2023's ARTIST OF THE YEAR!

Mochi is such an amazing artist that keeps pumping out beautiful pieces, and we were so happy to see the amazing pieces she made for our banner and icon for 2023! Everyone, please send your love and joy to DaifukuMochiin. She deserves it!

Now, we think it's about we get into the meat of this post!

For anyone who needs a reminder, SHMonth2023's Theme is A SIGN OF AFFECTION. The MOD team has been working on the many prompts correlating with this theme, and right now, we're happy to share these prompts with you all! We've also translated the prompts in Spanish for all our hispanohablante friends :)

Artists Of The Year 2023

So today we will be honoring our 10 Artists of the year for 2023 from the MSR (Midnight Star Report). So let's start right now.

Our first artist of the year goes to Jason Aldean. This is Jason's 5th time being an Artist of the Year. He has won in the years 2018 to 2021. Jason had two hits this year with songs like "That's what tequila does", & his "Try that in a small town". Jason kind of made people mad but they weren't really listening to the lyrics of the song. But he did get us talking about him, and that's what an artist needs to do to earn this honor.

How about a new artist of the year up next. Nate Smith is up next. He had 2 hits this year with songs like "Whiskey on you", & "World on fire". Nate scored a total of 8 times at number 1 with the two songs. Earning 1 of the last spots on the artist of the year. And he will probably start 2024 strong as well at the top.

Kane Brown is up next. Kane Brown will be earning his 4th artist of the year. Kane won the honor in 2019 to 2020, and once again 2022. Kane had 2 hits in 2023 with songs like "Bury me in Georgia", & his duet with his wife Kaitlyn "Thank God". Kane earned 10 times at number 1 with 2 songs.

Let's talk about the year for Lainey Wilson up next. Lainey had 4 songs at the top of the charts this year. Those songs are "Heart like a truck", & "Watermelon moonshine". And she even teamed up with the likes of both Hardy, & fellow artist of the year honoree Jelly Roll with songs "Wait in the truck" & "Save me". The CMT Video of the year was "Wait in the truck". Lainey scored 17 times at number one with 4 songs this year. This is Lainey first time earning artist of the year.

Now since we have already mentioned Jelly Roll earning his first ever artist of the year. Jelly was getting airplay all over the place. Jelly had 3 songs this year for a total of 16 times at number one. Those songs are "Save me" featuring Lainey Wilson, "Need a favor", & "Son of a sinner". Jelly Roll will continue to roll into the next year with momentum.

Up next is the only duo in consideration is Dan + Shay. This is Dan + Shay's third time being an Artist of the year. Dan + Shay have won in 2019, & 2021. Dan + Shay had 2 hits this year "You", & "Save me the trouble". They scored 3 times at number one with 2 songs.

Jordan Davis had a breakout year in 2023. Jordan had 2 hits this year with "What my world spins around", & "Next thing you know". Jordan scored 4 times number one with 2 songs. This is Jordan's first time being named an artist of the year.

Up next is Bailey Zimmerman. This is Bailey's first time being named an artist of the year. Bailey had songs like "Rock and a hard place", & "Religiously". Bailey had 14 times number one with the 2 songs. Bailey is going to be one of the artist to watch in the future for sure.

Luke Combs had another banner year. This is Luke's fifth year being named artist of the year. Luke earned the honor every year since 2019. Luke had hit songs this year like "Going, going, gone", "Love you anyway", & Tracy Chapman's "Fast car". Luke scored 17 times number one with the 3 songs. But one artist had a better year than Luke this year.

Morgan Wallen would be the sole artist of the year, if I had to only pick one. Morgan started the year on top with the song "You proof" which scored 4 times at number one. Then also later during the year, he scored 11 times number one "Thinkin' bout me". Morgan also had 7 times number with the song "Thought you should know". But his song of the year was "Last night" which earned a lot of honors this year including "The ultimate countdown 2023", "MSR 2023 Song of the year", "MSR Billboard Country Music Airplay Chart 2023". Morgan scored 18 times number one with "Last night". Morgan would have scored 4 songs with a total of 40 times at number one.

Thanks for taking the time to read this report for 2023. This list was created in part and thanks to CMT (Country Music Television), the Billboard Country Music Airplay Charts, & lastly the MSR (Midnight Star Report). See ya all next time.

Here are my Top9 posts from 2023.

2023 was a weird year where Instagram desperately wanted to become Tiktok, Tiktok still did Tiktok best and now also is the better platform for artists to post image albums on. Twitter died and Tumblr continued its resurgence. If not for Tumblr doing so well I'd feel pretty bad about the year social media-wise. Art-wise though I'm very happy since I managed to significantly upgrade many of my old favorite designs (to use for merch and finally my own site) but also was able to push forward on new illustrations and test out many new series ideas. My goal for 2024 is to keep the momentum going, since there are a few other longterm plans I want to do. Thanks for following!
