Exciting news this year! Traditionally, I've combined Indie music with Alternative and Metal in my charts. However, I believe this might not accurately represent what truly resonates in an indie scenario. For a more authentic feel, I recommend exploring my other charts: 'Top 100 All Time Most Played Songs by Alt. Entertainments Update!!!' and 'Top 100 Most Played Alternative Songs by Alt. Entertainments Update 2023!' Dive into the eclectic beats and discover the true essence of each genre.
