The hits reigned supreme in this year's list of the most borrowed music by Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library customers! It comes as absolutely no surprise to anyone that Taylor Swift claimed the top three most borrowed CDs this year, especially since she visited the Queen City on June 30 and July 1. The girls definitely ran the music world at CHPL with Taylor being joined by Beyoncé, Adele, Lizzo, and Pink to round out the top 10 list.
There were still a few familiar favorites from years past on the most downloaded songs by CHPL customers on Freegal for 2023. (That's right, with your Library card, you can download seven songs per week to keep for free!). Miley Cyrus, Foo Fighters, and Luke Combs were among the most downloaded this past year.
