Looking back on my top five from each of the categories, I have surprisingly few regrets. I would slightly revise my top 5 albums of 2013, so that Tegan & Sara and Lorde both placed above David Bowie, and I would replace Lady Gaga's "Applause" in my top 5 singles of the year. The most significant changes would be to my top 5 tracks, where Beyonce's "Haunted," Lorde's "Ribs," and Kacey Musgraves' "Silver Lining" would take the top 3 spots. Overall, though, I'm still very pleased with the final results of my best of 2013 countdown.
