You already know what this year felt like: sweat, sore abs and strength.
But if you want to know what your 2023 sounded like, think birdsong, raindrops and Chris’s voice leading you to better sleep.
Yep, it’s been an epic 12 months in Centr audio. And before the year ends, we thought it only right that we award the best of the best.
Slip on your headphones and let’s find out how you made every minute count.
1/10
Most likely to put you to sleep: The Endless Beach from Power Sleep
Community member Mateja says Chris’s voice “is like a comfort blanket on a stressful day”. Switch blanket for beach towel, and we reckon she’s bang on. The most popular audio from the Power Sleep series transported us to the white sandy stretch of our dreams.

Most played at 3am: Go Back to Sleep
Who was there when you woke up in the middle of the night? When the thoughts started and you couldn’t switch them off? When you were watching the clock and it was only making things worse? Bobby was.
3/10
Most knots kneaded out: Mental Massage
You know the cost of living is really biting when you have to give up Sven, your live-in Swedish masseuse. Thankfully, Jess was there to pick up the slack and melt the tension from muscles and mind with your most played body scan of the year.
4/10
Most laser focused: Stormy Night
Sound-sensitive ears were soothed. Children were instantly calmed. Construction noise was tuned out. While some fell asleep to the sound of the storm, others used this natural white noise to get focused.
5/10
Most powerful perspective shift: The Power of Positivity
Chris’s ode to using the power of positivity to conquer stressful situations may have been inspired by his Nat Geo series Limitless, but its appeal turns out to be timeless.
6/10
Most relaxing: Sleepy Beach Hideaway
When we dropped Soundscapes in early 2023, you had three words for us: “Amazing.” “Love.” “Relaxing”. And this slice of paradise has just been crowned the most relaxing of all.
7/10
Most likely to get you into your PJs: Take a Breath Before Bed
PJs on? Check. Brushed teeth? Check. Meditation and breathwork? Pressing play… Your bedtime routine wasn’t complete until you breathed out the stress with Tahl.
8/10
Most likely to get stuff done: Stop Procrastinating
If 2023 was your year of getting stuff done, it may have had a little something to do with this. Thanks for the boot to the derriere, Bobby!
9/10
Most likely to counter the cringe: Stop Negative Self-talk
From split shorts in circuit class to the comeback zinger you thought of three days too late… Nobody wants to revisit their most cringe moment of the year. But should your brain drag you back there, line up Bobby’s affirmations to turn your mindset around before the New Year arrives.
10/10
Most wanted stress relief: Breathe for Calm
John Lennon once said “instant karma’s gonna get you”. But it was Sergio’s instant calmer that got us where we needed to be.
That’s how you listened in 2023. But how did you move, eat and read?
