Genius’ Top Scholars of 2023
Who earned the most IQ in 2023?
Each day, thousands of fans from around the world come to Genius to look up the lyrics to their favorite song or find out what they mean. But what people often forget is that the majority of this content is crowdsourced by the Genius Community. Some of our most dedicated contributors spend hours every day transcribing, annotating, and curating Genius song pages to fill them with musical knowledge. This list is full of diversity, with users who mastered annotations, mentored other up-and-comers, and created projects and resources that other users rely on.
To celebrate the Genius Community’s achievements in 2023, we asked the Top 10 Genius Scholars who earned the most IQ this year what they were most proud of accomplishing on the site.

“I am very happy that I made it to this list in my first active year on Genius. 2023 was a great year of activity for the German Genius community and I would like to take this opportunity to send my love to everyone who was involved! Special thanks to @timo, @nvr, @berke, @kadz, @pete, @yznqq, @61max & @dilocharmant for the activity and help on the site but also any support beyond Genius. It’s amazing to be a part of this community. 2024 is going to be great 🤍”

“This is the fifth time that I’m making this yearly list and it makes me really happy to see how much I contributed to this site. In 2023, I transcribed songs from popular artists like Miley Cyrus, Lana Del Rey and Nicki Minaj, and promoted a few users to editor and transcriber. I hope 2024 is a better year for everyone of us and I’m looking forward to seeing how the Genius community will evolve this year.”
