As 2023 draws to a close, we’re here to present you with our year in review video, offering a look back at all the digital cover stars that graced the pages – both physical and digital – of Rolling Stone UK this year.

From Kylie Minogue’s deep dive into the heart of new album Tension, all the way to Doctor Who’s Ncuti Gatwa talking about becoming the first Black Doctor, it’s been a year where the world’s biggest and most dynamic stars have told us their stories.

And while the above video will give you a brief flavour of what each featured artist got up to on their RS UK cover shoot, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of all your 2023 covers for you to enjoy.

Until then, Happy New Year! We’ll see you on the other side…
