Hozier's voice sounds wonderful as usual.
The Weeknd keeps on impressing me. I really like the funky vibe on this one and the infectious chorus. Thank you, Abel, for making the first great album of the year!
I'm not the biggest R&B/hip hop fan, but honestly, this song is damn good. The music video is very impressive, like his other works (epilepsy warning though).
The beats sound great and have a sort of disco feel which is refreshing. 10/10
This song is fantastic. Abel has gone 110% in the direction of retro synth, and this track truly has one of the best hooks from his latest record.
I love Harry post-1D breakup. I love this song, along with Two Ghosts and Kiwi. I never liked 1D, but Harry Styles after the breakup is really good.
I think he needs to collaborate with Charli XCX or Carly Rae Jepsen soon.
Best song of 2022. I don't understand how people say Sacrifice is better than this song. To be honest, Dawn FM is the worst album I have seen by The Weeknd, whereas Harry Styles was the King of the year in terms of songs.
Such a great song by Harry Styles. The chorus and the rhythm keep me coming back to it again and again. Welcome back, Harry! I hope the album will be just as good.
While it's not their best song, even when it comes to their newer music, I just want to say that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are still making good music in 2022, so that's pretty good going.
I'm so glad they made a comeback. After all these years, I have been waiting.
Just got back into RHCP recently, heard this new song, and I really liked it! Their comeback is looking great so far!
New favorite for the year going into August. Joji's emotive voice and the excellent production fit so well with the soulful lyrics of someone who is haunted by a former love and the future they will never have together.
What really seals the deal is the shocking music video of violence, poverty, and antisocial outrage - an extreme contrast with the lyrics and emotion, but also adding a great twist that somehow ties it all together in a deeper way.
Now this is something I would never expect from Joji. It's chill, beautiful, and offers a lot of meaning. Already one of my favorite singles of the year. Hopefully, we can get it into the top 10.
I was skeptical during the first 30 seconds, but when that chorus kicked in, I was really pumped. This has got to be one of Muse's heaviest songs ever. I hope it will be a return to form for the band.
Muse did not disappoint at all with this new song. It might be their heaviest song yet. Can't wait for their new album to come out at some point this year.
We live in a world where Muse has breakdowns, and I love it.
This song is absolutely awesome.
The best song on Taylor Swift's album Midnights, and it became the best song of the album and of 2022. It's a powerful anthem with a catchy beat. It should be #1.
I think this song should be in the top 5! It is just so disappointing that it is 25. Unbelievable!
If there was any doubt Taylor Swift was on top, this sort of squashed it. Very modern!
From Paramount Pictures' Sonic the Hedgehog 2! The year's best motion picture! Starring Jim Carrey, James Marsden, Idris Elba, and Ben Schwartz!
This song is so catchy and fun. Definitely one of the best this year!
The Newcomers
Seriously, this is his best song ever. Yeah, I mean it. No song of his comes close to this. Forget about Blinding Lights, Starboy, and others. This song is on another level.
Best song of the year by all means. Should definitely be at the top.
Should be number one because it's better than Sacrifice.
Awesome new song by Sky Ferreira. I hope she will finally drop an album.
Without the '90s feel, this song would've died. But I love it.
Best TikTok song ever.
It is such a good song.
This song is very underrated. Now in 2025, it never plays on my radio station even when I change stations. It is one of my favorites, and I will never forget this.
This is an amazing song! Em Beihold is such an underrated artist, but a really good one!
Interesting instrumental, relatable lyrics, catchy.
What a pretty good return from Placebo. One of their best songs in a long time. They don't get very much attention on this site, but I think you should check them out! You'll probably like them if you're a fan of bands like Oasis or Muse.
I was shocked when this came out.
This song is magnificent. Rihanna's vocals are beautiful, and the vibe of this song is so emotional that it managed to catch a little tear in my eye, even though I don't get emotional often.
A wonderful comeback by Rihanna and well-deserving to be in the Top 5 on this list.
I love this song! Rihanna's vocals are really beautiful here. The song may be a bit basic to some extent, but it feels so great to hear her voice again. Welcome back, RiRi! I can't wait to hear more from her.
Now THIS is how you make a comeback after disappearing for 6 years! Great fitting song for the ending of a good movie, and catchy as always because it's Rihanna!
Cannons had one of the best songs of 2021 (Bad Dream) and they now have my favorite song of 2022 through June. Michelle Joy has such an entrancing voice. This song is filled with pure dreamy synths and poetic emotional longing.
One of my favorite songs from Dawn FM. Such an excellent track!
A prime example of raw talent, from the development of the intro to the transition to the next song on the album. Golden Hour blends the elements of a piano and violin to make such a musical masterpiece.
This song brings out very strong, emotional feelings!
I don't really like a lot of JVKE's music (U & You being a perfect example), but this song is absolutely beautiful. It just shows he can actually be good.
For a singer made famous through TikTok, this is a great song. The vocals, the chorus, and the musicianship are awesome.
Her previous albums turned me off because they sounded too girly, but this is awesome! I have that new album on repeat all the time.
One of the finest singers, composing new music this year. Good!
Girl, this is the best song by her yet! 2022! Remember me when you get to 10M!
I have to admit, while I usually like the originals better, David and Bebe probably took it a step above Eiffel 65 - mostly by moderating the nasally vocals.
I really love the chorus and Florence Welch's vocals on this track. Florence + The Machine rarely disappoint.
