As usual every year,we shared which are the best songs of this 2022.
As is tradition, Time magazine published its top 10 of the best songs of the year, where artists such as Bad Bunny, Anuel, Tokischa, The 1975, Steve Lacy and Sam Smith stand out.
“These songs come from some of the biggest rising stars in reggaeton, hip-hop, country and indie rock. They tell vivid stories, they bridge cultural gaps, and this year they made us dance and cry,” says Time.
1. Marmoset asked me, Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny is not only the artist with the best album (A Summer Without You), according to the Times, but also the singer with the number one song this year.
According to the magazine, in recent years there has been a rule not to select the same artist for best album and best song, “but we had to break tradition for Bad Bunny, who is at the top of our lists. A summer without you is an impeccable collection from start to finish and ‘Titi asked me’ is the jewel in the crown”.
2. Delinquent, Tokischa x Anuel AA x Ñengo Flow
In number two place is ‘Delincuente’, another song in Spanish, by Puerto Rican artists and the rapper from the Dominican Republic Tokischa.
“While the thunderous beat and raunchy lyrics are enough to make your heart race, the real star of ‘Offender’ is Tokischa’s confidence,” Time notes.
3. Part of the band, The 1975
The British pop and rock band is in third place with their song ‘Part of the band’, from their latest album ‘Being funny in a foreign language’.
In an interview with Apple Music, Matty Healy, lead singer of The 1975, assured that the song has no coherence in its narrative: “it was just this belief that it could speak.” On this, Time magazine states that no matter what it means, it sounds great.
4. F.N.F., Glorilla & Hitkidd
Time describes the song FNF by American rapper Glorilla and producer Hitkidd as the “song of the summer” and “for single women around the world.”
“Glorilla offers a bombastic and cheeky celebration of the new single life,” the magazine says.
5. Bad habit, Steve Lacy
The American Steve Lacy, 24 years old, achieves the number five position of the best songs of estr 2022 with his single Bad habit, because, according to Time, “it is a moving and soft mixture of melancholic longing”.
6. ChevyS10, Sudan Archives
Chevys10, from the album ‘Natural Brown Prom Queen’ gives Sudan Archives, American violinist, singer and songwriter the number 6 spot for best songs. It is “an avant-garde dance-pop treatise for all ages.”
7. Finesse, Pheelz ft. BNXN
The theme Finesse, which was used massively on TikTok in February, is for Time the seventh best song of this 2022, “the chorus is one of the most catchy of the year.” The single, which already has 57 million views on YouTube, was produced by producer Pheelz and singer BNXN, both Nigerian.

9. Kind of girl, MUNA
“The band’s hope shines through on this song, an emotionally charged acoustic track that evokes a heartfelt country ballad,” Time says of MUNA’s ‘Kind of girl’, an American indie pop band made up of Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin and Naomi McPherson.
10. Jack, Hardy
For Time magazine, “Jack is a prime example of the developing prowess” of singer Hardy, about whom little is yet known. This theme, which “offers compelling twists on country music” has more than 2.3 million views on YouTube.
