A collected list of my top tracks of 2022, as I blast my ears through nearly ONE MILLION minutes of audio listened!!! My playlists are personal; This is not to suggest the Best Of, the ‘22 New New, someone else’s version of cool, or the smolest/Hot Rising music made or found this year. In the process, I used my Spotify Wrapped ‘21 and ‘22, Spotify On Repeat, Spotify Repeat Rewind, Apple Music Replay ‘22, Apple Music Favorites Mix, some scrambled playlist gone too long, and my track loosies. I dared to skim my eyes through a few overeager websites lists, too. Ranked the first ten tracks, and ordered the hell out of the remaining 90. Listen in my meticulous order, or shuffle it, freaks! I am once again emotional-line dancing in the studio kitchen! If I’m going to do my homework, I will make 100’s. Have some fun!
PERSONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Charli XCX is my crowning Pop Queen of 2022!
More receipts of my Queen to follow. I made a Charli primer playlist 4 U! for starters!
My Favorite Band: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Thank You So Much For Asking — I’ll report back!
COLORE TOP 100
visions, Charli XCX!!!!!!!!!! ACTION!
Twice, Charli XCX — on repeat! until it/I/the word/emotion dies, rests in a coma, respectfully reflects, and jolts me into my LIFE! again! in an infinite trackipede kind of way
I’M THAT GIRL, Beyoncé — LISTEN to RENAISSANCE.
BIZCOCHITO, ROSALÍA — The first sound I think when I beep my eyes open to werk as early as I can in the morning.
Después de la Playa, Bad Bunny — No comment.
Say It, SASAMI — Most *Nervous, Happy, Scared, Excited* for my fleeting, fragile human body I felt at a live show this year (I loved it). I believe SASAMI is one of the hardest touring musicians working this year. Her schedule for SXSW alone should have awarded her a medal, and with the feral energy embodied putting the piece in her mouth, or maybe lassoing and whipping it from the edge of the stage. She rules.
The Link Is About to Die, Los Bitchos — Lucky enough to see these ladies live twice?! Nice!! Ewok dancing until I ascend with my bestfriends and we all come back glowing in the remastered editions
Iron Lung, K.G.L.W. — Watching this flat on my back, projected on my entire bedroom wall saying, “yoooooo” every 5 seconds
Pink Funeral, Beach House — I imagine a frozen moment of myself posing, smiling at the top of a cliff in a storm looking down at you crying. I imagine I am a beautiful statue in the chaos.
Hunter, Björk — I started my more serious slow study of solo female artists.
