2022 Billboard Year End charts

[JukeboxJacob]

as usual, Canada's chart is better. Here's some deserving songs that made it on their chart but not ours:

16. The Motto
22. Pepas
29. Where Are You Now?
30. When You're Gone
37. 2step
41. I'm Good
43. Take My Breath
48. Moth To A Flame
52. Sacrifice
64. Thousand Miles
65. Left & Right
66. Hold Me Closer
76. Do It To It
83. Out Of Time
93. Unstoppable
94. Music FAS Restaurant
96. My Universe
99. Get Money

Crazy that Abel actually had a successful year in Canada! Also Stupid Gremlin all the way down at #72 is a W.

I'm pissed. You need a paid subscription to see the Year-End lists for country music.

I take it back. I have ALL 24 year-end country charts in the Country forum.

I’m so happy Circles Around This Town made it as the last entry. I did not think it would give its low peak

the US chart only having the re-entry "Save Your Tears" for The Weeknd (and to an extent, also Ariana Grande) feels so wrong

[crazyb]

5 Songs made it with less then 40 Million Streams on Spotify

Like I Love Country Music: 38 Million
Trouble With A Heartbreak: 34 Million
Never Say Never: 33 Million
Circles Around This Town: 31 Million
Damn Strait: 31 Million

That's insane.

Many of these songs are not the artists' best efforts. Do we really care about 2 Step by Ed Sheeran. Thousand Miles by Kid Laroi is rather mediocre. Shawn Mendes new song wasn't that strong. And there is way too much of The Weeknd. The only songs I wouldn't have mind to see on the U.S. chart are Pepas, Left and Right and Unstoppable.

[artistry]

I think the U.S. Year End chart is a bit stronger than the Canadian Year End. The Canadian chart does not include Smokin Out The Window, Hrs and Hrs and Provenza.

^Thanks dremolus.

Now Big Energy and About Damn Time did not feel like huge urban songs. I never heard About Damn Time on urban radio. Last time I heard a Lizzo song on urban was Truth Hurts in 2019-2020. Big Energy was definitely played more, but not enough to feel like a big hit. Now if we're talking pop, then both of them felt huge on there.

Edit: Alien Superstar was a album track right.

[dremolus - solarpunk]

Yes, ALIEN SUPERSTAR is just an album cut

Did they publish one for Top Album Sales?

anyone want opinions well here you go

1. Heat Waves: A Tier. Good song, but didn't deserve to be such a monster hit
2. As It Was: A Tier. This song's mood is a bit too depressed
3. Stay: S Tier
4. Easy On Me: B. Hated at first but it grew on me
5. Shivers: Low B
6. First Class: B. Hated at first, now I rap along anytime it's on
7. Big Energy: A. Rhythmic perfection
8. Ghost: B. Only b/c the ending is so pretty
9. Super Gremlin: D. ONLY good for the sample
10. Cold Heart: B
11. Wait For U: E. I don't get the appeal
12. About Dang Time: A. Deserved top 10
13. Bad Habits: High B. Wow, so this is officially a "2022 song". Doesn't feel right but ok
14 & 51. That's What I Want/Boyfriend (both Bs): Gay music becoming mainstream
16. Industry Baby: High B. See Bad Habits
19. Wasted On You: C. Deserving of #1 country hit of the year
24. We Don't Talk About Bruno: S TIER. SONG OF THE YEAR RIGHT HERE
28. Bad Habit: S. 2nd best song of the year! I hope it places in 2023's YE top 10
30. One Right Now: B. Another song I didn't like at first but grew to love
32. Numb Little Bug: S. 3rd best song of the year, truly the theme song of 2022
35. Fancy Like: E. It's litcherally just the hokey pokey but country. Why was this such a hit??
38. Break My Soul: Low A. why'd it fall so fast? Deserved better
42. Levitating: A. they really credited DaBaby this year? He got cancelled into oblivion
48. Pushin Poop
50. I Hate U: C. I'm against the lyrics, okay otherwise
52. Glimpse Of Us: B. Objectively S, I'm just not one for sad songs
56. Super Freaky Girl: A. Idc what anyone says this one's a BANGER
62. Sweetest Pie: B. the awful MV killed it. Should've been a big hit
66. Bam Bam: High B. this year really needed the uplifting jam
72 - 74. OMG (High B)/Better Days (B)/Meet Me At Our Spot (High A): These 3 deserved better but hey they made it
81. Broadway Girls: Low C. HOT TAKE IK, but it's fun n catchy + I like the distorted prod
94. She's All I Wanna Be AKA good 4 u Lite: Low A. Very happy this one made it!
97. To The Moon: E. how tf did this make it? does this even qualify as a song??
99. One Mississippi: C. Not a country fan, but the chorus is great

Bad Bunny's songs all sound the same. That album didn't deserve to be so big

Overall I counted 46 songs I like (2021 re-entries excluded), the highest count since 2017!! Despite all the complaining I did, this wasn't that bad of a year for music. It was slow, & SO many songs got slept on, but there were still a lot of great hits! Overall I'm happy with the direction music is headed!

[davey]

Is there a mainstream top 40 airplay year end chart ??

The #18 album of the year and Canada's #83 song thrilled me the most. But no sign of JVKE (my breakout artist of '22) anywhere--the Grammys *might* consider him as a "new" artist for 2023...

don't worry, Golden Hour's proving to be a potential 2023 YE top 100 hit!
