Top Songs of 2022

Rounding out my year end music roundup with a look back at my list of the top songs of 2022. For the 2nd time in 3 years, Pretoria nabs the top spot on the year-end list with their new track "Certainly". They also took the top spot on the 2020 year-end roundup with "Skinny Dip", and have been a constant presence on the site with their stunning and beautiful indie-rock rhythms that are starting to build an audience. Benicio Bryant comes in at #3 for the year with "Feels Like" and has 3 songs in this year's Top 20, showcasing his booming voice and his inescapable, melodic charm. British indie-dance rockers Delights come in at #4 this year with the earworm infused hooks of "Tender" that put the group on the musical radar, and signaled their arrival here in the States. This year-end list is one of the most balanced and diverse ever, and is one that I'm extremely proud of.
