Top 100 Songs of 2022: The Year-End Chart

“Heat Waves” by Glass Animals was the biggest hit of 2022, finishing at No. 1 on the year-end Top 100 ahead of “As It Was” by Harry Styles and “Stay” by The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber. The year-end chart ranks the songs that performed best across the whole year, not just in a single week.

19 acts placed more than one song on the list, led by Doja Cat (6), Bad Bunny (5), Dua Lipa (3), Future (3), Morgan Wallen (3). 15 of the 100 were holdovers from the 2021 list, so 85 songs were new to the year-end chart.
