Adam's 2022 End of Year Top 100:

Back for a third year running, it's that time of year where I count down my most played songs of 2022. I'm expecting an influx of musical theatre songs to appear here after really exploring my passion for theatre in 2022. I am using Spotify Wrapped to create this top 100, so let's see.

Can Little Mix make it two years in a row in my top 10 with Sweet Melody? Or will Heathers completely take over the chart?

Top 10 songs of 2021:

01. Rita Ora & Imanbek - Bang Bang
02. Little Mix - Sweet Melody
03. Cast of RuPaul's Drag Race UK - UK Hun?
04. Rita Ora, Imanbek & David Guetta - Big (feat. Gunna)
05. ATB, Topic & A7S - Your Love (9PM)
06. Nathan Evans - Wellerman (220 Kid & Billen Ted Remix)
07. Ava Max - My Head & My Heart
08. Galantis, David Guetta & Little Mix - Heartbreak Anthem

This should be interesting! I'm starting to make my Year-End list for the year as well.

Really love "Your Love", "Wellerman", "My Head & My Heart", "Heartbreak Anthem" and "We're Good" from the last year's song of the year selection and "Midnights"and "Harry's House" being in your top 5 albums this year is also cool!

Let's get this started shall we? :D

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2022:

100. Gabry Ponte - The Finger (feat. Georgia Ku)



Release Date: April 1, 2022 | UK Chart Peak: DNC
Peak: 39 | Adam's Chart Run: 39-41-x (2 weeks)

Kicking off my top 100 songs of 2022, we have a rarely unknown track that didn't manage to chart or really take off anywhere to be honest. I really enjoy it thoug. As one of those 'F.U' type of songs, this really does it justice and is an absolute earworm.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2022:

99. Ava Max - Freaking Me Out



Release Date: July 31, 2019 | UK Chart Peak: DNC
Peak: 41 | Adam's Chart Run: 41-x (1 week)

At #99 is our first entry from Ava Max with a song released back in 2019. Freaking Me Out is a very different sound to Ava's most popular tracks and is a welcome change among her discography.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2022:

98. Dear Evan Hansen - You Will Be Found



Release Date: February 3, 2017 | UK Chart Peak: DNC
Peak:16 | Adam's Chart Run: 23-16-x-49-46-x (4 weeks)

One of the most remarkable songs to come out of modern theatre is You Will Be Found from the hit musical, Dear Evan Hansen. This song is widely regarded amongst theatre fans as a song of healing and this track is stunning from start to finish. I am still gutted it has left the West End.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2022:

97. Regard & Years & Years - Hallucination



Release Date: February 18, 2022 | UK Chart Peak: 56
Peak: DNC | Adam's Chart Run: N/A

Hallucination didn't manage to chart for me at all this year, but has coasted it's way along to a top 100 position this year. It's quite generic, as is most DJ-Pop collaborations but Years & Years sounds stunning on this, as they always do. The music video however... hideous.

Edited December 19, 20222 yr by AdamG

Really like "Hallucination" from your list so far!

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2022:

96. Legally Blonde - Omigod You Guys



Release Date: January 1, 2010 | UK Chart Peak: DNC
Peak: 42* | Adam's Chart Run: 42-*
*Still charting.

Another musical entry here and it comes from Legally Blonde. Now, I only saw this show this year when it was revived at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre. And I absolutely loved it - although I would love to see the show with a full set. Courtney Bowman was amazing as Elle Woods and I loved how camp and inclusive the cast were.

Hallucination was a pretty nice dance track! It's grown on me a bit as I'm not sure whether I charted it either but I can still remember it well.

Really like "Hallucination" from your list so far!

Thanks for the comments guys! It's definitely gone under the radar this year!

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2022:

95. SIX - Ex-Wives



Release Date: August 31, 2018 | UK Chart Peak: DNC
Peak: 08* | Adam's Chart Run: 8-28-35-36-40-44-x-43-49-x-34-24-22-29-29-45-40-36-44-47-46-x-36-19-29-35-x-10-x-44-x-39-15-* (28 weeks)
*Still charting.

2020 EOY Chart Position: 22
2021 EOY Chart Position: 51

It's the first song to appear in all three of my EOY charts and it comes from Six. I love this show and even had the pleasure of working at it last week meaning I got to see the show twice in one day :D. Ex-Wives is still such a brilliant opening number and I just love the way they use the original poem in this song. I have been a fan of the show since day one and to see it become such a massive hit in the UK and abroad is so great. Go and see it if you haven't already.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2022:

94. Avril Lavigne - Bois Lie (feat. Machine Gun Kelly)



Release Date: February 25, 2022 | UK Chart Peak: DNC
Peak: DNC* | Adam's Chart Run: N/A

At #94 is our first entry from Avril Lavigne. It was a welcome return to music for Avril and I really enjoyed her album, Love Sux. Bois Lie never charted for me and probably finds itself here due to my continual replaying of the album in the earlier part of 2022. A good song, but not the best on there.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2022:

93. Rita Ora (with Imanbek) - Bang Bang



Release Date: February 12, 2021 | UK Chart Peak: DNC
Peak: 01 | Adam's Chart Run: 5-2-1-1-1-1-1-2-5-3-9-18-20-28-35-x-23-47-x-31-29-23-25-45-x-48-x (23 weeks)

2021 EOY Chart Position: 01

Bang Bang was my #1 song of 2021, and it makes a brief reappearance here in 2022 at #93. This song was criminally underrated and I for one loved the use of the sample. What an absolute bop. A pop tragedy that it wasn't a hit.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2022:

92. Nicki Minaj - Super Freaky Girl



Release Date: August 12, 2022 | UK Chart Peak: 05
Peak: 03 | Adam's Chart Run: 22-13-12-8-5-3-13-14-11-9- (10 weeks)*
*Still charting

A welcome return to form for Nicki Minaj this year. Having not really hit the heights of pop perfection for a number of years, I did wonder if we would ever get classic Nicki back, thankfully we did and Super Freaky Girl was a great return to form even if the 'eeeeeeeeeeeee' does get a little jarring at times.

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2022:

91. Fergie - A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (feat. Q-Tip & GoonRock)



Release Date: January 1, 2013 | UK Chart Peak: 90
Peak: 14 | Adam's Chart Run: 23-14-15-18-x-48-39-x (6 weeks)

This was a surprise entry to my chart this year. I've never seen The Great Gatsby or heard this song before. In my previous job working in entertainments, this song was used during one of the shows in a touring production and I loved it. Another song from said production will appear in this chart too. I couldn't believe it was Fergie when I saw the actual song title, doesn't sound like her! A bop though for sure.

Current countdown recap:

 

91. Fergie - A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (feat. Q-Tip & GoonRock)

92. Nicki Minaj - Super Freaky Girl

93. Rita Ora (with Imanbek) - Bang Bang

94. Avril Lavigne - Bois Lie (feat. Machine Gun Kelly)

95. SIX - Ex-Wives

96. Legally Blonde - Omigod You Guys

97. Regard & Years & Years - Hallucination

98. Dear Evan Hansen - You Will Be Found

99. Ava Max - Freaking Me Out

100. Gabry Ponte - The Finger (feat. Georgia Ku)

Adam's End Of Year Chart - Top 100 - 2022:

90. Avril Lavigne - Bite Me



Release Date: December 17, 2021 | UK Chart Peak: 61
Peak: 03 | Adam's Chart Run: 13-7-6-5-7-10-3-4-7-28-37-44-x

The lead single from Avril Lavigne's return album, Love Sux. Bite Me was an OK lead single but I would have preferred another track to lead the album campaign. Still, it was great to hear Avril return to her rockier side with this album and Bite Me has a decent enough hook.

Bang Bang still sounds incredible *.* love Bite Me as well! :wub:

Really like "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody" and "Super Freaky Girl" from your latest chart.

Great so far.
