Top 10 English Songs Of 2022

This year has been a rollercoaster of good and bad music releases, but fear not, we have compiled a list of the Best English Songs of 2022. We have it all, from big names like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Drake to rising stars like Jack Harlow. These new songs will undoubtedly make their way onto your party and sad playlists.

1. Break My Soul- Beyonce

She returned with a bang after keeping fans waiting for six years. This disco-house track from her latest album Renaissance is ideal for de-stressing. It is appropriate for any situation, from parties to workout sessions. It boosts everyone's serotonin levels with its uplifting lyrics and upbeat beats.

2. Unholy- Sam Smith, Kim Petras

Fans were surprised and delighted to see Sam Smith, who is known for writing sad songs for the broken-hearted, perform a track with sultry lyrics. This song was one of the most viral songs of 2022, giving the singer his first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts. Kim Petras was also the first transgender woman to have a number-one song on the charts.

3. Anti-Hero- Taylor Swift

It would not be an exaggeration to call this Anti-Hero the biggest song of 2022. Taylor Swift's masterpiece took the world by storm. With cheerful beats, the song includes heartfelt and relatable lyrics about her self-discovery journey. The song appears on her most recent album, Midnights. It not only reached #1, but it is also one of the Billboard Hot 100's longest-charting songs.

4. First Class- Jack Harlow

It would not be an exaggeration to call this Anti-Hero the biggest song of 2022. Taylor Swift's masterpiece took the world by storm. With cheerful beats, the song includes heartfelt and relatable lyrics about her self-discovery journey. The song appears on her most recent album, Midnights. It not only reached #1, but it is also one of the Billboard Hot 100's longest-charting songs.

5. Lonely at Night- Amanda Shires

Amanda's seventh solo album, Take It Like A Man, contains the song "Lonely At Night." Shires (a member of the country supergroup the Highwomen) is her own commanding force, a singer-songwriter whose vocal prowess elevates raw, almost too-real storytelling. Her style is heavily influenced by Carole King, and she has a similar sound to Dolly Parton.

6. Bad Habit- Steve Lacy

Lacy, the 24-year-old bedroom-R&B darling who ascended to main-stage stardom (SNL appearances, a Song of Summer VMA) earlier this year with his second solo studio album, Gemini Rights, isn't too cool to admit his insecurities. The loping, low-key beauty of "Bad Habit" is how perfectly it captures the heady mix of hey-girl bravado and crippling self-doubt that anyone who's ever been confronted with an unrequited crush knows so well.

7. CUUUUUuuuutee- Rosalia

Over two and a half minutes, Spanish superstar Rosala weaves a patchwork of ear-tingling mayhem across genres, continents, and centuries. First, a countdown to 21 by Vietnamese social media star Soytiet. Then comes a barrage of pummeling techno and rattling martial beats from Argentinian DJ-producer Tayhana, which sound like a fork stuck in a garbage disposal. Then everything comes to a halt for a stirring slice of torch balladry inspired by Kate Bush's classic "Wuthering Heights." 

8. Less than Zero- The Weekend

Dawn FM, the Weeknd's afterlife soundtrack, has a hidden bittersweet gem tucked away in its dark, neon-drenched alleyways. "Less Than Zero," in which Abel Tesfaye laments a sabotaged romance, contrasts twinkling, interstellar synths and a heavy kick-drum heartbeat with the singer's poignant prose. While the Weeknd is no stranger to documenting his self-destructive tendencies, his subdued, well-worn vocals cast a new pall over the proceedings this time.

9. Runner-Alex G

Dawn FM, the Weeknd's afterlife soundtrack, has a hidden bittersweet gem tucked away in its dark, neon-drenched alleyways. "Less Than Zero," in which Abel Tesfaye laments a sabotaged romance, contrasts twinkling, interstellar synths and a heavy kick-drum heartbeat with the singer's poignant prose. While the Weeknd is no stranger to documenting his self-destructive tendencies, his subdued, well-worn vocals cast a new pall over the proceedings this time.

10. As it was- Harry Styles

As It Was provides a chilling discourse on vulnerability. "Answer the phone/Harry, you're no good alone/Why are you sittin' at home on the floor?/What kind of pills are you on?" he coos wistfully, a man calling out from the pandemic ennui's house-pants purgatory. But there's a nefarious, unsinkable joy hidden beneath all that pretty syncopated melancholy: The synths gallop around like excited ponies, while his warm-wash vocals swoop and dip, a sweet little slice of life-support disco for the lonely.
