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.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
-
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."
-
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.

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.
