AllMusic’s Best of 2022

The end of 2022 is upon us and we like to use it as a time to reflect on the year gone by. Throughout December we’re going to present the best releases of a few dozen genres and formats.

• As the world re-emerged from its pandemic stupor, music roared back in a big way in 2022. From Rosalía’s inspired genre-mashing to Harry Styles’ millennial pop stylings and the insistent and sly indie muscle of Dry Cleaning, this year held a wealth of new music. Check out our overall Best Albums of 2022 list and follow along for a new list every weekday throughout the rest of the year.
