The specialist magazine Rolling Stone just released his list of the 100 best songs of 2022. After a six-year hiatus, Beyoncé is present with hits at number two and eight CUFF IT and BREAK MY SOUL of the album Renaissance. We find in the top 10 titles from Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles and Canadian Drake. The Rolling Stone Top 100 are online on the Spotify portal.
1.Titi Me Pregunto – Bad Bunny
The third single from Puerto Rican rapper Titi Me Pregunto’s album Un Verano Sin Ti has been played 872 million times on Spotify. Shot in New York, the clip has been viewed 570 million times on YouTube.
2. CUFF IT – Beyoncé
Big funky bass, guitar tones by Nile Rodgers and percussion by Sheila E., CUFF IT is the second single from the Renaissance album that marked Beyoncé’s return from a six-year hiatus. An infectious title.
3. Bad Habit – Steve Lacy
The 24-year-old California singer-songwriter/singer hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with Bad Habit. The song also topped US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Hot R&B Songs, and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs at the same time. A first.
4. Karma—Taylor Swift
On this track from the opus Midnights, released last October, Taylor Swift says her lover is Karma. Quality “synth-pop” that’s a far cry from the country Taylor Swift of its early days.
5. Depecha—Rosalia
The single Despecha received the most plays in Spotify history for a song in Spanish by a female artist upon its release. Since then it has reached 435 million plays. The song reached number one in Spain, Panama and Uruguay.
6. Hotel Lobby – Quavo and Start
Collaboration between Quavo and Takeoff from the hip hop group Migos. With the simple hotel lobby, the duo dropped a bombshell. A heavy play that started a month before Takeoff was murdered on November 1 at a bowling and billiards alley in Houston, Texas.
7. deposit withdrawal – Pharrell (with 21 Savage and Tyler, The Creator)
Composed by Pharrell Williams over beats, Cash In Cash Out features vocals by rappers 21 Savage and Tyler, The Creator. Cash In Cash Out was launched as a single and debuted on TikTok in early June.
