It took 50 people to make this list of 2022’s 100 best songs. Why put in that much effort, when algorithmically generated playlists can give a listener what they already know they want? Because there’s more to a year than the insulated corners that, in the streaming era, can feel so cozy. That’s especially true in a year like this one, whose thrills, even with hindsight, are tough to organize into neat categories or hierarchies. For the staff and contributors of NPR Music, making this list felt messy, but there’s an upside to the effort: We got together. We talked. We listened. We ended up making a ranked list of 100 songs that reflects the sprawling, energetic messiness of 2022. Because the end of a year is a nice moment to celebrate what you love, but it’s the perfect time to listen to something outside your comfort zone. A guarantee: You’ll find something here that does the trick. (And while you’re at it, be sure to check out our 50 Best Albums of 2022.)<\/p>\n
