Billboard unveiled our year-end Hot 100 chart on Thursday (Dec. 1), and now that you’ve seen the annual top 10, we want to know: Which top track of 2022 did you love the most?

Glass Animals‘ “Heat Waves” topped the tally for the year, thanks in large part to its historic, slow-burning rise to become the English act’s first No. 1 after a stunning 59-week journey to the summit. The psychedelic pop confection also holds the record for the longest-running Hot 100 hit in history at 91 weeks and became the first year-end No. 1 by a group since the Black Eyed Peas’ “Boom Boom Pow” way back in 2009.

The only other track this year that could’ve conceivably challenged Glass Animals’ claim to the throne was Harry Styles‘ “As It Was.” Released as the lead single from the former boy bander’s third solo album Harry’s House, the upbeat ditty snowballed into an inescapable pop behemoth over the summer, eventually spending 15 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1, including a five-week streak from Sept. 3 to Oct. 8, when it was unseated by Steve Lacy’s “Bad Habit.”

The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber‘s “Stay,” Adele‘s “Easy on Me” and Ed Sheeran‘s “Shivers” take up the next three spots on the 2022 list, rolling over from being released the previous calendar year. And Biebs earns the distinction as the only artist to notch two separate tracks in this year’s top 10 with his Justice-era single “Ghost” also swooping in at No. 8.

Jack Harlow‘s Fergie-sampling “First Class” flew to No. 1 a few weeks after its early April takeoff and lands at No. 7 at the end of the year as only the third track released in 2022 on the tally. Meanwhile, Kodak Black‘s “Super Gremlin” may have only peaked at No. 3, but it rounds out the top 10 at No. 9 just ahead of Elton John and Dua Lipa‘s “Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)” at No. 10.

It’s officially the last month of 2022, which means it’s time for Billboard‘s end-of-year charts to be revealed. But first, we want to know which top album on the Billboard 200 was your favorite this year!
Twenty-three studio sets may have claimed the top spot on the album-centric chart over the course of 2022, but only 10 made Billboard‘s list of top Billboard 200 albums, including a few major holdovers from last year.

No other artist spent longer at the apex of the all-genre chart in 2022 than Bad Bunny, whose Un Verano Sin Ti seemed practically unstoppable as it returned again and again to the No. 1 spot for a total of 13 non-consecutive weeks, in the process becoming the first Spanish-language album to be named the top Billboard 200 album of the year.

As chart fanatics will of course recall, Taylor Swift posted the best first-week sales in nearly seven years, and was the only artist to pass the million-album mark in a single week with the release of Midnights at the end of October.

However, the superstar also became the only artist to notch not one, but two LPs on the year-end tally thanks to the continued love for Red (Taylor’s Version), which was released in November 2021. (For the record, Midnights comes in at No. 4 with the rerecording of 2012’s Red right behind it at No. 5).

Meanwhile, Harry Styles moves into the No. 7 spot, just behind the soundtrack to Disney’s Encanto, and The Weeknd‘s greatest hits collection The Highlights rounds out the top 10 as the first compilation to make a year-end list since Garth Brooks’ 2014 LP Blame It All On My Roots: Five Decades of Influences.

Other studio sets from the previous year to make the list included Adele‘s gargantuan 30 at No. 2, Morgan Wallen‘s Dangerous: The Double Album at No. 3, Olivia Rodrigo‘s smash debut Sour at No. 8 and Drake‘s Certified Lover Boy, which took its place at No. 9 over his more recent releases Honestly, Nevermind and Her Loss with 21 Savage.

It’s been another banner year on the Billboard Hot 100, with 14 different tracks reaching the top spot on the chart during 2022.
And with December on the horizon, Billboard‘s end-of-year charts are set to be unveiled on Thursday (Dec. 1), so before that happens, we want to know which song you think will turn out to be the top Hot 100 hit of the year.

January started with a holdover from the holiday season, as Mariah Carey‘s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” spent the first two weeks of the year at No. 1 before giving way to Adele‘s smash “Easy on Me.” However, the first new song to take the top spot was actually “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from Disney’s Encanto, which dominated the entire month of February and the first week of March.

Then, Glass Animals‘ “Heat Waves” completed its historic, slow-burning climb to No. 1 after a record 59 weeks. (The psychedelic bop now holds the title as the longest charting song of all time on the tally.)

By the middle of April, Harry Styles kicked off his Hot 100 domination with “As It Was.” The lead single from Harry’s House eventually settled in to spend 15 nonconsecutive weeks in the top spot, alternating for the crown with the likes of Jack Harlow‘s “First Class,” Future‘s “Wait For U” featuring Drake and Tems, and “Jimmy Cooks” by Drake and 21 Savage.

Female artists finally got their well-deserved due over the summer when Lizzo, Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj each took turns at No. 1 with, respectively, “About Damn Time,” “Break My Soul” and “Super Freaky Girl” before Styles came roaring back to spend five more weeks at the top.

The song that eventually toppled the former One Direction-er’s hot streak was Steve Lacy‘s “Bad Habit,” followed by Sam Smith and Kim Petras‘ “Unholy.” And with the arrival of Midnights in late October, Taylor Swift has dominated the chart for the last five weeks, with “Anti-Hero” passing “Shake It Off” as the second longest running chart-topper of her career thus far.
