2022 sounded like a good year, especially when you go by this chart topped by Gillette Venus' whimsical "It's Time To Care For Your Pubic Hair" song featuring rapper Princess Nokia. Also in the mix is a soccer chant for DoorDash which underscores that "passion should never go hungry." Our Top Five Tracks Chart for 2022 additionally includes a score from Oscar-nominated Minari composer Emile Mosseri for Montefiore Einstein Hospital.
So have a listen to the best music and sound that 2022 has to offer.
