SZA dropping SOS (her rabidly anticipated follow-up to 2017’s Ctrl) aside, our final chart of 2022 doubles as a rundown of the top-tier artists that have held it down for us in some way shape or form all year long.
Remixes continue to rule the day with new entries from Joe Goddard (Hot Chip) giving Nation of Language the seal of approval for indie-dance nights everywhere; Braxe + Falcon smoothing out Jungle’s sample-tastic “GOOD TIMES;” and avant-house legends Soulwax applying their expertise to the solo stylings of The XX’s Oliver Sim.
