UPstar. Music's Top 100 Songs of 2022

2023 is off to a fast start and so we take a look back at UPstar. Music's Top 100 Songs of 2022. To make it clear, this list isn't based off of the most Spotify streams or a point system which takes into account the production, songwriting and voice behind the song. These are songs and artists I see great potential in and whose songs would be hits (in my opinion) if they had a bigger spotlight on them or were massive hits this past year. Another great year of music from rising artists. Take a scroll and find some new songs! What was your favorite song in 2022?
