best of TalkThatRihanna’s Best Of 2022 | SOTY + Best and Worst Albums

[TheWayWeWere]

Sorry If I Hurt You is one of my favorite from CRASH era  yeah, I'm so mad it's only a bonus track

Heated

Treat Me is cutie, but FTN >>>>
Substance her best single for sure

[luckystrike]

Nonsense, Hasta Los Dientes, Catch Me In the Air, New Romantics 

 

I'm Good, Yuck and Heated mega BOPS!!! Treat Me, Immature and Sorry If I Hurt You amazing too 

[Alex]

dndjjsjsjsjs finally another Closer stan! I loved it personally idgaf 

 

Yuck, Heated, Immature, Sorry If I Hurt You, the taste! 

Awkward was my least fave on Ctrl deluxe but it’s still cute 

[rvx]

Late Night Talking + I'm Good 

[Grumpy Cat]

Beyonce and Charli are more than enough from you to prove me you have an amazing taste!

[dreamofyou]

yuck the absolute smash

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

SCREAM at Bebe had a SMASH hit this year with 2017 unreleased song like-  When will Madonna with Back That Up. Probably never with her slow ass

 

Substance, Heated, Immature & Awkward acclaim  Yes, Treat Me was sooo overhated like i don't understand it. Sure it's kinda letdown compare to Have Mercy but TM is basically in the same vein imo

The Charli picks Sorry If I Hurt You especially. Never liked her music as much as I did with Crash tbh

 

Flight's Booked definitley the best on HN, even if I played Massive more

 

Closer is a ripoff a GREAT song so it's definitely cute but it needed someone better than miss industry plant on the chrous

Exactly. This is her best work ever.

 

This is like the first time we disagree on something nnn, I love Ms Industry Plant on the chorus. Especially her background vocals on the final one

I love Treat Me so much  perfect workout song. And it really is so similar to Have Mercy

TOP 10 RIHVEAL

 

 

10.  Harry Styles - As It Was

I loved this when it released and played the hell out of it, but it definitely aged a tad. Definitely the best song on the mediocre album  

 

 

9. Camila Cabello & Ed Sheeran - Bam Bam

I’m gonna get dragged for this one  I honestly found this song addicting, with a ton of replay value. Thanks Ms. Sheeran for the Era Saving single   

 

 

8. Post Malone f/ Doja Cat - I Like You (A Happier Song)

#ThankYouDoja for saving my fave Post. He released one of the blandest albums of the year but this song is a clear standout. Catchy, fun, and Doja makes the song. Her little ad libs and harmonies in the chorus is everything 

 

7. Charli XCX  - Constant Repeat

Charli came out swinging here. This song is futuristic, euphoric, melodic and close to pop perfection. Aged like fine wine  

 

 

6. Beyonce - Break My Soul

Bey doing generic house music was all I wanted for years. I love the sample, and played this all Summer long. I don’t play it much these days, but at the time I was obsessed. One of my most played songs this year 

 

 

        TOP 5 RIHVEAL

 

5. SZA - Shirt

SZA can honestly do no wrong. Is there anything left to say? She just never disappoints. This probably would’ve been my #1 song if it came out earlier in the year

 

 

4. FLO - Cardboard Box

 

Ended No Harmony and Little Girls with one single. This R&B/Pop Debut Single should’ve smashed tbh. They dropped a flaw-free EP and this debut was everything. I see big things for them in 2023  
 

 

3. Lizzo - About Damn Time

 

After the Rumors fiasco she knew she had to come up with something quick    . So many elements I love about this song. The production, harmonies and background vocals in the chorus   Song of the Summer.

 

 

     2. The Weeknd - Less Than Zero

Yup, he did it again. One of his best songs ever and should’ve been a single (if only Die For You didn’t randomly take off ). This is literally Save Your Tears 2.0 without being too much of a rehash. This is Max’s last good work tbh. The chorus is so big and anthemic. And then the melancholy guitar outro  Me and @Mark Rih were snatched and are still praying for a single release in 2023 

                                   •
                                   •
                                   •

 

 

 #1 SONG OF 2022

 

FLO - Feature Me

Yup you read that right  This song is literally perfection. The production is straight from the 00s, but with a modern twist. The chorus is sexy, the harmonies are there, and each chorus builds on the next   One of the most quality songs I heard in a while. Anyone whose a sucker for 00s R&B/Pop would be obsessed. This is what Normani and Chloe keep trying to do and failing

 

 

Best and Worst Albums are up next

[Mark Rih]

Quote

Definitely the best song on the mediocre album

glad we agree AIW is good but I can't stand it now

 

Constant Repeat top 10 absolutely deserved

Shirt too it would've been definitely higher on my list too if released earlier

 

LTZ whew exactly. It will go down as a cult classic even if it doesn't become a single (maybe its DFY era is coming in 5 years )

 

Great list all around, I might have to check these FLO girlies

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

As It Was, Constant Repeat & Break My Soul in the top 5 YAASS

[TheWayWeWere]

Bam Bam is actually pretty nice, I don't care for the hate it gets

I Like You kinda ignored it for a long time, but started to love it recently

Constant Repeat one of my pure favorites from album
