best of HONESTLY, 2022. - Top 25 Singles + FINISHED!!!

[TRF.]

 

Don't really have much to say, other than that it's been extremely hard to narrow these lists to their respective numbers because of the sheer amount of great albums, EPs and more that were released throughout the year. That being said, I'm also excited to start! I think what we're gonna do is:

 

Top 50 Albums

Top 20 EPs

Top 100 Singles

Top 20 Music Videos

Top 10 Mixtapes

 

And maybe a few other things? We'll see about that!

Well... there's a lot of stuff (especially on rap, though not exclusively) that's not been released as albums per se, and I don't wanna clog my albums list with stuff that's technically not an album... which is also an interesting debate as to what is or isn't an album but I don't wanna get into it now lmao

 

Anyway, first list should be up tomorrow! We're going for Top 20 Music Videos

[TRF.]

Also I'll be commenting on your lists in a bit!

[MP2K]

In in there! You know I am always here

[Remmy]

Ready to see what you've got  Will likely not know much as usual but we'll see

 

Also I hope today wasn't the Saturday you wanted to start on because the forum was dreadful earlier

PLAYLIST FEATURING THE VIDEOS

[JGibson]

Tove Lo 

[Sanguine]

Don't watch MVs much but I HAVE seen your top three, and they're great. MagBay delivered hard with their MVs this era and kept it a bit DIY but also a lot higher budget. Lemme watching Magician because that's been on repeat the whole week

 

Excited for the other lists!

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

I really really love Plan B and The Heart 5 minimalism in the MV like it's really refreshing for some reason 

 

Washed Away, No One Dies... & Gasoline are one of my favorite MVs this year 

[rvx]

Bad Bunny + The Weeknd + Tove Lo 

[TheWayWeWere]

No One Dies from Love is truly the best MV of the year  the only one I remember about a year later (with Tears in the Club being the second)

 

[Wicked]

Can't wait to see what Experimental joints I missed this year. Nice video selection. 

[madonnas]

I'm so bad at MVs that I haven't even seen any besides... WAshed Away?Love most of these songs though, so I'll just blindly cosign.

[Alldeezy]

No one dies from love 

[BlackoutZone]

The music videos list already is pretty much perfect, Doechii especially gagged us all so much like..

Yeah I love how it kinda stays true to the very DIY, digital vibe of their other older MVs but like... elevated!

TitC was very close to making it  I guess it being released on the tail end of the year messed things up a bit.

Thank you! There's a lot of that coming for sure.

No exactly... like that video left me a bit shook.  This Is America WISHES

Thought about making a lengthy description for each of these but I'm in my low effort era so all I'll say is that:

 

• The Rico Nasty mixtape is for the people who went through their Crystal Castles and their Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded era simultaneously. Not everyone's going to get it, but I know I did.
• Don't always get the thing behind Sematary and adjacent people, but Gunsmith tha Mixtape is probably my favorite thing any of those people have ever done.
• Iceboy Violet does a really great job of mixing grime, post-club and trap influences to make something that's very eerie yet very addictive. Need a full length release, same with Blackhaine.
• This 454 mixtape might not be for everyone, particularly because the vocals can be a little... grating I suppose? But if you can make it past that you'll get one of the coolest rap releases of the year.
• Caprisongs might come across as a bit of a sell-out move from someone like FKA twigs, but it does make sense the more you listen to it. It sounds like the true future of pop music, the incorporation of club sounds from all over the world while still giving it a very twigs-like experimental turn, it opens a lot of possible paths for her to go forward with and that's very important, as is the fact that almost every song is an undeniable banger with endless replayability.

[Grumpy Cat]

FKA twigs being the first is what matters the most

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

Caprisongs is just IT  It just to shows that Twigs can make mainstream music and it still sounds very good compare to her peers. If any pop girls would release Tears In The Club, it would be a hit
