ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted May 1, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted May 1, 2023 How should we define 2022 in popular music? By the genre-defying international breakthrough riding deafening buzz or the year’s top seller, a Spanish-language album for the first time? By the Grammys’ Album of the Year winner, crowning the industry’s next great hope, or the masterpiece from a long-absent superstar that it shockingly beat, which earned more fervent critical acclaim than any other project in those twelve months? By the record-breaking return of the world’s biggest pop star or the surprise release that usurped the zeitgeist, slipping in just before we closed the books on the year? This is your chance to decide. Which of 2022’s biggest and best albums was your favorite? You can help choose the winner by ranking each of these 120 songs on a scale of 1-10 and then sending me your ballot by Wednesday, May 31. Please listen to everything again at least once before submitting. I want honest assessments, not scores based on your memory or biases. Up to two decimal points are allowed. Feel free to include commentary if you are so moved. And no trolling or your vote will be tossed. Happy listening! Results Spoiler 1. "Virgo's Groove" Beyoncé 2. "Good Days" SZA 3.

BGKC Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 This should be fun. I haven’t listened to Un Verano Sin Ti or Harry’s House in full yet, so I’ll get to that and try to send over my ballot sometime this week. Virgos Groove and America Has A Problem are 11/10s btw
BlackoutZone Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Ok yeah we will see, but keep tagging me when time starts running out

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted May 1, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Posted May 1, 2023 You all will be stanning “El Apagón,” promise me that!
Everyperfectsummer Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 SAOKO, PURE/HONEY, Good Days, YOYO K and Otro Atardecer all coming for the Top 10 if ATRL knows taste.
State of Grace. Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Ugh I dont wanna sit through Hagrid's Basement I like all the rest. Solid line-up.
kandicha Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 This looks like fun! I was just thinking about how I need to give Harry’s House a second chance.
Sazare Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 This looks fun! I’ve only listened to one and a half of these albums (Renaissance and Motomami, respectively) but this would give me a reason to listen to the others

conatus Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) Might do this if I can force myself to sit through the Harry album. Manifesting the Bizcochito/America Has a Problem top 2. Edited May 1, 2023 by conatus
Ewan Chaos Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Two of these albums TOWER over the rest. But don't you worry babes, I'm MORE than happy to participate and give designated lashings where deserved (along with VERY high scores for those other two).
greento Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) this is literally the exact list of albums i was expecting for this rate i will get to work on my scores half of these i've heard in full multiple times (Tay, Bey, Harry), the others I've heard most of so hopefully it shouldnt take too long Edited May 1, 2023 by greento

wish Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 I'll be participating! Just need to fully revisit Bad Bunny's album

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted May 1, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Posted May 1, 2023 Everyone please give a 10 to “F2F”!
cockatoo Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 I might do this. Haven't heard Midnights or Bad Bunny's album. I hated his LMNOPQ one tho
conatus Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 1 minute ago, supaspaz said: It deserves top ten! Maybe top ten songs in this rate whose title begins with M

Diet Pepsi Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 I want to participate but idk if I can handle listening to Harry’s House again
BlackoutZone Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 56 minutes ago, supaspaz said: Too many albums? Too many men? Hmm no tbh this time I'm pretty satisfied with the choices, I think all are justified! I'd swap Harry or Bad Bunny for Dawn FM since it scored great acclaim, but I guess it was a fad compared to big success of other two eras.
Katamari Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Harry’s house wasn’t even that bad yall doing the most
