Songs from the Best Albums of 2022 (So Far)
__________
WHILST it is not…
the most reliable guide and source when it comes to the very best albums of the year, Metacritic keep a track of the collated reviews for various albums and then put an average score out of 100. One of the issues is that Metacritic does not take in all reviews, and it can be a little selective about which reviews it counts. As an example, I think Taylor Swift’s recent Midnights must be one of the most-acclaimed of the year – even if Metacritic put it at thirty-fifth. That is why I have included an image of Swift as the lead. Regardless, I wanted to combine songs from the top-forty albums of this year according to the metrics of Metacritic (as of 6th November). There is still a bit of a way to go until the end of the year, so there might be an album or two that could challenge the top-forty. I think that the albums included in the playlist below are a fair representation of the finest albums of 2022. As you can hear from the music included, it has been…
SUCH a strong year.
