The Song of Summer for 2022 was “As It Was” by Harry Styles. It dominated the Billboard music chart. It has been No. 1 for 13 weeks so far.
It’s a great song, very well produced. I agree with the popular opinion this year.
Styles also is my pick for the music artist of summer 2022. I’ve been picking the breakout or dominating music artist of summer for the past five years. In addition to “As It Was,” Styles had a hit with “Late Night Talking.”
An honorable mention goes to Kate Bush, whose song “Running Up That Hill” from 1985 returned to the top of the charts thanks to its use on hit TV series “Stranger Things.”
While Billboard crowned “As It Was” the song of summer, others had different choices.
Spotify said its most-streamed music track in the U.S. this summer was “Running Up That Hill.” However, worldwide the No. 1 song for the period was “As It Was.”
The MTV Video Music Awards honor for Song Of The Summer went to Jack Harlow for “First Class.”
In addition to “As It Was,” here are some of my other favorite songs from summer 2022:
- “About Damn Time” by Lizzo
- “Bam Bam” by Camila Cabello ft. Ed Sheeran
- “Used to Know Me” by Charli XCX
- “Big Energy” by Latto
- “Woman” by Doja Cat
