25. Late Night Talking (Harry Styles)

An ace sing-along. And a song about just talking all night? Yes please. This song gives off the 80s Paul Simon 70s Paul McCartney vibes and I'm hear for it. Simply having a wonderful talking time. 9/10

Good morning, Tahlvin!

24. We Don't Talk About Bruno (Carolina Gaitan, Mauro Castillo, Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz, Diane Guerrero, Stephanie Beatriz & Encanto Cast)

Sorta wild this was huge but makes sense. First of all, what a lovely danceable beat. Also must be fun for kids to learn by heart. And when everything blends together at the end, that's Lin shooting-his-shot. Also I like how the song completely changes heard the second time, as the film reveals what is truly happening, peeling those layers. 7/1

So, uh, what are we going to talk about?

We Only Talk About Tahlvin

23. Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush)

Like to think I'm hip, but I first remember hearing this in 2017 -- my 80s and classic rock stations never played this. I really liked it at the time, but it was hearing it randomly on the radio in 2020 that it really connected to me. Blows my mind, that I've heard it dozens of times on the radio since, on the 80s station, on the adult contemporary station, on the top 40 station, and on the 'Hot' station. WILD. Good on everyone, including me, getting on board with this as an all time classic. 10/10

Wow, Kate Bush charts in 2022 because of Stranger Things. That's solid.

That choreography is legit.

22. Titi Me Pregunto (Bad Bunny)

Wish the video didn't have what looks like a little kid smoking, but my rating isn't about the video. The song had me at "Selfie. Say cheese!" <camera sound> what a perfect deployment of the english language here. Also love how it starts as a pop dance banger where he brags about all the girls from all the countries he's loved (Mambo #6?) quickly turns on a phone call from his Titi, his aunt, where the mood turns dark and light as he learns/ is forced to settle down. Bad Bunny, at the very least, undefeated at the switch-up! 10/10



Pete's Top 25 new-to-me in 2022 from Billboard's year-end Hot 100 chart: #7

I don't know his music, but I very much do not like what I've seen of Bad Bunny's acting.

Hip, hop, a hippity-hop...a hip hip hip hop hop hippity hop. Beastie-Boy Bunny!

Wow, that really took a weird turn there from Eli. Can someone drive to Denver and check on him?

21. Woman (Doja Cat)

My nephew thought she was singing "Ooma. Ooma-Ooma-Ooma." It's also the best Doja Cat song I've heard.... wait, just realized, could it be... <looks it up> it is! It's afrobeat! I obviously love afrobeat. Gimme that beat all day. 9/10

Beastie-Bunny-Boy?

20. Me Porto Bonito (Bad Bunny & Chencho Corleone)

What I love most about this song is the mbira (or at least it sounds like one of them thumb pianos, the internet is suprisingly quiet on what it is, so it's probably just some synth preset). The rest of the song is pretty great too, though it's not my favorite of the Bad Bunny duets 9/10

Still not impressed with his acting.

19. Wasted On You (Morgan Wallen)

Well written well sung, but there's so many other good songs by artists who don't say racists things while drunk.

Here's something I've been thinking about. In the 70s, Elvis Costello used the very bad word while drunk. He said he was purposely being awful to get out of a bad conversation and went too far. Some, like MJ, never forgave him. Many, like Ray Charles (who it was directed at), and pretty much all white people, forgave him. What would have happened today? Would I have given him the benefit of the doubt? I kinda think, no. I could say his apology was somehow more honest or he has shown in the decades since how much of a not-racist he is. Or do I accept his apology simply because I like his music. Maybe? Anyways, not given that benefit to Wallen. Yet. Wonder what'll take. Time? 6/10

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=uKmg4 ... ture=share

Don't know anything about his music, but there's plenty of people who make good music that don't just casually call people "pussy ass n******"- which also indicates that he was comfortable enough with the word that I'm guessing he used it on the regular.

But after this came out "Wallen almost immediately saw a 1,220 percent increase in digital album sales and a 327 percent increase in song sales." So you know, country music has a problem. And since this all happened, he's now "redeemed" himself and is appearing on awards shows and welcomed back into the country music world as though it never happened. Fuck him and fuck you, country music collective. There's so much about this racist sack of shit that disgusts me, but even more so the disgusting people that felt the need to send a message by supporting him.

Second that. Fuck him and the people that support that shit.

18. Need To Know (Doja Cat)

Forget what this sounds like, but enjoy it when I hear it. Weird to have a forgetable but enjoyablle huge pop hit. 7/10

Me and Tahlvin! Taking on the... countryocrisy?

17. abcdefu (GAYLE)

I know critics are mixed to negative on this, but I like it. She still likes the dog! 8/10

Eliahad... what did I tell you about spreading your germs around? Now I'M sick.

This sucks.

Hang on now, I got mine from Gerald. Blame him!

How TF did you get sick from Kyle's ball?! He was just on a break for a few days!! You're as bad as Ross!

WE WERE ON A BREAK!

He wasn't talking about "the break"; he meant "you're as bad as Ross" as "entitled misogynist homophobe."

21. Woman (Doja Cat)
My nephew thought she was singing "Ooma. Ooma-Ooma-Ooma."

My kid has a whole lyrics worked out around "Roomba"; at one point a cat is riding on the Roomba which apparently amuses him due to Doja Cat emphasis on cat. I too am amused by this.

Marcel understands me.

16. Industry Baby (Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow)

Like the Rocky training montage horns here 8/10

Re: country dude so forgettable I cannot even remember his name for 5 seconds... this is the whole Trump and DeSantis phenomenon in a nutshell. You're going to tell white people they can't use the n-word? Well screw you, we're going to buy 10 more of it, take a video breaking one of our appliances, and then pass a law saying CRT is the real racism. Libs, owned!

E E E EEEEE -- like the rap -- my daughter says the bus sings along to the whole song except no one can do that part 8/10

I understand Marcel.

Good, you're all here! I... or actually, we... have an announcement:

Marcel and I are getting married!!

NO! WE WERE ON A BREAK!

Spare the sympathy!

14. Thats What I Want (Lil Nas X)

Heard in 2021 I'm pretty sure. The clean version is better. Really > F'in. My favorite Lil Nas X song, I may always be a sucker for an acoustic guitar in a pop song, Hey Ya now, Hey Ya forever... 9/10

Could you BE any more oblivious, Mike? Have some sympathy for Kyle.

Yo, Marcel. How YOU doin?

13. Bad Habits (Ed Sheeran)

I honestly don't know what I *really* want from an Ed Sheeran song but I don't think this is it 7/10

This is just classic Mike! You’re off in Mike-land with no thought for people’s feelings or monkeys!

12. About Damn Time (Lizzo)

Pretty much the only song with a minor swear in it, DAMN!, clean version that s, that I let my kids listen to. Just too joyous to skip because of something so small. And damn they need to grow up. Now. Kidding. Opposite. De-age pelase. I was mixed on this at first but eventually became my most listened to song of 2022. Fun funky music, fun fun lyrics, one of the few artists I allow the use of the B word, because b**** it might be better! 10/10

11. Wait For U (Future Featuring Drake & Tems)

Almost by default my favorite rap song on this list. Note: I did like a bunch of rap songs from last year, just none of my favs ended on the Top 100. Solid features (Yay Tems! and look it's that Drake guy, he allright), great mood. Has hooks and memorable lyrics so it rises above the rest 8/10

10. Cold Heart (Elton John & Dua Lipa))

"Hard-ened by you" Shouldn't work this well, but it does. I'm not always in the mood for it, but does its job. Happy for Elton, keep giving him his flowers. Hard-ened 8/10

"

I only one Dua Lipa song (about rules and counting them) which I thought was a pretty okay pop song. But what she really excels at is eat super hot chicken wings while being interviewed by Sean Evans. Might be the best Hot Ones performance ever. Ever.

one, don't pick up the phone. you know he's only callin cause he's drunk and alone
two eat lots of wings, get interview by Sean Evans
three listen to some Dua Lipa songs she's got a ton of great hits check out Future Nostalgia

9. Super Gremlin (Kodak Black)

For all I appreciate the sonicscapes a lot of these songs have most leave me cold. Do I have to learn about what he's referencing to appreciate it? Good chorus, minus point for the R word 7 /10

Bronchitis. Suck.
