Billboard’s Top 5 Songs of the Summer 2022 | Billboard News

Billboard looks back and counts down the top five songs that ruled the summer of 2022.

We’ve made it to the last week before our big reveal. What were the big songs of the summer last year? Let’s dive right into our top five.

Coming in at No. 5: a song that had a huge resurgence thanks to Stranger Things. Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” kicks us off.

Our next song includes an epic collab with Future, Drake and Tems. They team up for the No. 4 song on the Hot 100 Songs of the Summer with “Wait for You.”

Jack Harlow samples Fergie’s “Glamorous” for our No. 3 song of the summer, a throwback that helped to get to the top. Jack Harlow’s “First Class” comes in next.

Our No. 2 song is one we could not get out of our heads. Lizzo had us jamming last summer to “About Damn Time.”

And we were all in our feelings last summer when Harry Styles put out the top song: his whimsical ballot “As It Was” — a perfect mix of nostalgia and hope became the No. 1 song of the summer.

Next week, the big reveal the top song of 2023. What do you think will make the top of the list?
