An extremely unexpected #1, but a great pick.

After their 90s songs list a few months ago signaled a further shift from indie rock to R&B and pop, now Pitchfork has Alvvays, Destroyer, Alex G, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs as 4 of the best 6 songs of 2022. Interesting...

I love Somewhere Near Marseilles in the top 10 and Midnight Sun in the top 20!

I think Spitting Off the Edge of the World and Bad Habit have an edge on it.

That's two years in a row Pitchfork have put a song they didn't even do a track review for as their song of the year. Not saying it's bad, but it is odd because it feels like as an industry, music is increasingly focused on the individual song (Spotify wrapped doesn't even mention albums), but it's incredibly hard to find places actually doing substantive writing about the best songs of the year, prior to end of year lists.

+ I believe they gave Beyonce's Virgo Groove a BNT yet the song didn't even make it into the list.
