Top 50 Pop Songs of 2022

Hey, it's Che Diaz!

Can you believe I've done this for 8 years in a row? And in all that time we had more Avatar movies than Keri Hilson singles?

I am proud of this year's top 50 (and the top 200 on the playlist below), I think it's my favorite list yet. 

KEY:
😴 = R&B
👑 = GAY
🤬 = NOT IN ENGLISH
♣️ = WOULD PLAY IN A CLUB
❄️ = EDGY
❌ = MEN
🥛 = sorry everyone next time I will try to not include meghan trainor but I was not born perfect
