2022 was a pretty memorable year all things considered but still seemed to flash by in the blink of an eye. Maybe that’s down to our own advancing years. Despite all that, we will never tire of saying that yet again our home-grown talent knocked it out of the park. From old favourites returning to the fold to young artists exploding out of the gates, it was another busy year.
It is always tough to whittle down thousands of tracks into a shortlist of only 50 but our lovely team have just done that. May we present to you tracks fifty to twenty six of our songs of the year. Hopefully it gives a small taste of how good a year 2022 was for music from Northern Ireland. Long may it continue!
