Albums First Released in 2022

Touring returned at scale in 2022, while pop, R&B, hip hop and post-punk albums found audiences both online and in crowded rooms. Among the defining albums released in 2022 were SOS by SZA, Harry's House by Harry Styles, Ants from Up There by Black Country, New Road and The Forever Story by JID.

SZA moved across genres without losing a clear voice, Harry Styles leaned into warm live-band pop, Black Country, New Road made a dramatic ensemble record and JID delivered dense, agile rap.

Our Pick of the Year: SOS by SZA

SOS moves through R&B, pop, rock and rap while keeping SZA's writing at the centre. Kill Bill, Nobody Gets Me and Snooze approach relationships from different angles, and the long track list feels less scattered because the voice remains so specific. The album became a major streaming success without sounding designed around one format.
