50 albums of 2022 guaranteed on our Spotify Wrapped

After another year of decoding artists' cryptic social media posts and staying up until midnight to listen to our favorite new albums as soon as they're released, we're looking back at all the biggest album releases of 2022.

For Taylor Swift fans, the year has been a back-to-back musical spectacle with "Midnights," seven unexpected bonus tracks, and a residual love for "Red (Taylor's Version)," released in November 2021. Other artists who have topped the charts with new releases this year include Rosalía with "Motomami", The Weeknd with "Dawn FM", Harry Styles with "Harry's House", Kendrick Lamar with "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers", and more. From longtime favorites like SZA and Lizzo to up-and-coming artists like The Linda Lindas and Conan Gray, 2022's lineup of albums has been the ultimate fuel for crafting the perfect playlist.

As we eagerly await our top artists of the year to be revealed in this year's Spotify Wrapped, check out some of the biggest albums of 2022, including some new albums yet to come.
