So here are the top 10 songs and albums of 2022;

10. Omah Lay (Boy Alone)
Omah Lay’s “Boy Alone” comes with such a dinky light behind his first two projects. The songwriting on the album is brain-bursting. The songs are really deep, and are as true as an artist can be, but “Boy Alone” actually possesses the emotional power it was supposed to possess.

9. Rema (Raves And Roses)
Rema had an extremely successful release with his debut album “Rave and Roses”. However, the album generated majorly negative reviews from critics. Examining the album objectively, it sounds like most of the songs sound alike in terms of lyrics and themes.
8. Chike (The Brother’s Keeper)
Chike’s The Brother Keeper is a follow up to his critically acclaimed debut album “Boo of the Booless“. The reviews that have poured in indicated that The Brother’s Keeper matched up to the power of the singer’s debut album, and is indeed an incredible album.
7. Wizkid (More Love, Less Ego)
Wizkid’s More Love Less Ego thrives on Wizkid’s soulful and impressive delivery combined with his vocals which makes the songs so musical. Meanwhile, the lack of creativity on the album and the absence of diversity in song themes is a far shot from the artistic development expected from Wikzid’s Fifth Studio album.
