We’re at the end of 2022, folks, and what a year it’s been.
From Bad Bunny's World Domination to Shocking Moments at the Oscars; The chaotic "Don't Worry Darling" news tour showcases the rise of the modern muse Julia Fox; Beyonc̩ Dancing Disco and "Abbott Elementary" won our hearts Рwe adapted to a lot of pop culture in 52 weeks.
Relive with us the most memorable moments in pop culture in 2022 – the good, the bad, and the feared.
Bad Bunny dominated
"Un Verano Sin Ti" has been at the top of the charts since its release in May, and it's full of bangs and songs that can be played when you recover from banging your head. Bad Bunny has been the world's most streamed artist on Spotify for three consecutive years. Not to mention, Benito es que Lindo.
Beyoncé's party was like 1977
This year, Queen B...
... Finally released a pure dance album of her best work in years, "Renaissance"!
...... Cemented her status as a true gay icon! Welcome!
Taylor Swift breaks record (and heart)
Now in her "Midnight" era, Swift's Late Night Contemplation new album was one of the year's best-selling albums. We sincerely apologize to Swiftie readers who couldn't buy tickets for her upcoming tour, but maybe you could join the lawsuit against Ticketmaster for making the process so difficult?
TV had fantasy fever
With the addition of "Game of Thrones," "Star Wars," "The Lord of the Rings" and Anne Rice's "Vampire Interview," viewers have raved about this year's genre TV. There are hits. But most importantly, there are dragons, elves, vampires, and exhausted former Jedi.
The "Don't worry, dear" TV series is happy
Haven't seen a movie; Not required. The behind-the-scenes footage kept us watching for months – Olivia Wilde fell in love with Harry Styles and probably fell out with a "Miss Flo", Chris Pine parted ways and spat at the Venice premiere! - and eclipses the film itself.
The Try Guys tried us
This YouTube TV series made a major breakthrough – we covered it; "SNL" even imitates it.
Kate Bush became a favorite of Gen Z
"Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" plays a major role in the fourth season of "Stranger Things" as the national anthem, keeping Sadie Sink's Max grounded (literally). The show introduced millions of viewers to independent female singers from the 80s, who were deeply hit. Ms. Bush graciously welcomed her legions of new fans, many of whom were decades younger than her hits.
The end of 2022 in an eventful autumn
The last weeks of the year are especially important: we all stare at the TV to see the ending of "White Lotus" while discussing death and picking on the style of a Gen Z character. The Netflix series "Wednesday," a suspense film centered on Wednesday Adams, broke viewership records, allowing TikTok users to perform their own horror dance for Lady Gaga's "Bloody Mary."
