The Billboard Hot 100 is a chart that ranks the best-performing singles of the United States. Its data, published by Billboard magazine and compiled by Nielsen SoundScan, is based collectively on each single's weekly physical and digital sales, as well as airplay and streaming. At the end of a year, Billboard will publish an annual list of the 100 most successful songs throughout that year on the Hot 100 chart based on the information. For 2022, the list was published on December 1, calculated with data from November 20, 2021 to November 12, 2022. At the number-one position was Glass Animals' "Heat Waves", which spent 5 weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100. It accumulated a total of 91 weeks on the chart, which is the longest-charting song in the 64-year history of the Billboard Hot 100.
"Heat Waves" by Glass Animals (pictured) was the best-performing single of 2022; in addition, it was #16 on the 2021 Year-End List. It spent five weeks at number one on the weekly chart in 2022, and spent 91 weeks on the chart overall, becoming the longest-charting song in the Hot 100's 64-year history.
Three songs from Justin Bieber appear on the list, with "Stay" (with the Kid Laroi) at number 3, "Ghost" at number 8, and "Essence" (with Wizkid and Tems) at number 64.
Bad Bunny (pictured) has seven songs from his fourth solo studio album Un Verano Sin Ti on the Year-End list, tying Doja Cat for the most songs of any artist on the list. Of the seven songs, three made it to the top 50, with "Me Porto Bonito" (with Chencho Corleone), "Tití Me Preguntó" and "Moscow Mule" ranking at number 20, number 22 and number 44 respectively.
Two songs from Disney's 2021 film Encanto are on the Year-End list, with the number-one hit "We Don't Talk About Bruno" (by Carolina Gaitán, Mauro Castillo, Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz, Diane Guerrero, Stephanie Beatriz and the Encanto cast) at number 24 and "Surface Pressure" (by Jessica Darrow) at number 53. Both songs, along with six other original songs from the film, were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda (pictured).
