2022 New Year’s Eve Playlist

This year has been a great one for music so it only makes sense that a party celebrating the year would need an awesome New Year’s Eve playlist to help you ring in the new year! This playlist for New Years Eve is full of everything from the top pop hits like Anti-Hero to the best of the country world from Morgan Waller 

I always say that to plan a party you need to think about all five senses – taste, touch, seeing, hearing, and smelling. Having the perfect New Year’s Eve playlist can really make a big difference in your New Year’s Eve party because the right songs can put people in a good mood while other songs will kind of just be more background music.

I put together this New Year’s Eve playlist based on top songs of the year from all different categories – pop, country, rock, and more!

They’re songs that are appropriate for everyone (nothing explicit), have a good beat, and ones that most people probably will like! This was a great year for music, so enjoy!

This list is perfect for a little New Year’s Eve name that tune, a little How Do You Doo challenge, or a good game of Stack Attack!

Or of course for just playing at your New Year’s Eve party for people to dance to or just have on as background music!

The Best New Year’s Eve Playlist

This is a compilation of top songs from 2022 and when I say top it doesn’t necessarily mean they were released in 2022 (although most are) – it’s just the most popular songs of 2022!

Some of these may have been released in late in 2021 and didn’t really pick up steam until the new year! They’re still included because they’re still part of the playlist from the year!
