The 20 Best Albums of 2022 So Far
Which albums have impressed critics the most during the first half of the year? Above, we rank the best-reviewed LPs released between January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2022 by Metascore. Albums must have at least 7 reviews from professional critics to be eligible, and resissues, EPs, live albums, and compilations are excluded.
The best album from the first half of 2022 is the third studio LP from Spanish popstar Rosalía. Somehow besting her stellar sophomore set El Mal Querer, which made her an international star and a multiple Grammy winner, Motomami once again finds the artist experimenting with genre and form. It also finds her collaborating with Pharrell Williams and The Weeknd, among others.
“A stunning listening experience, even for longtime fans of Rosalía.” —Consequence
