Deezer is getting in ahead of Spotify for its end-of-year round-up.
Ahead of the Spotify Wrapped rundown, Deezer has launched its 2022 Rewind charts along with a channel on the platform to highlight the biggest artists and songs of the year.
Ed Sheeran led the Top 10 streaming artists in the UK in 2022, while his ÷ album was the biggest on the platform in his home market. Significantly, nine of the Top 10 albums qualify as catalogue titles as they are at least 18 months old.
Harry Styles is at No.2 - but for 2019’s Fine Line rather than this year’s Harry’s House. Adele’s 21, released in 2011, finished at No.5 ahead of 30 - the only non-catalogue title - at No.9. Sheeran’s 2014 LP x made No.6.
Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour - at No.4 in Deezer’s UK chart - is effectively a catalogue title as of this week.
In the Top 10 Tracks for the UK, a No.3 appearance by Kate Bush’s revived hit Running Up That Hill is perhaps to be expected. But The Beatles finished higher, at No.2, with In My Life.
Globally, Imagine Dragons emerged as Deezer’s most streamed act. The biggest track from 2022 internationally was Harry Styles’ As It Was, while Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti was the biggest album globally on the platform. Bad Bunny was crowned Apple Music’s Artist Of The Year.
Deezer users’ personal favourites will be revealed in #MyDeezerYear on November 29.
In its rundown of 2022, Deezer include the top songs identified with SongCatcher and its humming feature, as well as the top translated songs with Lyrics Translation.
