Apple Music’s end-of-year charts are based on plays between November 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022. There were significant homegrown heroes to celebrate this year in Ireland. Dermot Kennedy reasserted his popularity—all before the release of long-awaited second album Sonder in November—while dance floors were lit up by Dublin DJ duo Belters Only and their breakthrough anthem “Make Me Feel Good.” Looking across the Irish Sea, we found Harry Styles enjoying a phenomenal 2022, and his giddy earworm “As It Was” claims top spot on this list. Ed Sheeran’s grip at the top of these charts shows no sign of loosening (a pair of songs inside the top 10 for him this year), while a special mention goes to Glass Animals. The indie-rock outfit’s “Heat Waves” originally emerged as a single back in June 2020 and takes its place inside the top 15 here. The ultimate slow-burn hit, perhaps?
