Future lands at top of the list
Pandora has revealed its Top Thumb Hundred of 2022, the annual ranking of the most-loved songs by Pandora listeners, with Grammy Award-winning rapper Future taking the top spot with โWait For Uโ featuring Drake & Tems. Latin superstar Bad Bunny has the most songs on the list, with five of his hits making the Top Thumb Hundred for 2022. The countdown playlist launches today (Tues, Nov 29th) and is hosted by Pandora programmers J1 and Melony Torres.
In addition to his No. 1 track, Future makes the Top Thumb Hundred of 2022 with the track โWorst Dayโ at No. 86. He also appears on hits such as โMe or Sumโ featuring Future & Lil Baby by Nardo Wick at No. 56; โPushin Pโ featuring Young Thug by Gunna & Future at No. 62; and โBeautifulโ featuring Future & SZA by DJ Khaled at No. 73. The rapper earned his heavy presence on the year-end list by effortlessly flowing through different sub genres of hip hop and successfully collaborating with his chart-topping peers.
Latin music made a tremendous mark on this yearโs list with artists such as Bad Bunny, Karol G (โProvenzaโ at No. 2), Becky G (MAMIII at No. 17), and more landing in the Top 20.
