Top Songs of 2022: Ghana

Apple Music’s end-of-year charts are based on plays between 1 November 2021 and 31 October 2022. In 2022, young Ghanaian artists like Camidoh drove a return to Afropop with singles like “Sugarcane”—and he recruited Nigeria’s Mayorkun and DARKOO for the track’s viral remix. Singer-songwriter Wendy Shay told a universal story of healing from a broken heart on the mega-popular “Survivor”. Yet it’s safe to say that perhaps the year’s biggest breakout star was Black Sherif, who whose raw and relatable “Kwaku the Traveller” sparked a hugely popular TikTok challege, topped charts across the African continent and reached No. 1 on Shazam’s worldwide chart. Here, you’ll find what else Ghanaians had on repeat in 2022.
