“I’m Good”(Blue) by David Guetta & Bebe Rexha: Released August 26th, 2022. The song heavily samples Eiffel 65‘s 1998 single “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” “I’m Good (Blue)” was recorded, performed and remixed several years before it went viral on TikTok in 2022.  The song debuted at number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 on the issue dated 10 September 2022. It later peaked at number 7, making it Guetta’s seventh and Rexha’s fourth top-10 hit. Great dance time song. Best paired with some other high energy dance songs. 

“Hold Me Closer” by Elton John & Britney Spears: It was released as a single on 26 August 2022. The song combines elements from John’s songs “Tiny Dancer” (1971), “The One” (1992), and “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” (1976). It appears on the digital reissue of John’s collaborative album The Lockdown Sessions (2021).

We find this is a great song for Cocktail hour or coming out of dinner time to make that transition.

“Pepas” By Farruko: is a guaracha song by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Farruko from his studio album La 167.  This song was released as a single on June 24, 2021. Although it was released in 2021 we had to add it as this song exploded in 2022. “Pepas” continued to rule the chart spending the first eight weeks of this year on top (from Jan. 1 – Feb. 19). Farruko called the song, a “total experiment”. He gathered a few people in the studio. Then asked them to sing a stadium chant that sounded similar to a church choir. High energy song for dance time. Don’t see this song going away anytime soon.

“About Damn Time” by Lizzo: This song was released on April 14, 2022. The song reached number one in the United States, becoming her second number one single. Lizzo wanted to write a song that had the same uplifting emotional impact as “Good as Hell.” The song required approximately thirty additional studio sessions to finish, spanning four months. At one point, the song featured an entirely different chorus from the one included in the final release.

About the song’s thematic content. Lizzo stated, “I think life had thrown some major traumas and hard experiences at us, especially globally these last few years.  I wanted to write a song that allowed us to take a moment and celebrate our survival, and celebrate how far we’ve come.”

It marked the third US number-one single of Minaj’s career. It was also her first number-one song as a solo artist.
