WXCI AFTER HOURS TOP 105 OF 2022!


Clockwise from top left:
Turnstile, Chat Pile, Oceanator, Automatic, Flasher, Nilüfer Yanya, Mister Goblin, Momma


HAPPY NEW YEAR! Who's ready for another end of year list???

For those wondering, our Top 105 is not a "best of." Instead, we added up individual track spins between Jan 1 and Dec 31, regardless of release date. So this means "The Dealer" by Nilüfer Yanya was played during After Hours (10pm-5am) more than any other song throughout 2022.

Many songs released in the last few months of 2021 continued getting played a lot throughout 2022, so this is why a few tracks from 2021 (and probably 1 or 2 from 2020) placed here. This year, we also experimented with a "points" system giving an extra push to adds from Oct/Nov/Dec. So there's a few songs appearing here from the last few months of 2022 pretty much all placed in the #65-105 section.

We counted exactly 400 After Hours jams that were added in 2022, and here are the 105 most overplayed!
