Our show hosts on KBAC 98.1 Radio Free Santa Fe play lots of great songs, but even they have their favorites! We asked Honey Harris, Michelle, and Chris D. to compile a list of their top songs played on KBAC in 2022. They all noted that it was harder than one would think to narrow the hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of songs they play to a top ten list. Chris D. went the extra mile and gave his top 10 singles AND his top 10 albums! Michelle couldn’t stick to 10, and listed 10 more as “honorable mentions.” Honey went a different route and listed her top 10 musicians/groups whose music was played on KBAC in 2022.
So, we have plenty of songs and groups for you to explore on our top songs of 2022 list!
