Perhaps it comes as no surprise to cinephiles and music junkies worldwide that 2022's movie soundtracks feature some of the year's best music. However, these soundtracks' overall compositions, range of talent, musical diversity, and powerful cinematic accompaniments in particular give the last decade's content a run for its money. From Baz Luhrmann's ELVIS collaborations to Hans Zimmer and Lady Gaga's Top Gun: Maverick musical masterpieces, 2022's top soundtracks continue to shatter glass ceilings with flawless scores, innovative renditions of classic songs, and profound original singles.
