The songs American Writers Museum staff had on repeat this year.
At the American Writers Museum, we celebrate all kinds of writing including songwriting! Which is why we’re taking a look back at some of our favorite songs of 2022, much like Spotify’s popular annual “Wrapped” series. Not all these songs came out in 2022, but we did listen to them a lot this year. Like, a lot.
