We calculated our top 40 new releases of 2022 based on year-end lists by our writers.

Each voter’s individual ballot, featuring both new and historical releases, can be seen here. Albums and box sets released between November 12, 2021 and November 11, 2022 were eligible. Some discs may have slipped through the cracks, however, as official release dates shifted or weren’t available.
