Dear Poptastic Readers,
Happy New Year! In case you are just joining us, we have been counting down our Top 101 Songs of 2022. Today we finish the countdown.
#1 in our Top 101 Songs of 2022 is: “Get Me To The Weekend” by Betty Boo. Click on the name of the song to read about what we originally wrote about the song earlier this year.
Written by: Alison Clarkson (aka Betty Boo) Andy Wright, Ian Burden, and Phil Oakey
Produced by: Alison Clarkson, Andy Wright, and Gavin Goldberg
Why: Betty Boo's comeback this year was nothing short of amazing. She had 4 proper singles, 2 teaser singles, 3 music videos, 2 lyric videos, and 1 very fun album: Boomerang. It's hard to believe that 30 years passed between her 2nd album and her latest. It was her comeback single "Get Me To The Weekend" that we just couldn't stop listening to all year long. It's a bit wonky with the Human League sample, some obvious autotune, and a guitar solo. Maybe it shouldn't work, but it does! This is so much fun, and 2022 was better because Betty was back!
Watch: The music video features the Booettes and it is colorful delight. Check it out in our 2022 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on YouTube.
Live Performance: Check out this live performance of "Get Me To The Weekend" at Betty's album launch party in London.
Chart History: Before this year, Betty's last single was in 2007, and Poptastic Confessions started in 2011. So she has never been on our countdowns before this year. However, she did have lots of songs in our Top 101 Songs this year ...
"Shining Star" was #4 this year
"Stop Your Nonsense (Bubblegum Pop)" was #32 this year
"Miracle" featuring Chuck D was #44 this year
"All I Wanna Do" was #53 this year
