List of Billboard Adult Contemporary number ones of 2022

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adult Contemporary is a chart published by Billboard ranking the top-performing songs in the United States in the adult contemporary music (AC) market, based on weekly airplay data from radio stations compiled by Broadcast Data Systems.

The first number one of the year, in the issue of Billboard dated January 1, was "Merry Christmas" by Ed Sheeran and Elton John. It was John's 17th Adult Contemporary number one, extending his lead for the most among all artists on the chart, and also set a new record for the longest timespan of AC number ones by an artist, coming more than 48 years after he first topped the listing.[1] The following week "Easy on Me" by Adele returned to the number one spot, for its fourth non-consecutive week atop the chart.[2]
