It is an annual tradition for me to create a puzzle based on some of the top songs of the previous year. I've been doing these puzzles for a few years now. The first batch of puzzles, which included versions for other media, have links with NSFW links. Fun times. I stick to music, mostly, now, with less risqué links.
Basically, I take a song title and change the words, and then I have my viewers guess the correct title. For example, if you saw "Preserve and Store That One's Lacrimal Fluids," the answer would be "Save Your Tears" by The Weeknd with Ariana Grande, the number two song for 2021 and the number forty song for 2022. This year continues a trend with various problems. For instance, many songs, such as "Tears," are repeated from the previous year. Also, there is a preponderance of one-, two-, and three-word titles. Shorter titles such as these are harder to rework. A few songs from last year had letters in their titles, and they are not easily changeable. Not to mention I sometimes can't figure out exactly what they mean. (What is "P" and how does one 'push' it?) Finally, slang terms and foreign words are quite popular as well. For the former, I might not know what they stand for. The latter, there really isn't any fun in directly translating a word, if I'm able to do it at all. Still, I have managed to come up with more than enough for this puzzle. As a hint, the titles are are roughly arranged in their end-of-year order. The answers are found at the bottom of the page.
