So recently, BILLBOARD released the top 25 albums of 2022 STAFF PICKS . The critique and why these were chosen said : ¨In addition to K-pop having more worldwide eyes than ever, today’s listening habits demand more material from artists and more quality material on par with the singles already getting expensive investments and heavy promotional pushes.Luckily, these 25 artists below not only delivered on their title tracks and singles but created bodies of work that deserve further exploration beyond the glossy music videos. From TVXQ!‘s Max Changmin, BTS‘ J-Hope, and Red Velvet‘s Seulgi letting listeners into new parts of their minds with their solo efforts, to AKMU’s Lee Chahyuk adopting a whole new character with his concept album Error, plus RM creating a musical museum to honor his twenties on Indigo, there was a lot to dig into this year. Meanwhile, unexpected viral sensations came from B-sides by (G)I-DLE, TREASURE and ENHYPEN, proving that these artists packed their records with songs and messages to connect even further with fans."
and RM was chosen as #1 with INDIGO !!!!!!!! The explanation was like this : ¨While much can be made of Indigo‘s appeal extending beyond BTS’ core audience thanks to its guests, different genres and the fact that it made RM the highest-charting K-pop soloist ever on the Billboard 200, there’s a true accomplishment in an artist’s ability to tell their story and still make it wholly universal. RM captured the essence of his twenties in the 10 tracks on Indigo, but this 32-minute journey touches far beyond one person’s experience. Like good art, Indigo speaks to ideas and messages that are complicated to put into everyday words, but just listening to the music lets it all come to the surface."
