The WFHB Top 100 List identifies the most popular musical recordings of the year as chosen by the all-volunteer programming staff of community radio station WFHB in Bloomington, Indiana. Data was compiled from playlists for all music shows which aired between Oct. 1, 2021 and Dec. 30, 2022. Only albums added to WFHB’s Add Pool or Pond before Nov. 25, 2022, AND whose balance of overall chart performance came after Dec. 31, 2021, were eligible for inclusion.
