Top TV Shows of 2022 Driving Music Discovery

Here at Tunefind we’re looking back at some of the highlights from 2022, including the top movie soundtracks, top new TV shows driving music discovery, top tv syncs, and most popular artists on Tunefind. Check out our handy compilation of all our year-end coverage at Round Up: Tunefind’s Best of 2022.

We cover over 2,000 television shows from around the world here at Tunefind. At any given time throughout the year some 250 or so of those are putting out new episodes – and featuring new music. But only some television shows use music in a way that drives fans to the ends of the internet to hunt down that song. That new artist you haven’t heard before. A cover that puts a new twist on an old favorite. That ear worm you can’t get out of your head. An unreleased mystery track…

These are the television shows that consistently send fans searching out the music and artists featured each episode. The viewers are super engaged with the music, following the soundtrack as closely as they follow the plot lines.

And, while television show production ramped up this year, the masses continued to lean on the nostalgic and well-loved series of old. The streaming services were happy to oblige, and fans started digging through past seasons of old favorites at a rapid pace. Whether it was lighthearted sitcoms like Gilmore Girls, or classic dramas like Suits, the archives are full of great television that provided widespread entertainment this year.

But first we kick things off with the active shows, airing new episodes this past year. These were the most popular shows whose soundtracks were driving music discovery during 2022.

From the Streaming Vaults

Some of these shows haven’t aired a new episode in over a decade, but they still drew in audiences this year – and had those fans seeking out the soundtrack. Whether you’re motivated by the series finale of Better Call Saul to re-watch spin-off’s original series Breaking Bad, or the premiere of How I Met Your Father had you wanting to dive back into the story of How I Met Your Mother, everything old is new again.

These are the shows that kept us distracted through 2022, with hours upon hours of episodes ready for your bingeing pleasure. And amazing soundtracks to fill up those playlists.
