Stay, which stayed atop the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks this summer, was No.1 on Apple Music's top 100 global songs chart, staying on top for 51 days straight.
Elton John and Dua Lipa's Cold Heart (PNAU Remix) was No.1 on the streamer's Shazam chart and We Don't Talk About Bruno from the movie musical Encanto was the song with the most-read lyrics in 2022 on the platform.
Joining Stay at the very top of the global songs list were As It Was by Harry Styles, Wait For U by Future featuring Drake and Tems, Super Gremlin by Kodak Black, Easy on Me by Adele, and Heat Wave by Glass Animals.
Hip-hop continued to lead the different genres on the global top 100 with 32 songs, followed by pop with 23 songs and R&B/soul in third place with 11 songs.
The data shows the growing presence of non-English-language tunes, with African songs on the rise on the Shazam chart as well as the global daily 100, while Japanese-language songs made big gains on the most-read lyrics chart.
"It's really the rise of what was once very niche genres creeping into the mainstream, which is an exciting new development on the platform," said Rachel Newman, global head of editorial.
Twenty-one non-English songs were in the global Top 100, more than double the number of songs last year.
Fifty-five Latin songs reached the Global Daily Top 100 in 2022, up 22 per cent from 2021. In 2022, six of the the 50 J-pop songs to reach the chart placed in the top 10; last year none were in the top 10.
In November, Apple Music crowned the Puerto Rican reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny its artist of the year, thanks in large part to his latest album, Un Verano Sin Ti, which became Apple Music's most streamed album of 2022 and its biggest Latin album of all time.
Apple Music had a big 2022 itself, hitting a milestone in October when it recorded its 100 millionth song on the streaming service.Â
That's more than YouTube Music's 80 million songs, Spotify's 82 million tracks and podcasts, and Amazon Music's 90 million songs.
