Val Woj writesCHIRP Radio’s Best of 2022: Val Wojs

CHIRP Radio Best of 2022

Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2022. Our next list is from DJ Val Wojs.

I’ve decided to opt for an unranked, overall/local split top 10 list this year. Let’s call it a five-way tie for number one overall, and (yet again!) my most listened to albums were from Chicago artists who also deserve their own top five recognition.
