The Results of GOAT's Inaugural Tastemakers Survey

GOAT stands for the Global Office of Architecture & Taste, an interdisciplinary design practice known for its boldness and creativity. Design is our passion, but that’s not all.

“One of the things Peter and I have shared since we started GOAT is a love for music and, other than design, it's probably the thing we discuss and debate most frequently,” explained GOAT co-founder Colin VanWingen. “The other thing we both love most is lists.”

This love of music and lists led Colin and Peter to create the company’s inaugural tastemakers survey. Each team member submitted their top 10 albums and top 10 songs of the year, which were then compiled into larger playlists now available to the public.

The ultimate goal was to create playlists that capture the unique vibe of our studio. Here are the top 50 songs and top 50 albums of 2022.

We then sat down to rank everyone else’s submissions to find out which song and album we collectively thought were the best of the year. Harry Styles came out on top, with his album Harry’s House as our #1 album of the year and his song “As It Was” as our #1 song of the year.

As a bonus, head over to Instagram to find each team member’s top songs and albums of the year and our top colors, too!
