Breakdown
A decent first week of releases, though nothing I would predict lands in my top50 at the end of the year.
Out of the four CHANCE デラソウル albums dropped last week, Seasides is my favorite by a considerable margin among them. @Bluecloud777, if you haven't tried that one yet, I'd encourage you to.
Gupi's release was meh outside of a couple of tracks, same with The Weeknd's Dawn FM. Both of the metal releases highlighted by @musicjunkiegreg (Wilderun - Epigone and Aequorea - Dim) were enjoyable enough. Los Days and Dope Lemon were also decent. My favorite release of week 1 is Charaxes - The Waking Year, brooding dark ambient/sound collage.
Looking forward to a much more loaded week 2.
I did enjoy my listen of Earl. I wish I had remembered to listen to the Bonobo before my Punch Brothers showed up. Punch Brothers is gonna dominate my listening for a bit.Week 3 summary:

Bonobo! My favorite 2022 release so far, and likely to be a top50 entry by the end of the year.
Earl Sweatshirt dropped a solid record in SICK! as well. Muggs x Rigz and Podel had interesting hip hop and ambient records released, respectively. I wish I liked the FKA Twigs mixtape far more than I do, though...
Still on vacation through the weekend, so this chart primarily represents music listening through Monday during work and downtime.
I keep waiting for this guy:Week 4/2022

I haven't listened to as much music as I liked to this week. AURORA and Kyla La Grange are interesting, but I have to re-listen to judge them. The Dakota Jones and Matt Berry vinyl records sound very good.
