's "In the Air" was the top song of 2020; The Glass Animals track "Heat Waves" was the top song of 2021 (although only peaking at number two); and Elton John and Dua Lipa 's "Cold Heart (Pnau remix)" was the top song of 2022.
A total of 170 singles topped the chart in the 2000s, including 23 by New Zealand artists. Twenty artists had three or more number-one singles; the most successful was Akon, whose seven number-ones totalled twenty-three weeks on top of the chart.

A list of over 900 candidate songs was prepared, and voting was open to APRA members and an invited academy.
