This year's National Album Day 2022 has been confirmed to celebrate the art of the debut album, and its list of artist ambassadors has been announced.

To help kickstart the festivities, the National Album Day 2022 artist ambassadors have been named as Sam Ryder, KSI, Franz Ferdinand, The Mysterines and The Staves.
Many of the artists included have released debut albums - for example, Franz Ferdinand's self-titled 2003 debut hit Number 3 on the Official Albums Chart - while Eurovision hero Sam Ryder is gearing up to release his very own debut, after leading the UK to a record-breaking result in Eurovision this year.
