I know some of these publications are SCRAMBLING to rework their lists after this week's events.

#7 on Time Out's list

Cindy Lee about to be all over these lists without even being available to stream, s*** might already be a cult classic.

I need to eventually dig into it some more lol, this winter when I'm locked in the crib for sure.

Fontaines cleaning house

Definitely my #2 behind Kendrick

Definitely one of my favorite rock releases this year, the singles are so good. "Starbuster" is the clear star, but I get lost every time I hear "In the Modern World."

They real for including BLUE LIPS in the top 10

apple music released a list

Over two hours ago and it ain't published on their own site yet IG really runs the world

And it's not ranked, they p****

Knew that Jessica Pratt record would be showing up, but I didn't think it would be on Apple Music's list. Haha

Do I need to be listening to Fuerza Regida? Am I missing some fire?

i see they're trying to balance this list out by getting some absolute bangers and also wanting to promote the most popular albums on their platform

yessir, slid that Mk.gee, The Cure, and Lenderman in there real smooth lol

you see it.

i never did check out that muni long record, feel like this is their 'R&B' pick. did you listen to it?

Yeah I did play it a few times. The first 3 tracks on it almost make you think it's the R&B AOTY. That's because Tricky, JD, and B. Cox are involved. Then it becomes more of a mixed bag. Solid though.

I listened to her R&B Money episode recently, really enjoyed her. She had interesting thoughts about shying away from being more of a traditional "singer" as far as all of the vocal techniques that go with that.

if casts of a dramer not in someone's top 5 it's fraudulent

Off top, I'm THRILLED to see Nemahsis' Verbathim on there. Album's so damn good I'm glad to see her getting the recognition for it.
