18. JADE - "Angel of My Dreams"
19. Mustafa - "Gaza Is Calling"
20. Billie Eilish - "BIRDS OF A FEATHER"

OK this songs list is also pretty great - do I need to start reading Exclaim! now?

Kendrick, Billie, Chappell, and Sabrina singles I expect to see on many many lists. Quality tracks that were huge commercially.

The Nourished by Time and Nilüfer Yanya tracks (and projects) haven't left rotation since release, such dope artists.

Another list with JADE "Angel of My Dreams" let's f***in goooo, I think her album's gonna be really good next year.

This time "Diet Pepsi" is the Addison pick, I prefer "Aquamarine" but not mad at it.

The Kim Gordon "BYE BYE" track was definitely a shocker haha, even had KTT tapped in

"Loud Bark" and "Wristwatch" are my favorite tracks on their respective albums, good picks. That Waxahatchee/MJ Lenderman collab a really good tune, too.

Charli got two on here, as she should! Lorde collab at #1 again, THEY CAN'T TAKE THE GREATNESS.

wristwatch and hell of a ride two of my favorites of the year, yes lawd!

20. The Last Dinner Party – Prelude to Ecstasy

another #1 for the boys from Ireland

Kendrick and Tyler are definitely the two big rap releases of the year. Should be interesting to see which one ranks over the other more consistently

And who's going to be the first to rank BRAT as #1 AOTY

I'm a simple girl. I see a list without 454, I keep it pushin.

we have to stop pretending taylor swift is making elite music

tyler is rap album of the year and my personal aoty

The last two albums have been far from elite, need her back in that folklore/evermore bag

whole lotta transcribing, everyone's dropping theirs today

I love the Bon Iver EP too, but it's like 10 minutes of music...they weren't serious.

This list is fuego, gonna have to inspect a lil more for anything I haven't checked out that I should

Rolling Stone did it, not surprised

Rolling Stone's list is...............

at least they have PLAY CASH COBAIN

Dark Times & Blue Lips below Cash Cobain, Latto, GloRilla, & Doechii's albums on Rolling Stone year end list
:vlosereave:

After CHROMAKOPIA and GNX, Almighty So 2 might be the most highly ranked rap album so far. Was not expecting that lol seems like Keef ain't really on the radar these days. Blue Lips, Dark Times, and Alligator Bites Never Heal also popping up a lot.

thank you for providing

lol yeah those names should probably be higher on the songs lists, not albums

but it's Rolling Stone, unserious

Rolling Stone definitely more pop friendly this year
