Why am I seeing Olivia Rodrigo all over these lists? What's the deal behind this?

Sexyy strikes again at #46. the People's Champ

Billy woods the people’s pen strikes again

Extremely popular pop artist is popular

Wednesday

Javelin at #35 is surprising, been seeing Sufjan pretty high elsewhere

another Nourished by Time mention, #34. incredible, but we need him higher

first time i'm seeing Brent Faiyaz on a list, #30 i liked it but eh

and made a good album too. so there’s that

It's O-Rod, what you thought?

Popular artist made a critically acclaimed album.

That 10-7 run

Rock AOTY Life Under the Gun out NOW

i've been meaning to listen to the Bully album and it's popping up all over these lists. gotta get into it

the MSPAINT and Hotline TNT albums too but i gotta be in a certain mood to listen to punk or noisier music like that lol

cool, varied list tho

Hotline TNT album is pretty mellow and shoegazey. I'd say the mood is more rainy day than high energy

Feeble Little Horse, noice

Talented popular artist shows up everywhere on year end list

WEIRD!

oh ok cool good to know, i can work with that

this isnt most popular list, its BEST albums list

and why is it critically acclaimed was the question I asked? It's not her vocals, it's not her song writing abilities

I already know whoever made this list and I would not get along

where’s zach, @op?

her songwriting is what most critics point to when discussing her believe it or not

ctrl + f drake no results so didn't read

f***ing hell

Love that Wednesday is finally getting love but that isn’t even the best Wednesday album how’s it cleaning up on these lists
