It's the first time in the decade+ I've been doing this that I've been able to make a top 50 because there's been that much music that's really stuck with me. My top 2 in particular have hit me in a way I was worried I might not get again from new music. Plus I got a new song from my favourite band and I'm still so thrilled at how fantastic it is. One of my biggest wishes for the new year is that they follow it up with a new album.
That Brutus album is another one I haven't listened to yet for some reason. Really liked the last one.

After a couple years where I loved a lot of new music (but less than y’all weirdos), I really leaned into familiar tunes this year. I can think of a few different artists with new albums who would’ve thrilled me just a year and a half ago, that just kinda slipped past me. Oh well! There’s still a handful of ‘22 releases that I found at the perfect time and dug a fair amount: 1.) Beyoncé - RENAISSANCE 2.) The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language 3.) Taylor Swift - Midnights 4.) Avril Lavigne - Love Sux 5.) Drug Church - Hygiene 6.) BLACKPINK - BORN PINK 7.) Pale Waves - Unwanted 8.) Hayley Kiyoko - PANORAMA 9.) Rina Sawayama - Hold the Girl 10.) Hikaru Utada - BAD MODE

Firstly, I have spent this evening with my partner going through everybody's lists and checking folk out. Some amazing stuff i cant wait to listen to more of. I have not really checked out much new music this year and have been in my nostalgia bubble! So I have a small contribution. The only EP i have checked out is by this chap Last Boy. I have found myself singing loud in my car: "I need more distractions, more and more. So i dont have to think about the nick of my life, and my health, and myself and my wealth. Oh this is hell, there must be something, there must be something better than this". The lyrics sound depressing, but i find it cathartic. I saw an interview where he said "I’m just trying to make light of the fact that it’s so easy for us, whether we like it or not, to feel like everything is shite and the good times are far away."

Thought it would be interesting to tally up every list in this thread to see if I missed out on anything. Overall, there were 850 albums across 95 different lists. The album in 1st place appeared on 39 individual lists, while the album in 50th place appeared on 8 lists. Out of the 850 albums in the final list, 568 only showed up on one single list. Had to take some liberties while compiling this - any album noted as being an "honorable mention" wasn't counted. Lists posted "in no particular order" were tallied up in the order they were posted in. Different versions of the same album are seen as being interchangeable (i.e. "Taylor Swift - Midnights" and "Taylor Swift - Midnights (3am Edition)" are counted as the same album). The full list is here for anybody who wants it. Top 50 1. The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language 2. The Wonder Years - The Hum Goes on Forever 3. Gang of Youths - angel in realtime. 4.
