10. BEAUTIFUL CHAOS (KATSEYE)

A catchy and energetic first album for a female girl group with endless talent.

9. RUBY
(JENNIE)

Jennie’s Ruby is more than a debut. Free from YG’s bubble, she has proven her creativity (like Jennie). Vocals? Flawless. Looks? Iconic. ‘It girl’ energy? Claimed and sealed. All wrapped in a production so diverse (the collabs) it could practically be her magnum opus.

8. MUSIC
(PLAYBOI CARTI)

I was it worth the wait? Is hard to answer that but the vibes of this album are unmatched, also putting Kendrick to do the ad lib of one of your songs is a big power move #YVL.

7. IDOLS
(YUNGBLUD)

Only gen z artist to make semi-authentic rock music. 12 tracks, zero skips, rock ballads, sequence changes, brit pop, soft rock, the works.

6. PERVERTS
(ETHAL CAIN)

If existential dread was an album. Ethal Cain really knows how to do a concept album well.

5. I BARELY KNOW HER
(SOMBR)

From sobbing to smiling to laughing to crying, the experience of listening to this album can only be likened to the whiplash caused by a head-on collision.

4. MALCOM TODD STILL
(MALCON TODD)

This album has me kicking my feet and giggling like a little girl at a sleepover. White Dominic Fike did it again.

3. FANCY THAT
(PINKPANTHRESS)

This album has me living my hyper-pop, pretty-in-pink, girly-girl fantasy. See you at Laneway, bitch.

2. DON’T TAP THE GLASS (TYLER THE CREATOR)

Releasing a dance album mid tour was the greatest move of the year.

1. DTMF
(BAD BUNNY)

Es Increíble, pero no solo tiene una buena vibra, sino también un gran significado para los hispanos, especialmente para los puertorriqueños. Denuncia a los Estados Unidos por querer expulsar a los locales y convertir PR en un destino turístico. ¡Estoy deseando que llegue el “Super Bowl” y ver a Bad Bunny decirles sus verdades a los estadounidenses, en uno de sus días más importantes!
