Best Albums In 2020

[vertovera]

Hi everyone! We are almost at the end of the horrible 2020. We had bad experiences, bad things happened around the world this year. But also there were good things that happened in music industry around this time. Lots of artists have done great work. I'm really curious about what your favorite albums are this year. Which album was the best album of the year and what is your favorite music video in 2020? You can tell as many as you want. I'll tell you mine first. Here are the albums:

1. Folklore by Taylor Swift
2. Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa
3. Plastic Hearts by Miley Cyrus 
4. More & More by Twice
5. Eyes Wide Open by Twice
6. Confetti by Little Mix
7. After Hours by The Weeknd
8. Chromatica by Lady Gaga

I know it's a lot but these are the albums I've been listening non-stop throughout 2020. As I said this year was a good year for me in terms of music and I had a hard time choosing the albums . In my opinion -even though Plastic Hearts is competing with Folklore- Folklore is the best album of the year, it has a special place in my heart and it will be.

My favorite music video is Adore You which is extremely bizarre by Harry Styles. That's all! I'm looking forward to hear about yours. I hope you don't let this flop.  I wish you all happy new year in advance.

Gaga should be sorry to her fans for ditching her album for Oreos.

I'm really slow when it comes to catching up with new album releases, so I still haven't checked out SAWAYAMA and What's Your Pleasure?  evermore and folklore are welcome additions to Taylor's discography, but they're not something I would listen to every day.

I really liked the Kylie Minogue Disco

And of course, Glory re-issue

1. Not Positions 

[RadicalOptimism]

Future Slayalgia 

[ALBAVEASP]

One of 2020's best albums is Lipa's Future Nostalgia. Btw, I don't consider these records as high-tier level but I genuinely like them; Smile by Katy Perry, and Nectar by Joji.

What's Your Pleasure?  

Hunny, you HAVE to listen to Whats Your Pleasure? Its a pure masterpiece and you will LOVE it  Spotlight, Read my lips and Mirage are so amazing and truly so earthly and glam-disco at its finest!  Even @Iconic 4 U stans this masterpiece

I can't call it an album because it has 14 songs in it and I hear just one song over and over again throughout the album. I guess I’m not the only one. Positions is a veritable disappointment.

[Blackout2006]

Great thread! Heres my list

1. Future Nostalgia
2. Whats Your Pleasure?
3. SAWAYAMA
4. Fine Line
5. The Slow Rush
6. Chromatica
7. After Hours
8. Rare
9. Folklore
10. SMILE (i said what i said and the Katy haters will deal )

Unpopular Opinion: Folklore is a great album and such a breath of fresh air from Taylors discography but i wouldn't go as far to say it was the best album of 2020  I mean opinion-wise, i enjoy albums like Rare and SMILE more than Folklore but if i am objectively speaking, there are still many albums more amazing or excellent like Slow Rush, SAWAYAMA, Whats Your Pleasure? and Fine Line which were fantastic bodies of work so i dont see why the review labels are everywhere calling it the best album of 2020

And then you have people whom call it her most risky and experimental album and i feel extremely sorry for them

I know I should. If I remember correctly, the top YouTube music reviewer listed it as his favorite album of 2020, which is huge for a pop record.
