Top Albums of 2024 #1= "Imaginal Disk" by Magdalena Bay
#1 on the fans' top 20 at rateyourmusic.com #44 with critics at AOTY
It's unusual for something this poppy to do so well on RYM - an indication of its artistic vision. There's still life in art pop.

Top Albums of 2024 #1= "The Tortured Poets Department" by Taylor Swift
For the first time in this series, none of the #1 albums on the fans, critics and Billboard lists appear on the other top 20s. So it's a 3-way tie for #1.
TTPD spent 34 weeks on the Top 200, 17 of them at #1.

Top Albums of 2024 #4 "Songs of a Lost World" by The Cure
#4 on fans' and #3 on critics' top 20s.
Warms the cockles of my heart to see them back after 16 years with a pretty good album. Mortality, loss, bleakness and beauty. Good stuff for Cure fans.

Top Albums of 2024 #5= "Eternal Sunshine" by Ariana Grande
2 weeks at #1 on Billboard, 38 weeks in the Top 200 so far.
Critics largely praised it as a mature evolution in Grande's artistry. Most applauded its emotional honesty and polished production, though some found it too restrained.

Top Albums of 2024 #5= "The New Sound" by Geordie Greep

Top Albums of 2024 #8 - "Brat" by Charlie XCX
The only album to score the trifecta - fans', critics' and Billboard top 20s. A cultural phenomenon.
Balances vulnerability with club-ready bangers, offering some introspection beneath its glossy exterior.

Top Albums of 2024 - #9 "We Don't Trust You" by Future & Metro Boomin.
1 week at #1 on Billboard and 36 weeks in the Hot 200.
A mixed bag from a rap power duo. Strong openers but loses focus midway. Great beats, uneven rapping, and too much filler make this a project of hits and misses.

In the run-up to year-end music lists, I embarked on an interesting musical archaeology project. Starting with 1954, I will look at the top albums every 10 years - 1954, 1964, 1974 and so on - up to 2024. bit.ly/3Z7rOWM
