bluechemtrails 26,756 Posted Wednesday at 07:16 PM The race for Album of the Year (AOTY) and Song of the Year (SOTY) has begun, the first lists have been published: https://www.albumoftheyear.org/list/summary/2024/ https://www.albumoftheyear.org/songs/best/2024/ Last year, A&W won, and Ocean Blvd came in an honorable third place, though the critics rating was rather mediocre. I give Tough some chances this year to land in the top 50 of the SOTY list. So what are your favorites this year? 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candy Necklace 7,783 Posted Wednesday at 07:21 PM My SOTY is probably Eternal Sunshine, AOTY is hard- can’t choose between Hit Me Hard And Soft & Eternal Sunshine 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jazzlessbaby 1,599 Posted Wednesday at 09:50 PM I haven't been as locked in for new music this year, but I'd say my top 5s would be: Albums - Alligator Bites Never Heal, Cowboy Carter, Bird's Eye, Quantum Baby and Eternal Sunshine Songs: Denial Is a River, Eusexua, Alliigator Tears, Caught Up, Bigger in Texas & Girl so confusing 4 Quote ...and I'm happy for this day No matter what you say I don't have to be sad like you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeminiLanaFan 49,044 Posted Wednesday at 10:15 PM AOTY: Mahashmashana by Father John Misty.

Glitter Boy 16,558 Posted Thursday at 01:43 AM Sadly, this year it was very easy to narrow the album releases down to my top 10, even if we got a huge amount of albums in 2024. AURORA - What Happened to the Heart? Kylie Minogue - Tension II Hayley Mary - Roman XS Florrie - The Lost Ones Paloma Faith - The Glorification of Sadness Bonnie McKee - Hot City Bastille - & Imagine Dragons - LOOM David Kushner - The Dichotomy Kerli - OVERSOUL I say 'sadly' because some (actually many) artists I really love released albums this year and were not it. Luckily there still was actual quality music out either way. 4 Quote "I'm wild, I'm free, no man can handle me" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quincy 4,405 Posted Thursday at 04:14 PM AOTY contender has to be Girl with No Face by Allie X. Brat is another obvious one, but plenty of people have already nominated it here. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flamingos 564 Posted Thursday at 06:34 PM Albums: The Cactus Blossoms Camila Cabello Ariana Grande Enrique Iglesias Sabrina Carpenter Dua Lipa Taylor Swift Billie Eilish SOTY, probably this one: 2 Quote 💜 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
