2020 Album Of The Year List
Well, here it is, my full Top 100 albums of the year list.
Prerequisite: I purposely didn’t rank any posthumous albums; so no Mac Miller, Pop Smoke, or Juice WRLD are on this list. I also didn’t factor in any album’s deluxe edition, because dammit, i’m sick and tired of that gimmick.
Anyway, make sure you listen to my latest podcast episode, where I talk about my Top 15 albums.
Enjoy!

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to listen to and rank everything I wanted to this year. Some noteworthy projects that I just completely forgot to add are Shake The Snow Globe – Russ, The Album – Teyana Taylor, Savage Mode II – 21 Savage & Metro Boomin, as well as Streams Of Thought Vol. 3 – Black Thought.
However, I did end up ranking a total of 126 albums this year, so i’m not necessarily all that sorry that I missed a few.
Let me know what you all think of the list! Positive or negative reactions are welcome. This is literally just my opinion, so go crazy.
