Årets Beste Album 2024
I 2024 blomstret popmusikken på nytt med eksepsjonelle album som fengslet publikum over hele verden. Blant de bemerkelsesverdige albumene i 2024 står Charli XCX sin «Brat» helt i toppen, en knalltung elektropop-sensasjon som ikke bare toppet listene, men også utløste det kulturelle fenomenet «Brat summer», som påvirket både mote og sosiale medier trender gjennom sommeren 2024. Med «The Tortured Poets Department» leverte Taylor Swift poetiske refleksjoner om tragiske romanser, og albumet ga henne tittelen Spotifys mest streamede artist på verdensplan for andre år på rad. Beyoncé våget seg inn i countrymusikk med «Cowboy Carter» og leverte et sjangerbøyende album som fikk gjenklang hos både fans og kritikere. Og så må du ikke glemme Billie Eilish sin «Hit Me Hard and Soft», som ytterligere sementerte hennes unike plass i musikkbransjen som en svært særegen, alternativ popmusiker med stor mainstream-appell.
I rockefeltet kom The Cure tilbake etter 16 år med albumet «Songs of a Lost World», kanskje deres beste album siden tidlig på 90-tallet. Jack White ga ut et vilt og rått overraskelsesalbum, "No Name", som var like fantastisk som det var et imponerende viralt markedsføringsstunt; The Smile bestemte seg for å gi ut ikke bare ett, men TO album; Fontaines DC gikk inn i et Britpop-inspirert post-punk-univers på «Romance»; Nick Cave fant lyset igjen på «Wild God»; Godspeed deg! Black Emperors post-rock-opus, "INGEN TITLE SOM 13. FEBRUAR 2024 28.340 DØDE" skilte seg ut som et tankevekkende politisk verk; og Blood Incantation ga oss deres tredje strake prog metal/synthesizer fusion-mesterverk.
Innen hiphop dominerte Kendrick Lamars overraskelsesalbum «GNX» hitlistene, mens indiescenen så den strålende returen til Beth Gibbons og Vampire Weekend . Og Adrianne Lenker sementerte at hun er et unikt låtskrivertalent på albumet sitt «Bright Future».
Den moderne countryscenen ble nok en gang beriket med flere fremragende album i 2024. Zach Bryans "The Great American Bar Scene" ble et høydepunkt i 2024, og befestet Bryans status som et moderne countrykraftverk ytterligere. MJ Lendermans "Manning Fireworks" var et alt-country-høydepunkt for musikkentusiaster over hele verden; Under alter egoet Johnny Blue Skies gikk Sturgill Simpson inn i en ny fase av karrieren, og blandet country, pop og rock på «Passage du Desir»; og Sierra Ferrell fikk sitt store gjennombrudd med «Trail of flowers» etter å ha vært en undergrunnsfavoritt i neotradisjonalistisk country i årevis.
