Hello and welcome to The List 2024: a countdown of my top 20 albums of the year. To be eligible a record has to be full-length and studio recorded. This tradition dates back to the year 2000, so 2024 is the twenty-fifth iteration. You can find links to my lists for all the previous years at the end of this one.

If you’re also interested in my favourite films of 2024, you can find a list of those over on Letterboxd.

But this is the place for music. Let’s get underway.
