Nov 20, 2024

Just an idea I had, everyone can suggest one (or as many as they want) albums that released in 2024 and I will randomize them and throw them in a bracket to see who comes out as the number one album of 2024.

GUIDELINES/SET-UP:
-Must have been released between Jan 1st, 2024 and Dec 30th, 2024
-“Released on streaming” releases count (ex. Days Before Rodeo)
-Deluxes that released this year for an album that released in 2023 or before do NOT count (ex. GUTS (spilled))
-Deluxes are NOT considered as their own album (ex. BRAT remix album will just fall under BRAT)
-"Anniversary" deluxes do NOT count as a 2024 release
-All genres accepted
-Mainstream and underground accepted
-First 64 albums named will be added
-Suggestions close Dec 31st @ Midnight EST or when we hit 64 total albums (64 albums achieved on 12/27/24)
-Seeding is based on average scores on AOTY.org on 12/27/24
-Polls for round 1 open Jan 8th
-Polls for each round will be open for 1 week to give everyone time to lend their ears to the albums and give their vote, this whole process will take a few weeks so be prepared!
-Google Forms will be used for the polls. It will ask for your email just so it limits it to 1 response per person, but I will make it where it does NOT collect your email address for me to see!

**NOTE: YOU CAN NAME ANY ALBUM FROM 2024, IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE YOUR AOTY OR EVEN AN ALBUM YOU LIKE! THIS IS JUST A WAY TO COLLECT A LARGE RANGE OF ALBUMS TO ALL FACE OFF AGAINST EACH OTHER AND INCLUDE FELLOW POSTERS IN THE BRACKET CREATION PROCESS! ALSO, USERNAME BESIDE THE SUGGESTED ALBUM DOES NOT MAKE THIS A COMPETITION TO SEE WHOSE ALBUM WINS, IT IS JUST TO SHOW WHO PICKED THE ALBUM**

Nov 20, 2024

There’s plenty but I’ll start with these:

 

Nov 20, 2024

David Lynch and Chrystabell - Cellophane Memories. Amazing album.

 

Nov 20, 2024

Yeah Death of Slim Shady! Best album of 2024

 

Nov 20, 2024

Will add all of these shortly! Glad to see people think this is a good idea

 

Nov 20, 2024

ADDED:
2093 - Yeat
brat - Charli xcx @Ripper Roo
Cellophane Memories - Chrystabell & David Lynch @Supersonic
CHROMAKOPIA - Tyler, The Creator
Short n' Sweet - Sabrina Carpenter @Ripper Roo

Anyone who sees this thread, suggest an album or two or three! No limit! Lets fill this MFer up

 

Nov 20, 2024

I’ll sit back in the shadows and wait before I post a third pick.

 

Nov 20, 2024

@Marsh I know d--- well you have some picks you'd be passionate about

 

Nov 21, 2024

Not really, Em has album of the year on lock for me I was rooting for Abel but that was until I heard the new singles

 

Nov 21, 2024

In that case, you can name any album from 2024! I’m just trying to get a solid list and range of albums from 2024 without just doing it myself and missing a hidden gem or obvious album. h---, name albums from this year you think are mid or trash, just trying to build the list

 

Nov 21, 2024

The Weeknd’s album has to come out this year. If it doesn’t that would be crazy. Playboi Carti’s album could come out in December but I’m not betting on it. Kendrick Lamar could still drop an album but to a lot of people that’s starting to seem more like a 2025 drop. I’ve also been hearing some interesting rumblings about Jay Z but who knows. It’s fine though, 2024 was already stacked. There’s been so many good albums, even Future himself dropped 3 of them.

 

Nov 21, 2024

Carti in December so he can sweep the bracket

 

Nov 21, 2024

There’s albums like Imaginal Disk by Magdalena Bay that got a lot of buzz but I can’t recommend them for the bracket because I haven’t listened yet

 

Nov 21, 2024

The way he was asking those fans December or January… like bro what the f--- did you think they were gonna pick??? Lol

 

Nov 21, 2024

That’s another reason why I was down for people to suggest albums to build the list, there’s a handful of albums I have yet to tap into at all or fully

can you believe I still haven’t listened to Sabrina’s in full yet haha, maybe I do that tomorrow alongside the AOTWClub album, should be a interesting double listen

 

Nov 21, 2024

Added two chart topping heavy hitters from earlier this year,

The Tortured Poets Department - Taylor Swift
We Don’t Trust You - Future

 

Nov 21, 2024

ScHoolboy Q - Blue Lips
Vince Staples - Dark Times

 

Nov 21, 2024

Gonna slow down on suggesting, I know I started the thread and all but I already put 5 down notable albums from this year haha

 

Nov 21, 2024

Added!
